No eviction today!

Elvinia Lee heard a knock on her door yesterday, just a few weeks shy of her 104th birthday. It was the Sheriff’s department and moving company with a crew prepared to clear out her house, with an order from Deutsche Bank through loan servicer Chase Bank ordering the eviction of the Atlanta native and her 83 year old daughter who had lived in the home together for 53 years.

The movers and Sheriffs “took one look at” Lee and left, opting not to go through with the eviction and as seen in the video above, Lee was confident she would not be removed.

According to WSB TV, at some point in years past, a family member who was not living in the home took out a second mortgage and then never paid for it, making the home subject to eviction. The issue has been in and out of court over the years with a judge recently ordering the eviction which Chase Bank says is now off the table, telling the press they are working on keeping the women in their home.

The stress of the possible eviction made Lee’s daughter ill; she was rushed to the hospital the same day. Lee told the reporter that her message for the bank is simply “Please don’t come in and disturb me no more. When I’m gone you all can come back and do whatever they want to.”

haha, awesome!
Give those deputies a Bells!
 
Find the idiot that took out the second mortgage and evict him.

Don't blame the bank here, but glad they decided not to evict.

Our local councilor evicted an old bed-ridden woman a few years ago. She was 89 I think and was in the French resistance. Of course she died 3 weeks later. Some people are heartless.
 
My aunt in Nottingham had a knock at her door in April of 1999, the council come to evict her. Being 93 she was not too swift any more. Anyway, they started removing her furniture and the neighbour across the street came to see. Neighbour took one look at the document on the seat of the lorry and told the driver they were at the wrong house. She was 287 and they should have gone to 278 (driver was dyslexic). Anyway, much shouting and loud talking later, they put it all back and the local city councillor came to visit and gave her a free holiday in Bournemouth, plus some shut-up cash. The local newspaper reported it and it even got a mention on BBC Midlands
 
Heartless, souless banks. Thanks for the story.
