IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE AND TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WELLS FARGO WELLS FARGO PROMISED TO MODIFY PICK-A-PAYMENT LOANS AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT IN 2011. SINCE THAT TIME WELLS FARGO HAS BEEN FORECLOSING ON THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED. IT FOCUSED ITS FORECLOSURE ACTIVITIES ON THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED WHO HAD PICK-A-PAYMENT LOANS WITH WELLS FARGO USING THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AS A SHIELD. TODAY WELLS FARGO REFUSED TO HELP MS. KILGORE, AN ELDERLY WOMAN WITH ADVANCED COPD WHO IS OXYGEN DEPENDENT. WELLS FARGO REFUSED TO PAY HER AS PART OF THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT OR MODIFY HER LOAN. THEY LOCKED HER OUT OF HER HOME KNOWING SHE IS DEPENDENT ON OXYGEN WHICH REQUIRES ELECTRICITY. MEDICARE AND THE GOVERNMENT NOW REFUSE TO GIVE MS. KILGORE HER GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY TO OFFSET THE COST OF ELECTRICITY BECAUSE SHE IS LIVING IN A HOTEL INSTEAD OF A PERMANENT RESIDENCE AS REQUIRED BY THE GOVERNMENT. MS. KILGORE STARTED WORKING AT THE AGE OF 13. SHE BOUGHT A MODEST HOME IN 1992 WHERE SHE BORROWED $66,000.00 FROM THE BANK TO PURCHASE IT. FOR 16 YEARS SHE MADE ALL OF HER PAYMENTS ON HER HOME. SHE TRIED GETTING HER PICK-A-PAYMENT LOAN SHE OBTAINED RESCINDED IMMEDIATELY AFTER SHE SIGNED IT IN 2006 BUT THE BANK REFUSED. WHEN MS. KILGORE WAS EVICTED IN THE SUMMER OF 2013, SHE TURNED TO THE STATE FOR HELP, THEY STATED SHE IS PART OF THE CLASS AND HAS $50,000.00 WAITING FOR HER BUT SHE NEEDS A JUDGMENT FROM A COURT FIRST. MS. KILGORE IS BEING FORCED TO LEAVE HER MODEST HOTEL ROOM IN FRESNO BY SUNDAY BECAUSE THE HOTEL CANNOT AFFORD THE COST OF ELECTRICITY FOR HER OXYGEN. WITHOUT HER OXYGEN, SHE WILL DIE. OUR GOVERNMENT ISSUES TROS FOR CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, SUCH AS TESTING AND WE HAVE FEDERAL LAWS TO PROTECT ANIMALS BASED ON PURE NOTIONS OF HUMANITY. UNFORTUNATELY, JUDGE FOGEL COULD NOT FIND ANY LIKE LAWS TO ISSUE A TRO FOR MS. KILGORE OR OTHER PERSONS. MS. KILGORE HAD AN ATTORNEY LAST YEAR TRYING TO FIGHT IN COURT FOR HER BEFORE SHE LOST HER HOME WITH NO SUCCESS. SHE HAD A TRO AND LIS PENDENS IN PLACE BUT WELLS FARGO TOOK HER HOME ANYWAY. SHE HAS RETAINED THE LAW OFFICES OF LENORE ALBERT WHO TRIED TO GET AN EMERGENCY TRO BEFORE JUDGE FOGEL WHO IS MONITORING THE WACHOVIA PICK-A-PAYMENT SETTLEMENT. IT DID NOT WORK, BUT HER ATTORNEY WILL KEEP TRYING BECAUSE THE LAW IS BASED ON EQUITY AND EQUITY EXISTS TO ADDRESS AND PROTECT HUMAN LIFE WITH JUST AS MUCH VIGOR AS CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. IF ANYONE CAN OPEN UP THEIR HOME IN THE FRESNO AREA FOR MS. KILGORE AND HER DAUGHTER WHO IS HER CARETAKER, UNTIL THE SLOW WHEELS OF JUSTICE CAN BRING WELLS FARGO TO THE TABLE, PLEASE CONTACT THE LAW OFFICES OF LENORE ALBERT AT 714-372-2264. WE WILL BE CHECKING MESSAGES ALL WEEKEND. WELLS FARGO COUNSEL CAN BE CONTACTED AT: Stacie C. Knight Winston & Strawn LLP 214 N. Tryon Street Charlotte, NC 28202
