Police, Movers Refuse to Evict 103-Year-Old Woman

Im glad that the bank made the morally right decision in letting her stay as it is easy to see both sides of this story.
The first side is her side where she is too old to get a job to pay for the home.

Meanwhile you have the bank’s side where they loaned a substantial amount of money to someone who didn’t pay up and technically it’s the banks house.

“We will work out a resolution to keep them in the home,” said Chase” ~~~~~~~~~~ They should have done this in the first place.

Heartbreaking…BUT!

Did Chase know the ages of the women they were evicting? These women don’t own the home and had almost 3 years to find another place to live. How is the bank the evil one here? The blame should be placed on the grandson!

Yes, Brian, but you are NOT sure about a lot of things…like that they may have both worked ALL of their lives to have the FEW benefits they have in medicare/medicade….that it is actually CHEAPER to keep them in their homes than to be wards of the state….that both of these women may have been frauded by their family member who they trusted to take care of the finances….these are OUR elders, they deserve a break and they deserve respect AND the bank can come to some kind of mutally acceptable agreement they both parties will win with….and in the meantime, the community shouldn’t forget them, AND if they need to be moved to an assisted living situation that those community members will follow through and help them…they need help…even my own dear 82 year old Dad needs help and I wouldn’t expect him to figure it out for himself….!

How does she still have a mortgage??

Wow Brian you sure are sure about alot of things! Where did you hear that the bank is just going to let them stay? The artical said that they are going to work on a resolution to keep them in their home. That doesn’t mean they are going to stay for free! And how are you just so sure that tax payers are paying for the ambulance unless you know these people and know their medical insurance and financial business? Just a lil FYI…..You do sound Very Cold Hearted!

Hey Senator Fort, Now that you got your soundbite why don’t you go do the job the people elected you to do. You and your washington breathren make me puke.

I would like to hear what the grandson has to say for himself, it sounds like the whole thing was his fault.

Did Chase receive bailout money to stay open? Should the CEO at Chase forgo his huge bonus and allow this 103 year old woman to continue living in the house? If they evict the lady, the bank can make a quick sell of the property. Banks are in the business of making money, not being compassionate.

Cain’s decision to stay in the race depends not on the wife, but on the series of allegations of sexual assault. That is the story at the end of the day. Next!

Anyone who defends any of the SOB banks under ANY circumstances should be declared mentally disabled. These SOB banks stole billions from people, stole billions in fraudulent and bogus securities, and then got welfare cheese handouts from taxpayers and ZERO interest rates and they have the brass cojones to do what they do. They only backed off because of the heat they got and because of the media attention. Otherwise, they would put these folks out in a heartbeat. They would stomp on babies if they thought they could make money out of it. They are the most obscene bunch of worms ever on this earth. They should all fail and then maybe we can see a new banking system emerge where honesty and values mean something. They don’t deserve anything but misery just like they gave millions of Americans.

Fulton County Sheriffs office who saved old ladies from eviction vs. Tennessee firefighters who let a house burn over an unpaid $75 service charge. Coming soon to Celebrity Boxing! Let 103 year old grandma and her 83 year old daughter be ring girls!

Oustanding the nerve if Deutebank. I am proud of our police officers and the movers.The nerve after all the bank bailouts. They are rotten in my book. A 103 yearold lady my goodness,. The bank should hide in shame.

Hey Hank and Henry Paulson come out your rat hole and help this woman you speculated, created derivitives against and pay her house in full…..You profited now it is time to give back…THIEF! You put Eliot Spitzer down.
Why are you afraid of this WOMAN?

I like how people who preach love and compassion on here are the first ones to jump to the conclusion that its all the banks fault. Is it a rule that when you preach about love and compassion all the time that means you don’t actually look at the situation and you bare no common sense? First off, how do you live in a house for 53 years and not have it paid off? What about the worthless grandson who left his grandma and aunt out to dry, the grandson obviously had no love or compassion and didn’t pay anything for THREE years while he knew the consequences of his actions.

Mrs. Hall has lived 103 years soon to be 104 yrs old-she had paid her debt Chase Bank should send her the deed to the house for her 104th birthday and stamp it paid in full….there is nothing else she should owe anyone…that includes lights, water, gas, food and transportation…..Does anyone have the email address to Chase Bank we all should email,call, fax, the alone with Chanel 2 to make sure this happens….

To those saying these 2 very elderly ladies had 3 years to get out, are you serious? How are they meant to get out & search for a place to live? We don’t know the full story here, it seems they may have handed over their finances to the grandson to manage, not surprising at their age. There are many reasons why their grandson may have got into trouble, we don’t know if he lost his job, got sick, had an accident or what happened. The spirit of the Grinch is still alive & well in some US citizens it seems. Hope you never find yourself in similar circumstances.

So they have been leaving rent free for three years and will continue to do so? Where do I sign up for a free house?

Keep in mind people that we could have been in the same situation and we would’ve wanted favor of the Lord. But praises go up to the lord for he is an awesome God all by himself and he really showed up and showed out.

Did anyone notice the Mercedes CLK 320 and Toyota Land Cruiser parked in the front yard??

Not sure if the cars belong to that household. Even as late model used cars they have a combined worth probably in excess of the foreclosure sale value of that house.

Boy…some of you are some really sick, demented, heartless people. I bet if some of you all saw Jesus Christ sitting on the pavement as a beggar you’d go over and kick him while shouting “get a job you bums!”

I bet it never occurs to any of you that it could be very well possible that both of them are on a fixed retirement income. Or that both of them have medical expenses that exceed what Medicare pays for. You all have no idea whats going on…but yet you can’t find one iota of compassion in your hearts for a 104 year old woman. Not even in Christmas season.

Jesus Christ…what is happening to the people in this country? Its turning into Mad Max world.

“The banks must have know the age of these people but still tried to evict.”

The mortgage was in her grandson’s name. His name is on the paperwork, so how could they know who’s actually living in the house? Do you really think a big company like JP Morgan Chase knows the occupants of every house they hold mortgages on? Somehow, I don’t think so. All they look at is whether or not the mortgage is being paid, and when it’s not they deal directly with the person who’s name is on it.

I fully believe that the guy from Chase showed up, expecting to find the grandson and his family living there. And when he saw that it was just a 103 year old lady and her 80 some year old daughter, he stopped and said “There is NO WAY that I’m going to be the one responsible for this.”

But this does raise another thought: if they CAN feasibly work with this lady, why have they refused to work with people up until now?

Age is no reason not to evict these people. The courts made a ruling, the mortgage was not paid, the house was forclosed, eviction notices were issued. THEY KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO BE EVICTED AND HAD AMPLE TIME TO MAKE ALTERNATIVE PLANS. This is a blatant act of someone willing disobeying a court order, but people think that is ok because they are old, boo hoo, they are not entitled to a free ride. That is whats wrong with this country….people expecting and feeling entitled to a free ride.

When I first heard this story, I wanted to reach for my check book. It is appalling and I am very glad that the Sheriffs’ deputies didn’t evict both the ladies in this house. I wanted to find out the address so I could find out how much they might owe to see if it was something that I could help with. The tax information shows that Kathelyn Cornelius sold the house to Ali S Muhammad for $129,500 on 11/15/2002. That’s a lot of money she was paid for her property, which Mr Muhammad allowed her and her sister to live in. He didn’t pay the mortgage and DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY TR bought the house back on 3/3/2009 for $17,000. This isn’t something that has happened out of the blue and I do have a hard time, knowing the facts, to see this as a scam and a cute cover for what amounts to theft. In this World, and in this age, you have to look beneath the illusory surface, even if it is a pair of sweet Grannies.

Would the bank evict anyone that is current on their mortgage? Who is breaking a promise here? The bank? Apparently the word of someone is not important in a world where no one takes personal responsibility and everything is equivocated. Lets make it personal If you work for any company (meaning you bring some worth to our country’s GDP), there are going to be accounts receivables due to your paycheck provider. If they don’t get paid, then someone, maybe you, stand to lose your job. Does that make you feel good? Did not think so.

The cops did the right thing. Who would throw a centurian out in the cold? The foreclosure was due to a refinance. When it went into foreclosure, they TRIED to pay back the bank, but was told it was too late. You can’t tell me something can’t be worked out. NOW due to all of the negative publicity, the bank wants to work with the family to resolve the problem and let the little lady finish out her life there. Something finally good from the media.

How I read it. the grandson is late on payments. not the grandlady. shame on her grandson. i hope he feels really bad, ifhe has any heart. our elderly are so volnerable. it’s too bad you can’t even rely on our own families.

The elderly lady probably let her grandson use her house as collateral for a loan and when he defaulted there went her home. Never trust family in money situations, they will bend you over every time. I’m glad Chase is letting them stay, they should be jailing the grandson though. They will just come take the house when it’s vacated. They have waited 3 years to foreclose they can wait a little longer.

I think something needs to be done about these cops for refusing to perform duties in which they’re legally obligated to perform. Nobody, 103 or not, should be allowed to live in a house on someone else’s dime. Why should Chase pay for this lady to live in a house for free? Still, the worse part is the cops refusing to do their jobs. The last time I checked, cops weren’t supposed to decide what laws were “just” as they are not qualified to make such a decision. They are merely here to enforce the law-whether they agree with it or not.

Hope someone lets her stay.
JP Morgan Chase hires Death Row Inmates that have been paroled, maybe they will show the same Mercy for her. The state picks up most of their salaries. Maybe they will be really charitable this Christmas. It’s in the hands of the Bankers.

Thank GOD for common sense!

You can’t discriminate for age when lending, why discriminate when foreclosing or evicting. The occupants don’t appear to be the owner or borrower so if the bank now owns the home, they don’t have a right to live in it. Businesses don’t give away free products just for PR. If you want the banks to go bust like Greece – keep on thinking it is ok to allow people to not make payments. See how the economy will be like then.

bottom line – if these 2 would have been kicked out that day, at least 1, if not both, would have died due to exposure. is a few dollars to a megacorporation worth it? they and the sheriff’s dept made a decision that shows even they can be human sometimes

This story is filtered too much, everywhere I read. The Sheriffs did not act only on impulse. They are good officers in that they followed protocol and contacted the chief of Fulton county sheriff’s office. The Movers waited for the answer also. After the chief was told of the condition he told the officers to stand down and discontinue the eviction process. The movers then saw the officers turn and walk back to their cruisers and they did the same and walked back to their truck. This situation was more than simply disobeying orders and needs to be told that way. All parties involved used compassion, common sense, and intelligence.

Remember that please!

Common sense people… If she’s lived in the house for 53 years, she likely paid it off at least once. My take is that the grandson was given control of the assets and took out another mortgage on the property. I think the bank made a good call here.

I have been praying for this lady and her daughter and for the grandson who most likely is the cause of this problem anyway…I too have an account with Chase and I am seriously thinking about closing my account because of this matter. I know that they got a lot of sympathy but for those who are able to work and are kicked out without any sympathy is sad too. But, they do have their good health and strength and can find some type of work if they just take the time to look. It’s the word of mouth and who you know that will get your foot in the door. God bless this family and I hope that things will get even better.

What if “the bank” was another family in need of the rent money to feed themselves. This woman is 103 which means she has had a solid 85 years to learn the law. While i do sympathize with the fact that she is bedridden, do not blame the bank as evil, where is her family? She loves this community but did any of them come to help her? She thanks god but what about the movers and police that refused to move her? This woman did not pay rent for who knows how long, if it were not the bank and it was another poor family that needed the money to survive would this be as much of a story? Is it fair that their are many families that are working their tails off to be able to get into housing, but they have to live on the street because their is not enough affordable housing available? Yet this woman gets to stay in her place rent free simply because she is old? I am sorry but that is total bull crap.

It’s NOT that this 103 year old lady is too old to get a job and pay off the mortgage, seeing how her house HAD ALREADY BEEN PAID OFF, it’s that a MEMBER of her OWN FAMILY took out a SECOND mortgage on HER home, and for WHATEVER reason, COULD NOT, or WOULD NOT, pay it off, FORCING the bank to ALMOST EVICT HER!!!!! Now WHAT kind of a FAMILY MEMBER DOES that to ANOTHER family member, HMMMMMM?!!!!!

This is not the bank’s fault. The bank doesn’t check ages before foreclosing and besides, the bank can’t discriminate against age. Before a home goes into foreclosure, there are many collection calls made to the customer. The bank would much rather work out a payment plan than take someone’s home, but sometimes the bank is left with no choice but foreclosure if a customer is non responsive or is unable/unwilling to make payments. I would place blame on the family member that put the 103 year old woman in this situation, not the bank.

Watching American Bandstand,then Soul Train on Saturday mornings and dancing like happy epileptics would be a great way to start the weekend….Singers needs to be those who are capable of doing with dignity.It could be best to have those who appeared on Soul Train during its peak years.
