01/11: Anti-Foreclosure Hearing, Statehouse Room B1.
MAAPL:Massachusetts Alliance Against Predatory Lending
                    ~
Justice for Homeowners in Massachusetts! 

Noon: Speak-out for Justice
1:00 pm: Hearing, Room B-1


Joint Committee on the Judiciary will hear testimony on 4 important bills written by those of us fighting Massachusetts Foreclosures!

    * Stop unnecessary evictions: The banks should have to let former home-owners pay rent unless they have a reason to evict.

    * Mandatory mediation before foreclosure: Banks should have to provide someone authorized to negotiate with homeowners.

    * Judicial review: Victims of predatory home loans should have their day in court before foreclosure.

    * Banks should prove ownership before eviction: Give Housing Court power to make banks prove they own the property legally before eviction.

44,100 Massachusetts foreclosures since 2007 = 88,000 households threatened.
