October 2nd, a Constable showed up at the home of Enver Cehic, a bricklayer
from Revere, Massachusetts. The Constable brought a 48-Hour Eviction Notice,
with a scheduled eviction on Thursday at 9:00AM. This notice was a shocking
surprise to Mr. Cehic's mother; they had NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE of a court date.
North Side Bank Tenants Association leaders went into Chelsea District Court
this morning to help Enver file a Motion to Stay of Levy Execution. The motion
will be heard Thursday morning at 9:00AM. Greater Boston Legal Services is
prepared with a righteous argument, but we need to go beyond that to show the
bank and the Court that THIS EVICTION IS JUST PLAIN WRONG! We will not let it
go on without a fight! Enver is in the process of buying his home back through
a non-profit lender. He is currently gainfully employed, and can afford the
house at its real value.</span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(34,34,34)">Mr. Cehic and his
family came to the United States as a refugee from the Balkan War. In 2003, he
bought a home in Revere for himself, his brother and elderly parents. They had finally found some stability after many years of turmoil. Due to the recession, the construction industry slowed down and Enver found
himself unemployed with a mortgage hanging over his head. He went to a law firm
that claimed to help homeowners in foreclosure. $5,000 later, Mr. Cehic got
nothing from these scammers, and was facing foreclosure. Despite intervention
by community leaders, Bank of America, who acquired the loan from Countrywide
(now notorious for their predatory lending practices), refused to modify his
loan or otherwise put off the auction.</span></p>

Fannie Mae, who was the investor in the loan, began eviction proceedings
against Enver Cehic and his family. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own the majority
of mortgages in the United States.They are owned by taxpayers, but serve the
big banks. People have lost their homes and are out on the street while the
banks profit from foreclosures and evictions. Fannie Mae refused to allow loan
modifications with Principal Reduction, even though Bank of America, who
services Enver's loan, has announced a Principal Reduction program. Their own
researchers have concluded that Principal Reduction is a viable solution to the
foreclosure crisis, but they insist on playing politics. This greedy bank has
opted to side with their banker friends and punish homeowners for a crisis that
started on Wall Street.</span></p>
