Foreclosure 'Happy Hour' A Forum For Exchange Of War Stories For Homeowners Screwed Over By Illegal Bankster Take-Back Attempts

In West Palm Beach, Florida, TC Palm reports:
  • Several Treasure Coast residents scribbled the name “Linda Green” in black permanent marker on their temporary name tags at a recent happy hour gathering in West Palm Beach.
  • That name and others have become synonymous with the nationwide foreclosure robo-signing crisis that’s rocked the foundation of several major banks and mortgage lending institutions. Several foreclosure law firms and lenders have been accused of improperly preparing and filing foreclosure documents by allegedly bulk-signing names of bank employees on court documents, questioning the validity of past foreclosures and cases that are still in active litigation.
  • It’s one of the bonds shared by the half dozen Treasure Coast residents and 30 others from South Florida who meet monthly at what they call the Foreclosure Hamlet Happy Hour. Almost all attendees claim their foreclosure documents were robo-signed.
  • The banks created this fabricated propaganda that framed us like deadbeats. Irresponsible Americans that scammed the banks out of trillions of dollars by signing on loans we knew we couldn’t pay, ” said West Palm Beach activist and ForeclosureHamlet.org founder Lisa Epstein.
  • She and Michael Redman, founder of 4closurefraud.org started the group that plans to expand north and hopes to organize a Treasure Coast meeting soon.
