Like many Americans, I have suffered hardship: cancer, a teenager with a newborn and no health insurance, and a 35 percent pay cut. Despite all this, I am within 100 dollars of making my payment. I have sold my car and shut off cable, life insurance, my cell phone and eating out. I have managed to have the county government reduce property taxes and cut all expenses to a minimum.
Since I am underwater by over 100,000, CitiMortgage refuses any help. They take delight in adding an 85.00 late charge, shutting off my online payment so I must pay an extra 15.00 to pay by phone, and continually telling me to short sell my home. They know the government will bail them out. I am not asking for anything other than fairness. I did not buy my home as an investment; I bought it to shelter my family.
The struggle has taken an enormous toll on my wife. Her blood pressure is through the roof, and the stress is tremendous. But I still fight on, and now it is personal. It's me against the bank, and it has the backing of Congress. I take my sister to chemo 120 miles one way once a week, stage four, but our fight against CitiMortgage fuels the fight against cancer.
Please, America, don't do business with these vultures. Bank with a local credit union, do not use direct deposit, and most of all pray for me. I need help, and my government has abandoned us. CitiMortgage wages its economic war, all in the name of jacking up service fees to put me further behind. Boycott CitiMortgage, and make them jump through hoops like they do my family. Hopefully they will collapse (unless the government gives them billions more!).
I am fighting a war against big government and Wall Street. I need your help. Call your congressman, do anything you can, and pray for me. I do not want a bailout, just a chance to save my home for my newborn grandchildren. I am all they have, and I am getting tired. Thank you and God bless you all.
