5. They are still holding off this foreclosure it seems from the FB page.

Activists gathered today at Barber's home.

They were joined by a very interesting guest. Her name is Lynn Szymoniak. She was the woman who uncovered the massive fraud known as robo-signing after her own home was wrongfully foreclosed on. The bank had claimed they could not find her paperwork and moved ahead with the foreclosure.

One year later they 'found' the paper work. Unfortunately for them she was a lawyer, and began to do some investigating on her own. She discovered that thousands of documents had been signed by one person and eventually tracked that person to a 'document mill'. There she found low wage workers signing documents using the name she had seen on so many documents.

She then became part of a major lawsuit against five major banks involved. That suit was settled for $25 billion earlier this year. SHE received $18,000,000 for her part in uncovering the fraud and for her part in the lawsuit. Sometimes when they fight back, the 99% do win! That was one incredible victory!

She read about Ms Barber's situation re foreclosure and did some research into HER situation. She contacted Ms Barber to let her know that she believes that there is also fraud in her foreclosure documents.

Today she met at Ms Barber's home with other activists. It looks like this home may be saved now as I'm sure the documents are about to be challenged.

Famed Whistle Blower Lynn Szymoniak Exposes Major Fraud In Jacqueline Barber's Foreclosure



On Wednesday, October 17, Lynn Szymoniak will visit Jacqueline Barber at her Fayetteville home to offer her support.

On Wednesday we will have poster sized title assignments and expose the clear fraud is Ms. Barber's case. Supporters including former APD co-workers will be present as an eviction could still happen any day.

The American Friends Service Committee is excited to be one the ground providing resources and building capacity around Jacqueline Barber's campaign and the growing housing justice movement. More and more we are seeing folks that haven't been engaged in grassroots organizing get involved and longtime organizers and organizations take on housing campaign initiated by Occupy Our Homes ATL.


This is so exciting. To see all these people coming together to help each other. Lynn won her war with the banks, even though she last the first battle and could have simply gone on with here life. Instead she chose to help another victim of this travesty by the banks.

I will try to keep up with this developing story ....
