LAS VEGAS -- A man fighting cancer has been evicted from his home, KVVU-TV in Las Vegas reported.
When Jeff Martinez was diagnosed with colon and liver cancers, he knew he was in for the fight of his life.
Not only was he facing grueling treatments, but he knew he would have to continue working 40 hours a week to have a shot at staying in his home.
He did everything he could, but last week, Martinez, a man in his 30s, his wife and two children were evicted.
He said his house was mortgaged though Citibank, and while he tried to explain his situation to the mortgage handlers, he got nowhere.
To the bank, he said, he was just another name and number, not a person trying to provide for his family and fight the cancers that had invaded his body.
Doctors discovered Martinez’s cancers in 2007 after he complained of chest pains and intestinal problems. Since then, as the medical bills piled up, the colon cancer advanced to stage 4 and spread to his lungs and adrenal glands.

Wow, I feel bad for the guy....sad to say this article is soon to be commonplace as more and more folks with special conditions lose the roof over their heads
ReplyDeleteChuckles would never chuckle at this
Oh God!!! Is it time to hang bankers yet?? How much more of this BS can we take?? Can the bankers ever have enough? Do they want our children and our souls too??
ReplyDeleteSome day soon (i hope) there will be a reckoning with these greedy SOBs!!!
When are the Sheriff's going to say enough and stop being the bag-men for the banksters? What kind of monster would enforce an order to throw this man and his family out of their home?
ReplyDeleteThey need to decide who they serve: the people or the banks.
FASCISM is like that ...
ReplyDeleteeverything is for the CORPORATION
people are just things to be used
and tossed away in the trash
Does anyone honestly expect any kind of human decency or compassion from the banks? Do you really think they care about the little people? Once you cease to be a stream of revenue to them, you are nothing more than garbage, fit only to be kicked to the curb....
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the family of the Sheriffs deputy who threw this family out of their home is very proud of him. I'm sure they brag that their son is a law enforcement officer. The truth is he is the enforcer for the banks.
ReplyDeleteThat is bad luck and no ones fault. The idea the a business transaction should bend to a persons bad luck is lunacy. We need sanity to return to this process.
ReplyDeleteSorry fellas the banker have no blame in this one.
What kind of crackpot visit this site. The guy should reach out to his friends or church but the idea that the bank or sheriff or anyone else is acting improperly is nonsense. If you disagree you are not part of the solution to what ailes this economy. The banks are guilt of plenty but not on this one. A deal is a deal, unless the bank caused the cancer then we have a different deal.
ReplyDelete2:18 A deal was with GM too. Did they get bailed out? Yup. Don't know where your brain is..probably up your ass?
ReplyDeletePerhaps only the big companies should get bailed out and the "small guys" should just get curbed and fried..welcome to the Republic of Hell..
The owner of the company you work for tells you he is fighting cancer, henceforth there will be no more paychecks due to his illness.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to continue working for the company without pay? No difference. Let's not get caught up in the hype and emotion.
My sincere prayers go out to this man and his family. I do hope he has a support network to help him with this battle.
"The banks are guilt of plenty but not on this one. A deal is a deal, unless the bank caused the cancer then we have a different deal."
ReplyDeletePerhaps you forget, but banks were given BILLIONS in taxpayer $ for bailouts. Part of the 'deal' was that they were supposed to provide loan modifications to help unfortunate people stay in their homes. They should have helped in a case like this. They could have easily suspended or reduced his payments. Now Las Vegas has one more vacant house to add to the growing blight.
Lets talk about the bleeding heart banks. Billions in bailouts and they still cant work with INDIVIDUAL people? Please, they already got paid by this guys future grandchildren that he probably will never even get to meet. Fuck the banks and all that support them.
ReplyDeletethank god for those harvard white shoe boys
ReplyDeletewith clean fingernails
let the cops be thier got to puppets and carry out the gestapo tactics
how that hope and change working out
not that i like the other
jockeler idiot cowboy
I read this postings everyday and I am amazed.
ReplyDeleteI just returned to Sweden after having spent some 7 years in Florida.
From what i have learned, Sweden is a paradise if you compare healthcare, forget about the weather, it sucks here.
But seriousely, in Sweden, no one has ever in modern time lost his house because of illness. Healtcare is close to free for the unlucky ones that gets sick. Everbody pays for this of course via taxes, they are high, sure but considdering the other option, I prefer this. While living in FL I could not afford healthinsureance from time to time. Daughter slipped and fell on kitchenfloor, ambulance came, ER and so forth. Bill was around 5-7k, cant remember but it is not important. Here in Sweden, same thing would have been around 50 dollars, and for that money, I would get a new heart as well if needeed.
Wish you all the best and hope you get a better system soon
3:01 you are full of it.

Sounds fun.
3:15, America did not win WW1, we really had no need to even be there nor did we play a major role. But do I agree that people have brought this upon themselves. Look at how we all complain about the lack of values we have these days and yet we sit and watch Lady Gaga's disgusting music videos, Flavor Flav, or Family Guy like dead fish while drinking soda and shoving donuts down our throats.
3:15, I think you meant to say WWII.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100%!
Many of you emotional thinkers are missing the point. The banks should not have been bailed out. So now what? Lets trash the whole frame work that built our society?
ReplyDeletePersonal responsibility is the bedrock, the foundation that got us here. IF we do not return to it no one can say where we will end up. Cleary some of you are looking for anarchy. I am not.
Citibank is just an evil bank who also screwed me and i will never deal with them again.
ReplyDeleterevoultuion on;y 20 percent of americans wanted it
ReplyDeletethe torres moved to canada
also the depression thousnads died
also world war one the troops were promised money
and patton and mcarther dieperssed the troops and killed some
as for whineing about rich
i am rich but unlike bill gates and warren buffet scumbags
i think americans are the greatest people and need love and help
not open borders and critcism
why dont they move to china and india they love it so much
especially after they start ww3
just like people went to russia in the 1930s
from america
then got killed by the german hoard
in other words i think they are traitors
plane and simple it aint because they are rich
they sold out america with a smile and a bs line
as for illegals i cant stand our policy
but they are hard working most good people
god bless america
but i think like the gulf god got us back
we started a war in a gulf far away
and know we got it in the a$z in our gulf
ripleys believe it or not
we are all gods children
only he is the judge whats real and whats a lie
as christ declared to ponties pilate
who are you?
i am the truth!
figure it out
ReplyDeletewe went far away for oil
well look jesus just put it in the gulf for you
all the oil we want
i dont know whats right or wrong here so many lies
just seems odd doesnt it?
Personal responsibility is the bedrock, the foundation that got us here. IF we do not return to it no one can say where we will end up. Cleary some of you are looking for anarchy. I am not.
ReplyDeleteanarchy huh?
one guy with cancer isnt bringing down america
now go look in the mirror and slap yourself dummy.

ReplyDeleteSweden here again.
ReplyDeleteWell, Swedish healtcare is far from perfect and yes, you might have to wait etc etc.
Luckily, I am not educated how it works in detail since I have not been sick.
The point I am trying to make is that you dont see sick people on the streets, you wont lose your home if you get sick, you wont lose your work, you get sickpay while you are sick that you can actually live a decent life on. If you get sick in the US, the first worry is cost, here it is about getting well since you have no worries what so ever about the cost.
Btw, education is almost free as well.
Dont get me wrong here, I miss Floridas weather and people real bad, every day actually but at the same time, I realize you can not live out from that only.
Before I left, I was employed in the Yachting busines in case someone wonders and I was not any illegal alien, i hold a US greencard but now I am thinkingof trashing it, especiall after the BP dissaster. There are more places on earth with good weather and nice people if I can not take the weather here anymore, but in my heart, I still love Florida and its people, all the ones I met were supernice to my family.
Once again, wish you all the best everybody

ReplyDeletedo you really believe the sheriffs are going to sit there and not follow orders? who's going to play Nuremberg trials with them re: just following orders.
ReplyDeletePls get real.
You have the power. Pay cash. Close Citi and all bank accounts. Do not use their checking or savings or other services. No matter what bank. Start sending a message to the "havahd, princeton and Yale" boys that Celente bemoans. Otherwise just prepare to die like they want you to do.
Hey 3:01, you're 100% right.
ReplyDeleteHey Mr. Martinez, have you seen a naturopath yet? Please try, you have nothing to lose.
Mr. Martinez, Please don't let the breast-fed CEOs of the banks get you down. You as a taxpayer had to bail them out and now they are playing hardball with you.
Best of Luck.
I think you mean Iraq, but yes you are 100% correct. This empire has a disgusting history from day one. Fortunately, for our society, the psychology that we are always good and the other people are always bad keeps this bullshit going on for now. But the fall of the Empire is coming.
ReplyDeleteThe elite of their time engineered this Empire for a purpose and they will end it.
ReplyDeleteJust like they engineered Marxism and the USSR (Karl just put his sig on it) in order to keep to their promise of destroying the Csar of Russia who stood up against their NWO plotting.
The proud people of the USSR never thought a collapse could ever be a reality and neither do the sheeple masses of this empire.
What we (mis)belief as a nation, who we call our enemies, are all SCRIPTED. We are non-thinking drones. We are a thug Empire now. The only thing we can do better than anyone else is start wars and oppress the innocent via propaganda.
my friend's almost finish paying off his $400,000 home. he owes only $70,000 left. unfortunately he lost his job so he couldn't continue to pay the mortgage. he calls up the bank and says his friend willing to take over the mortgage and pay the remaining $70,000 if the bank willing to transfer the title to him. the bank says no. so the bank is taking the house. no law is broken here but this is pure greed.
ReplyDeleteHey 7:04, I did mean Iraq(shit-eating grin).
ReplyDeleteI am glad we're on the same wavelength on the issues.
WHat everyone is forgetting is that the money doesn't belong to the banks and they have a fudiciary responsibility to the investor to follow the laws and the contracts. This isn't about greed! Your/my retirement fund is probably invested in this way and we don't expect the money managers to give our money away. It is not greed to expect both parties in a contract to live up to the contract.

we are so screwed
Hey 7:24, your friend should call up the TV stations, radio stations, and start a blog about this.
ReplyDeleteA little sunlight might disinfect it.
In las vegas the constable is responsible for kicking people out of their homes. My understanding is that this is a different office than the regular cops.
ReplyDeleteHERE IS THE PROBLEM. PEOPLE "BUY" REAL ESTATE AND THEY MENTALLY THINK IT IS THEIRS. REALITY CHECK: YOU ARE JUST AN EXPENSIVE RENTER UNTIL THE DEED IS IN YOUR HANDS AND THE DEBT PAID OFF. UNTIL THE DEED IS IN YOUR HANDS, ANY FINANCIAL CRISIS CAN GET YOU TOSSED OUT ON THE STREET JUST LIKE AN APARTMENT DWELLER. EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE DEED AND ARE MORTGAGE FREE, YOU WILL STILL LOSE THE REAL ESTATE TO THE GOVERNMENT VIA MISSED PROPERTY TAXES DUE TO FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. TRUTH: REAL ESTATE IS NEVER REALLY "YOURS".
ReplyDeleteWAKE UP TO THE GAME PEOPLE!!!
GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN YOU REALLY OWNED YOUR LAND. ALL LAND IS OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT OR BANKS.
how do you "own" land? the earth owns us
ReplyDeleteU got it 11:29.
ReplyDeleteI said that a few times on other sites, and got back some silly ass response from some fool said something about rendering to Cesar that is Cesar's. weird people out there.
If I ever am able to sell my "owned home" for the right price, I'm gona get a use trailer home, yeah they still make you pay tax, but at least its less and it actually goes down as it
Its pretty much the same with any items that are required to be registered, like personal property tax on vehicles, own your car out right and don't pay the personal prop tax and see who "owns" it.
ReplyDeletesometimes encountered a terrible delusion, which can knock down a path of truth is not too sophisticated reader. It's sad
