Newton Co. Resident Moves Back Into Home After Wrongful Eviction, Faces Imminent Second Eviction
WHO: Eddie Jones, wrongfully evicted Newton Co. resident; Occupy Our Homes, Atlanta; Cynthia McKinney, former GA congresswoman
WHAT: Occupy Our Homes, Atlanta and former congresswoman Cynthia McKinney to hold press conference outside home of Eddie Jones, a Newton county resident who resisted eviction by moving back into his home and who now faces an imminent second eviction.
WHEN: Monday, May 21, at 10:30AM
WHERE: 75 Harvey Ave., Covington, Georgia 30016
WHY: Newton County resident Eddie Jones was illegally evicted on Thursday, May 17th. Instead of just rolling over and letting his house get taken away like so many other Americans, Eddie decided to fight back. Eddie got a few friends together and did something very few have been brave enough to do—he moved back into his home.
This past Saturday, Sheriff’s deputies showed up
at Eddie’s home to evict him. After allowing Eddie to show them
paperwork that proves his foreclosure--and therefore eviction--is
wrongful, the
officers decided to leave and give Jones until Monday, May 21st, to
vacate his home.
Occupy Our Homes, Atlanta plans to stand with
Eddie Jones and Cynthia McKinney as he faces possible eviction for the second
time.
More
on Eddie Jones’s fight to save his home:
Mr. Jones’s home was fraudulently obtained
by Fannie Mae through MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems), which
was deemed by Courts throughout the country as not having any ownership
interest in any mortgage.
Mr. Jones has a case pending before Newton County
Court, #2012978-5.
Mr. Jones has a copy of the MERS transfer of the property to the evicting party, Fannie Mae, which is under a cloud of legal suspicion and may not have standing in Georgia Courts.
Mr. Jones suffered from a car wreck in 2008 and
missed three payments on his mortgage, which caused him to spiral into
foreclosure. He applied for the Making Home Affordable program and was
accepted. After making three payments in full and on time Mr. Jones was mysteriously dropped from the program. His home was then transferred over the
internet via MERS from Litton Loan Servicing to Fannie Mae.
Mr. Jones owes nothing on his loan, his deed is free and clear.
