Chase Bank Sells Off Soldier’s Home Very Same Day He Returns From Iraq

Chase Bank Sells Off Soldier’s Home On The Very Same Day He Returns From Iraq

As ThinkProgress previously reported, Chase Bank had been planning to foreclose on the home of the family of Aaron Collette, who was serving in Iraq. Aaron’s father Tim had fallen on hard times following the recession, and the bank was refusing to work with the family to negotiate for new terms. After an intense pressure campaign from activists and Sen. Jeff Merkely (D-OR), the bank decided to delay the foreclosure past the original June date.

Yet when Aaron Collette returned home to the states this week for what should have been a warrior’s homecoming, he faced his father’s home that had been foreclosed on instead. On the very same day that Collette returned from Iraq, Chase sold the house back to itself during auction proceedings on the local courthouse’s steps. Local news station News 21 covered the event.

Despite the fact that Collette’s family will soon have to leave its home, they remain hopeful that they can help other people keep their residences. “We are going to continue to move forward, because there’s tens of thousands of more people who have not yet lost (their homes). And for those who have lost them, we might be able to try to get them back,” said Tim Collette.

Ironically, the day before the Collette family had their home sold off to the bank, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon bragged to Chase bank employees at a barbecue in Vancouver that his company was helping veterans keep their homes.

The only hurdle to accessing this is of course human limitations and the fact that the brain does not function solely as
a learning tool for the human being. Anna had been looking through my phone while I was naked.
The decline of the East side blues scene was disheartening,
but, it also gave rise to the need for a fresh start,
which came in the form of the next blues-only venue, Antone's, founded by the late Clifford Antone, during the summer of 1975.

The players would begin as members of the SCA, going
to Phoenix for the Estrella War. The game was released on August
3, and is in stores now, but probably is where it will remain,
sad to say. That is the new craze in on the internet gaming, and numerous girls
and teens are possessing a blast.

If your tween is into paint-ball you can take everyone to play paint-ball.

You make different challenges like scavenger hunts, food challenges, mazes and
races. The game would begin with them watching the collapse of society and the
outbreak of magic around the world.
