<div class="">Hello Susan,<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
I hope I find you well! <br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
I apologize that this is on such short notice, but I have been trying to make some change on a local and day-to-day level. If you spare 5 minutes of your time today or tomorrow (5/01 or 5/02,) I have a petition concerning a local and long-time Fort Braggian
named Bonnie Brayton. To make a very long story short, she is being financially abused. If nothing is done, Wells Fargo will be foreclosing on Bonnie's home on May 26th, 2017. I am trying to prevent that by proposing Wells Fargo modify a "30 due in 15" $95,191.61
balloon payment into incremental payments that Bonnie can make. She is very kind, generous and intellectual woman; the kind of lady you'd want to keep in her home so that she's in a position to bring help to those who need it and positive change to Fort Bragg.
If all goes well and she can stay in her home, her main goals are to 1) be a resource for victims of financial abuse, 2) rescue parrots (she already does that,) and 3) start a communal vegetable garden, potentially involving cooperation with the food bank.<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If this sounds like the type of lady you'd like to support, let me know. I'm doing this "by hand" because anyone can make an online petition these days, but it takes a lot of effort to get handwritten signatures. I plan on trying to certified-mail
this either today (Monday) or tomorrow. Give me a call, text or reply to this E-mail. (707) 671 4948. Let me know where I can meet you - I will go TO you to get more signatures on this petition. If you know of anyone else who would lend a signature to make
more impact, I'd just need to know where I can meet up with them.<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Wishing you the best,<br class="">

<div class="">Background information to further explain my petition and why it matters:<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
Bonnie is 60 years old. She inherited her property on Simpson Lane in 1999, moved there, and then added her (then) husband's name, Michael, to the deed in order to secure a $100,000.00 loan with Wells Fargo. They both signed the loan. It was their plan together
to fix up the property, live in Bonnie's family's house, and rent out the two smaller houses. (These are not large or lavish houses, and are quite old.) Michael spent 30% of the loan on his business (rather, he was using the loan money and not working his
business so it was failing,) and then quit his business to live off of the loan. 2008 rolls around and Michael wants a divorce, then leaves Bonnie with two unusable rental units, three macaw parrots, and the loan payments. Michael agreed, in writing, to make
the loan payments and refurbish the rental units. <br class="">
<br class="">
He didn't refurbish the rental units, and paid no significant amount on the loan. 8 years later, a court order to make the payments, a conviction on 14 counts of contempt for non-payment with an order to bring the loan current...and he hasn't paid anything
further. Wells Fargo proved in his bank statements that he could make these payments. One year later, the judge dismissed the second 14 contempt charges brought forward because Bonnie's representation didn't bring those Wells Fargo bank statements forward.
There are further details that, if I explained, would emphasize how dysfunctional the whole court situation has been in this case. Because the court didn't enforce their orders, Bonnie had to declare bankruptcy and pay off the arrears on the loan. She was
able to finally fix up the rental units and generate income to start paying off the loan. She's barely put a dent in it, but she's really trying. Unfortunately, the loan is a "30 due in 15," and the 30 is due on May 26th, 2017. I'm trying to petition to get
Wells Fargo to let Bonnie pay incrementally instead of make a huge balloon payment, and to let them know that foreclosure in Bonnie's case is inappropriate and unnecessary. The petition, along with a letter of appeal I've written, will be sent to Franklin
Codel,<font class="" size="2"> Senior Executive Vice President of Consumer Lending</font>.
<br class="">
<br class="">
Within the week, I'm also probably going to start a GoFundMe for her, after I give my support to Bones, Studio-Z and whoever else was a victim of the fire adjacent to Cafe del Mar.
<br class="">
<br class="">
Bonnie has already taken every typical and legal action afforded to California citizens in order to prevent foreclosure on her property and to try to get her ex-husband called out on his intentional negligence. Project Sanctuary has backed my claim of financial
abuse, and I'll be getting a written statement from Bonnie's counselor there. I'm taking the reigns on this one to try to save Bonnie from losing her home. Nobody deserves this, and I'm sick and tired of my good, hardworking friends losing their homes. Though
homelessness is not necessarily powerlessness, it certainly makes positive change much more difficult to accomplish.<br class="">
</div>
<br class="">
</div>
Bonnie's case is akin to the following larger campaigns:<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
1) Proving that financial abuse exists, and is prevalent in many divorce situations.<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
2) Foreclosure is a last resort, and that Wells Fargo and other banks should bother to work with their clients to keep them in their homes. This is especially true when the client is capable of continuing to make payments over time, but is held back by the
technicalities of the loan's structure and who signed the loan.<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
3) Shedding light on some situations with our local court that aren't right. Our justice here in town has done the following, and possibly more:<br class="">
- allowed abalone poachers to get away with breaking the law because they don't speak english and therefor don't know the law, and further:
<a href="http://www.mendocinobeacon.com/article/ZZ/20140417/NEWS/140418587" class="">
http://www.mendocinobeacon.com/article/ZZ/20140417/NEWS/140418587</a><br class="">
- did not enforce the restraining order against a local woman (who is known to be a drunk and a criminal) when she was committing elder abuse on my 90+ year old great aunt, Mae Johnson,<br class="">
- has also allowed this situation with Bonnie's ex-husband to go on to the point that Bonnie's property is now being foreclosed on. Judges in Ukiah and neighboring counties, from what I hear, would have probably thrown Michael in jail or at least done something
besides wag a finger at him and give him orders he can ignore. This case has been open for at least 6 years!<br class="">
