Gail McNeil came out to testify before the County Commission because she doesn't want anyone else to go through what she's suffered. |
Former auto worker Gail McNeil is "one of tens of thousands of homeowners in Wayne County alone caught up in the foreclosure crisis. She says she did everything she could to save her house.
"'Relentlessly, I think I've explored every avenue possibly given,' said McNeil.
"Before leaving town, McNeil shared her story with members of the Wayne County Commission at a hearing to fight foreclosures.
"McNeil says she hopes to return to Detroit someday, and she hopes this effort will help other people in the future."

More about this street protest
Hurricane Fannie Mae
An Unnatural Disaster.
"Fannie Mae" is the giant company that buys mortgages from banks and sells them to Wall Street investors. The U.S. government took over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, another mortgage company, in 2008. They now oversee millions of foreclosures, and pay off Wall Street and the servicing banks at taxpayer expense.
On May 20, 2013, we held a People's Hearing at UAW Local 600 in Dearborn, where we testified to the fraud and predatory practices that drive people from their homes. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had promised for months to be there, but at the last minute they backed out.
