Evicted Family 'Occupies' Foreclosed Home

If you're going to stage an event like this, at least make sure that the people you're using as the poster-family have an otherwise spotless record - there are enough families like that out there, so use them instead!  If you don't, you've lost the 'hearts and minds' side of the battle before you even step onto the field.

When reporters asked about the particulars of her case, she wouldn't give any details, but a check of court records show that in November 2006, Gage took out a $525,000 adjustable rate mortgage that started at 11.99 percent.

Her first payment was due two months later, but she never made it. She didn't pay the next month, nor did she pay the following month.

Lawyers for the company that owns the mortgage told ABC7 Gage never made a payment, declared bankruptcy multiple times, filed a case in federal court and lost for failing to state a relevant claim.
