Bank Hired Deputies and Movers Refuse To Evict 103-year-old Woman [VIDEO]
Vita Lee, 103, has shared her northwest Atlanta home with her 83-year-old daughter for 53 years.
Deutsche Bank planned to evict the women Tuesday, but the movers and Fulton County sheriff’s deputies sent to the home did not remove them, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Lee, whose 104th birthday is three weeks away, told Channel 2 that she was not worried about being kicked out of her Penelope Road home.
“No, I knew that they know what they were doing. God don’t let them do wrong,” she said.
The situation seemed to affect Lee’s daughter, who was rushed to the hospital Tuesday, Channel 2 said.
The legal fight over eviction started in 2009 and stems from a second mortgage taken out years ago by another family member, the report said. Lee hopes a deal can be reached so she can remain in her home.
“I love it. It’s a mansion,” she said.
This is a damn shame. There are so many Blacks with money who can help this lady out. Let’s come together and help her save her home. Some Black people are pitiful
Where TF is Oprah now?!?!?!?
The banks have no shame. Take you $ out people and open a bank acct at the credit union. The banks got a federal bailout in the billions and did nothing to help people with mortgage problems while enriching themselves with fed $.
The Credit Unions are full of shit too. What black americans need to do is start trusting each other with our money and we don’t need no banks or any credit union. Other races when they come to this country they don’t go to anybanks or credit Unions., they have family and friends who come up with the money and help out to start something. I seen these action personally over-seas. We as a race need to stop being greedy, start educating our families, neighbors and love ones about money and also support Africa too. They still our brothas and sistas. We as African Americans spend at least a trillion of dollars every year to support other races of merchants and their products and especially Black friday and Cyber Monday, In a matter of fact we need to boycott that name Black Friday and tell merchants to change it. I’m not trying to be rude but how come it’s not called White friday, Green friday , Yellow friday, Brown friday? Yall get my drift something is wrong. ” Check! ” So in closing I love how that woman smile at the end of the story. God bless her soul. Everything will be alright. God Bless the Child That Got Their Own! (Billy holiday) “Check!”
I do not know where you live but I live in Chicago. The Asians have their banks, the polish has their banks, the Mexicans have their banks and Black people have theirs.
I WANT TO HELP……can you give me information about this and I want to help…..
TAKE YOU MONEY OUT OF THESE BANKS…..I JUST OPEN AN account at A credit union……
PLEASE LETS ALL HELP THIS LADY……even if it is a dollar…if everybody pitch in a dollar or even more…we can help her….
Send me Bank information and I will send something in……
where the fuck are our celebs and elite at huh tyler perry oprah????!!!!
Amen!
why does Oprah or Tyler perry have to pay your bills, because there black, Im sorry I don’t understand.
Please explain it to me like Im a two year old.
We must achieve, but to what end?
The Sheriffs, All US Policing Agencies, Politicians, Banks, Wall Street, Anglo-elite, Jewish Aristocrats, and finally African-American (traitorous)”leaders”. Name your poison! We are caught up in such deep corruption secrets, deception, and lies that even many of us cannot see the light of day. How did it all begin and who planned it? I honestly believe we could follow the chain of events and connect the dots all the way back to Great Britain and the lies we have been born to believe. It is important that education be limited and misguided. It is important that religious belief is in-steeled in our psyche. It is important that people forget what they should remember and that we should all just keep trying to achieve, but to what end?
I so agree. People with a lot of money are not living in the real world. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I know I would help a lot of people because we all need help. America’s priorites are screwed up. When you pay a teacher $25,000/yr. & pay a ballplayer $80 million/yr., something is definitely wrong. Then when you take into account all the stealing, thievery, fraud, etc., within the political community, all we can do is shake our head. These freakin banks have been out of control for a long time & now its out. Now they’re trying to steal as much as they can before the revolution really gets underway & you know the revolution will not be televised.
Don’t take this woman’s home. At 103 years old, she deserves to continue living in her home. If another family member took out a second mortgage on her home, it is not her fault. I also agree with the comment above. Athletes are overpaid and most don’t know what to do with he money anyway. How many cars can you drive at one time – ONE!!!
Jesus is color blind………Most people are in their dilemma because they don’t know Jesus and some that know him have little faith in him……..I believe this senior knows Jesus I can tell by her demeanor…..God can and will overcome these earthly facades…God will help this Lady…He didn’t keep her here 103 years to forsake her…….
Every Americans should take all their money out of these robber baron banks….Put your money in the small banks and credit unions…They have always been friendly toward the little guys. Americans wake up and see the lights….
Amen:) God is on her side and Ms. Lee will not be move:) God is before her who could be against her, I truly believe Ms. Lee will keep her home, and she is in my prayer and I pray her daughter will be alright. ” Prayer Changes Things”
Pray with no action is idle words.
Not everybody giving our money to these banks or credit unions is not the way to go. What we need to do is form our own situation and stop putting our money in these insitutions that don’t support our dreams and communities. Did you know that for every dollar you put in the banks or credit unions the banks/Credit Unions makes 9 dollars. And they use these dollars and loan your money to somebody else so basically just to let everybody know if somebody is using your money and you tell them to hold it for you and soon you find out that they are using your money to create wealth but your not getting any thing but a raise of a percent or 1 cent in saving then that should tell you something , they don’t respect you or your money. I’m just dropping this Knowledge. Check!
Your comment is total incorrect, the bank pays the Fed close to nothing to borrow short term money to lend on, here is a question if you were a depositor in the bank that holds the mortgage on this house, what would you tell the bank forget it let her live there and also keep my money you don’t have to pay me my money back until she pays you back, Bull shit you would be the loudest one screaming give me my money give me my money, what kind advise are you giving telling people not to put there money in banks, no lets all give it to you seeing were you know so much, no depositor has lots not a penny of there money in a bank that went out of business the government sees to that
You follow Me? Check! Straight Boule is doing the dirty work behind close doors for years to control masses of African/black-Americans. You want to know how they do these things they bring in always a Rev. / Preacher to tell you negros to calm down, be quite, Uncle Chuck will save you.
At the risk of sounding insensitive, what was the bank doing wrong?
If you have to ask, you’re an insensitive jerk.
I know Im not a Jerk also, please tell me what the bank should do, they lent her the money now she does want to pay it back, let me tell you this, I know banking and there in no way a manger would send out all these people to evict this very nice old black woman, were not being told the whole story her, there is a $60,000 Mercedes car on the lawn of the house who’s car is that, So please tell me what would you do if I deposited money in your bank and you lent it to this woman , and some day soon I need my money back what would you do pray to lord the money will appear. ( I think your reply to the person who commented that there a jerk was wrong)
David JB, Really Really!!!!!
Stealing from you and everybody else you know. Check!
The Bank did nothing wrong, and the story a relative borrowed the money is bull, come on save the corn for the cook out will you please, I have a paper cut do i have to pay my mortgage, some people wrote were is Oprah, what does Oprah have to do with this, because she is black she must help black people, black people have more racist in them then any other race, I don’t think she should have to leave, but what should be done, I hope this lady lives until she is 200 but what happens in 5 or 7 years when her daughter is 90, does the bank not evict her also because she is an old woman, this is happening all over the country to all kinds white black and brown, this has been going on since 2009 people need to take responsibility for there actions, what’s the deal with the Mercedes parked on the lawn who’s car is that, I grew up in the projects on welfare, when I drive through the projects now the cars parked in the lots are better then mine, and I drive a nice car,
U R SOOOOOOO RIGHT SANDRA SMITH , MR. DAVIS DO U KNOW WHO THE CAR BELONGED TO? AND U R INSENSTIVE; COULD BE U NEXT OR SOMEONE IN UR FAMILY; AND IF I CAME INTO A LOT OF MONEY I WOULD BURY IT IN MY BACK YARD EXCEPT FOR WHAT I WOULD USE TO HELP PEOPLE ;U MUST BE A BANKER. AND WHO R U TO JUDGE; U PROBADLY TRY TO RUN OVER HOMELESS PEOPLE; OR WOULD RATHER THROW UR OLD CLOTHES IN THE DUMPTER THAN TO GIVE THEM TO SOMEONE WHO NEEDS THEM; THE WORLD REALLY NEEDS PEOPLE LIKE BUT NOT THIS WORLD,THEY JUST DISCOVERED SOME NEW PLANETS; THEY NEED PEOPLE TO INHABIT THE PLANETS WHY DON’T U BE ONE OF THE FIRST; BECAUSE U R IN YOU OWNNNNNN WOOOORRLLLDDDDDDDD!
Silly people….what in thee, yes I said thee hell does Oprah and Tyler Perry have to do with this???? Silly comments. The very people who mentioned these people probably are ones who always do a blame game. Oprah, Tyler and others DO NOT owe us a darn thing! They work hard for what they have and did I mention its THEIR money?! I’m sure you have not done your research on how much they have given ALREADY!! Not to mention to silent donations of money the give and share all the time!! Oprah and Tyler has nothing to do with this you silly rabbitts!!!!!! Go figure!
LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!
THATS RIGHT LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!!!!
@david jb: idk…i cant be sure that the son who took out the mortgage actually had poa. But even in the event that he did there is a thing called honor. When this woman purchased the home payin off the balance she established a history of credit. She needed a home she bought it. And according to she apparently had no other mortgages after that. That the bank didnt consider why a 100 year old woman would need a second mortgage just seems typical of the unethical lending practices/scams(no credit checks..unconfirmed income) that has ravaged americans. The minute her son walked into the bank to secure the loan the account should hve been flagged. When the first payment was missed action should have been taken against the son and not the mother. Sure the bank is acting within their legal rights but they are ethically and morally negligent.
idk bt its just wrong says–YOU ARE 100% RIGHT!!!
This country IS IN TROUBLE!!!! What happen to CARING? What happened to the hearts of people. I know America is all about money, I am so GLAD that the sheriffs and movers still have loving/careing hearts. SHAME ON THE GREED OF THE BANKS. I told my monies out of Chase and put into a credit union. I AM TOTALLY SICK OF GREED IN AMERICA. Let us ALL do the same and stand for our rights!! iM JUST SAYIN PEACE.
omg!!! shame on the family member who left those women in that position AND shame on the bank for allowing it to happen (like the other poster said)!! ..but God bless the parents who raised the officer and movers w/ the ability to discern right from wrong and the courage to put it into action!!!
The IRS & banking institutions are nothing more than “legalized” extortionists & loan sharks run by the “powers that be”
What the bank and police were supposed to do is go after the son (who as I recall that is who took out the loan illegally) for fraud. He should be in jail, an insurance claim should have been filed, and the woman should not be evicted. That son should be in prison. Oprah should not be called on to save her, its not her job to save every person wronged by their own family! But really, the law should be after that son instead of punishing the mother for what HE DID. Glad these men have a sense of decency.
How do you know it’s her son who took out the loan, the story said a family member:) Wow! you must know what’s going on here, are you close to the family?
We know that the busta brotha did wrong he should pay for it oneday but lets not wish jail on anybody . it’s the banks that is wrong. The ball is in their court.
Am I reading your comment correctly your writing that even if the family member did do wrong, that he shouldn’t go to jail, that the bank should pay because there wrong..
Lets see the bank would be wrong if they didn’t lend the money, now there wrong because they did lend the money, if there was a fraud which i will bet there wasn’t, because they said this has been going on for close to three years, the bank would have removed the lean if they lent money to some that didn’t own the home, were not being told the fully story there is a lot missing, like the $60,000 Mercedes car on the lawn who’s car is that. Or am i wrong for even commenting on that, i mean the mother or the daughter do have to get a around why not in a $60,000 benz, right,
do you know for sure this family member took the money illegal,
My heart goes out 2 ms.lee. We have 2 do better in life not only for the elderly but the younger generation as well, stay in your kids life & let them know that god loves us all.In the words of 2pac they don’t give a fuck about (US).13
Check!
Did i see a $60,000 car on the lawn who’s car is that, she has no right to ask not to be evicted, and the bank has no right to ok we wont, there are investors in that bank and thats there money she spent, Im not saying she needs to go but, this has been going on since 2009 this is no shock to them. She looks pretty good for 104 years old, Id like to see that birth, cert.. if were all equal in this life, then she should get no preferred treatment, her community should get together and raise the money to help this woman, not one person, this is about right and wrong and helping out your community, they borrowed money and didn’t pay it back now there in the wrong, so the community needs to step up, not the bank, they need there money bank.
I really wish that I had the means to help these poor women. It is just a shame that there is NO ONE out there who can make sure that these ladies do not lose their home. God will bless and look after them.
@ John d, don’t know what you are or where you from, but at 104 yrs young this woman has seen and endured more hell in this country than any of you who rode over on the decks of ships and not in the belly could or would ever endure, No black person over 99 yrs old in this country should ever have to pay a dime for the basic needs required to live out the rest of their lives happily. Blacks have done all the leg and hard work in this country and have never been compinsated for it. She may have breast feed your mother or father, you slaves had to do that sometimes. Blacks have always had to pay 10 times more than whites that way the banks could give white the freebies (credit card) buy houses that they never pay for. Bankruptcy good for whites, bad for Blacks, Rent to own, pay day loans created for Blacks by the Banks. But don’t be fooled these places are owned by BANKS . That way they can charge 32 to 75 % interest and not worry about being bought up on criminal charges. Loan Sharkin was illigal, what happened did you vote it in? I bet you would’ve pulled the woman out of bed and toke her to the homeless shelter right John. That’s why you have more homeless people in this country but you can’t find a homeless ( stray )dog or cat. Dammmmmmn only in the USA
THANK U THANK U THANK U FOR TELLING JOHN DUMMY DAVIS THE TRUTH, I’AM WONDERING IS HE A REAL PERSON
You want to know where the celebrities and other people that have money, such as Oprah are at a time like this? Well, they are certainly not sitting on their asses, reading every article that appears on the INTERNET, and certainly not sitting around discussing, and complaining about what someone else should do with their own damn money. Some of you stupid ass people, actually believe others owe you something, and you want to tell anyone that ‘s Black, and have some money, what they should be doing with it. Why don’t you lazy ass idiots, get off your damn behinds, and go earn your own money, and let’s see then if you’d let some jackass tell you what to do with it. Yes, this is certainly a sad case, and I would surely give some help to these old women, but neither Oprah, Tyler Perry, or anyone else is obligated to come to the aid of every Tom, Dick, and Mary. The only people responsible for this action, is the bank, who are foreclosing on these elderly people.
Well said! Well said! I so totally agree! O my goodness damn idiots!
This is shameful. I am so happy that someone had the DECENCY not to put this lady and her daughter on the streets. I am, however, concerned about how the situation came to this point. SURELY, there is a responsible, niece, cousin, auntie, son, nephew or uncle somewhere that had enough common sense to not let this happen. The second mortgage was taken out and it has to be repaid. In the black community we have always relied on FAMILY, blood relatives, extended family and close friends. I feel that this was FAMILY’s responsibility, not Oprah or Tyler, they can’t work to take care of the African American community. We are not ENTITLED to anything; everything you accomplish, purchase or obtain, has to be through sacrifice and work. This is what we don’t understand. It is not easy.
