Myriam Munoz, Pacifica: HOME SAVED
Myriam Munoz, an ACCE member from Pacifica, CA, had been trying for 2 1/2 years to get Bank of America to approve her application for a loan modification. She sent in the application 3 different times.
Each time her application was rejected. Despite the fact that she has a good job at the Post Office and her husband works full time as a house painter, the bank said they didn't make enough income to qualify. Facing Foreclosure, Myriam saw ACCE members taking action on the nightly news to defend a member's house from foreclosure. She decided to call San Mateo County ACCE and see if they could help. ACCE members organized two actions on Bank of America demanding they give Myriam a loan modification. After some back and forth between her and the bank, Myriam was finally approved for a permanent affordable loan modification in October. "A lot of people helped me save my home including ACCE, NACA, Congresswoman Jackie Speier, Sen. Diane Feinstein and all of my friends and family who prayed for me. Thank God in the end we were able to save the house." said Myriam.
