Bye Bye Money

While I'm STILL waiting for ShitiMortgage to get it in gear (and the clock is STILL ticking, folks!) I'm just thinking about ALL the people's money that got flushed down the drain by the banking industry. Banks used to stand for trust and were "institutions" with buildings that usually looked like the classic Greco-Roman architecture of governmental type  buildings. Bank lobbies were grand and stank of security and reserve. CitiMortgage and its modern day counterparts are like a HUGE speeding train with no brakes. Hang on if you can. It's VERY easy to get shaken off and lost along the way. Banks to me now are like public restrooms. Some people are there to do business, but most people are there to try to get away with something they KNOW they shouldn't be doing. I hope it was worth flushing your image down the toilet, American banks. I hope you tip well at your country clubs and warm, tropical resorts you greedy money-sucking bastards!

ShitiMortgage Thinks Bush Is Still Handing Out Free Money For Social Irresponsibility

When I was blind-sided by a layoff from the company I had spent 6 years building from 200 customers to thousands: December 2004 (right before Christmas) with no severance

When I found a part-time job without benefits that aaaalmost paid enough every month: July 2005

Period of time when I struggled to cover all my payments every month on time: July 2005 to Sept 2008

When I realized I was headed toward financial insolvency due to plummeting property values and soaring gas prices: Oct 2008

When I applied to the ShitiMortgage Hardship Assistance Program by certified and return receipt mail: Nov 2008

When I reapplied by phone because no one called me about my first application: Jan 2009

When I started the ShitiMortgage Hardship Assistance Program: Feb 2009

When ShitiMortgage FIRST screwed up my account: Feb 2009

Late payments I made BEFORE Feb 2009: o (zero)

When ShitiMortgage threw me out of the ShitiMortgage Hardship Assistance Program due to late payments: April AND May 2009

Late payments SINCE Feb 2009: o (zero)

Total number of e-debits and canceled checks I have that show ShitiMortgage cashed my checks on or before my due date 100% on time or early: 5 (of 6 due so far)

Total pages of paper sent by mail between me and ShitiMortgage: 100+

Total HOURS on the phone: 8+ (@ my rate $25/hour=$200) That is like missing an entire day or work just to deal with the help from the ShitiMortgage Hardship Assistance Program

Total cellphone minutes used at PEAK rates: 480 - 53% of my monthly minutes

Total amount CitiMortgage got from government bailout: "Citibank accepted $45 billion in bailout money under the TARP program" (NY Times)

Mr. Obama and Mr. Geitner, CitiBank/CitiGroup is behaving like George W. Bush is still President. They are NOT showing social responsibility.  They are trying to steal my house.  Please help me! I have cancelled checks, signed documents from CitiMortgage, phone records, copies of letters to the Washington State Attorney General, and the name of EVERY CitiMortgage employee I spoke to over the 7 month (so far) ordeal trying to get help. CitiMortage's behavior in this doesn't fulfill your promises of accountability and transparency.
