Charise Brunelle hasn't added a story.
Here is an updated version of why we are seeking funds in 2015:
Because of the illegal foreclosure and illegal eviction on our credit
reports, we are unable to rent an apartment or house of our own. We
have been living in various people's homes since 2012. We have had no
guarantees in these arrangements, so the moment that the homeowner no
longer wishes to house us, we have to leave.
Hubby and I are entreprenuers, we had a home office and studio
in our townhouse. Since we were self-employed, that was how we earned
the bulk of our income. The loss of our townhouse has also meant a
major drop in our income. If it wasn't for husband's monthly military
pension check (he was a US Army Bandsman for 22 years) we
would be living on the streets. His entire check pays to keep a roof
over our heads (no one is allowing us to stay in their homes for
free), to pay for the storage units that hold the majority of our
belongings, and to keep food on the table.
We are in a Catch-22 situation. We need a home large enough for us to resume our home businesses. However, we need money in order to afford to pay rent for that home. Property management firms in California will not rent to people with foreclosures, evictions, and low credit scores on their credit reports. That is why pre-paying rent is the only way that we will be able to rent a new home.
Right now we are seeking $55,000 in order to relocate into a rental property. The funds would allow us to pay a year's worth of rent and related utility costs. During that year's time we will be able to fully resume our businesses, earn an income, and re-establish ourselves financially. We would be able to resume our lives, the one that was illegally taken from us in 2012.
We are still seeking justice in the court system for the
townhouse that we purchased in 2002 and had paid hundreds of thousands
dollars in mortgage payments towards by 2012. We need to earn money
in order to continue the court battle. And we need a home in order to
work and earn money for that battle.
Please note that this website does not give me the capabiity to
change the dollar amount of our campaign goal. That is why it doesn't
reflect the $55,000 that we are currently seeking.
This is the original version of the campaign we started two years ago:
To raise funds in order for the Brunelles (Doug & Charise) and
their cat (Daniel) to continue paying the attorney who is handling the
lawsuit the family filed against all parties involved with the illegal
foreclosure and sale of their home. They were illegally evicted from
their home on August 14, 2012.
The Brunelles are self-employed and worked with their clients
from their home office & home studio. The loss of their home has
also meant the loss of their income.
Prior to the Trustee Sale of their home in April 2012 the
Brunelles filed a quiet title lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court
against Bank of America, Fannie Mae, Green Tree Services, MERS, and
Northwest Trustee Services. The lawsuit challenged whether ANY OF
THESE ENTITIES had the legal authority to sell their home. Other
causes of action were also named in the lawsuit.
These legal questions arose because none of the entities named
in the lawsuit appear on the Deed of Trust or the Promissory Note that
was signed back in 2005. The lender for the loan, First National Bank
of Arizona, is no longer in existence. It was shut down by the FDIC in 2008.
All of the Defendants filed motions to either have the case
dismissed OR moved to a different court. Before the court could rule
on the merit of the case or any of the Defendant's motions, the
illegal trustee sale took place in April 2012.
In May 2012 an attorney for Fannie Mae filed an Unlawful
Detainer complaint in a California Superior Court against the
Brunelles. The court ruled in Fannie Mae's favor and the Brunelles
were illegally evicted from their home in August 2012.
In November 2012 the New York State Supreme Court ruled on one
of the Defendant's motions in the lawsuit filed by the Brunelles. The
court granted the motion that the case SHOULD BE TRIED IN A DIFFERENT
COURT, and that the case was dismissed WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
The Brunelles have filed an amended complaint with the court.
They have now included "Wrongful Foreclosure" as one of
their causes of action.
