This article states there are groups in North Carolina. I did not see any listings for North carolina?
Thank you for this information, this is what many people need right now to bond together and take a stance against fraud since our government officials are not doing anything about it. Our voices need to be heard, and a support group will strengthen this movement for justice and fairness. It’s time we took a stand and it’s time for pay back!
Please have someone join our hearing at the March 1 BK Sanctions hearing against Saxon and Ocwen if possible…
