Brilliant, thank you Jo.

Hollie - Sorry just saw your second comment. I would be honored and grateful if you did share that link. Thank you.

That's precisely what it demonstrates, though, in fairness, I suppose that they don't want to set a precedent whereby mortgage debtors just wait until a charity picks up the tab. I can't actually see that happening much though, can you?

Of course the banks want a desperate populace. They don't make money from consumerism. They make money from interest on debts and overdrafts.

Oh, Jo, would you mind if I added a link to this wizz on my charity hardship for single parents page? After reading the search terms, I'm pretty sure that some of those women who have found themselves in pretty dire situations might benefit from such a scheme.

because the banks added an affidavit saying that debts couldn't be written off, or householders had to be evict or some other nasty.

Doesn't that just go to show that they have a particularly sinister agenda? I mean, if it was just about getting rid of the debts off their books and passing the debts on, they shouldn't really care what happens to the debtors afterwards. I'm even more convinced now that the banks and big business want an increasingly desperate populace, so desperate in fact that they'll work for pennies.

Thank you very much. For all of my faults, I am now debt free. I just haven't got any money to get more! LOL

Well, thanks. I think so too, but then I'm very prejudiced...:-))

Too late for my house, but I still have student loans. (So much for MY higher income!) I'll post!

Border Collie's are such pretty dogs.

Such a beautiful day.

Publicity is going to be key with Rolling Jubilee. Other groups have tried and failed, because the banks added an affidavit saying that debts couldn't be written off, or householders had to be evict or some other nasty.

The banks try that with Occupy will have their underhand tactics all over Twitter and Facebook within seconds.

You are so right! Thanks for the input!

Me too. Mass action was definitely the order of the day! Bank..emm

Ooops! That was the actual point of this article! *face palms* I'm glad that you're on the ball. *goes to add that in*

Great article Jo, but one thing is missing: How can we participate (easy linky-link!)? ;-) Call to action needed!

I've been cheering them on since that mad morning in September, trying to get my story out before Occupy first took to the streets. Still indebted to Anonymous for that one. <3

And thanks for linking it wherever you will link it. E-mail to your bank?
