Tierney Fights to Protect Servicemembers from Illegal Foreclosures

Washington, DC – July 14, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — During this morning’s Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing, Congressman John Tierney, Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on National Security, called on Chairman Darrell Issa to refocus his attention on efforts to protect our servicemembers from illegal foreclosures, rather than standing up for the big banks responsible for these egregious actions. He also entered into the record a report compiled by the Democratic staff entitled “Fighting on the Home Front: The Growing Problem of Illegal Foreclosures Against U.S. Servicemembers.” The report describes in detail the systemic nature of these problems.
