Yesterday's efforts via my Facebook status: 

Last Friday when I sat down at my computer I was greeted by my own face looking back at me from a Yahoo News article about distressed homeowners. Since the article had already garnered several hundred comments (some quite vicious) from people who knew nothing of my circumstances, I decided that I might as well go ahead and tell my story, so I created a blog.

Today I received a letter from my lender (technically they are just the servicer), Bank of America, saying that after 18 months of my pleadings, myriad paperwork submissions, and literally hundreds of phone calls, they would not be offering me a mortgage modification. The letter of denial was written one day, and on a Saturday no less, after the Yahoo article started trending. The timing might just be a coincidence, and of course it also may not, but I'd definitely like them to know that I won't allow them to foreclose on my home without a fight. That's where you all come in- please take a moment to review my blog at http://distressedhomeownersusa.blogspot.com/    and consider following the blog. (I've also posted it in the Yahoo article comment section)  Maybe, just maybe, they will take notice, and give pause. Pride and privacy being both taken already (yes, I did agree to the photograph, but I thought it was just to promote the Homeowner Bill of Rights being voted on at the state capitol), this is all I got left.
