Vinia Hall
JPMorgan Chase ordered a 103-year-old woman and her 83-year-old daughter out of their northwest Atlanta home after trouble arose over mortgage payments. But Fulton County sheriff’s deputies and the moving company hired to evict the women refused to go through with the action.
Vinia Hall has shared her home with her daughter, Kathelyn Cornelius, for 53 years. Hall’s grandson, Ali Muhammad, took out a second mortgage from Deutsche Bank in 2002.
JPMorgan Chase, which is servicing the home loan on behalf of Deutsche Bank, announced after the bad publicity that it had reached an agreement with Hall that will allow her to remain in her beloved home.
