PNC Bank plans to evict Foreclosure and Eviction Fighter Yin Wong and her family from their home in Bayview. We have to stop them!
Please take action with four steps to save their home:
1) Call these PNC staff with the message below:
- PNC CEO James E. Rohr right now at 412-762-2294 (may transfer to Executive Complaint Office voicemail) or 412-963-6133 (home)
- PNC Bank President William Demchak at 917-348-1173 (cell)
- PNC Senior Vice President Thomas Hyland at 212-527-3938
- PNC Bank Vice President of Corporate Communications Fred Solomon at 412-762-7544
“How does it feel to know you’ve sent someone into the hospital with a life-threatening condition just because you refuse to talk with them about how they can make payments — as she always did in full and on time — on their mortgage loan? Please postpone the sixth eviction attempt you’ve scheduled for September 5 (was August 29), and immediately reinstate the mortgage loan of San Francisco resident Yin Wong and her daughter Wai Cheung (PNC mortgage customer loan #0002043106) to keep their family in their Bayview home. After PNC purchased their mortgage loan from National City Mortgage, they received no notification of the purchase so their EFT payment didn’t make it to PNC, which rapidly foreclosed on their home and has tried several times to evict them. They have always been prepared to pay their mortgage, so please negotiate with them and settle this matter fairly.”

Subject: Stop Eviction and Reinstate Yin Wong’s Loan (#0002043106) to Keep Her Family in Their Home
Dear PNC,
How does it feel to know you’ve sent someone into the hospital with a life-threatening condition just because you refuse to talk with them about how they can make payments — as she always did in full and on time — on their mortgage loan?
Please postpone the sixth eviction attempt you’ve scheduled for September 5 (was August 29), and immediately reinstate the mortgage loan of San Francisco resident Yin Wong and her daughter Wai Cheung (PNC mortgage customer loan #0002043106) to keep their family in their Bayview home
After PNC purchased their mortgage loan from National City Mortgage, they received no notification of the purchase so their EFT payment didn’t make it to PNC, which rapidly foreclosed on their home and has tried several times to evict them. They have always been prepared to pay their mortgage, so please negotiate with them and settle this matter fairly.
Sincerely,
your name here
3) Sign the OccupyOurHomes.org Petition.
4) Stay tuned for 6:00am Wednesday home eviction defense at Yin Wong’s home, which may last all day. Those who wish to commit civil disobedience (i.e. take an arrest) may have the opportunity to do so, although anyone who doesn’t want to risk arrest may of course also participate.
Background
PNC Bank is stealing the home of Yin Wong, disabled senior by ILLEGALLY foreclosing on her and her family after National City Mortgage sold the loan on her home to PNC Bank. The first she heard of PNC’s purchase of the loan was a foreclosure notice in the mail. Even though Yin Wong has the money to pay the loan and has tried to get PNC Bank to accept it, PNC has refused and has pushed eviction proceedings forward even after four prior court appearances during which the Superior Court judge urged PNC to correct the problem. Yin Wong has tried over and over to work with PNC, but PNC has refused to work with her.
PNC Bank did the exact same thing with the Cruz family in Minneapolis… thousands of people have protested their eviction, organizing to re-occupy their home with dozens of arrests.
Let’s stand together to fight back and let banks know that we won’t let them foreclosure on families illegally.
JOIN US AND DEMAND PNC WORK WITH YIN TO KEEP HER HOME!!!
