Chase Exec. Runs From Borrowers after Inviting Them to Bring Him Their Complaints

CHASING CHASE BANK

David Lowman, chief executive for JPMorgan Chase's home mortgage division, was asked by Congressman Barney Frank during congressional hearings to identify who homeowners should contact to address and resolve their concerns. Lowman offered, "Come to me." And “come” they did: Over 50 Chase borrowers in the audience came to him with their questions, but Lowman turned tail and ran from these homeowners, embarrassing members of Congress and fellow bank executives who also testified.

Chase Borrowers and supporters should contact the following Chase executives:

  • Dave Lowman (Chase Chief Executive) at: 636-735-2121
  • Jamie Dimon (Chase CEO & Chairman) at: 212-270-1111


Homeowners, taxpayers and the American people are fed-up with Chase. It demonstrates the height of arrogance, yet they are afraid of its borrowers.

  • It refuses to restructure mortgages for deserving homeowners.
  • It made $3.3 Billion last quarter on the backs of working people subsidized by American taxpayers.
  • It fights to defeat regulatory reform.
  • It refuses to be held accountable for WAMU’s predatory loans it now owns. Click for article on WAMU.
  • Its purchase of Bear Sterns was subsidized by American taxpayers.
  • It has more executives making over a million dollars a year than any other bank.
  • It receives huge amounts of taxpayer-subsidized financing.


The encounter between Mr. Lowman and Chase borrowers was reported worldwide. The following is one of the articles published by Reuters, a global news service:

U.S. bank chief mobbed by angry borrowers
Fri, Mar 26 2010

(Reuters) - The mortgage chief of the United States' second largest bank was mobbed by angry borrowers on Tuesday after he invited customers to speak to him if they feared foreclosure of their homes. The JPMorgan Chase & Co executive was at a congressional hearing in Washington when a lawmaker asked him who mortgage borrowers could turn to if they felt his bank's employees were not helping them hold onto their homes.

"Come to me," said David Lowman, chief executive for JPMorgan Chase & Co's home mortgage business in response to the question from Massachusetts Democrat Barney Frank. Minutes later, around 50 borrowers burst from the audience and presented Lowman with a 6-page document alleging his bank reneged on a pledge to help struggling homeowners.

The activist who organized the protest said Lowman did not want to talk and left the hearing. "He ran. He ran like a dog with its tail between his legs," said Bruce Marks of the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA), which helps homeowners avoid foreclosure. "He was scared to death because he doesn't really want to talk to homeowners."

The incident is symptomatic of frustrations among U.S. homeowners as defaults and foreclosure filings dominate the housing sector more than three years after the property bubble began to deflate. NACA organizes events where borrowers try to get loan modifications with lenders. The group says JPMorgan signed up to the NACA program but dropped out in December. A JPMorgan spokesman declined to comment on the complaint.
