ROYAL OAKS - A central coast family is doing everything they can to keep their home of more than 14 years.
Tonight the bank taking it over is speaking out.
It's a story Central Coast News first told you about on Monday.
It involves a Royal Oaks family that would rather be handcuffed than surrender their home.
"I'm willing to fight for my home," said Brandie Hannon during a telephone conversation with Wells Fargo. "I'm willing to do what it takes."
This is what Hannon's been doing since she and her family were evicted from their home last week.
Instead of getting out of the home, she's begging Wells Fargo for help.
"If you said 'Brandie, give me your lung.' I'd give you my lung," she told the bank's representative.
After the story aired on Central Coast News yesterday, Hannon said she got a phone call from Wells Fargo that it was going to call the Monterey County Sheriff's Office to arrest them for still being in the home.
Wells Fargo wouldn't tell Central Coast News whether it did.
As of late this afternoon, no sheriff's deputies had arrived at her home and the sheriff's department Civil Unit said it didn't get a call regarding the Tuckahoe home.
Wells Fargo sent Central Coast News this statement: "We worked extensively with the family for some time to identify options that might allow them to maintain home ownership. Regrettably, no options were available to maintain home ownership, or to sustain long-term home ownership."
"Their position is they've given us enough time to try to find acceptable alternative housing," Hannon said.
And while they're still staying at the place they called home for more than 14 years, it could be any day now the sheriff's office comes in with handcuffs.
It's a risk the Hannon family is willing to take.
"I'm not walking away from this house. I'm not walking away," Hannon said. "If they want to take us out in handcuffs, we're coming back. And we'll keep coming back."
That's when she went to Wells Fargo for a mortgage modification.
Wells Fargo said since January of 2009 it's helped nearly 800,000 customers avoid foreclosure through modifications.
Hannon said she's still waiting for help.
