Hundreds protest mortgage companies in Downtown Fresno

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Hundreds of former homeowners gathered Thursday in Downtown Fresno to protest against the banks that took their homes.

About eleven-thousand people have signed up with a group called Live Savers. The goal is to sue the major banks.

Thursday's demonstration happened outside the Fresno County courthouse where a judge heard one of their cases today. They claim banks took their homes using forged documents or by illegal means.
