No HUD in Sight

After what happened at the hearing in state court and the HCHRC still ignoring my request for a swift determination, I sent an email to HUD. The NCHRC's mishandling of the case not only raised serious concerns about bias and transparency but also gave the opposing attorney an opening to weaponize the unresolved complaint…

Motion to Compel Answer & Objection to Withdrawal

This was my first formal attempt to correct the growing procedural misconduct in the case, objecting to the defendants’ failure to file an answer and exposing, through emails, that opposing counsel was playing deliberate games with disclosure about new counsel. It was clear even then that they were intentionally creating procedural confusion to delay the…

NCHRC Misleads

Investigator Bynum did not respond to my request for a formal written notice for delay. So I wrote to the Director, Jonathan Ekblad, expressing serious concerns about the delay, the lack of formal notice, and the harm the ongoing retaliation was causing me in court. Instead of addressing the problem, Ekblad responded defensively, claiming…

Delayed Determination

After Christmas, I never heard back from the investigator. Out of respect, I decided to wait and give her space because of the holidays. I finally followed up on January 7th, but got no response. When I followed up again on January 9th, I was told the determination was still "in progress." This…

Contacting Director of NCHRC

After raising serious concerns about how my case was being handled, the Mr. Ekblad assured me they "take these complaints seriously" and promised better communication. However, internal emails tell a different story. Investigator Ronya Bynum responded to my concerns by laughing behind the scenes, saying, "Lol, she doesn’t realize I completed my quota for the…

I emailed opposing counsel confirming that I priority-mailed my pre-arbitration submission since electronic exchange wasn’t allowed. I also notified him about new evidence I received from the North Carolina Real Estate Commission showing that Anna had provided false statements in a reference, which supported my claims of retaliation and defamation.

I was notified that Ronya Bynum would be handling the case on September 27, 2024, right at the 30-day mark. I immediately emailed her with questions and updated my address, but after multiple follow-ups on October 1st, 7th, and 12th with no response, I grew frustrated and contacted the program manager. It wasn’t until October…

Final Communication

After the move-out, Anna’s tone completely shifted — she suddenly became polite, even wishing me well. But her actions didn’t match her words. I wrote what I did to her because she needed to understand the real impact her behavior had on my life, and why I don’t believe the "clean break" narrative she tried…
