Around 300 people stood in front Tom Crawford’s home in Nottingham, to stop the frail 63 year old – who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2011 – from having his home taken away.
It’s the second time protestors have attempted to protect Tom, who’s locked in a five year legal battle with Bradford & Bingley over his mortgage, in the last six months.
The bank claim Tom owes £43,000, but the pensioner denies their claims.

The bank says he still owes £43,000 but he insists he doesn't owe a penny.
In a statement, UKAR – who manage the mortgage lenders of Bradford & Bingley said:
“Repossession is always viewed as a last resort and follows a series of forbearance options, with the aim of finding a solution that takes account of the customer's specific circumstances.
“Regrettably, in this instance, we have been unable to find a solution.
“Bradford & Bingley has followed proper legal procedures and is now legally entitled to take possession of this property following the ruling by the Court and the Judge.We have a valid possession order that is enforceable.”
However protestors stood strong today and the bailiffs were forced to leave.
They came after an impassioned plea by Tom on YouTube.
