LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- An ex-Marine in danger of losing his home is supposed to turn over the keys to his mortgage company on Tuesday, but he's refusing to leave.

Arturo de los Santos is taking a stand against Freddie Mac and JP Morgan Chase, who are preparing to evict him and his family.

"They were helping me on a loan modification and they sold the house," de los Santos told KTLA. "That was wrong."

Supporters from the 'Occupy' movement have pitched tents on the front lawn.
