Quote :

"Collier County, Florida -- Have you heard the one about a homeowner foreclosing on a bank? Well, it has happened in Florida and involves a North Carolina based bank. [NC in the news ] Instead of Bank of America foreclosing on some Florida homeowner, the homeowners had sheriff's deputies foreclose on the bank. It started five months ago when Bank of America filed foreclosure papers on the home of a couple, who didn't owe a dime on their home. The couple said they paid cash for the house. The case went to court and the homeowners were able to prove they didn't owe Bank of America anything on the house. In fact, it was proven that the couple never even had a mortgage bill to pay. A Collier County Judge agreed and after the hearing, Bank of America was ordered, by the court to pay the legal fees of the homeowners', Maurenn Nyergers and her husband. The Judge said the bank wrongfully tried to foreclose on the Nyergers' house. So, how did it end with bank being foreclosed on? After more than 5 months of the judge's ruling, the bank still hadn't paid the legal fees, and the homeowner's attorney did exactly what the bank tried to do to the homeowners. He seized the bank's assets. "They've ignored our calls, ignored our letters, legally this is the next step to get my clients compensated, " attorney Todd Allen told CBS. Sheriff's deputies, movers, and the Nyergers' attorney went to the bank and foreclosed on it. The attorney gave instructions to to remove desks, computers, copiers, filing cabinets and any cash in the teller's drawers. After about an hour of being locked out of the bank, the bank manager handed the attorney a check for the legal fees. "As a foreclosure defense attorney this is sweet justice" says Allen. Allen says this is something that he sees often in court, banks making errors because they didn't investigate the foreclosure and it becomes a lengthy and expensive battle for the homeowner. "

Bahaha, holy shit I love that they just locked their asses out of the bank.

Seriously fucked up that they did that in the first place, though. Banks are shitty.

i sure hope the bank had to pay penalties, too, for dicking around on the payment. Being a bank, they should know better. They should have SERIOUS penalties for dicking around like that

meh.


This is like killing an ant in the grand scheme of things.

Qutie a few lawfirms are under investigation in FL for "robo-signed" foreclosures (as I am sure there are in other states too) which ran foreclosure mills.
Perhaps the interesting counter-balance to the collapse of Wall Street and the mortgage backed securities implosion was the IPO of the largest firm in Florida whereas you could essentially buy shares in the success of the foreclosure milling lawfirms to seize assets successfully.

If you don't hate Wall Street enough, hate it more because they gambled that you would pay your mortgage, and then they gambled that you would be successfully foreclosed upon.

If the bank couldn't even get it right in a situation where the homeowners very obviously didn't owe anything (they didn't even have a mortgage). How can you expect them to get it right for someone that actually does have a mortgage, but is still meeting all the payments
