Florida Sheriff’s Deputies Bring Padlocks After Angry Homeowners Foreclose on…Bank of America!

WFMY-TV:

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.

Instead of Bank of America foreclosing on some Florida homeowner, the homeowners had sheriff’s deputies foreclose on the bank.

Gawker:

Florida homeowners Maurenn Nyergers and her husband paid for their home in cash, and never took out a mortgage, so when Bank of America filed foreclosure papers on the house, they took the bank to court, and won. And when Bank of America wouldn’t pay their legal fees — as it was ordered to by the court — their attorney, Todd Allen, decided to seize its assets, in person, with movers and sheriff’s deputies in tow.

Threatened by Allen’s instructions to “remove desks, computers, copiers, filing cabinets and any cash in the teller’s drawers,” the bank paid up after about an hour, though one imagines the sight of the nervous bank manager was almost payment enough for a foreclosure defense attorney like Allen. (”[T]his is sweet justice,” Allen says.)

    Banks are accustomed to stealing from the poor and middle class families. When you put money in the bank, it will disappear weather you spend it or not. This family was smart and they took a stand against the bank robbing them. I suggest that if a depression hit the U.S. pull your money out of the banks, the government will take. This is Justice rendered to Bank Of America. Don’t wait until it happens to you, take a stand for what you believe in. I Stand For Israel…….Am Israel

I suppose some entities are “too big to fail”… and too big to care to follow court orders. Funny how in weak economy two banks in neck of the woods have been able to put up nice, new structures. Go figure.
      I’d think real hard about sticking my neck out to excuse this level of incompetence. This is idiotic hubris, plain and simple.

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and even the Treasury Dept were involved in dictating to lenders what types of loans (sub-prime) the lenders were to make – it all began with Jimmy Carter and the Community Reinvestment Act. But because the particular kool-aid drinkers here buy into the “banks are the evil villain” rhetoric pumped out by the media, they jump right up on the band wagon without knowing the facts – or caring that there are any.

      Yep. We‘re just too dumb to realize that it’s in our best interest to allow different rules for different people. The dehumanization being championed here is nauseating. By the rationale of some posters, the ol’ “I was just following orders” routine not only defends past unethical behavior but all present and future chicanery. While I can understand the warm, fuzzy feeling that is evoked by holding what seems to be be an eternal “get out of jail free” card, there comes a point where you can’t defend stupid and greedy without looking a bit… questionable.
      This recalls an experience my family had in buying a home. I took the day off to close on the loan but the bank rep dicked around and didn’t make herself available at the SCHEDULED time. Long story short, because of someone else’s lack of punctuality, my interest rate was a full percentage point higher than promised. But, hey, that’s MY problem right? I mean, she told me she felt REAL bad about it.
      This explains how opportunistic jerks like Trump are championed as an actual presidential candidate: Screwing people, gaming the system and rationalizations are truly the American way. I‘m pretty dang sure I’m smart enough to know that screwing people shoul NOT be championed or defended.
      There was a court order, the bank chose to ignore it and the potentates should be shunned for their incompetence thoughout this matter. Then again, maybe they just don’t care. Maybe we shouldn’t care. All is well, ri

      In case you overlooked the article (and I’m pretty much sure you did), the couple NEVER went for a mortgage and they paid for their home in CASH. The instant Maurenn and Allen were slammed with foreclosure papers, they sued Bank of America, and when the court issued Bank of America the order to pay their legal fees, the bank willingly ignored it.

      You are quite wrong. We are well aware that the government was to blame for a great deal of this–but you cannot deny that the bankers’ greed had a lot to do with the situation in which they found themselves. And after taking huge sums of money wrung out of average taxpayers–many of whom were having difficulty paying their OWN mortaages, those self-same banks seemed to go out of their way to be arrogant, rude and unccoperative in the extreme to John Q Public. It is no wonder people hate them as much as they hate the government.

      So climb down off your soapbox, Mister. Reminds me of that scene in “Cool Hand Luke” where George Kennedy was citing prison rules and Luke sneered, “Yeah, those poor old bosses, they need all the help they can get!”

I have been wondering for YEARS why we allowed that bunch to remain here, let alone putting as much money into it as we do. Keepers of the peace? That is rich. The UN is completely toothless and ineffective–witness all their stern “resolutions” to Iran about the nukes, which have accomplished exactly nothing.

      I‘ve also read about cases where they tell people they’re going to “work with them” and to “wait for the paperwork”, and while they are waiting, they foreclose on the home. I’ve even read they have improperly foreclosed on some of our soldiers fighting in the Middle East without proper notice or due process. Even if they do not give a rat’s a$$ about the rest of us, you would THINK the government would get involved and force them to do what’s right in those cases.

      Oh, right–the government has forgotten what is right–if, indeed any of them ever knew in the first place. The Boy King and his Bovine Queen, Moo-chelle obviously have no clue about right and wrong, or between class and trashy, for that matter. What kind of low-class trash gives an I-Pod loaded with his OWN speeches as a gift to a foreign dignitary? Especially when that dignitary is the Queen of England–one of our oldest and most faithful allies in the world!

      I’m going to assume that BoA was the title holder when the house went to sale. Either from another foreclosure or the previous owner was selling and the house was not yet paid off. Then I would guess (I am only assuming as I only know what you know from this article) they were auditing their files and either someone misread the terms of the sale in the closed paperwork or the paperwork was filed incorrectly and upon further investigation found that “no payments” were being made and started forclosure procedues. Either way it would seem to be a major screw up on BoA’s part and then they compounded the problem by not paying on a court mandated payment for legal fees for the defendents.

But anyway, regardless of who may love or hate BoA… it is a huge disservice to put your eye towards any banks without first nonstop condemning the root of the problem. Fannie/Freedie… Frank/Dodd.

      My biggest beef with the big banks that got all the bailout money is they used it to pay fat bonuses to execs and just sat on a lot of it–they spent little or nothing on what the money was “supposed” to be for–which was to open up credit and lending for businesses to create jobs. That never happened, because the banks took the money and ran.

      Of course for the government to just hand out these HUGE bags of money to these a$$ holes with NO conditions or accountability attached whatever was nuts to being with. That just PROVES they’re all in bed together. I made a note of every one of our Congressional representatives who voted to give them all that money and I voted against them all. That is the only way we can put a stop to this kind of crap–MAKE THEM PAY when they do it, by throwing them out of their cushy jobs in Washington, because, you know, they have become so fond of the lavish little nest they’ve built for themselves in Washington that will sell themselves to ANYBODY to keep it–even BOA.

Perhaps if most of you had done the research back then, instead of just parroting what you’re where hearing you wouldn’t have made some of those hateful statements. It’s the banks (for the most part) that caused this mess and now they are trying to cover it up by ramming through foreclosures with fraudulent paperwork so they don’t have to pay for their mistakes. The banks got bailed out (at the people’s expense) and now they are trying to finish us off.

      BoA is that kind of mothertrucker, even way back when they were Nations Bank. Believe me, I know. They effed me within my first month of having an account, and i called them on it and cancelled my account right there on the spot.

      Anyone with a Bank of American Account, Credit Card, or Loan should find a way, anyway to move thier accounts…

      Bank of America is by far the worst bank in the nation, and has soooo many underhanded policies and fees they make the mafia look like choir boys.

      All for profit banks are bad( I use Credit Unions for all my banking) but Bank of America takes it to a whole new level

      BOA thinks it is a one way street in their favor. I can’t tell you how many Americans have not made a mortgage payment to BOA for a year of more while they live in the home and save money.

      Bottom line. If BOA could prove that they own the note to the house, they would have foreclosed on the homeowner immediately and taken the asset back and sold it. BOA cannot do this because they cannot prove who holds the note. They are FRAUDS and have taken TARP money from the Government who they are in bed with.

      Happy camping Americans

      Banks are not our enemies. The fed is. Congress is. the President is. The governemnt is our problem. This is a rare and unusual issue and how they attempted to foreclose on a house that was purrchased with cash is beyond me. I wonder if the previous owner had a loan from BofA?

      @Paradigmm

      Lets make sure we place the blame where it truely belongs:

      1. Politicians: Home ownership is a priviliage, not a right (Note I said HOME OWNERSHIP, not a roof over your head)
      2. Bankers: Greedy SOBs
      3. “Homeowners” who could not read, comprehend, or just too stupid to add 1 + 1.

      These are the people we need to blame. But, as usual, the ones who do the right thing and can live with in their means AND make thier payments on time are the ones who get screwed.

      For the people in the story, good for them! I guarentee there were some shorts being changed after that incident.

      @ARMED PATRIOT

      a Generic Bank is not an “enemy” no company is, however if you would look in to Bank Of America you would clearly see they should have gone out of business a long time ago, and no one that is concerned with the Rule of Law or a open free market should ever do any business with Bank of America.

      @FFFPE
      You can’t simply lay the blame on one group of people; the problems are more systemic than that. Yes, for years politicians have been touting the idea of home ownership as part of the American dream but what they didn’t tell people is that over the last few decades banks have been paying politicians (via campaign contributions) to rewrite laws, reduce regulations and essentially rig the game in the banks favor (as if the fractional reserve system itself wasn’t bad enough). Having had a parent in the banking industry for 43 years I think I can speak with authority on that.

      As for the people too dumb to read or comprehend what they are reading, you’re absolutely right. Most kids coming out of high school these days can’t even balance a checkbook. The American educational system has completely failed (or succeeded depending on who you talk to) our children. Schools have become nothing more than indoctrination centers that emphasize repetitive behaviors over critical thinking. Smart enough to follow instructions but dumb enough not to question them! The politicians/bankers love this however (which explains why they are so adamant about defunding what is left of the educational system) because the people are too stupid to see what has been going on for decades.

      @ Snowleopard -

      I can relate. I closed out a charge card account with BOA a number of years ago and kept getting statements saying that the account was being charged a late fee of $1.00, then $2.00, next $3.00 and so on despite repeated calls to customer service. It took months to get it straighten out and then they kept trying to say it was my error. What is so hard to understand about “Please close the account.”? There are other horror stories I could tell, but won’t. Suffice it to say I did a victory boogie when I read the story.
