This may be our favorite story of the day. In an age when foreclosures are rapidly becoming the norm, a Florida couple has literally reversed the trend by foreclosing on a bank. And not just any bank, but Bank of America.
WINK-TV has the story:
The foreclosure nightmare started when Warren and Maureen Nyerges paid cash for a home owned by Bank of America in the Golden Gate Estates. They never had a mortgage whatsoever. But, the bank fouled it up and wound up issuing a foreclosure through their attorney.
The couple took their case to court and after a year and a half nightmare the foreclosure was dropped. A Collier County judge said Bank of America has to pay the couple’s $2,534 legal fees for the error. After more than five months the bank still hadn’t paid up. So, the homeowners’ attorney did just what the bank would do to get their money, legally seize their assets.
“I instructed the deputy to go in and take desks, computers, copiers, filing cabinets, including cash in the drawers,” Attorney Todd Allen told WINK News….
Allen says the manager was visibly shaken, “Having two Sheriff’s deputies sitting across your desk, and a lawyer standing behind them, demanding whatever assets are in the bank can be intimidating. But, so is having your home foreclosed on when it wasn’t right.”
After about an hour the bank finally cut a check to satisfy the debt, and no furniture was taken….
Don’t you kind of wish you could have been there to see it all go down?

Now that we have forclosed on Bank of America when will we demand that they remove our names from check systems after we have paid our debt! The supervisor told us it would never be removed and that we could never reopen a business account with them. Not that I would want to but isn't it illegal for them to pigeon hole me from banking with anyone else?
That. is. awesome!!!!!!!
This story just made my day.
Do you suppose we could foreclose on the White House?
The problem with foreclosing on the White House, is what if Obomie-the-commie gave us the keys????? Then we'd have a senate full of corruptocrat-cockroaches that we'd have to rid ourselves of. Plus Moochelle, and the Moochaliens little monsters, plus all the obomie-czars, plus.................
Novel idea. Obama hasn't been taking care of business as he should have and as he promised. However the White House all in all is ours already. Nothing in that place is his other than the things he brought with him. The only thing closer to foreclosing Obama himsef would be to impeach him.
I'd have demanded cash, and not some stupid check. I certainly hope they had about fifty news reporters onsite.
I really wish I could have been a fly on the wall in that office. No flyswatters please!
THAT'S RIGHT! DON'T TAKE NO S!@# FROM THOSE PEOPLE!
That is a good story. These things are getting out of control, and it's awfully nice to see someone TAKING control from those banks. I say, kudos to this couple. They have the fortitude to do what needed to be done, when our "Dear Leader" doesn't.
