Role reversal bank gets foreclosed on by home owner haha.
Five months ago Bank of America filed foreclosure papers on a Florida couple who didn't owe anything on their home. Now, those homeowner's have foreclosed on Bank of America, according to WFMY News.
The homeowner's, the Nyergers, were forced to take the case to court after Bank of America refused to accept their proof that they'd paid cash for their home.
A Collier County judge immediately accepted the family's evidence, confirmed the Nyergers' claims, and told Bank of America to pay all legal fees.
The bank refused, and the family's attorney did what the bank had tried to do to his clients -- he seized their assets. Within an hour of being locked out of his bank, the branch manager handed over a check for the legal fees.

Man, I hope that this is real.

amazing. Absolutely amazing.
-

And f-ck the banksters.

only disappointment i had with the lawyer is he should of done it to hq of bank of america not the branch most branches don't have that much power or say so. if they done it to hq would of made huge noise and make the ceo's think twice.
-
Yeah, that's dreaming though. Not sure you could convince a police dept to actually enter their HQ.
Plus I presume BofA RUNS whatever town it's in.

Armchair, the lawyer's job was to spend the least of his client's money necessary to collect the legal fees owed to his client.
He did exactly the right thing, and got the perfect result.
Had he gone after the B of A headquarters (which might well be a different corporation, in which case he'd lose), the bank might well have decided to fight him to the death, and, in any case, the expense for his client would have been much higher.

but you gotta admit if he had done that would of gotten tons of media and sympathy and attention from the bosses etc...
Howdy, Stranger!
