Sheriffs Complain of Illegal Lock-outs and Trash-outs

As many of you know who read this website, we have done what we can to get the word out about the illegal practice of lenders, servicers and trash-out companies locking homeowners out of their homes and throwing out homeowner possessions.  We have warned homeowners to be vigilent and keep a close eye on the actions of lenders and servicers.  Our efforts are starting to pay-off. 

We are starting to receive calls from Sheriffs (also called Court Officers in states like Michigan) thanking us for addressing the lock-out and trash-out problem.  We are hearing that Sheriffs are seeing illegal lock-outs and trash-outs on an almost daily basis.  The Sheriffs or Court Officers show up to serve a court order, as required under state law, only to see with their own eyes that the house has already been broken into, the locks have been changed and all possessions have been removed.  The Sheriff is literally there to serve the eviction notice or other form of process only to see that the trash-out company has already been there in violation of law.

Homeowners who may be delinquent on their mortgages, or who are being foreclosed on, still have the right in these United States to not have their possessions stolen by the lender's contractors who have failed to follow the proper state law foreclosure proceedings.  Snatching a homeowner's possessions without legal due process is illegal.  Homeowners have rights and do not have to sit by idly while trash-out companies steal the rest of their dignity.
