Bank of America Wrongfully Forecloses on Naples Florida Home


Posted on Jun 30, 2010

Bank of America Wrongfully Forecloses on Florida HouseBank of America wrongfully foreclosed on a home that it actually sold to a Naples, Florida resident some four months earlier.
 
Naples News.com and the Naples Daily News report that Warren Nyerges, a retired Cleveland area Ohio police officer who left the Buckeye State for greener pastures and sunshine in Naples, Florida, bought the house directly from Bank of America in late 2009.  Living their American dream, the couple enjoyed fixing up their new home.  He bought the home from BoA and he had actually offered $5,000 more than Bank of America asked.  The deal was quickly sealed with title insurance.

Then the ball dropped, in February 2010 the couple was served with a notice that Bank of America was foreclosing on the property.  The retired officer took action and immediately contacted BoA.  After avoiding his phone calls for weeks, he went into one of Bank of America's local branches so they could no longer escape him. 

Adding insult to injury, the people he spoke with at Bank of America were less than sensitive and failed to understand why he was so upset.  The foreclosure process is reportedly on hold while Bank of America "researches" the problem.  But, the frustration and embarrassment of foreclosure proceedings continues for Mr. Nyerges.     

As the number of foreclosures increase in Florida, it stands to reason that the number of wrongful foreclosures and illegal lock-outs is rising.  But, Florida homeowners who are victims of Florida wrongful foreclosures have legal rights.  Victims of Florida wrongful foreclosures and lockouts who need to learn more about their rights can always request our free report, "Foreclosure Lock-Outs and Trash-Outs: Consumers Have Rights" posted on our Home page.  Homeowners with questions can continue to call us directly at 877-892-5620 or fill out and send in a confidential Contact Form.
