March 25, 2010 - Sad stories of wrongful foreclosure seem to appear almost daily in the news. A Georgia homeowner who has been making his payments on-time for years is now being foreclosed on by Wells Fargo Bank.
First Coast News reports that Tom Bloomer of Kingsford, Ga. for years has been making payments on his house to his lender, Bank of America. You can imagine his surprise when he learned that his house will be sold on April 6 because Wells Fargo has filed foreclosure proceedings against him.
Attorneys for the bank claim that the prior owner of the house, who sold it to Bloomer a few years ago, gave them a bad check that they are now going to collect on using via the home.
Bloomer bought the house in 2008 for $137,000, and claims that the sale was closed in an attorney's office and then filed in court record. Yet, somehow, years later, he is being held responsible for the bad check written by a previous homeowner.
Bloomer's family is afraid of what is to come and are unsure of whether they will be able to maintain their home. Fortunately, the wrongful bank foreclosure has been put on hold for now, since Bloomer was not given proper warning per state law. The underwriter is also putting together a defense that will hopefully allow the family to stay in the home that they have been paying for since 2008.
