Lenders Make Wrongful Foreclosures Without Remorse


Posted on Mar 15, 2010

March 15, 2010 - Boston, Mass. - Not only have many banks refused to work with borrowers before foreclosing on their homes, but some are now making costly mistakes that harm consumers.

According to The Boston Globe, some banks, such as Bank of America, have recently foreclosed on the wrong homes. These errors can wreck havoc on a homeowner's life, as they are forced to fight back in court. For many, wrongful foreclosure is fraught with a variety of disasters.

There are stories of banks that have sent people to padlock the doors of the wrongfully foreclosed homes, only to also ransack the houses. Occasionally, homeowners will return home to find personal items-even beloved pets-missing from their homes with the electricity turned off and the house left in disarray.

Even if your home is in foreclosure, no homeowner deserves such treatment. And for a bank or lending organization to take such actions before verifying that it is the right house is simply unfathomable.

It appears that some lenders do not comprehend the gravity of the situation and do not immediately rectify the situation, and instead, attempt to play games with wronged homeowners and victims of wrongful foreclosure.

One woman had her pet parrot stolen from her home, and was forced to drive 80 miles to get it back from the bank officials, who at first claimed that they had no idea where it was. The woman had never missed a payment with Bank of America, yet she was still treated with a shocking level of disrespect and disregard by her lending organization.
