Michigan Couple Sues for Illegal Lock-Out by Deutsche Bank


Posted on Apr 25, 2010

Gowen, Michigan - Phillips & Garcia and Attorney Joseph deMello are filing a federal lawsuit on behalf of a Michigan couple who bought a bank-owned home directly from Deutsche Bank. Within 6 months, the bank's trash-out company, Field Asset Services, then allegedly locked them out of their home and seized their property without notice to the couple.

"We just went up there one day and there was a note on the door from this company -- a trash-out company," the home owner, Rick Rought said. "The doors were broken into." The defendants not only changed the locks on the home, but stole some possessions, the Roughts said. All kinds of things were taken -- from a dining room set to the American flag mounted outside the home.

"We looked and the curtains were gone, then we started to panic and when we went in, there was virtually nothing left," Sherry Rought said. "Everything was swept out and gone."
