Tampa retiree claims wrongful trash-out/lock-out by Countrywide and Field Asset Services
Posted on Jun 27, 2011
"Tampa retiree says he lost belongings in foreclosure blunder"
Eric P. of Newcomer, Times Staff Writer reports for the St. Petersburg Times, His article can be found here.
An 82 year old man returns to his home, following a visit to New Mexico, to find a pad lock on his door and all of his belongings missing. Along with the pad lock, sat a sign from a company that is hired to clean out foreclosed homes.
The Tampa Retiree, Benito Santiago Sr., has followed with a lawsuit in Hillsborough Circuit Court against Field Asset Services Inc. and Countrywide Home Loans for damages. He claims that Field Asset Services Inc. took his belongings and locks in the fall of 2009 illegally.
In the St. Petersburg article our own, Carlin Phillips, a wrongful foreclosure and illegal trash-out/lock-out expert, was interviewed.
Phillips says banks fail to properly make sure they have the correct home because they have not adopted the correct policies to ensure accuracy.
In this case, Santiago's home is not in foreclosure, which would be found in public records, and his son claims they may have mixed up his address with another due to a missing "0" on his mailbox.
Santiago claims that his possessions were worth $100,000, "at least," but according to Carlin Phillips and his experience with over 100 trash-out and lock-out cases, "we have never seen one piece of property back."
Bank of America, the current owner of Countrywide, and Field Asset Services have not commented on the matter.
