LOL! This is great! Dumb ass banks. http://www.digtriad.com/news/waterc...orida-Homeowner-Forecloses-On-Bank-Of-America Sweet Justice indeed.
Very minor sweet justice IMO. All that seems to have happened is Bank of America tried to forclose on a house illegally. The case amazingly went to court. The judge ruled for the homeowner and ordered BofA to pay legal fees. Bank of America stiffed their bill. The homeowner's attorney "foreclosed" on the branch (for only 1 hour its reported). Bank of America pays the bill. Where is the "justice"? I don't see it. This is really crapy. If folks don't want BofA trampling over the rights of the little people judges need to pull their heads out their ass and do what use to be done, but you don't see much of lately. How about criminal charges? How about a RICO lawsuit for serial perjury? How about Triple damages? Seems in this case therewas virtually Zero liability for BofAs actions despite reports in the press that BofA and other banks make mistakes like this all of the time.
That is actually exactly what happened. The justice is that the "little guy" finally gave the bank a taste of its own medicine. The branch owner (or someone like that) they said was "visibly shaken". He should be. Banks gotta pay their bills also. I'm not against your belief that the Banks should be held more liable though. It is just nice to see things like this every once in a while.
Ever been baselessly sued? As a landlord, it happens to me all the time. If a bank would have ever tried to do this to me, I'd be on them like white on rice.
The officials at the bank that started and approved this action should forfeit their homes to the victim.
It seems like this family was well off. I wonder if a poor family, struggling to make it in their home would be able to fight the bank on this.
This was a fight over legal fees. The family was pretty much irrelevant. This was lawyer vs. bank action. Hot hot hot! barfo
