Fla. couple threatens bank with foreclosure

Well hilarious that the bank ponied up a check I guess. More disgusting to me. Months of torture for nothing.

"It was mind boggling," said Nyerges, a 46-year-old retired police officer. "To try to unscrew the screw up, it's not as easy as it sounds."

Eventually the Nyerges found Allen. (an attorney to take the case) They fought the foreclosure and won, proving that they owned the home outright.

During his research, Nyerges heard that his name got transposed from purchase agreements onto the prior foreclosure.


"I don't know if that is a fact, because no one really had the facts," he said.

In September 2010, a judge ordered Bank of America to pay the couple's $2,534 attorney fees. But by last week, the bank hadn't paid up, so Allen got a judge's permission to seize assets.

In an email to the Associated Press on Monday, Bank of America spokeswoman Jumana Bauwens apologized to the couple about the "delay in receiving the funds."

"The original request went to an outside attorney who is no longer in business," she wrote.

The law office of David J. Stern, which handled the Nyerges' case for Bank of America, told judges across Florida in March that it will end its involvement in 100,000 foreclosure cases.

The Florida attorney general's economic crimes division is investigating three law firms, including Stern's, over allegations that they created fraudulent legal documents, gouged homeowners with inflated fees, steered business to companies they owned and filed foreclosures without proving the bank actually had legal interest in the loans.[/b]

We Floridians..You P us off, and especially ;

And Nyerges said he's still upset with Bank of America.

"They couldn't even spell our name right in the apology," he said.

WATCH OUT!! ;D

I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall to see the look on that bank manager's face when the moving company arrived to haul off the furniture. "Skuze me, Mr. Bank manager, but you're sittin' your big butt on these folks' chair!" ;D

When he showed up with the truck, now that would have been something to see! I bet that would have been more fun to watch than a full 70% of the movie comedies that you have to pay to see.

Since he is still upset I won't be shocked if he turns around & takes them back to court for the cost of renting the truck.

I got quite a chuckle out of it, handyman. Every time I think about what that whole scenario must have looked like, I get the giggles all over again. Gotta give those folks credit. When they felt they'd been bamboozled, they got up on their hind legs and fought back with a venom. Too freaking funny! ;D

Maybe Saturday Night Live will oblige you.
