Bank of America Gets Pad Locked [sic] After Homeowner Forecloses On It
It seems the Bank of America decided to foreclose on the home of a couple who had paid cash for their home. Unfortunately, all the judge in the case did was declare that bank of America had to pay the couple’s legal fees, not some truly righteous damages, but still the bank refused to cough up what they owed. So, the layer got a court order foreclosing on the branch the fake foreclosure had issued from:
After more than 5 months of the judge’s ruling, the bank still hadn’t paid the legal fees, and the homeowner’s [sic] attorney did exactly what the bank tried to do to the homeowners. He seized the bank’s assets…
…Sheriff’s deputies, movers, and the Nyergers’ attorney went to the bank and foreclosed on it. The attorney gave instructions to to remove desks, computers, copiers, filing cabinets and any cash in the teller’s drawers.
After about an hour of being locked out of the bank, the bank manager handed the attorney a check for the legal fees.
Too bad. It’d have been better to have socked the BoA with a much bigger bill and foreclosed the entire BoA operation, the friggin’ cheats.
I do wish people who wrote and edited copy for a living were more ethical about their work. The stupid errors in the original noted above ought to have those responsible docking their own pay, since, after all, they make their living as wordsmiths, don’t they?
“Pad Locked”-nuh-uh: padlocked.
“homeowner’s”–nope. The article made it clear the couple owned their home, so it is “homeowners'” with the apostrophe following the plural “s” creating the possessive form. F’in’ idiots. I don’t get paid for this stuff, and even I know that.
It worked so it was the right thing to do.
At one time there was a small oil company I’d done a minor job for, a job which had not been paid in several months, having submitted several requests for payment. At the time my son was only 5 and had no idea about such things; but I took him along to their annual stock holders meeting and barged in as the board, sitting in their thousand dollar suits, sat around the huge table discussing million dollar investments.
I held up my bill, signed by the office manager, and demanded payment. They told me I’d never get any of their business again to which I added, “Is that a promise?” I got paid and within a few years that company went belly up, closed the doors and its building carries a different name now.
I have had folks call me for work that I’ve told “No,” because of their prior practice. I’d already told them I no longer wanted their business, and the idiots called anyway thinking, apparently, that I could not do without them. Others I’ve told, “I bill on a sliding scale based on whether I like my clients or not. You just went to the top of the billing chart because of XYZ,” and still had calls from them… Go figure.
*Sigh*
Too bad this story didn’t get the media attention it deserved.
