Hello, would you like to hear a heartwarming story about banks? Oh good, because last week, a bank accidentally foreclosed on the wrong house and a nice middle aged couple lost everything that wasn't nailed down and can never get it back, ever again. Sorry, precious memories, about going to the wrong address and all. Hindsight is 20/20, etc!
&quot;We fucked your wife and pissed on your father&#039;s grave. Please accept our most sincere apologies <i>if we offended you.</i>&quot;
In the US, those are statutory terms -- and I&#039;m not aware of any states that have statutes about &quot;criminally negligent breaking and entering.&quot; Thus, no crime <i>per se</i>, and you won&#039;t find the district attorney prosecuting anybody. Which still leaves the victims with an iron-clad civil case that any attorney would drool over: there&#039;s nothing to do but sit down with Wells Fargo&#039;s attorneys and discuss, &quot;How much?&quot;
Oh yeah, there&#039;s all that. But I doubt they sit around and discuss which non-client un-mortgaged homes to break into and repossess. Not necessarily because it&#039;s wrong, but because it&#039;s so hard to get away with. (It&#039;s those damned lawyers, and all their rules about deeds and titles and other annoying, job-killing rules and regulations.)
Thanks. I was pretty happy with myself and with the thumbs-ups I was getting. But it looks like I need less musical theater references and more blind liberal rage (with lots of cursing) to get a really highly rated Wonkette comment.
I would seriously vote on a jury to give this family a billion dollar judgement. Not exaggerating, just think if somebody took every single possession of yours and threw it away , you can&#039;t just replace it at market value, even if you spent the rest of your life shopping. This is what punitive damages are made for, so the bank really takes their actions seriously, and the people never have to want for anything, since you threw away your life.

Hating lawers, and hiring them, are by no means mutually exclusive.

Cover? They&#039;ll be the October centerfold.
Ten eyes, eight legs ... but zero revelations? That don&#039;t seem right.
When the address is 125685 Old Dry Gulch Road, transposing two digits can put you off by 50 miles.

Apparently no reasonable award is going to stop the big banks from doing this, so I concur.
Yeah, which is why they&#39;ll hope to delay until the Tjosaa&#39;s financial ability to continue suit is exhausted.

You don&#039;t forclose on the homes that you have. You forclose on the homes that you <i>want</i>
And only 2% interest ... for the first 5 years.
I think they&#039;re now getting tough on people who refuse to owe them money.
