Banks Robbing

Banks Accused of Illegally Breaking Into Homes - NYTimes.com:

When Mimi Ash arrived at her mountain chalet here for a weekend ski trip, she discovered that someone had broken into the home and changed the locks.

When she finally got into the house, it was empty. All of her possessions were gone: furniture, her son’s ski medals, winter clothes and family photos. Also missing was a wooden box, its top inscribed with the words “Together Forever,” that contained the ashes of her late husband, Robert.

The culprit, Ms. Ash soon learned, was not a burglar but her bank. According to a federal lawsuit filed in October by Ms. Ash, Bank of America had wrongfully foreclosed on her house and thrown out her belongings, without alerting Ms. Ash beforehand..."

The bankster invading the home stories appear to be happening at a much more frequent level than we would assume.

Perhaps just like robosigners, the banksters sign up companies to do this kind of home invastion work, and the banks probably assign quotas for the companies to meet.

Maybe the person at the bank that hires these home invaders gets a bit too eager to beat their own quotas, so new projects begin to get created without real verification.

The excuse used for many of the home invasions is that the pipes will burst if antifreeze is not poured down the drains. But then the invaders appear to ransack the homes as well.

Although in this instance, it appears this was a true eviction foreclosure attempt, but on the wrong house.
