Bank of America Gets Pad Locked After Homeowner Forecloses On It | digtriad.com
June 9, 2011 by
This is yesterday’s news, but it’s still a win for the small guy, and, frankly, hilarious. It started five months ago when Bank of America filed foreclosure papers on the home of a couple, who didn’t owe a dime on their home. The couple said they paid cash for the house.

Oh, and pull down a nice salary at the […]
