COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. - A bank foreclosure story you've got to see to
believe. A Collier County couple turns the tables on Bank of America,
the bank that tried to foreclose on their home. Now, the family is
foreclosing on the bank! Even bringing trucks and deputies ready to
seize property.

The foreclosure nightmare started when Warren and
Maureen Nyerges paid cash for a home owned by Bank of American in the
Golden Gate Estates. They never had a mortgage whatsoever. But, the bank
fouled it up and wound up issuing a foreclosure through their attorney.

The
couple took their case to court and after a year and a half nightmare
the foreclosure was dropped. A Collier County judge said Bank of America
has to pay the couple's $2,534 legal fees for the error. After more
than five months the bank still hadn't paid up. So, the homeowners'
attorney did just what the bank would do to get their money, legally
seize their assets.

"I instructed the deputy to go in and take
desks, computers, copiers, filing cabinets, including cash in the
drawers," Attorney Todd Allen told WINK News.

Outside the Bank of
America on Davis Boulevard, several deputies stood by with movers ready
to start hauling out the bank's office supplies and furniture.

Inside,
the homeowners' attorney was locked out of the bank manager's office by
deputies while the bank manger tried to figure out what to do.

Allen
says the manager was visibly shaken, "Having two Sheriff's deputies
sitting across your desk, and a lawyer standing behind them, demanding
whatever assets are in the bank can be intimidating. But, so is having
your home foreclosed on when it wasn't right."

After about an
hour the bank finally cut a check to satisfy the debt, and no furniture
was taken. A representative for Bank of America issued a statement
saying they are sorry for the delay in issuing funds. They claim the
original request went to an outside attorney who is no longer in
business.

As for Allen, he calls this a symptom of a larger
problem he sees often in the courts, where banks don't perform their due
diligence on foreclosure cases. "As a foreclosure defense attorney this
is sweet justice."
