The Blaze
Having your belongings repossessed by a bank hurts, but it’s worse when it’s done by accident.
That’s what one central Ohio woman claims happened to her.
“Katie Barnett says that the First National Bank in Wellston foreclosed on her house, even though it was not her bank,” 10TV.com reports.
“They repossessed my house on accident, thinking it was the house across the street,” Barnett explained.
Barnett added that she was away when the bank decided to break into her home and take her things.
She said she had “to crawl through the window of her own house in order to get in after she used her own key that did not work,” the report adds.
The report notes that most of her belongings were “hauled away,” some sold and others trashed.
Yes, the bank accidentally broke into her home and took her possessions thinking it had the correct house all along.
I smell lawsuit
Banks can not enter homes. Only persons.
If some was to break into a home that doesn’t have a legal right, isn’t that burglary? Illegal search and seizure? Breaking and entering? trespassing? Possession of stolen property? Violation of civil rights? Am I missing something here?
Sue the hell out of them!
That sounds like theft and I hope she takes who ever was acting on the banks behalf for all they are worth. Then if it is deemed to be the banks fault then it should be open season on the bank
