Just a Mistake

Remember the story we had a while back about the wrong house being torn down? Well this is a variation on the theme. Nilly Mauck of Las Vegas had her locks changed and all her belongings hauled away and discarded because her neighbors got foreclosed on. Yep, the mortgage company had 1157 emptied instead of 1156. When Nilly asked for $200,000 for ALL her belongings they told her nope we'll give you $5000. They, the mortgage company as well as the company contracted to empty the house, claim they do not know where her belongings were discarded. Possibly because they were 'discarded' into someone else's home? Hopefully she gets a lawyer and gets a hunk of that bail out money for her trouble.

Omg, I can't even believe how pissed off I would be... I'm fuming right now and I don't even know this woman!

I can't wait to see the lawsuit for this one. I'd want that mortgage company to put their executives heads on a stake.

Nuke'em till they glow! 😠

BTW, do all these foreclosures today resemble the land-grab banks used to do back in "the old West" to anybody else?

Could be worse: this guy firebombed the wrong house.
