A great story

I was watching the Daily show the other day and there was a great story covered by John Oliver that I thought was just the best. A couple in Naples, Florida were served a foreclosure notice by a Bank of America branch in the area. They protested to the bank that it was incorrect but the bank continued to harass them about foreclosing on their home. The thing is, they had paid cash for their home when they had bought it a few years earlier so it was free and clear. They finally decided to sue but had difficulty finding a lawyer willing to take on the Bank of America which says a lot about law firms and whose pockets they are in. Eventually they found a young lawyer who had recently passed the bar exam willing to proceed with the law suit and they won. The bank was ordered to pay $3,000.00 to the couple as a penalty for harassing them. The bank decided not to pay which says a lot about corporate respect for the law. The couple, not about to be screwed by the morally bankrupt, ethically challenged scumbag bank went out and found a sheriff who was willing to carry out his duties and two repo men who had previously done jobs for the bank. It seems they were more than happy to be involved in this repo job. They went into the bank with the sheriff's deputies and a court order to seize anything that wasn't nailed down. The bank manager was visibly shaken apparently and finally decided to negotiate a deal which covered the expenses that had been incurred by the couple. It's nice to see the shoe on the other foot for a change. I love that story. If you can check it out on youtube. It's worth watching.
