Out of control banks are one day going to meet an armed homeowner who is actually home when they hit the wrong house.
Things.
Punitive damages 25X or so would be a good place to start. If you repossess things, you should have a strict legal duty to ensure they are the RIGHT things.
Is everyone that stupid? Doesn’t anyone verify before they go stampeding into the property?
It happens enough that statutes need to be passed to criminalize this kind of negligence. A civil suit can never make full amends. This level of negligence needs to be a crime. Contact your state legislators.
That really sucks. Sue the dog poo out of them.
Malicious mischief. They didn't want the stuff, just wanted to stick it to someone. Wanted to make someone's life miserable. What terrible awful people.
This isn’t the first time this has happened. Probably won’t be the last. Wrong house repos are getting as bad as wrong house no-knock warrant searches.
Company “Sorry about that” .....
Would someone please explain to me how this differs from anybody else breaking into her home and stealing her stuff? Why does the bank or repo company get away with this?
If I broke into her home and stole her stuff, I’d go to jail. As I should.

I worked for a “build on your lot” homebuilder back in the 80s. They had their own finance company and lots of times would “repo” houses if the property was in a location where they thought they couldn’t sell it.
One time the mortgage guy went to a house he was having repo’d and no one was there. He went one block over and the house movers were at the wrong house. They had all the utilities disconnected and the house up on wheels. He told them it was the wrong address so they set it back down on the blocks, re-connected the utilities then left. The homeowner never knew.
becoming more commonplace. all the better if someone is home at all times, armed. justifiable homicide to take down a repo crew assaulting your house, when they have the wrong house.
I can’t see why these “errors” aren’t prosecuted as burglary, at the very least. These people broke and entered and stole a massive amount of property.
OMG! I can believe this news in our country today and the responses of the Bank, the Police, and the Attorney Generals Office. WTF! Apparently people will have to guard their belongings a little more diligently from here on out. I DARE any Repo People to come to my house. I Dare them. I think it is time We in America do something as our forefathers did to take our country back. I really want to know who this /bank & repo people are. I hope they Rot in heck!
