Bank Apologizes Profusely After Changing Locks On Foreclosed Home In Violation Of Court Order
In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:
- Keon Williams' fight to keep his house has taken another strange twist: The Milwaukee man arrived home Monday night to find that the locks had been changed on one of his doors on orders from Harris Bank, even though a court order says he can stay in the house for now.
- "They admitted they had sent somebody to change the locks," Williams' lawyer, Geoffrey Gnadt, said after an emergency court hearing Tuesday. "They did apologize profusely - but there are costs."

- Completion of [the foreclosure] sale was stayed by a Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge until May 12 after Williams explained the situation in court. Yet when he got home early Monday evening, he was stunned to find new locks and a note from a property management company on the side door of the house. The front door was inexplicably left unlocked.

- Harris Bank's lawyer told Milwaukee County Circuit Judge William Brash at Tuesday's hearing that the locks had been changed in error, Gnadt said. Harris' lawyer apologized for the snafu and agreed to cover the cost for Williams to have a new lock installed. The bank will also pay Williams' attorney fees and any other costs incurred because of the mistake, according to Gnadt and court records.

This happened to me whereby the home was unlawfully broken into without a court order "Writ of Possession" which was a violation of a municipal ordinance.
WAMU, U S Bank, Litton, and third party agents---substitute trustee (attorneys and real estate investors) all played a pivotal role in fraudulent acts.
Unlawful detainer was bad enough, but the theft of whole contents of property in my opinion without legal authority is criminal.
If the average citizen committed these criminal acts with theft of $350,000 in property. This would be considered by law enforcement, "Burglary and Grand Larceny" and you and I would be thrown in jail. However, these white collar criminal financial institution enterprises never see the inside of a jail.
There are people sitting in jail now accused of crimes for lesser sentences.
This real estate investment firm that worked for the banks were also the purchasers who bidded on the home at the foreclosure auction sale. I was not notified of the foreclosure court action or the fraudulent auction sale.
An unlawful transfer of Deed of Title because the real estate investors were an agent of the bank and was illegal for them to bid on the home, as a Bona Fide" purchaser that should not have been approved by the Circuit Court.
More fraud, the purchasers never came up with their settlement funds, but had the ultimately gaul to steal our home by way of rogue Court officials.
A (RICO) rackeeeting scam to highest proportion by the banking industry designed to rake in billions of dollars in bonuses with the intent to
steal homes then pass loans through a chain of other banks, lenders and mortgage servicers to defray any legal responsibility to homeowners.
Nearly six (6) years, the State has done nothing to assist me and are still supportive of the banks refusing to take any enforcement action against them.
The only redeeming act to come out of this horror is that finally all of these crimes are finally coming to light and finally being prosecuted.
