Foreclosure Defense Attorney Shakes Another $3K Out Of BofA For Add'l Legal Fees & Costs Over Attempted Bogus Foreclosure On Home Without Mortgage

In Naples, Florida, The News Press reports:

• Bank of America is caught up at last on its account with a Golden Gate couple who were sued by the bank for foreclosure even though they never had a mortgage, the couple’s attorney said today.
• The bank cut a check [last week] for $5,772.88 to cover Naples-based attorney Todd Allen’s(1) $2,534 fee for defending retired Bay Village, Ohio, police Sgt. Warren Nyerges and his wife, Maureen, who were being foreclosed on by the bank.
• That check also covers the expenses of the Collier County Sheriff’s Office. Two deputies showed up Friday at the bank’s Davis Boulevard branch in Naples with Allen and a court order authorizing them to remove property such as furniture from the bank for public auction if the debt wasn’t paid.
• On Wednesday, Allen said the bank agreed to pay him $3,000 more for the expenses he incurred collecting the original attorney’s fees. “So BOA spent approximately $9,000 to solve a $2,500 problem,” he said in an e-mail.
• Warren and Maureen Nyerges bought a house from Bank of America for $165,000 in 2009, paid cash and never had a mortgage. Somehow, the bank and its former attorney in the case, the David J. Stern law firm, believed the couple had a mortgage and was behind in the payments, Allen said.
