Banksters' Premature Lockouts Victimize Another Homeowner Behind In House Payments


In Jacksonville, Florida, First Coast News reports:

  • Pushpa Verma, a realtor who purchased her home in 2008 as her primary residence, has turned it into a rental to generate income after the housing market crashed. "I lost my prospective tenant," said Verma.

    Two weeks ago, Verma tried to show the property to a potential renter and discovered that the locks on her home were changed. [...] She found blue stickers everywhere from the front door to the garage that stated that the house was being winterized. [...] Winterization is a process where the bank sends in a company to secure property that has been abandoned or foreclosed on.

    Verma said she is behind on her mortgage, but does not fit into any of those categories. "My house is not in foreclosure," said Verma.

    Verma tried to get answers from the winterizing company and her lender but said no one has explained what happened, and why. [...] Verma hired a company to replace the locks, [...] and she has placed her home back on the market for rent.

    The company that changed the locks is Lender Processing Services field services.
