Bank Forecloses on Wrong Home & Steals Owner’s Belongings

• http://chrisinmaryville.net/
Katie Barnett, a resident of McArthur, Ohio has had her home foreclosed on by First National Bank in Weilston (FNBW). The problem is that her home was not scheduled for foreclosure. Barnett said: “GPS had led them to my house, the president of the bank told me. They also said my grass hadn’t been mowed so they just assumed that was the house.” Since the home actually being foreclosed on read 514 and Barnett’s home is 509, the mix-up is hardly explicable. It shows the lack of empathy of all involved as well as a disregard for efficiency on the bank’s part.
