Two months? I'm just calling a locksmith and getting back into my house that same day. If the locksmith won't do it, then I'm just going to home depot and doing it myself. None of this two month bullshit.
No need for a locksmith...for what appears to be a 4 digit combination lock. I remember my parents giving me locks they forgot the combos for as a kid. Its not hard to try every possible combination on a 3/4 digit lock. It just takes a little time.

This issues can be resolved in about 5 minutes with a grinder. If you have proof that your home payments are up to date, dont let anythint or anyone try to bar you from entering your home.
The mortgage holder lied, they do not have the right to even come on your property if you are not in default. They need to be charged with breaking and entering plus burglary, that will end this crap real quick. And never pay in advance unless you have written statement that they are taking it off the next due date, most lenders will screw you by taking advance payments off the end of the loan or applying it to the principle so you still have to make the next month payment.
You both are right, because some people have to travel a lot with work, and sometimes they pay up a few months in advance, so always make sure they are paying it towards the payment.
Judges say to cut the lock off, immediately get into the house, THEN contact your mortgage company (servicer)... For example Housing Court Judge Patrick M. Carney -- explicitly informed people that find a lock on their door to do precisely that.
i honestly would have kicked the door in reconnected the utilities myself and made the bastards pay for it ..and if anyone tried to remove me ,people would have been shot ,,it would have been the right thing to do actually ....
Squirtle thank you I was gonna say the same thing! Reminds me of that old Simpsons episode: “Let’s not use her name, Lisa S. Well that’s too obviously how about L. Simpson.”
Well...his name may be linked to a business and he doesn't want to bring his professional life into a personal matter!!! Geez???? That's a tough one to figure out!
jennifer neal I think you’re missing the point. We are saying they already gave enough information already so the withholding of his address was pointless.
The last name was asked to be withheld...not the address. Re read the first comment " asks not to use his last name but uses address?" Am I the only one who understands the comment? Like it makes no since for him to want his name with held?
jennifer neal yes I had remembered it backward (I commented 4 weeks ago)... so what’s your point? It appears you agree with all of our comments minus my error.
Don't blame the janitors for this mess, we retrieved and saved stuff that accidentally got tossed into the trash. The amount of bankers and their underlings scrambling to get in order that I saw was scary.
Funny how big corporations make gigantic mistakes which negatively impact their customers and in the end NEVER confess to their mistake Glad to hear about the happy ending!
I don't blame Safeguard Properties; they're just a contractor. I blame Green Tree Financial. And they are now on my list of financial institutions not to do business with.
In Texas in case of a lock-out for non-payment the landlord/manager has to post a notice with a phone number and has to LET THEM IN within 4 hr of being called. Its essentially a tool to be used to ensure the landlord/manager can face to face confront the person who didn't pay, for discussion of what will be done about overdue payments and future payments. You have to do one lock-out before commencing eviction proceedings which can take 3 months to a year (while the scumbag renters don't pay at all and they trash the place, rip out all the plumbing and wires to sell for scrap and take up the floors, destroy all the sheet rock and fill the building with feces and hazmat) You couldn't get me to be a landlord again. Renters are scum.
So... you have had to deal with scumbag renters, therefore you can ignore what actually happened in the video (and miss that just because something is la somewhere doesn't mean it is the same everywhere, nor does it mean unscrupulous people who rent out exist)/? Wonderful logic. /s
The courts should award free title tot the house to the owners and make the mortgage company pay all costs, including expenses the family incurred while locked out.
Chase Bank called me, two years after I sold my house, to tell me they were going to foreclose on me. I laughed and told them to go ahead as I don't own the house anymore. The person that called me was confused and didn't understand what I was telling them. I told them that I sold the house to a couple that wrote a check for the house and they did not have a mortgage with them or any other bank. I told them to go ahead and try to foreclose on it as I needed a good payout in court when they lose.
they probably misspoke, but if that is what happened it could probably have caused this mess. I actually paid my mortgage up through the end of next year, but the bank manually adjust those dates down to 3 months. It just takes them a while. So I would actually receive receipts from the bank telling me that my next due date isnt until the end of next year, but then suddenly my due date will change to 3 months from when I made the payment since that's their policy. Incidentally though, technically, I shouldn't be responsible for the mistakes of their system. I don't push it though because I know that it would be a headache to deal with regardless. with most banks they don't have those types of quarks. If you pay ahead for a number of years it gets recorded as a principal only payment. The size of your payments don't change, but the interest you ultimately pay significantly goes down and this results in the loan being paid off sooner. If a consumer confuses a principal only payment with paying ahead this can result in a foreclosure.
Corrupt mortgage criminal who check out houses that pay off to steal home, these criminal all over Florida, also they break into home taken property. Law protect these criminals.
If I had this happen to me or to my mum, no attorney would take the case without a retainer of several thousand dollars. That is why it is a big risk to buy a house this day and age in this country because of this and deed/title thieves. You can't get a break. I have been a victim of it three times and it wasn't because I wasn't behind on my payments. Couldn't get an attorney and kept losing in court as a result. The last one, we are still fighting pro se the alleged new owners of the park.
There is an easy solution to these types of problems and that is take away the right of mortgage companies and financial institutions to break into and take people's property without court orders and police present.
I agree. This is a matter for a crowbar. And I would have busted that lock off my door in short order and then called the police so they could return the lock to the owner. All the while having the paperwork in my hands showing I was not in default on my loan.
Michael Cucco You don't shoot someone over something like this. Unless they invade your home while you are there and fail to identify themselves. You break the lock illegally placed upon your property to gain access then call the police so they can return the lock to its rightful owner; all the while having paperwork in hand that shows you are not in default.
while i get it, people are frustrated at the incompetence of the lenders, but to say you need a gun and shoot first ask questions later is pretty much making people think you have the qualifications for being a immoral cop. if you want to get ahold of a banks ass, simply hire a lawyer, and have said lawyer come out if you see the foreclosure people walk up. try and get it settled in court and also to never take out a loan for anything period.
I live in Northern Alabama and I found out shortly after i moved here that if you have an outstanding bill that you avoiding to pay the company can send cops to try an make you cough up the money or they will dock your paycheck till it's paid off.
You think that the States in which these lending companies or mortgage companies large foreclosing on people that are up to date on their mortgages or rent which step in and suspend there right to operate in those States.

Mim. 10 million but go for 100. Million!! Some things are priceless and can't be replaced and they destroyed them not you then they are liable for the damage...
I would have filed charges for Breaking and Entering because they had to forcefully break open the old lock and gained entry to the home without the consent of the owner.
Same thing happened to me after i came back from war, they changed my lock so i kicked the door till i broke it, very next morning i went to the office we had about an hour of discussion till they saw i was up to date on my payment. They apologize and came chanhe the door up. They avoided me suing them
To Safeguard Properties: THE OWNER OF THE TOWNHOME IS LOCKED OUT OF IT! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES! NEVER DO ANY BUSINESS WITH ANY COMPANY WHO FORECLOSES ON THE WRONG HOMES!
Why does it not require a court order, after all parties involved could make their case, before people can be locked out of their home? Only in dictatorships, third world countries and in the USA do such procedures not exist.
I don't know the laws in the other states..but Oregon requires landlords to hold- and release upon request-anything left behind for 6 full months! Why are these guys able to load everything into dumpsters and destroy? I think the law needs to be addressed!!
Break in. You are current on the loans and everything, they are the criminals here. File the lawsuit against them for trespassing or whatnot. Scary shit right there.
why does the authorities allow people so incompetent run a business the should be arrested the bank should be closed and hold bank official 100% responsable

There should be a law that if the lender does this and is found to be wrong the loan is settled and the home is free to the borrower.
It's amazing that the banks can do this, but a squatter can break into your home and you have to go through a lengthy legal process to get them out!
TeacherTeacher if a squatter was in my house id shoot them and bury them in the woods....
If they're not invited, you don't have to go thru any legal process.. physically kick them out.

Michael Clark - You should want extra payments to come off the principal, that way you save money by paying less interest.
