Mass. Couple Sue Bank of America Alleging Erroneous Foreclosure Attempt

January 29, 2010

Lawyers for owners of a mortgage-free Florida home that Bank of America attempted to foreclose on are bringing an arsenal of legal claims against the banking giant, ranging from obvious claims like conversion and trespass to more unexpected ones like defamation and libel. Massachusetts residents Charlie and Maria Cardoso claim in their suit that Bank of America intimidated the tenant living in their house into leaving and that the foreclosure attempt harmed their reputation with friends and family.
