*Contrary to popular reports from Perez Hilton to Huffington Post, Carnie Wilson of 90's pop trio Wilson Phillip's fame (and recently featured in Bridesmaids) is not in foreclosure. She says "My house is not in foreclosure. My house is in a short sale." OK, she's not in foreclosure. She's in pre-foreclosure. [via Zap2it]
These buyers in Naples paid all cash for their house, but the clowns at Bank of America tried to foreclosure on them anyways. Even though the courts decided Bank of America was in the wrong, BofA still wouldn't pay the buyers' attorney fees (a measily $2534). So buyers brought in lawyer, moving trucks and armed deputies to try and foreclose on the local BofA branch! (More details here at AG Beat.) Hooray for those buyers! And shame on Bank of America! Tsk Tsk!
Well at least the owners didn't try to bulldoze their own house like this guy from last year. Remember this webcast?
