#2 A BoA spokesman said it had erroneously believed Ms Iannelli was defaulting on her mortgage and the house was vacant.
If the piece reads true [this being the MSM remember], a local DA seeking publicity has been handed an event that would allow for criminal indictments from a grand jury on various charges since the contractor acted as an agent of the bank. Running on protecting the little guy/gal from the paws of rapacious bank apparatchiks is a winner at this time.

#7 In her civil suit seeking $50,000 in damages, Ms Iannelli said the BoA contractor had invaded her home north of Pittsburgh while she was away, stopped utility services, cut water pipes and electrical wiring, damaged flooring and finishings, poured antifreeze into sinks and toilets and stolen her parrot, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The way banks are throwing away their money by mismanaging foreclosures you'd think they would be ecstatic about the opportunity to get out from under this for only %50,000.

She said that when she rang BoA to protest, its representatives first denied knowing where the parrot was, and later told her she could go to the offices of the contractor, about 80 miles away, to retrieve the bird herself.

Sounds like they gave her the bird. What more could she want?

Bank officials also allegedly told her they were "tired" of hearing from her, hung up, and advised her to seek help from the police.

I suppose bank officials wonder why people don't answer their phones when they are called for the umpteenth time to find out if they can magically pay their mortgage all of a sudden.
