FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NJ Attorney Protects Rights of Homeowners from Illegal Entry by Bank Representatives
Westwood, New Jersey – October 5, 2012
The firm
currently represents a family in southern New Jersey that was subject
to a wrongful eviction. The bank sent representatives into the home and
removed all personal property from the home, without having first
obtained a foreclosure judgment.
On Monday May 14, 2012, a person claiming to be a representative of
J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. broke into a NJ home, and with no legal
rights, changed the locks and prevented the rightful owners from
entering their own house. The trespassing event was discovered by the
father of the homeowner when he tried to go into his son’s home to
continue to handle the affairs of his late son’s estate.
The problem has become worse for the homeowner because after having
their home seized illegally, JP Morgan Chase reneged on an agreed
settlement offer for a payment and deed in lieu of foreclosure for the
home. On June 6th 2012, JP Morgan Chase was no longer offering the agreed
to $34,500, now they were going to give the family $1 for title to the
home.
“JP Morgan Chase has been in the news an awful lot lately. The
week they announced losing billions of shareholder dollars was the same
week they wrongfully broke into Jason’s home and changed the locks. To
have lost a foreclosure action, abandoned a contractual obligation to
pay $34,500 and to have trespassed into a home can only be described as
chutzpah” added Mr. Deutsch.
“What is outrageous about this is that today as JPMorgan Chase CEO
Jamie Dimon testifies before the Senate Banking Committee about how his
bank’s trading loss of $2 billion is business as usual, the very same
bank is illegally taking some one’s home, also as business as usual. At
best, this situation was caused by a gross miscommunication within a
bank that is too big to fail. At worst a purported agent of the bank
committed a trespass. I have been defending unwarranted mortgage
foreclosures for more than 3 years. This is an especially troublesome
incident, ” says attorney Joshua Denbeaux.
“Thankfully, our clients did the right thing in this situation, they
filed a police report of the incident and immediately contacted our
office to begin the process of getting back possession of the home and
the personal property within,” concluded Adam Deutsch, an attorney at
Denbeaux & Denbeaux.
