A southern Florida couple got sweet revenge when they foreclosed on Bank of America, instead of the other way around.
The unusual turn of events started in Collier County months ago, when the mega-bank notified Maurenn Nyergers and her husband that their comfortable, relatively new home had gone into foreclosure.
Trouble is, the Nyergers say they never owed the bank a cent, swearing instead that they had paid cash for their dwelling.

A Collier County judge agreed with the couple, and ordered Bank of America to pay their legal expenses.
But then, the Nyergers say they waited more than five months for a check.

The family's lawyer, Todd Allen, told CBS: 'They've ignored our calls, ignored our letters, legally this is the next step to get my clients compensated'.
So Mr Allen moved to seize the bank branch's assets.

He instructed sheriff's deputies and movers to remove desks, computers, copiers, filing cabinets and 'any cash in the teller's drawers'.
Bank employees were locked out for about an hour.
Mr Allen said the branch manager appeared 'visibly shaken' and bewildered.
He then handed the lawyer a check for the legal fees owed.

6. At the risk of detracting from a win here...

...the proceedings were against a single small-town branch office.

Doesn't affect the decision-makers at BoA who pucsh these practices in the slightest.

8. When the story makes national news

the banksters will get the message. It might be useful for people in this situation to find ways to sue for punitive damages, as well. That will also get their attention.

7. Did they also sieze Mr. Banker of America's pants in the front lot?
