A Massachusetts couple is hailing the Bank of America to court for wrongfully seizing their fully-paid retirement house in Springville, Florida, which is the third time within the past four months that the bank had committed a faux pas in foreclosing alleged ‘repossessed’ properties.

Construction worker Charlie Cordoso recalled that he and his wife, Maria, acquired the house in 2005 and regularly visits the place on vacation tours to the southern state but the couple was surprised when they discovered last month that their belongings were hauled out from the property.

Worst, the Cordosos could not gain entry on their house as they were informed that the Bank of America had repossessed the property, which came as a puzzle since the house was purchased without any mortgage, much so without any dealings with the bank.

The Portuguese couple explained that their retirement getaway was bought using their cash savings, leaving them to grasp for any possibility on how the Bank of America was able to maneuver in locking them out form their fully-owned property.

Yet they were not alone as the same bank seized the properties of two homeowners from Kentucky and Texas, employing the same manner and all within the span of only four months.

The eerie similarities of the three cases were all present: all properties were paid in full and the Bank of America was not even a contracting party for any mortgage services on the locked-out houses.

As in the two cases that preceded them, the Cordosos were bent to pursue a damage suit as Charlie lamented that all the clothing and furniture they invested on the property have yet to be recovered.

More so, he believed that the bank must apologize for its unjust actions, which almost effectively eradicated the hardships and efforts that the couple jointly poured in improving the property.

However, the Cordosos have yet to personally hear from the Bank of America though an ABC report stated that a representative from the bank has sent feelers to settle the matter.

ABC said that Bank of America spokesman Rick Simon revealed that they were already discussing the matter with the Cordosos’ lawyers as he stressed that they want “to have the opportunity to work with them to properly assess and address their allegations.”

On the other hand, Simon claimed that the two other lawsuits filed by the Kentucky and Texas homeowners lack sufficient substance to stand in court, pointing to third party mistakes as the possible causes of the problem.

He cited the Kentucky case as an example where a local company apparently pursued the foreclosure move prompting the bank to lodge an argument before the courts, which stated that the Bank of America should not be held liable on mistakes arising from entities or individuals, for which the bank was not a party.
