KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Allan Danforth bought a house in a short sale in fall 2010. JP Morgan Chase held the previous owner's mortgage. Danforth said two months later, without notice, the bank changed the locks and hauled away $25,000 worth of furniture, appliances and family heirlooms.
"I had to bust in through the basement window here," Danforth said, pointing to the house that he was forced to break into more than 18 months ago.
He said JP Morgan Chase's contractor, Safeguard Properties, ignored "No Trespassing" signs on the garage, changed the locks on his home and cleaned it out two months after he paid cash for the property.
"It was basically stuff that was 150 years of family history," Danforth said. "I feel violated and I felt like the house wasn't even safe to go into for a while."
Danforth said Safeguard Properties could find his family heirlooms. He said JP Morgan Chase just gave him a runaround.
"They're the big bank and they don't care," he said.
"It's a wrong built upon wrongs," said attorney Tony Stein.
He said it's a wrongful foreclosure.
"We fully intend to go into court and have a Jackson County jury try to decide the eventual outcome of this case in the only language JP Morgan Chase understands," Stein said. "The language of money."
In his lawsuit, Stein accuses JP Morgan Chase of theft, trespassing and reckless indifference.
Jackson County court records show that on Sept. 9, the previous homeowners transferred the house to Danforth. The bank signed off 12 days later.
"For the very company to release their deed of trust and thereby release all their rights against this property, and then two months later, send in a company to clean this thing out? You'll have to ask them why they'd do something like that," Stein said. "It defies logic."
Danforth and his attorney said the bank has ignored their letters. When KMBC investigated the case, a spokeswoman for JP Morgan Chase had a response.
"We made a paperwork mistake when the property was sold, which resulted in our service partner changing the locks and winterizing the property to ensure its security," the statement said.
The company did not comment how it plans to settle the dispute.

The bank should be criminally liable for this. I don't see how you can call it a clerical error. The guy paid for his home in CASH, didn't even have a mortgage! :shake:

I recently had a bad experience with JP Morgan Chase.
I honestly feel they are criminal in their operation. That company acts with impunity due to their size.

I think I'll start robbing places and just calling it an error. Let's see how much loot I can grab.

"Winterizing the property" apparently is bank code for "robbed the place blind." Jesus. :shake:
