This must have been very satisfying.
A Florida couple turned the tables on a major bank that tried to falsely foreclose on their home -- and instead wound up foreclosing on the bank.
Warren and Maureen Nyerges' strange twist of fate occurred after Bank of America accused them of defaulting on a mortgage for their single-story, 2,700-square-foot home.
It turned out the Collier County couple had paid cash for the house and didn't have a mortgage.
After dismissing the bank's claim, a judge ordered bank to cough up $2,500 to cover the couple's attorney fees, but the check never came.
So the Nyerges followed the bank's example and went into a local branch Friday with sheriff's deputies, a moving company and an OK from the court to seize the bank's assets.
"I'm either leaving the building with a whole bunch of furniture, or a check or cash or something," insisted the Nyerges' attorney, Todd Allen.
The branch manager eventually cut them a $5,772.88 check to cover the couple's costs.
