BOCA RATON, Fl. -
Thousands of homeowners in South Florida are fighting to keep their homes in
the wake of the robo-signing foreclosure scandal.
Thousands more have
already lost their houses.
"We never did
anything wrong from the start. We got caught up in the system," said
Lavoid Johnson, a homeowner in Boca Raton.
Johnson and his wife Lisa
are fighting to hold on to their dream after they say foreclosure paperwork
moved through the Palm Beach County court system without their knowledge.
Lavoid says they sent
their payments but for some reason the money was not received properly by the
mortgage service provider back in 2008.
After receiving help from
Deerfield Beach based Ticktin Law Group, the Johnsons learned a 9 page court
affidavit was being pushed through the court system, with what the Johnson’s
lawyer believes to be a robo-signed signature.
Johnson said, "If
you're going to tell me that you have a middle person that has actually signed
that document, I have more anger, I have more concerns because it tells me that
we're not the only ones."
The Johnsons are hardly the
only ones
