More
than a year after some of the country's largest banks were castigated for
foreclosing on homes owned by active-duty members of the military, a local Navy
petty officer still believes he is not being protected under the law.
Wells
Fargo obtained a final judgment of foreclosure against 30-year-old Tyrone
Johnson last August — something his attorney claims violates the Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act.
"There
are extra steps a bank is supposed to go through before they even begin a
foreclosure proceeding," said Trent Steele, a Hobe Sound attorney
representing Johnson.
He
doesn't believe Wells Fargo and its law firm, Florida Default Law Group, took
those steps when they went after the eastern Port St. Lucie home Johnson bought
for $190,500.
