HANNIBAL, OSWEGO COUNTY — A Hannibal woman is suing a bank and property management company claiming they “jumped the gun” on a foreclosure and ransacked her home.
In a claim filed in State Supreme Court, Mattia McIntyre accuses Safeguard Properties LLC of illegally breaking into her house at 24 Cemetery Drive while she was away on December 21st, 2010 and removing “each and every item of personal property… as well as fixtures” and the “contents of a large storage building located into the backyard.” McIntyre claims her belongings were thrown into an exposed dumpster in the middle of winter and later “hauled away to whereabouts.”
The lawsuit claims Safeguard Properties was hired by Citimortgage Inc. at a time when she was negotiating a refinance on her home for falling behind in her payments. The lawsuit claims at the time Citimortgage had not formally foreclosed on the property.
