Foreclosure Public Notice Lists Incorrect Address; Crowd Flocks To Wrong Home

In Rockett, Texas, WFAA-TV reports:

• In one Ellis County community, a small mistake has left Larry Bivins with a big concern. "I didn't believe they could make that big of a mistake,” the homeowner said of the mistake that has turned into a big hassle. “And then, when I tried to get it corrected, they wouldn't correct it." For a week now, people have stopped in front of Bivins' house to look at his property.

***

• But on the courthouse steps in Waxahachie, official notices list Bivins' home as up for auction next Tuesday. The problem is that it's the wrong owner listed on the document. While it's not Bivins’ legal property description, it is clearly his address, [...] that now attracts potential buyers who don't know they're looking at the wrong house.
