Bank Illegally Ransacks Home & Changes Locks, Says Homeowner In $150K+ Lawsuit

In Central Oregon, KATU-TV reports:

• Tammy Glenn’s central Oregon home on Pine Hollow reservoir has always brought her peace and happiness. The small A-frame home is right on the water, and it’s been a relaxing break from the everyday grind of running her hardware business – until now. “My whole sense of security has been rattled to say the least,” Glenn told KATU News. Rattled, Glenn says, because her mortgage company entered her home three times, ransacked everything, and changed her locks – all without her knowledge.

• The reason Chase Bank gave her? They thought the home was vacant and abandoned. Glenn says that not even close to the actual situation. [...] Now, she's suing Chase Mortgage for more than $150,000.(1)
