City Of Bridgeport Withdraws Foreclosure Suit After Homeowner Forks Over $50 In Back Taxes

In Bridgeport, Connecticut, The Connecticut Post reports:

• The city has withdrawn its foreclosure case against a man who owed $51.69 in back taxes. Castro Jean-Gilles paid the charge and the city agreed to drop the case. [...] In May, a Superior Court judge granted the city's foreclosure action and ordered Jean-Gilles's Harral Avenue home sold in December to satisfy the back taxes as well as the $2,705 in lawyer fees and foreclosure costs. Court records show that prior to the foreclosure ruling, nearly $3,000 in back taxes were paid on the house, leaving a balance of $51.69. Jean-Gilles told the Connecticut Post that his bank had been paying his taxes and that he had reported this to the city tax collector's office. However, the foreclosure case went forward.
