IndyMac Intent On Foreclosing On 89-Year Old Widow, Despite Two Court Orders Telling Them To Stop

In Oakland, California, Courthouse News Service reports:

• Indymac Bank and its successor, One West Bank, keep trying to foreclose on an elderly widow's house despite two court orders telling them to stop, the 89 year-old woman says in Alameda County Court, Oakland. She says stress from the repeated threats of foreclosure made her husband depressed and may have contributed to his death. Irene Jones says foreclosure proceedings on her Oakland home were halted twice, first by an order restraining Indymac from foreclosing in February 2008, then by a second order invalidating Indymac's foreclosure proceedings in March 2009. Nonetheless, Jones says Indymac and One West notified her they would begin foreclosing again in October.

• She demands quiet title and damages of $350,000 for elder abuse, negligence, distress and suffering, punitive damages, and an injunction telling the bank to stop trying to take away her house.
