Kentucky Homeowner Keeps Finding Himself Targeted By Foreclosure Trash-Out Contractors Despite Not Being In Foreclosure

In Lexington, Kentucky, WLEX-TV Channel 18 reports:

• One group of movers hired by a mortgage foreclosure company to clean out a house say they didn’t find out the house wasn’t actually foreclosed until their moving truck was almost half full.
  
  They were cleaning out the house because everything left behind is cleared out when a bank forecloses a house.
  
  The only problem was this house wasn’t actually foreclosed.
  
  The homeowner called Sheriff Mark Bess Wednesday morning to tell them that the movers were there. “A neighbor called him and told him his house was being foreclosed upon and they were at the wrong address,” said Bess.
  
  LEX 18 Investigative Reporter, Richard Essex, was told that this is the third time movers have tried to clean out this house in two years.
  
  The movers have been ordered by the sheriff to put everything back as they found it and that they could face trespassing charges. “They have offered to make full restitution, replace anything that was damaged in their attempt to move items out of the residence,” said Bess.
  
  The sheriff says that if it hadn’t been for the neighbors, the house would have been completely cleaned out.
