I remember feeling like the book put me into a literature-induced funk.  Of course, I couldn't put it down, but I just remember feeling icky.  LOL.

And for that reason alone I had no desire to see the movie.

I would sue as well. Grave emotional distress, etc. etc.

I feel the same way about Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, etc). Very good books but made me feel like I needed an intravenous Prozac drip to get through them.

thread-jack over; back to our regularly-scheduled programming...

Your friend should definitely talk to a lawyer. The company will likely settle. If every time they goof up it costs them thousands of dollars maybe they'll start double checking information and this won't happen to other innocent people.

As is ALWAYS the case..although Ben Kingsley did a really good job in portraying that complex character, no?

I have A Thousand Splendid Suns sitting on my desk for over a year...is it as good as KiteRunner? I have to prepare for the emotional upheaval, these kinds of books take a lot out of me. Also, did either of you read The Alchemist? What a great book, for all ages too. .

If there was real threading in the format folks could skip over this sidebar. ;-)

Lo and behold! Just in the nick of time for the OP's friend: A new website called WhoCanISue.com You can check out the story on the DrudgeReport. The website apparently links folks with possible cases to lawyers who would presumably handle them etc.

Even if your friend isn't interested in getting money out of the chuckleheads that messed up, suing helps increase the chances that they'll be more careful in the future.

If he doesn't want any rewards, he could donate the payment to Habitat for Humanity or something.

In this case, it wasn't the police's fault. They were simply going by information provided by the lender.

it wasn't a specific ref to this incident, just in general.

Also, bear in mind that if ANYONE was to catch this, besides the lender, it should have been the COURT system. The lender had to follow a legal process before actually foreclosing. FTR, a JUDGE was supposed to review the documentation INCLUDING payment history (since the lender has to PROVE that a foreclosure is legally a warranted remedy). And that JUDGE should have caught that, even if the lender fudged up.

depending on the process for this particular state the judge or courts agent may not ever see the actual property, let alone be there for the actual execution of the order. it's all paper on the court's end and in this particular incident (as i read it) the crony for/from the bank just flat fudged up.

The police were simply assuming that everyone else prior had done their job: lender AND court system.

again, not totaly sure a police or court presence was on scene when the "eviction" order was executed.

Pizza: I hope your friend thinks about what judge he votes for next election!!! o_O

But the only people your friend can sue is the lender. Everyone else in the equation is protected as long as the damage was intentional and with malicious intent.

i think the list is a lot longer. lendor, lendor's agent who executed the eviction, locksmith, only a lawer's imagination would be able to limit the liable individuals/entities.

Bottom line: the police and judge who ordered the F/C have immunity.

in this instance, yes. however let a pd get a warrant for 123 apt a and kick in the door at 123 apt b and the immunity is gone.
