VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — A Volusia County veteran said he and his family are facing eviction because Bank of America illegally sold his home.
Scott Farmer is heading to court Wednesday to continue his battle against Bank of America.
"It's just been a roller coaster, up and down," said Farmer.
According to Farmer, his troubles began in 2007 when he fell ill and decided to file for a loan modification, which by law is supposed to stop any pending foreclosure.
But the airline pilot said Bank of America foreclosed on his home anyway.
"I get a letter in the mail saying my home was sold for I think it was a hundred dollars," said Farmer.
He said another issue that should have saved his home is a duplicate note used in the foreclosure. State law indicates bank have to produce the original note in order to foreclose.
"The banks seem to have all the cards," said Farmer.
A Volusia County judge is expected to decide Wednesday if the foreclosure of his home was legal.
"That's for service to your country and your president," said Farmer, who was once awarded the Presidential Service Certificate by President Ronald Reagan.
Eyewitness News tried to contact Bank of America but wasn't able to get in touch with anyone. Farmer's court hearing is scheduled for Wendesday afternoon at the Volusia County Courthouse.
