			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Washington Mutual auctioned off a woman&#8217;s Homestead, Florida home.  By accident.  Whoopsies. </p>
<p>The woman came home to find her belongings trashed and spread all over her front lawn and street.  When she went into the home, the would-be purchaser demanded that she leave.   When the woman&#8217;s husband, children and grandchildren came to help, the cops came and threw them out too.  Literally, this woman was thrown out of her own home, and left homeless for 24 hours! </p>
<p>To make matters worse (and add insult to injury), the man was able to purchase the home at auction for $87,000.  She had previously paid $260,000.  </p>
<p>Could it be?  Another banking industry folly? Apparently not &#8211; the mistake was actually due to an error in the Miami-Dade Clerk&#8217;s office.  A Miami judge ultimately reversed the sale.  She is stuck having to sue for damages related to the destruction of her furniture and property.<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img alt="bank auction home house foreclosure" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/agencyspy/original/wamushirtsux.jpg" title="Another banking industry error?" width="200" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">bank auction home house foreclosure</p></div></p>
