BREAKING NEWS —
Whether you’ve caught wind of this or not, Missouri Attorney Greg Leyh will have a shot in front of a rural Missouri county jury to convince them that Wells Fargo’s (and others’) actions in wrongfully foreclosing against David and Crystal Holm of Clinton County warrant serious money damages.

Because of Wells Fargo’s evasive actions to thwart discovery, the county judge sanctioned Wells Fargo by striking their pleadings and preventing them from (1) presenting any evidence at trial; (2) objecting to the Holms’ evidence; and (3) cross-examining any of the Holm’s witnesses. Wells Fargo maintained it never waived its right to a jury trial. The circuit judge denied their request, held a bench trial, and entered judgment in favor of the Holms, quieting title to their home.

The trial court judgment in the Holms case that was issued January 26, 2015, indicates the Holms property was sold at auction on August 15, 2008. Their legal odyssey began before that event.
Since the auction, as of today, there has passed:
8 years, 7 months
91 months
447 weeks and 5 days
3134 days
75,216 hours
4,512,960 minutes
270,777,600 seconds
By any measure it is a long time. Apparently they are finished yet.
Even in contested cases the banks win by attrition most of the time.
I’m glad these folks are still hanging in.
