Las Vegas Woman Victim of Foreclosure Mistake has her home Trashed Out!

With so many foreclosures taking place in America, I am surprised this doesn’t happen more often. Fortunately, it doesn’t happen often but when it does happen I think there should be severe punishments for that company.

A lady who was not in foreclosure had her home “trashed out” by accident. All her personal belongings are gone. The company that did this basically committed a crime. They are guilty of breaking and entering and theft of all her belongings. She should hire an attorney to file both civil and criminal charges against the trash out company, the real estate company, and anyone involved in the stealing of her property and illegally breaking and entering her home.

LAS VEGAS — A Las Vegas woman says she was the victim of a horrible mistake that left her with an empty condominium and a lot of questions.

Nilly Mauck lived in her condominium for two years and said she never had problem until a series of strange events eventually led to a company coming into her home and throwing away everything she owned.

As Mauck walks around her now empty condo, she can’t help but remember how things used to look. Every room in the home is empty and Mauck says the reason is a mistake of address numbers. Her address is 1157, which is close to 1156, a condo that is in foreclosure.

A few weeks ago, the foreclosed home was supposed to get locks changed but Mauck says that’s not what happened. “I came home to pick up something and there was a note on my door from the Brenkus Team of Keller and Williams Realty stating that they accidentally re-keyed the wrong door,” she said.

It was a problem Mauck thought was fixed, until she came home to find a man going into her home. Mauck says everything inside was missing.

She says she later learned her home had been trashed out, a process done to foreclosures where everything left inside is thrown away.

Mauck says she contacted the Brenkus Team. “I said give me $100,000 to $200,000 to replace my things because it will take time and that is being generous. And they said, ‘Ok, that is too much.’ She called me that day and told me they were only willing to give me $5,000,” she said. “My clothes, my wedding dress, baby pictures, wedding photos, my dishes, my towels, my jewelry, anything you could possibly have in your house. I kept asking them, ‘Where did you take my things because I was ready to go and dumpster dive,’ and they had no answer for me.”

She is now staying with friends, because she doesn’t want to go back to her condo. “I do not feel secure because I know someone has access to my door,” she said.

The Brenkus Team says their legal council has advised them not to make a statement at this time. The cleaning company involved also would not comment until after they contact their attorney.
