According to reports, a homeowner in Mississippi is facing a distressing situation after being deceived out of her property deed and forcefully evicted from her own house by a judge, per The Post.
Marcia Naylor, a resident of Olive Branch, had been grappling with financial difficulties following her husband’s passing. In an attempt to manage her expenses, she enlisted the assistance of a local company to secure a loan against her home. Unfortunately, a local judge deemed her a squatter and forcibly removed her from her residence, as reported by WREG News.
“He [told me] he would borrow money against my house to give me wiggle room,”
Naylor told the outlet.
“I didn’t sign anything. He asked me to share with him a copy of the deed of trust to my home.”
Naylor’s situation took a turn for the worse when she found herself summoned to court, revealing that she was scammed. She became a target of a fraudulent scheme that preys on homeowners by luring them into signing away their property deeds in exchange for quick cash from the property’s value. The scammers then file a
“quitclaim deed,”
effectively transferring ownership to themselves, as highlighted by the Mississippi Better Business Bureau in their conversation with WREG.
“[The judge] upholds that document and tells me I have to be out of my home and that I’ve been squatting in my home, I don’t know how long,”
she said. Instead of paying off her $19,000 debt, Naylor has decided to rent an apartment with her grandkids.
