Welcome to the foreclosure Twilight Zone, where a distressed homeowner struggles to save his property from bank repossession, while at the same time, attempts to evict the illegal Occupy Wall Street protesters who set up shop in his living room when he (unwisely) decided to leave.
Such is the curious case of Wise Ahadzi, a single father with two young girls, who vacated his house in Brooklyn, N.Y., when he could no longer afford to pay the mortgage. He apparently didn’t realize that he could remain in the home until the foreclosure was complete. In fact, the lender has recently confirmed that he is still the rightful owner of the property until the foreclosure process has run its full course.
Meanwhile, “Occupy” members targeted his house and vowed to fix it up and move in a new family, looking make a bold statement against the major financial institutions that the movement blames for the current economic crisis in the United States.
Ahadzi, according to the New York Post, was “livid” when authorities alerted him about the situation. He’s since pleaded with the protesters to fight for him, since you know, it is his house, but he was told “he doesn’t qualify” for assistance because he is not homeless — he moved to a “meager” two-bedroom apartment nearby while he sorted out his “mortgage nightmare.”
Unreal.
It’s unclear why authorities have not removed the protesters from the home and restored it to Ahadzi.
Regardless, Ahadzi is now fighting a two-front battle: Evicting the illegal squatters who laid claim to his property and negotiating a potential resolution on a mortgage in default to save a house in which other people illegally live.
And there’s no guarantee, when all is said and done, that he can win them both, if any at all.
Bizarro.
