Another Problem with Provest...Says they Served Deceased Homeowner with Foreclosure!
Provest is at it again...according to a report from the Orlando Sun-Sentinel, Provest just did the impossible, it served a foreclosure suit to a homeowner who was already dead! According to the lawyer representing the deceased defendant, a Provest representative served the homeowner on April 21, 2011, the only problem being that the homeowner died on August 4, 2010. Provest introduced the falsified proof of service document to the court, showing that the company properly served the defendant.
The processor server in the case has stated that when she attempted to serve the deceased homeowner, a person came to the door and when she asked if he was the person she was looking for, he said yes. The process server said the law does not require her to check a person's ID, so she served the papers and left. In a foreclosure proceeding where a homeowner is deceased, a lender must ask the court to appoint an administrator to the case and serve the suit to the administrator.
This is just the latest in a long line of fraudulent service complaints against Provest.
