BofA and the Parrot: Bird’s Eye View of the Foreclosure Mess

Who is supposed to pay for all the damage, let alone the inconvenience or emotional stress

“It isn’t about the parrot,” a lawyer for Angela Iannelli told me.


In her suit, filed Monday in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, Ms. Iannelli says a contractor hired by Bank of America entered her house about 15 miles north of Pittsburgh in mid-October when she was away. In what it describes as an “invasion” of the home, the lawsuit says that the contractor stopped utility services, cut water lines and electrical wiring, damaged flooring and finishings, poured antifreeze into sinks and toilets and “stole” the parrot.
