Bank Of America Gets PWNED
When Bank of America tried to foreclose on Collier County (FL) homeowners Warren and Maureen Nyerges home which they had paid for in full in cash, the couple went to court to prove they never had a mortgage to begin with, won their case, but Bank Of America ignored them and their court costs, so the couple got themselves an attorney and decided to 'foreclose' on one of their offices and sieze their property as means of payment, a totally legal last-resort move on their part.
Sweet! ;)

Seems to just be how banks are now
they do what they like with our money, if it goes horribly wrong the gov gives them more of our money, with which they they award themselves huge bonuses for pissing all our hard earned cash up the wall and change nothing, and give us as little in return as they can legally manage, unless you owe them, in which case, on your doorstep at 5am with their hand out and five attorneys in tow.
Same everywhere in the modern western world, and there is nothing we can do about it, the gov NEEDS them to keep working or the whole system collapses, so we're over a barrel. Of oil, I imagine.
Usually... hehehe! *gloats*

And for those in the UK...
...there's a similar thing you can do. If a company owes you more than about £750 then you can issue a "statutory demand", if this isn't paid in 21 days then you can get a winding up order issued on the company involved which means it has to cease trading and it doesn't matter how big the company is.
Granted, most companies pay up when they receive the statutory demand but it's a very good way of getting your money out of a company.
