On December 11, 2015 Brent Coon and Associates filed a lawsuit
against BKR Memorial, LLC Individually and D/B/A Memorial Heights at
Washington Apartments for money damages under the Texas Deceptive Trade
Practices — Consumer Protection Act.
On January 13, 2015, Katelyn McClelland and
Valerie Palmer executed a one year lease for an apartment at Memorial
Heights at Washington Apartments (Memorial Hights) at 201 S Heights
Blvd, Houston, Texas.
On their first night at the Memorial Heights apartments, Katelyn
McClelland and Valerie Palmer were bitten numerous times by bed bugs,
which required medical treatment. They immediately alerted property
management Midway Properties of the infestation. Instead of contacting
an exterminator and addressing the problem, Midway claimed that Ms.
McClelland and Ms. Palmer were responsible for bringing the bed bugs
into the apartment. The plaintiff's then personally paid for an
exterminator inspector to investigate the bed bugs. The inspector found
bed bugs, both living and dead along with shed exoskeletons around the
apartment. The investigation concluded the bed bugs were in the
apartment long before to Ms. McClelland and Ms. Palmer took residence in
the apartment.
Ms. McClelland and Ms. Palmer suffered numerous
bed bug bites which required medical attention. Ms. Palmar suffered over
55 bed bites alone. They both suffered an allergic reaction, in
addition to having to receive treatment from a dermatologist to prevent
permanent scarring. Ms. McClelland and Ms. Palmer incurred thousands of
dollars in out of pocket medical expenses. Both also required to pay
thousands of dollars in out of pocket expenses to replace the property
that they had to leave behind because of the infestation as much of the
property could not be saved and need to be replaced.
Additionally, both
women had to pay an exorbitant amount of money to have her clothes,
furniture, electronics and other items specially cleaned and treated.
McClelland and Palmer’s prior property was also
checked for bed bugs – none were found. “If there are no bed bugs at
your old apartment, and lots of old dead bed bugs along with many more
live bed bugs that are thriving in your new apartment – there is no room
for doubt as to where the bed bugs came from” said Bob Schwartz of
Brent Coon & Associates, the attorney representing both for
McClelland and Palmer. “Katelyn and Valerie are not trying to get rich
here, they simply are trying to get compensated for their damages and
suffering. Hopefully, the owners of the apartment will do the right
thing”

MERS Wins Rights to Assign Mortgages in California
MERSCORP announced that it had it's authority to assign mortgage following a ruling on Monday Oct, 5th.
For information on MERS, mortgage fruad lawsuits, visit our BCA Mortgage Fraud main website.
In Boyle vs. Bank of America, the homeowners sued Bank of America and MERS for fraud and wrongful foreclosure, claiming that the MERS deed of trust was invalid because MERS lacked any interest in the promissory note. The argument alleged that Bank of America could not foreclose because the assignment didn't have the right to foreclose. Three separate Federal Courts also upheld MERS rights.
