QUESTION

Do I have a case?

Asked on Feb 17th, 2015 on Consumer Fraud - Florida
More details to this question:
I was in active foreclosure and was in the final stages of short sale approval. The bank opened a false insurance claim against the property that effectively ended the short sale process. As we tried to get the house back on the market, squatters broke into the house, set it on fire and it was no longer sellable. The lender then kept the insurance money and did nothing to the house. I had to file for BK to move forward. These actions by the lender caused me to be delayed with moving on with my life for almost 4 years and caused deep psychological problems for me. Is there anything that can be done against them?
