A woman didn't know her home was foreclosed on and sold to the highest bidder in North Carolina.

According to the motion, the bidder phoned Rogers to inform her that he had purchased her house at an auction.

She lost her home and has been sleeping on a friend's couch.

Rogers' home was auctioned off after the homeowners association failed to properly serve her papers. The homeowner's association foreclosed on Rogers because she didn't pay her dues, though her attorney says she didn't know she was in the association.

She thought the man was joking when he told her he needed to know when she would be moving. She had already paid off the house.

According to the motion, the man bought the home for less than it was worth. Rogers' former home is currently worth about $520,000.

Her dispute with the HOA

The motion states that Rogers didn't know her home was part of the Irish Creek Section 2 Homeowners Association.

According to the motion, she fell behind on her payments and built up a large amount of debt.

According to a statement from the manager, the matter is subject of pending litigation and we will allow the lawyers and the court to work through the legal issues.

Russell Property Management was founded by Rocky Russell. Russell stated in his statement that Rogers probably received a welcome letter notifying her that she had to pay fees.

According to the motion, Rogers was forced to sell her home because she didn't pay her fees.

She was evicted from her home this summer and is trying to get back her house.

Neighbors allow the sale of the home

The motion states that Rogers was never properly notified of the legal proceedings that led to her home being foreclosed on.

Rogers got legal papers from a law office, but she thought they were junk mail, according to White.

Someone will eventually purchase the property through the foreclosure process if a homeowner ignores all of the above notices.

Russell said that the foreclosure process for Rogers' home went for an extended period of time due to the bidding of the property. Mail was sent to the registered owner when all of these back-and-forth bids were made.

According to the motion, members of the board that allowed the sale of the home were Rogers' neighbors.

A knock on the door, a phone call, something to tell her that her home was about to be sold would likely have stopped the sale. There was no attempt to notify Ms. Rogers.

A bidder buys the home

According to the motion, the highest bidder bought the home for the same company as Rogers.

Rogers didn't know the man before he sold the house, according to White.

According to the motion, the bidder made misrepresentations to obtain Rogers' phone number and called her at work.

Russell stated in his statement that the bidder may have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars more than the amount.

A judge will make a decision on the motion on December 9.

Rogers told her daughter that she was going to fight for the right thing.

State law governs homeowners associations in North Carolina. The federal government and a state agency are not responsible for the oversight of homeowner associations in the state.

A couple is being sued by a homeowners association over feeding ducks. The lawsuit is seeking a large sum of money.

The woman used the money for food and football.

The property manager took $500,000 in vacation pay.
