Fulton County Sheriff's deputies and a moving company hired by the bank showed up at Vita Lee's Penelope Road home on Tuesday, according to a report on WSBTV.com.
Deutsche Bank apparently holds the mortgage that is being serviced locally by Chase, the station reported. The planned eviction was reportedly the latest move in a legal battle that dates back years. But when the men saw the frail woman, they opted to leave instead of carry through with the forced move, WSBTV.com reported.
