Foreclosure cases are overwhelming the Lee County court system. Since January 2006, 32,665 foreclosures were filed. Charlie Green, the Clerk of Courts, says 11,558 have been resolved and 21,107 are pending. "It's a situation we've never seen before," Green said Tuesday during a Lee County Board of Commissioners meeting.
Most foreclosures linger in the system for about six months, according to a courthouse employee. All this extra work on foreclosures requires the court to put other civil matters on hold.
Now, the court plans to devote a courtroom three days a week to hear nothing but foreclosure cases. According to Green, one in 64 houses in Lee County is in foreclosure. by NBC2 NEWS.
