BEND, Ore. (AP) — A Bend soldier on leave from Iraq returned home Tuesday to find the home where he lives with his father had been sold earlier that day back to the bank in a foreclosure.

KTVZ reports (http://bit.ly/r6wqJ9 ) Aaron Collette and his father Tim will enjoy the home they’ve shared the past four years for a couple more days before they expect an eviction notice.

Tim Collette says he expects to file a lawsuit. He says he has put more than $125,000 into the house. He started missing mortgage payments when his construction business was hit by the economic downturn.

Chase Bank won’t comment on Collette’s situation because of privacy laws.
