INDIANAPOLIS -- Bank of America is in the bull's-eye of a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in Marion County.

The complaint accused the bank of racketeering mortgage documents in order to crank out mass foreclosures, 6News' Rafael Sanchez reported.

Judy Canada of Indianapolis said she's a victim and a plaintiff named in the lawsuit.

Canada lived in a condo at 5506 Greenview Drive for more than 15 years. When the economy took a downturn, her finances changed and she fell behind on her payments for several months.

"I spent a year trying to save my condo not knowing they were working on a foreclosure," said Canada.

Canada said that she was working on a deal with the bank when she agreed to give up her deed, move and get $3,000 to relocate.

Despite those plans, she said her home was put up for a sheriff's sale last year.

Canada said she believes filing the lawsuit will get the bank's attention.

"Treat us like we are human beings, not numbers and pieces of paper," Canada said.

A Bank of America spokeswoman declined to comment on the lawsuit.

"It is our policy not to comment on pending litigation," the spokeswoman said.

Irwin Levin, a lawyer with Cohen & Malad, filed the complaint in Indianapolis on Thursday.

"The legal system was used to abuse the very people who allowed them to make the money," Levin said.

Levin explained that these kinds of cases are complex because they involve a tangled web of banks, investors and service providers.

"They had to suck homeowners into the system: food for their machine that would get them money. In the end, they cast these homeowners aside," Levin said.

Once Bank of America receives the lawsuit, it will have 20 days to respond.

It's possible a hearing on this case won't be heard until mid-April or May, Levin said.

Attorneys general from around the country including Indiana's are currently in the middle of an investigation involving several mortgage providers who used so called "robo-signers."

"Robo-signers" are the people who allegedly were hired to process massive amounts of foreclosures without actually reviewing an individual's paperwork.

There's no word on when the multistate investigation will release its findings.
