Bank of America is moving to foreclose upon the home where Caylee Anthony once lived with her mother and grandparents.

George and Cindy Anthony said they did not know that the papers had been filed until Local 6 News reporter Mike DeForest brought it to their attention on Monday.

According to the foreclosure filing, the Anthonys had not made a mortgage payment in nine months.

"I don't know really why they have foreclosure because I heard also they went on a trip," the Anthony's neighbor, Roxanna Mercado, said. Mercado said she was surprised to learn the Anthony's are so far behind on their mortgage.

"You don't have money to pay your home but you have to go on a cruise, that's weird," Mercado said.

The Anthonys' attorney, Brad Conway, said his clients' granddaughter's death contributed to them losing the house that Casey Anthony called home from the age of 3, where she raised Caylee, and where she was eventually arrested in connection with her daughter's death.

The Anthonys have owned the Hopespring Drive property since 1989, but four years ago they refinanced their home for $121,000. According to the filing, they still owe nearly all of that money.

Bank of America said that since June 2009, the Anthonys have failed to make their $785 monthly payments.

Conway attributed the couple's latest financial problems to the notoriety of the case and the emotional toll caused by their granddaughter's slaying.

Cindy Anthony told prosecutors that she had to leave her job because of stress-related medical problems and has been on disability for more than a year.

Meanwhile, George Anthony -- like many others in this economy -- is having difficulty finding work, said Conway, who added that George Anthony has an added difficulty because he is instantly recognized and rejected by most employers either because of who he is or because companies fear he may bring unwanted media attention.

Many had speculated that the Anthonys were profiting off book and movie deals, but Conway said this foreclosure proves that never occurred.

Even though they have lived in the house for more than 20 years, Hopespring Drive did not become a household name until summer 2008. After Casey Anthony's first and subsequent arrests, protesters were at the house day and night.

Neighbors said they paid the price. Mercado said she tried to rent her home, but the name of the street drove tenants away.

"The damage is already done," Mercado said. "It's something that the people always are going to remember right now and it affects the area."

The Anthonys said they plan to do all they can to save their home, if only to preserve the place where Caylee spent her life.

Casey Anthony, 23, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in Caylee's death. Caylee was 2 years old when she was reported missing July 2008, about a month after she was last seen alive.

Caylee's remains were found in a wooded lot near the Anthony family home in December 2008.

Casey Anthony has pleaded not guilty and has claimed that Caylee was kidnapped by a baby sitter.
