  "account": "In a devastating fire in Drammen, Norway, on July 17, 2021, a couple lost their first home. Daylevon Karl Bucnag, 24, and Ailene Aguilar, 30, from the Philippines, found their home engulfed in flames. Despite having various insurance policies like health, car, and life, they were unaware that their home was not covered. Out of 116 homes destroyed, 16 did not have insurance. The couple claims that DNB, the bank that provided their mortgage, failed to meet its legal obligations. The bank provided them with a list of insurance options, and they assumed all was covered. However, they only purchased personal insurance, not the home insurance they believed they had. DNB denies the claim and insists that the couple is responsible for verifying their insurance. The bank has offered to avoid legal confidentiality to comment on the case. Both Bucnag and Aguilar are now struggling with the loss, dealing with depression and financial burdens. They continue to pay rent on their former home while seeking a resolution.",
