Banks Fighting Subpoenas From FHFA Over Access to Loan Files

Whilst researching something else I ran across the following article first published in 2010. Upon reading it, it bears repeating. Get a consult! 202-838-6345 https://www.vcita.com/v/lendinglies to schedule CONSULT, leave message or make payments.   THIS ARTICLE IS NOT A LEGAL OPINION UPON WHICH YOU CAN RELY IN ANY INDIVIDUAL CASE. HIRE A LAWYER. —————- WHAT IF THE LOANS WERE NOT ACTUALLY SECURITIZED? In a nutshell this is it. The Banks are fighting the subpoenas because if there is actually an audit of the “content” of the pools, they are screwed across the board. My analysis of dozens of pools has led

MEDIATIONS, MODIFICATIONS, SHORT-SALES AND SETTLEMENTS

SERVICES YOU NEED AUTHORITY AND AGENCY In “Fair Game” Gretchen Morgenson continues to unravel the failing process of “saving homes” while the world ignores the simple truth that legally the homes are in no jeopardy but for the pranks and illusions created by the pretender lenders. There is no valid foreclosure, auction, mediation, modification, short-sale, satisfaction of mortgage, release and re-conveyance, or even settlement with a party to whom the money is not owed and a party owning no rights under the security instrument (the mortgage or deed of trust). It is all an illusion given reality by repetition not

GMAC HALTS FORECLOSURES ADMITTING FALSE AFFIDAVITS

SERVICES YOU NEED From testimony in a Chase case, same as dozens of others I have seen —- Q. So if you didn’t review any books, records, and documents or computerized records, how is it that you had personal knowledge of all the matters contained therein? A. Well, I have personal knowledge that my staff has personal knowledge. That is our process. KEEP IN MIND that these admitted facts now are the same facts treated with incredulity and derision from the bench and opposing counsel. The Judges were wrong. The foreclosures were wrong. Now what? How will homeowners and counsel

44 Million in Poverty and Climbing

WE ARE FAST APPROACHING THIRD WORLD STATUS, FORMER WORLD LEADER. AND THE REASON IS SIMPLE, WALL STREET OWNS THE GOVERNMENT PROCESS. THE RESULT IS THAT THE ONLY RIGHTFUL STIMULUS PACKAGE THAT WOULDN’T COST THE TAXPAYERS A DIME IS BEING BLOCKED. WAKE UP, AMERICA! IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY! THE RIGHTFUL RETURN OF EQUITY TO HOMEOWNERS AMOUNTING TO TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS (WITHOUT A DIME MORE FROM TAXPAYERS) WOULD PRODUCE ALL THE STIMULUS NECESSARY TO JUMP START OUR ECONOMY FROM REVERSE GEAR TO FORWARD.

UNDISCLOSED MIDDLE: Repurchase Obligation in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement

FROM ANONYMOUS, MY FAVORITE CONTRIBUTOR 🙂 EDITOR’S NOTE: I would be better off and so would our readers if I could be as succinct in my writing as Anonymous. Somehow it always takes me longer to say what he does in a few sentences. Use HIS version instead of mine whenever possible. My version is more academic and runs the risk of putting the Judge to sleep. This piece written by Anonymous underscores the BASIC point that needs to be made from the start: the TOTAL agreement between lender and borrower consists of far more than the loan closing documents.

Taxation of Securitized Trusts

TAXATION OF SECURITIZED TRUSTS(2) For those litigators advanced enough in their knowledge of accounting and taxation, you will uncover here and upon closer search of this blog and other resources that a rich store of materials can be used to great effect in attacking the pretender lenders, but you really must know what you are talking about and you must pick your choice of strategy very carefully. Since our friends are not the only ones reading this blog, I will reserve further comment for those who retain expert services.

MOVING INTO FIRST POSITION: PRIORITY OF LIENS

livinglies-general-store livinglies-newsletter-provides-more-strategic-info IF YOU HAVE A SECOND MORTGAGE, HELOC OR OTHER JUNIOR LIEN ON YOUR PROPERTY (LIKE AN ASSOCIATION LIEN FOR NON-PAYMENT OF MAINTENANCE), THAT MIGHT JUST BE YOUR TICKET OUT OF THIS MESS. I would add that if you are the holder or the attorney for the holder of junior liens, you should pay careful attention, because it is possible if not likely that you will have an opportunity to improve the value of that lien and at the same time clear the title with the homeowner such that the predatory loan defenses and title defenses disappear forever.

MERS-Deutsch Slammed on Quiet Title

9.09.10 NY MERS NO AUTHORIY DISMISSED MERS tried to Quiet Title. In so doing they paved the way for millions of homeowners to sue MERS to quiet title. The net result is that the encumbrance is invalid. That means the debt, the obligation, MIGHT exist, but it is NOT secured by the home. I’d say I told you so, but that would be immature. 🙂 All of that is important but Judge Jeffrey Arlen Spinner went a lot further and made his mark on the issue of bogus affidavits that say nothing but which are used by foreclosure mill attorneys

Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud? Possible Cause of Action Against Pretenders and Attorneys

Editor’s Comment: This reminds me of the end of Grisholm’s Book “The firm”. It’s not sexy but it has lots of teeth. The quote below is from Wikipedia. I was talking to an old friend of mine about the securitization scam which continues as an on-going process, first in the form of “closing” alleged loans and now in the form of foreclosures. It seems that the use of electronic media sent through the internet, like spreadsheets with misinformation on it, and which is part of a scheme wherein money is wired and illicit profits are earned, may be a crime

LABOR DAY ABYSS

EDITOR’s comment: Everyone seems to agree that nobody really knows the identity of the creditor in the millions of mortgage transactions that were created from 2001 to 2008. Yet the general consensus from the administration and the media is that these transactions should be enforced anyway. The idea of enforcing a transaction in which only one of the parties is known is enough to  make the authors of any of the major legal treatises turn over in their graves. It is so obviously ridiculous that one need not consult the United States Constitution on due process, nor any statute or

If You Have a MERS Mortgage – Here is Their Deposition

36521121-Full-Deposition-of-William-Hultman-Secretary-and-Treasurer-of-MERSCORP[1] THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT YOU WON’T FIND ANY MONEY, YOU WON’T FIND ANY DOCUMENTS, AND YOU WON’T FIND ANYTHING OF VALUE, TANGIBLE OR INTANGIBLE AT MERS. THERE IS NOTHING — AT THE BEGINNING, IN THE MIDDLE AND NOW AT THE END. THE WHOLE THING WAS A SHAM, THE CHILD OF SOME FLEETING THOUGHT AT THE RATING AGENCIES THAT HAD NO MERIT, THAT WAS NOT LEGAL AND COMMITTED THE PLAYERS TO FRAUDULENT ACTS AND DECEPTIVE PRACTICES FROM START TO FINISH. IN THE PROCESS THEY NOT ONLY ROBBED INVESTORS AND PENSIONERS, BORROWERS AND HOMEOWNERS, BUT EVERY PURPORTED SUCCESSOR IN INTEREST

REad This: Now We are Getting Down to Business

My only comment is that this is an excellent piece of reporting by Bernstein and Eisinger at ProPublica that should be read and used as the basis for understanding what is going into your legal memorandums across the country. GREAT JOB!! 2010/08/29 at 1:52 am The Wall Street Money Machine Banks’ Self-Dealing Super-Charged Financial Crisis by Jake Bernstein and Jesse Eisinger ProPublica, Aug. 26, 10:09 p.m. Over the last two years of the housing bubble, Wall Street bankers perpetrated one of the greatest episodes of self-dealing in financial history.

NY J Shack Does it Again

In my June 3, 2008 decision and order in this matter, I granted leave to plaintiff, THE BANK OF NEW YORK, AS TRUSTEE FOR THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS CWALT, INC. ALTERNATIVE LOAN TRUST 2006-OC1 MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES, [*2]SERIES 2006-OC1 (BNY), to renew its application for an order of reference within forty-five (45) days, until July 18, 2008, if it complied with three conditions. However, plaintiff did not make the instant motion until May 4, 2009, 335 days after June 3, 2008, and failed to offer any excuse for its lateness. Therefore, the instant motion is 290 days, almost ten months, late. Further,

Judges Rising to the Rules

Editor’s Comment: Without inventing anything, an increasing number of Judges are coming to the same conclusion. If they apply the rules and deny the pretender lender the benefit of presumptions to which they were not entitled in the first place, the case can be heard on the merits. They don’t need to decide who is right or who is wrong. They need to call balls and strikes. In this submission from 4closurefraud.com the Judge simply states the obvious — an affidavit from some stranger who says that he looked at some papers and arrived at some conclusions in his or

New strategy attacks validity of affidavits

Foreclosure Crisis New strategy attacks validity of affidavits August 26, 2010 hen it comes to fighting foreclosures, homeowners and their lawyers may have found a new strategy to score courtroom victories. Defense lawyers across the state are increasingly attacking the validity of affidavits that owners of notes must file with the courts as part of the foreclosure process. Attorneys like Dustin Zacks, of the firm Ice Legal in West Palm Beach, are successfully arguing that plaintiffs — usually a trust that owns the note or the servicer of the note — are violating court rules by filing affidavits with no

Max Gardner’s Top Reasons for Wanting a Pooling Servicing Agreement

EDITOR’S NOTE: Lest people think I invented this whole field of law just because I’m loudest about it, here is a post from Max Gardner, who only a few days after I started this blog had already figured out everything I had figured out and was already doing something about it. Max Gardner’s Top Reasons for Wanting a Pooling Servicing Agreement Monday, November 5th, 2007 Every time I file a civil action against a mortgage servicer the very first document I want is a copy of the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement.”  This is the legal document that creates the securitized

FED BANS YIELD SPREAD PREMIUMS

A YIELD SPREAD PREMIUM IS A FEE PAID TO A BROKER FOR CREATING A FRAUDULENT PROFIT BY LYING TO THE CUSTOMER WHO BUYS A FINANCIAL PRODUCT. This particular lie would be about the rate on the loan. One would think this was already illegal and one would be right. Not only is it specified in the Truth in Lending Act and other state and federal laws governing deceptive lending practices, it is also covered by RICO and common law actions for fraud. YSP fees and other forms of undisclosed compensation, of which there were many, are all illegal. These fees

Maine Supreme Court Invalidates MERS Standing

MAINE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT    Reporter of Decisions MERS v Saunders Law Court decision[1] Decision: Docket: Argued: Decided: Panel: 2010 ME 79 Cum-09-640 June 15, 2010 August 12, 2010 SAUFLEY, C.J., and ALEXANDER, LEVY, SILVER, MEAD, GORMAN, and JABAR, JJ. MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. v. JON E. SAUNDERS et al. The good news is that we have yet another state Supreme Court invalidating the legal standing of MERS. But there are many other lessons to be learned from this decision. The main lesson for litigants without legal representation is that the sophistication of legal and procedural arguments has reached a

Countrywide settlement pays fraction to investors – Shell Game Continues

EDITOR’S NOTE: The shell game continues. While the media picks up stories about “settlements” giving rise to the presumption that Countrywide Home Loans and Bank of America and the rest of the securitization players committed various violations of statutes, duties, rules and regulations, the main point gets lost. Where is this money going and WHY? What is the tacit or express admission in paying that money and what effect does it have on the average homeowner sitting with a loan whose obligation is being paid in these settlements? Think about it. If Bank of America, which now owns Countrywide, is
