BOA "SENIOR COLLECTOR": "I lied because I was told to lie."

Want to know why the blog is called “Living Lies”? Then read this:

see affidavit.boa3.djk

see also Memorandum to Certify Class: Editor’s Note: This is where the banks are at their most vulnerable.. They have gone to great lengths to create the illusion that they were modifying loans or even willing to do so when in fact what they really wanted and needed is a foreclosure sale to prevent them from getting hammered on liability for stealing the investors’ money and for diversion of both assets and money from the investors and from what would have been a benefit to borrowers. memotocertifyclass. I believe that there are monetary damages that could be awarded particularly when the pretender lender cannot come up with an allegation and proof of financial injury. Opportunities to sell or refinance the home were thwarted both by the pending foreclosure action and the negative credit reporting from non-creditors. People who have had their credit scores tanked by the pretender lenders should write to the credit reporting agencies and tell them that the report is false and fraudulent — that you never owed any money to the entity that entered the negative report.

Practice Hint: Get the name of the person and confirm their telephone, email, fax and physical address. Tell them you are recording the conversation for training purposes. And then record it.

This affidavit shows exactly why you need people are both lawyers and forensic computer experts to assist on most cases. Law firms lacking these resources and lacking private investigators, are not equipped well enough to do battle with these lying behemoths. If they are charging low fees just to sign you up, their chances are diminished that they can do anything besides delay a wrongful foreclosure instead of beating it.

This affidavit is an example of why the entire foreclosure process is going to unravel in the near future. Previously judges were resisting pleading, argument and discovery direct it at the credibility and truthfulness of affidavits and live testimony in court if they were submitted by a well-known bank or other institution supposedly acting on behalf of a bank. As time passed more and more judges were beginning to discern inconsistencies in the pleading and proof of the banks. But they still thought that the banks were most likely in possession of “the truth” and that any representation from the bank should be treated as credible whereas any representation from the borrower should be treated as dilatory at best.

Bank of America has taken the position that its house is totally in order. They even got the Atty. Gen. of the state of New York to back off of a lawsuit that was eventually filed only against HSBC. Danielle Kelly, Esq., of the firm of Garfield, Gwaltney, Kelley and White is writing an article about affidavits (in support of foreclosing) signed by people with no idea of what they contain (or knowing that they are lies), including the description of the signor as someone with authority to do so. You’ll see that article shortly, so I won’t belabor the point. I’ll simply quote the following from an affidavit of a supposedly senior person at BOA filed in United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.:

Using the Bank of America computer systems I saw that hundreds of customers had made their required trial payments, sent the documents requested of them, but had not received permanent modifications. I also saw records showing that Bank of America employees have told people that  documents had not been received when, in fact, the computer system showed that Bank of America had received the documents. This was consistent with the instructions my colleagues and I were given. We were told to lie to customers and claim that Bank of America had not received documents it had requested, and that it had not received trial payments (when in fact it had). We were told that admitting that the bank received documents would “open a can of worms” since the bank was required to underwrite a loan modification within 30 days of receiving those documents and it did not have sufficient underwriting staff to complete the underwriting in that time…. Site leaders regularly told us that the more we delayed the HAMP modification process, the more fees Bank of America would collect. We were regularly drilled that it was our job to maximize fees for the bank by fostering and extending the lay of the … modification process by any means we could —  this included lying to customers. For example, we were instructed by our supervisors at Bank of America to delay modifications by telling homeowners who called in at their documents were “under review,” when, in fact, there had been no review or any other work done on the file.

Employees who were caught admitting that Bank of America had received financial documents or that the borrower was actually entitled to a permanent loan modification where discipline and often terminated without warning.

The only other thing that I would state at this point is that Bank of America did not merely lie to its customers. Bank of America makes a practice of lying to its own staff. While the use of a “nonperforming” loan are higher than the fees paid on a  “performing” loan, the real reason for this outrageous behavior is that the banks are attempting to protect and maintain their receipt of outrageous sums of money that they have declared to be proprietary trading profits. As I have stated before these banks are intermediaries. They are not and never were principals or real parties in interest in any transaction between the homeowner and the investors who put up the money.

As partial explanation of what I am talking about, consider this: you order a brand-new TV on Amazon using one of your many plastic cards. The vendor is (by way of example) Best Buy. Your account is debited $1000 which is exactly the amount you agreed to pay. Later, you find out that Best Buy accepted $600 for the TV and the intermediaries kept the other $400.  You also find out that during the shipping process the intermediaries took possession of the TV and intentionally dropped it 30 times to make sure that it wouldn’t work. During that process you learn that the intermediaries each paid for a contract of insurance using your money. Sure enough, the TV arrives in 1000 pieces. Each of the intermediaries receives full payment for the TV probably at the original purchase price of $1000. The intermediaries tell you that your problem is with Best Buy because that is the vendor in the transaction. Best Buy tells you that the TV was just fine when it left its distribution center and directs you to one of the intermediaries that handled either the shipment or the payment for the shipment. You are left going around in circles and you get worn out or you accept a settlement that is worth far less than the TV you purchased.

Now comes the fun part. The issuer of the credit card wants you to repay them $1000 at the end of the month or pay monthly installments with an interest rate of 24%. All you know is that you got screwed but you’re not entirely sure how that happened. The purpose of this blog is to educate you gradually on how you got screwed and why you are not a deadbeat; instead, you are a pawn in a very large Ponzi scheme.
