Lawsuits like this one have been on the rise as ever more mortgages default. It is no secret that the housing market boom fostered poorly underwritten mortgages, in which it was common that a borrower’s income was inflated or never documented.

See 2D08-3553 Fla 2d DCA BAC v Ginelle Jean-Jacques This is the reason why I am offering the workshop on Expert Witnesses, i.e. — to highlight the rules of evidence, to coach those who would present opinions as evidence and to hone the skills of the litigator. While apparently narrow in its scope and reasoning, […]

Editor’s Comment: Again, myth prevails. The monster that gobbled our home equity and the value of our pension funds came from the waters beneath the market not from some economic disaster or sudden migration of population to Australia.

Submitted was a form reciting the legal description of the property and citing California Civil Code Title 5, Sections 880.340 and 800.350.

Editorial Comment: Actually the number is far higher. We compute it as around 45% when all is said and done. First of all there is consensus that property values are actually around 15% less than seller’s are asking. Second costs of selling the home makes up the rest, taking another 6-10% off the selling proceeds. […]

Editor’s Note: business seems more concrete and logical than say, religion. But the truth is that all of finance and the economy is based upon three things: (1) trust, (2) credibility and (3) belief.

For those ideologues who blindly call for “personal responsibility” we direct your attention to the tens of billions of subsidies (corporate welfare) given to hundreds of corporation, some of whom act contrary to the interests of the American citizen and U.S. Foreign Policy. Either take the blinders off or admit that you don’t care about […]
