EDITOR’S NOTE: It might seem unrelated, but the foreclosure crisis is very much related to BOTH the state budget problems and solutions. While Wall Street tinkered with real property in each state, making unrecorded transfers at huge profits, state Treasurers and county revenue departments have sat idly by watching tens of billions of dollars in […]

Read it and use it: judge-youngs-decision-on-nosek Challenge everything: As we have repeatedly stated, the entire position of the would-be foreclosers is a bluff and a fraud upon the court, the borrower and the system.

Editor’s Note: The opinionators at NY Times have it right in their description but wrong in their prescription. The reality is that nearly all securitized mortgage loans are worthless and unenforceable. The marketplace seems to know that — with “mortgage-backed securities” (that are not backed by anything in reality) selling at 3 cents on the […]

It’s happening…. the word is spreading. Read this carefully. It has lots of good quotes for you to use. But the narrative on who owns the loan is wrong — the investor purchases a bond and a share of the loans. The  SPV “Trust” owns nothing.  It is a REMIC conduit which means there are […]

Massachusetts is a power of sale state (non-judicial, but there is plenty of securitized meat in here for everyone). Good stuff to quote from — with Banks making the arguments that we are promoting on this Blog. The issues include (a) notice (b) unmarketable title and unable to get title title insurance (c) void certificate […]

Judge’s ruling deals blow to national mortgage servicer BY TIM O’REILEY A Las Vegas bankruptcy judge has dealt a blow to an obscure but critical piece of the mortgage enforcement machinery that could slow foreclosures.

The actual certificates of asset backed securities (ABS) and in particular mortgage backed securities (MBS) were sold to investors. And they weren’t just sold, they “sold forward.” This is a form of short selling wherein the investment bank sells the security first and THEN waits until it can get the underlying mortgage and note at […]
