Wall Street is quietly shifting pieces around on a chess board that the homeowner does not know exists and cannot see. There are several examples of this. A shift from U.S. Bank to U.S. Bank Trust, alleged transfers (without payment) of alleged “accounts” from one named trust to another, the rise of “Legal Title Trustee” […]

The simple fact in almost every single foreclosure today is that the entity named as the claimant has absolutely no interest in the success or failure of the litigation. But they are addicted to the revenue that is generated from the permissive use of the claimant’s name. So the way lawyers work around this basic […]

I can remember back when Nova Law Center was an old building on what had been a World War II airstrip. My fellow students and I would satisfy our need for speed on those runways. That was in 1974. I also remember my contracts professor, Samuel Bader (RIP). He pounded into our heads a simple […]

The main reason that Appellate Courts get it wrong when a homeowner appeals a decision is that the homeowner admits the basic legally required components (elements) of a foreclosure action.

Most people do not spend their time keeping up with advances in technology. When it comes to their front door they know it has arrived. For about 12 years I have been telling people that there is a “high probability” that no human is making any decision and no human is doing anything with respect […]

Practically every email and inquiry I get contains complaints about court bias. It is as though people think that there are humans on this planet who have no opinion or bias. They point out examples of being steamrolled, ignored or otherwise wiped out in foreclosure litigation and they blame the opposing lawyers for being evil […]

If one takes a neutral view there is an inescapable and undeniable conclusion: millions of homes have been forced to sale, depriving the owners of property and money, and causing untold damage to families and careers without the court knowing to a reasonable degree of certainty that the loan account even exists. Scott Staffne and […]

It’s time to give a thumbs up to the agency that has up till now befuddled homeowners. The absence of regulation of nonbank FINTECH companies has been a giant loophole through which wealth was converted from homeowners to investment banks. I am pleasantly surprised by an announcement from the CFPB that will start monitoring and […]
