EDITOR’S NOTE: One of the things that is being universally overlooked is that the original “mortgage lien” was never valid in the first place. Lawyers refer to that as “perfecting the lien.” The reason that the securitization scheme worked so well is that “originators” were used instead of banks at the time of closing. These originators have been buried in bankruptcies and fraudulent paperwork.
Most of the originators were simply companies incorporated for the purpose of attending closings. In many cases the originators filed for bankruptcy protection. This makes your job easier in establishing the fact that the originator was not in the business of lending money. By using the appropriate online services you can pull up the original schedules and any amended schedules that will show the assets and liabilities of the originator.
When you look at the schedule of assets and the bankruptcy of an originator you will not find any loans receivable listed as assets. This is important for two reasons. The first reason is that the originator was not in the business of lending money and the description of the business will probably describe the actual activities of the bankrupt originator. The second reason is that many participants in the securitization scheme used fabricated assignments from the originator, many of which are dated after the filing of the petition for relief, and some of which are dated after the discharge order and injunction. In both instances it is clear that the lien is fatally defective from the start and that therefore no effective transfer could ever occur.
The same logic applies even if the originator is still in existence. However you’ll need to get into discovery to show that the loan was never booked as a loan receivable and that the transaction was considered a service for which the originator received a fee. And the same logic applies even if the originator was an actual bank. The fact that it was the bank did not mean that it was performing a banking function. It was merely performing the function of an originator and collecting a service fee. In that event it too was merely a nominee for an undisclosed principal. Without the creditor being disclosed on the face of the mortgage or deed of trust it is my opinion that in most states the lean would not be considered perfected, which means that it is invalid and cannot be enforced.
Proof of massive bankers’ fraud. Originators all buried?
PROOF THAT POTENTIALLY MILLIONS OF LOANS BETWEEN 2003 – 2007, WERE FRAUDULENT – BY THE BANKERS!??
