EDITOR’S ANALYSIS: The passage below contains very valuable information. I want to focus on one simple fact — the “borrower” is not defined as some homeowner applying for a loan. The “borrower” is some sham entity that has been created by the investment bank, to create the appearance of a warehouse line of credit for funding mortgages. It’s another layer to support plausible deniability. The borrower in the transaction with investor-lender is not identified in the documents as the homeowner. The creditor in the transaction described in the documents given to the homeowner to sign is not the investor-lender, nor even the pool, nor for that matter the “warehouse lender.” This was done intentionally to throw the sheer certainty of loss onto the investors and to grab the revenue, profits and fees for the banks, while at the same time declaring that it was all the fault of homeowners who defaulted on their loans. By avoiding basic rules of evidence, these banks are taking assets that should be used for restitution to the investors and the homeowners and keeping it for themselves.
What I find interesting is how many ‘Borrowers” we have in the illusion of securitization, and how they plays out as evidence in court regarding the so-called default. Starting with the investor who advances the money, the “borrower” or “payor” is an entity (that may or may not have ever come into existence). This is the SPV, trust or pool, depending upon how you look at it. So this borrower is promising to pay a debt to the investor based upon terms and conditions that are highly convoluted. The promise, for example, is based upon the right of the borrower to use the money of the creditor to make the payments to the creditor. So if there is no money in the pool, the SPV can still pay the creditor and there is no default.
Another aspect of this promise is that it is based upon revenue obtained from assets which are roughly defined but not identified. The list attached to the prospectus appears to identify the assets (loans in the pool) but the caveat is that the prospectus eventually gets around to saying that these are not the real loans and that the ones shown on the list are to replaced by real loans.
NOTE THAT THE HOMEOWNER NEITHER KNOWS ABOUT NOR IS REQUESTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE TERMS AND OBVIOUSLY HAS NOT SIGNED ANY AGREEMENT, NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT PROMISING TO PAY THE ACTUAL CREDITOR. The Homeowner has signed documents that give the appearance of a loan from an entirely DIFFERENT entity (the originator).
The point here is that as far as the actual creditor is concerned, the homeowner is NOT identified as the debtor or borrower. The documents are very clear on that point because it was always the intent to raid the revenue flow from the investments in mortgage bonds and the payments by various parties and NOT give the creditor the money, whenever it suited the investment bank to stop paying the investor. Thus the control over a default lies in sham corporations established by the investment banker regardless of whether the homeowner has made payments, and regardless of whether the creditor is receiving payments from sources other than the homeowner.
Then we go down one level and discover that there is yet another “borrower” who is not the homeowner. It is in the warehouse lender-borrower agreement in which the “borrower” is a sham entity created by the investment bank to create the appearance of a bona fide third party transaction for value in which the aggregator of loans can direct the funding of loans to borrowers through yet another layer of entities. Once again the borrower is clearly identified as NOT being the homeowner, although the reference is made to repurchase or replacement of the loan if the loan was defective. This clause is almost never invoked. But in any event, from the document itself, you can see that it is the obligation of this new “borrower” to assure payment from the pool of loans that are non-existent because they were never securitized or transferred, and the creditor is now, not the investor nor the pool, but rather the warehouse lender.
Skipping down a few layers, we get to the transaction with the homeowner where the homeowner is identified as a borrower, the creditor is identified as some party who was neither a party to the the mortgage bond prospectus nor the warehouse lending agreement. In fact this party is not a creditor in any sense of the word but is nonetheless identified as the “lender” despite the appearance of MERS or some nominee. This party is actually an unregulated, unregistered mortgage broker, even if it has the word “bank” in it, because it is not performing a banking function. ON its balance sheet the loan never shows up. On its income statement, the transaction shows as a fee-based service in which it served as the straw-man for the securitization participants.
Thus the money from the investor is laundered down to giving a part to fund the “loan” to the homeowner who in reality is just a pawn in the scheme to skim or steal money from the investors. The funding of the loan is a cover for the theft of the investor’s money, deftly accomplished by siphoning off a substantial amount of the money advanced by investors into accounts as profits and fees and never reaching any closing table where a loan was funded. The investors were funding outlandish fees without knowing it. At the point where the homeowner is presented with documents, the real transaction has been completely obscured.
The documents refer to a money transaction between parties (the homeowner and the originator) in which no money exchanged hands. Thus factually, these documents refer to a transaction that never existed and was never meant to exist — a problem for both enforcing the documents themselves and for reforming them to conform to the evidence. Any default declared on such documents is meaningless. Any foreclosure initiated based upon such documents is a nullity. Any title issued as a result of such a foreclosure is a wild deed. Any “credit” bid submitted at an auction is void because it comes from a non-creditor regardless of how the transaction is analyzed.
Meanwhile the actual money transaction in which the actual party with money conveys money for the benefit of the actual party who receives the benefit of that money is completely undocumented. The investor-lender and the homeowner-borrower are intentionally left disconnected. And the pretender lenders wish the courts to use the absence of such documentation as proof that no such transaction existed. That is why a general denial of virtually everything the pretender proffers in any form is necessary and why the rules of evidence, if applied, would establish that there is a lack of evidence of any default, and a lack of evidence that the loan is actually still outstanding or delinquent.
