STICKIER THAN THEY THINK: These are not the only mortgage securities they hold and they all amount to ownership of the risk on every loan they purchased. The purchase of course was accomplished in one of many ways --- direct and indirect. But when you come down to it, between the GSE's (which are now departments of the Federal Government),…[...]

Editor's Note: The simple reasons for the failure of the Federal program are not just that they lack clearly defined goals; they lack clearly defined understanding of the problems of title and appraisal fraud. Homeowners are sitting with property that is (a) hopelessly underwater (b) with hopelessly clouded title and (c) hopelessly engaged in mandated modification process with disinterested parties.…[...]

Editor's Note: This proposal would reveal what really happened during the lead-up to the mortgage meltdown. The receiver would first take an objective inventory of what AIG (with taxpayer dollars) paid and track the actual transactions instead of REPORTS of the transactions. It would reveal the theme for this week, which is that the loans were never securitized, which means…[...]

Many questions are coming after yesterday's post. The main point is that there is no paper trail because nobody wanted it. Up at the top of the "securitization chain" fabricated by the securitization documents, nobody was checking loans at the level of actually looking at the loan documents, so they never asked for the loan documents, much less any assignments,…[...]

SOMEBODY SEND ME THE COMPLAINT PLEASE ---> NGARFIELD@MSN.COM Registration Statements omitted and/or misrepresented the fact that the sellers of the underlying mortgages to JP Morgan Acceptance were issuing many of the mortgage loans to borrowers who: (i) did not meet the prudent or maximum debt-to-income ratio purportedly required by the lender; (ii) did not provide adequate documentation to support the…[...]

GREAT POST BY MATT WEIDNER even if the instant motion was timely, the explanations offered by plaintiff’s counsel, in his affirmation in support of the instant motion and various documents attached to exhibit F of the instant motion, attempting to cure the four defects explained by the Court in the prior May 2, 2008 decision and order, are so incredible,…[...]

“Since the claimant, Citibank, has not established that it is the owner of the promissory note secured by the trust deed, Citibank is unable to assert a claim for payment in this case.” Thus, any foreclosing party which is not the original lender which purports to claim payment due under the note and the right to foreclose in California on…[...]
