Here is a good article from NYT but once again they are describing the news instead of reporting it. No investigation. Why do you think that servicers et al are not REALLY interested in modifying your mortgage? Why do you think they want you to believe that you are “in process” for mortgage modification when […]
By Walter Hackett, Esq. The federal government has trumpeted its Home Affordable Modification Program or “HAMP” solution as THE solution to runaway foreclosures – few things could be further from the truth. Under HAMP a homeowner will be offered a “workout” that can result in the homeowner being “worked out” of his or her home. […]
The principal enablers of our current difficulties were institutions that took on enormous risk by exploiting regulatory gaps between banks and the nonbank shadow financial system, and by using unregulated over-the-counter derivative contracts to develop volatile and potentially dangerous products. Consumers continue to face huge gaps in personal financial protections. We also lack a credible […]
This is an article that ought to be faxed to every judge, lawmaker, member of the executive branch, lawyer, foreclosure victim, and investor. In fact copy and past the link and email it liberally, I think the title to the post says it all! The legislative and executive branch have failed and now justice is counting on the judiciary […]
Lately I’ve been besieged with a flurry of well written motions that are intended to knock out the pretender lender in one punch. People are asking whether there is one single motion that could just end it all. The answer of course is anything is possible. For the past two years, pro se litigants and […]
BofA’s Countrywide loses court ruling on mortgages — Modifications Not Authorized By Investor May be Invalid There is lots of significance about this decision.

From Kevin A McKenna. A very good explanation about MERS and nominees. Note especially the reference to creating two entities to exercise collection and foreclosure instead of one thus reinforcing the argument of financial double jeopardy. The MERS deed would therefore be void, as he says. Thus there would be no security, probably no note […]
See Asset Securitization Comptroller’s Handbook The basic model we have developed tracks the money and with that, the intent behind seemingly irrational decisions. For example, why would any lender seeking to make a profit grant a loan whose interest payments were greater than the gross income of the borrower? That is not taking a risk. […]
August 10, 2009 Editorial $75 Billion Carrot, but Few Nibbles In March, the Obama administration began an antiforeclosure effort that offers lenders up to $75 billion in incentives to modify troubled mortgages. If that sounds like a lot of money, it is. But so far, it has not been enough to persuade the mortgage industry […]
Another example of why a TILA audit is grossly inadequate. A forensic audit is required covering all bases. Although dated, this article picks up on a continuing theme that demonstrates the title defect, the questionable conduct of pretender lenders and the defects in the foreclosure process when you let companies with big brand names bluff the […]
