MSR’S – Mortgage Servicing Rights

Misconduct on the part of the mortgage servicer’s affiliates?

CONSUMER ALERT – What to do? What to do?

ALL NATONAL BANKS UNDER OCC WHICH IS UNDER FEDERAL RESERVE SINCE 2006, CONTINUE PREVENTING ENFORCMENT OF LAWS INCLUDING CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS, RETAIL TRANSACTIONS WHICH HARM CONSUMERS AS BORROWRS AS INDIVIDUALS.

The ‘Mortgage Servicers’ Affiliates c/o Subsidairies of the ‘Wells Fargo Bank NA dba Cornerstone in agreements with third party’s consumers and their attorneyh’s not investigating who the real party’s are standing before the courts.

Don’t assume the MSR’s have the right to do what they do to you.
How did they get the right and are they applying the cash you send them to the creditor who owns the mortgage note? How would you know when you don’t know who owns the mortgage-backed note?

You’ve made payments for 29 years to who? How come so many people are in court trying to get property taken from they by deceptive acts like the last payment not applied and a false default occurs and the servicer quietly takes over possession of property at sheriff sale. How does that happen? Or how have you been paying your mortgage paymetns for 15 years, go to take a refiance and find out you are denied because (4) PAYMENTS WERE MISAPPLIED AND SOMEONE SOLD THE SERVICING RIGHTS TO ANOTHER SERVICER AND YOU HAVE NO NOTICES, NO RESOURCE NO ONE IN THE COURT OR GOVERNMETN WHO WILL HELP YOU!

Do you make/made payments to Chase Home Lending, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Ameirca’s Servicing Company, GMAC,
Litton Loan, Bank of America, Wachovia, Wells Fargo, etc. (owns the note). Note is owned by another entity not the “servicer” you send your payments too.

Servicers are debt collector who by agreement with (…’master servicer’ and/or ‘servicer’ and or subservicers ) c/o servicing companies’ back offices do generate bills, answer phones, and collect via lockboxes monthly payments c/o processing centers who redistribute funds. The ‘endorsement’ of mortgage payment on back of a check payable to?

A servicer can be defined as the company responsible for the following items:

1. Sending out bills
2. Accepting payments
3. Applying payments
4. Handling the escrow account
5. Imposing charges and fees
6. Handling any bankruptcy claims
7. Carrying out foreclosures.

The significance of being a servicer is certain laws apply including RESPA – Real Estate Settlement Practices Act. Existing state and federal laws can be very helpful when dealing with a servicer that lies, adds bogus fees, misapplies money, etc.

Servicers play a big role in wrongful and illegal foreclosures

A contractual agreement where the right, or rights, to service an existing mortgage are sold by the original lender to another party who specializes in the various functions of servicing mortgages. Common rights included are the right to collect mortgage payments monthly, set aside taxes and insurance premiums in escrow, and forward interest and principle to the mortgage lender.

Investopedia Says:
The mortgage servicer must supply an annual statement outlining the duties that were performed. In return for this assistance, the servicer is compensated with a specific fee outlined in the contract established at the beginning of the agreement. Mortgage servicing rights can be bought and sold, resulting in the transfer of any administrative obligations.

Many vertically integrated lenders today will service their mortgages in-house, which means they will also own both the loan and the servicing rights. These firms will also save money in the process.

The business of selling servicing rights for mortgages represents a large business niche, and is a multi-billion dollar industry.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., August 1, 2011 – Applied Business Software Inc.

Charity Braden, Director of Investment Fund Management and Loan Servicing for USBCDC said, “We needed a more robust and flexible loan servicing platform to manage our growing portfolio of New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) loans and to replace the multitude of individual spreadsheets used to track loan activity and subsequent cash distributions. Another goal was to be able to track upper-tier leverage loans within the NMTC structure and to streamline the internal accounting processes related to all of these loans on one system, thereby eliminating duplicative work.

USBCDC found this flexibility with The Mortgage Office™ software, along with the added bonus of affordability. ABS agreed to develop modifications to their current system in order to address the specific requirements of the NMTC deal structure. This will allow us to better service our own Community Development Entity (CDE), as well as better service and expand its marketable 3rd party services. We couldn’t be happier – we’ve already received the major part of the scoped customizations!”
