If nobody owns your mortgage note then you are in luck

Posted byLance Wiggs 120 Comments on If nobody owns your mortgage note then you are in luck

It seemed like a great idea at the time. Sign folk up to mortgages, sell the mortgages to another financial player who then bundles the mortgage with thousands of others and sells various risk based slices.

It failed in three different ways – two of which we know about, but one which is just emerging.

Firstly the original mortgages were offered to people that couldn’t afford to pay them back, particularly when the so called “fixed” interest rates rose after an initial one or two year period. Much has been written about this (NINJA, Sub Prime etc)

Secondly the riskier slices of the mortgages were vastly under priced, and so the interest rate premium didn’t begin to compensate for the very real probability of a high rate of failure to service the loans.

The third one is a doozy. It turns out that because of the mortgages being sold and sliced and sold, the ownership of the original mortgage is often in doubt. It took Mamie Ruth Palmer in Atlanta, Georgia to bust this one open, in a court case that has just ended a six year saga.

Her bank tried to foreclose on her, but couldn’t prove that they actually owned the mortgage. The bank ended up in the humiliating situation of losing on pretty much all fronts:

Last month she received a settlement from the Bank of New York, the trustee for a vast pool of mortgages that included hers. Under the terms of the deal, the bank reduced Ms. Palmer’s loan balance to $59,000 from about $100,000 and has agreed to accept the proceeds of a reverse mortgage in full satisfaction of her obligation.

The settlement also eliminated about $12,000 in foreclosure fees added to her debt and called for the installation of central air-conditioning in Ms. Palmer’s home.

Roughly $10,000 in legal fees billed over five years by Ms. Palmer’s lawyer, Howard D. Rothbloom, will be covered by payments she has made toward her mortgage while she was battling foreclosure.

Fantastic. Mamie Palmer not only wasn’t humiliated, but she wins a major victory and also gets to keep her home and dignity.

…today, amid the freewheeling packaging of mortgage loans into securities that are sold off to investors, it’s much less clear who controls the note — all of which promises to cause banks enormous legal and financial headaches as foreclosures mount

The problems associated with banks that begin foreclosure proceedings when they do not have proper legal standing are now looming larger in the mortgage meltdown. Loans were heaped into trusts with little documentation of ownership or proper loan assignments — it was all about volume and the fees that came with it — and now that sloppiness is hurting both lenders and borrowers.

Not knowing whom to call is another effect of securitization. In the past, lenders knew their borrowers and vice versa; today the holder of the note securing the property is a faceless investor represented by a trustee, like the Bank of New York.

This all means that the investors that hold mortgage backed securities are less able to get their last recourse of forcing a sale of the house to get their money back. The implications are pretty severe for financiers, and pretty good for homeowners. At the very least it means that the foreclosure costs are going to be a lot higher than anyone previously thought.

Yet another middle man is the company servicing the loan; it has an obligation to the investor to extract all the money it can from the borrower. And because the foreclosure process can generate lucrative fees, servicers have an incentive to drag out the process, experts say.

This is scary – this means that there are agents that have the incentive to screw over both the home owners and the mortgage backed security owners. Not a lot of winners in this one.

Judges are beginning to catch on to all of this.

Arthur M. Schack, a justice on New York State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, is one of the judges who is putting lenders’ feet to the fire. In 14 published foreclosure decisions handed down since Jan. 1, Justice Schack has granted only one lender the right to foreclose. Of the 13 other cases, he dismissed one outright and dismissed 12 without prejudice.

So all in all this is further bad news for the housing trade, for the likes of Citigroup, Freddie and Fannie, but  good news for homeowners that are over stretched. But I also have the view that this is good news as it prevents mortgage security holders foreclosing on houses too quickly, and will thus promote alternative courses of action such as renegotiated loans (e.g. for 80% of face value). Renegotiated loans are great where it gives homeowners a chance to pay back a reduced loan rather than declare bankruptcy and walk away from unsustainably high payments.

  6. You may even want to look more deeply into the legality of money itself. Do banks have the legal right to create “money”? Not according to the Reserve Bank Act yet that is exactly what they do when they create credit and call it money.

    There is a paper on my website called “The Nature of Money” which explores the legal nature of money. It goes back over 400 years to the real birth of paper money, known then as accommodation bills. Back in the 1600s judges were often involved in sorting out disputes as to who actually owed who money and how this could be proved legally.

    The paper is very detailed and very long but it is a fantastic piece of research. The author is a former bank risk analyst with a detailed knowledge of banking practices. He then studied law to see if there was a legal challenge available to private banking hegemony.

    You’ll find the answer in the paper.

  8. I am in the same situation. Ownit Mortgage Solutions closed with me in 2006. I am now trying to negotiate the note and Litton Loan Servicing has done nothing but run me around since April 2008. Come to find out; Ownit filed bankruptcy in 2006. This may be the reason why Litton has been giving me the run around. Finally, I asked them who owns my note. At first they said that they did. I found out that they are only a servicer. They finally emailed me after a month and said that LaSalle Bank is the trustee for Ownit. Now I did more research and Bank of America bought them out. So I finally decided to call the Bankruptcy Judge in Ca, They refered me to a liquidation company. The Liquidation company said that they sold all of Ownit Mortgages. They will call me to let me know who owns it in a few days. So what this all comes down to is that if Litton wants to foreclose than they are sadly mistaken. Any opinions???????

      1. I know this response is way late –welcome 2012!
        No mortgage lender owns it. It’s money created out of air. You can keep your house- you own it. Ha! Ha! I’m being sarcastic of course, but I truly think your loan was created
        ‘out of air’! Remembering a case many, many years ago- I forget the era, maybe the 1930s’?, of a homeowner who was about to lose his home, went to trial and the President of the bank, who ‘loaned’ the money, upon being placed on the stand for questioning, actually admitted that there was no money to lend in the first place? The homeowner was able to keep his house after all. I went thru Ownit originally, Litton Loan with 2 mortgages. Sky high interest rates, I’m Hispanic..and was in transition trying to find a job with a fiance’ who had to get a letter from his company stating yes he ‘will be’ eventually making this amount of money. Read the current news on Countrywide/Bank of America and lawsuit. I believe our situation with Ownit /Litton Loan is the same. I can tell you a story on how I got the loan with a very pushy, unscrupulous broker. They give you hopes that yes you can own a home even when questioning it and they tell that it’s still possible. The banks definitely were working it very very hard. It is sad how everything was handled. Horribly sad.

  12. HomeBanc closed my loan in July 06; a full doc, 30 year prime loan.
    Oct 07, HomeBanc, now in chapt 7 sold my loan to Chase Home Financial Services, Nov 07 Chase Home Financial Services sold my loan to EMC (Bear Stearns), as of March 08 EMC is now the mortgage servicing arm of J P Morgan Chase. Upon losing my job at the end of June 08 I called an requested a modification package. When I called to inquire about the modification option EMC told me I was denied because I was unemployed. I called back to request the denial in writing. The denial was due to the “loan is in a security and the investor does not allow modifications.” So that’s where it stood while the house is marketed as a short sale. The property has been on the market since May 2006. A contract for purchase was submitted to EMC on 12/2. The last call from EMC was to inform me that the house was approved for foreclosure on Dec 1. A call on 12/11 and a back dated letter postmarked 12/12. EMC cannot find the contract short sale package…in fact it was stated to me “they don’t have nothin’ ” This situation is in Palm Beach County, can only hope that Madoff ended up with the MBS Bond…..then it may be truly lost forever. All the while, EMC tries to be the bad guy.

    1. I live in Boise, Idaho. I just got served with a 30 day demand for payment in full. I have been going through a bitter divorce & was suppose to be getting 1/2 of my ex-husband’s retirement. (that is chump change compared to what i lost in the money i had saved for my retirement that through his prior debts with the IRS i got stuck with his prior tax bill & lost all the equity in a home i had prior to marriage. when i had to refi MY home because somehow (probably because he made more money than me) he became the primary on my home refi. I lost all of my equity in that home. we purchased a home in Boise after he got fired and had to move to Boise. His name is still on that loan too as the primary. I am only on the deed. both houses were awarded to me in our recent divorce with the debt therein goes to me. I have waited 10 months for my 1/2 of his retirement since we were married 20 yrs. I have had 3 atty.’s who took my money and then bailed out after i sold everything i could to pay them. the last atty. spent approx. 1 hr. in court and charged me $3,500.00 in a retainer. then he charged me another $1,500.00 to do the QDRO. He did it wrong and it got rejected back in April. I paid for the QDRO but he said he was fed up with quote “my bitching” so he bailed because i would not pay him anymore to do nothing. He refused to change my decree papers prior to a final sign off on them to state for “Adultery” he worded the papers to state i got 1/2 of all of the 401K, IRA, Bonus program, and the company stock as of what was left in it as of the day before the decree papers were signed instead of what was in those accounts at the beginning of the divorce for the last yr. Of course my ex pulled out over $14,000.00 out of just one of his 401K’s and pulled out all the other money out just before the signing of the decree. Now that atty. contends because my previous atty.’s did not do Discovery that he had no way to find out what my ex had in those acct.’s. But i was Pro Se for 2 wks and I DID do the Interrogatories and Discovery. That same atty. was aware of it and had them in his office for the last 7 months. My ex’s atty. told me he refused to respond to them as i did not respond to his. Which i did but the first atty. I had did not send them to him. I have no job and have filed for disability and just got news yesterday i was approved( after waiting 2 yrs). the mortgage co. for the Boise home is GMAC. I am going to send them the 41 page questionaire on who owns the note. My home in Oregon is in the same situation. I actually had to get written permission from my ex to even talk to Carrington Mortgage to make house payments on the home i owned prior to marrying this idiot. I know that the note on it has been bought out at least once as Carrington was not the original holder of the note. I am filing complaints with the Idaho State Bar for the 3 atty.’s i have had who have screwed up my divorce beyond belief but in the mean time i am looking at two foreclosures. My ex filed bankruptcy on May 19, 2009 and remarried another sucker on May 22, 2009 so her income would not count against his bankruptcy. between the two of them they have approx. $6,500.00 a month in income and are now in the process of buying a new $300,000.00 home one month after his bankruptcy was discharged. I have spent all my money that should have gone to paying house payments on Atty.’s I sold my 52’Chevy to pay the last one then after the last payment i made to him which i had to use my house payment to pay him another $900.00 he told me i was “bitching” too much about the QDRO not being done. Any ideas? I am desperate. I have no where to go and i also have the poor innocent cats my ex left with me who will be put to sleep if i have no home for them either. I am taking my ex back into court Pro Se again for contempt charges but he has a very good atty. court is Nov. 18, 2009.

  16. Hi
    Okay, this is cool because you folks get it!! Yeah! Servicing company loss mitigation tactics like loan modifications/short sale are a big waste of time… YOu have to get to the investors/guarantors of the note… Process simplified:
    Someone like one the typical servicing companies Originates the loan, they then sell the assets (your note) with a bunch of others (pool mortgage notes together)to a SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) which is usually a corporation–many times created by the originator as a conduit for cash flow. Once pooled and sold to the SPV then they can sell interests to investors who can be anyone… Securitization… Why? It transfers the risk to the investors, then like stated above there are different risk levels (traunches)offered to investors based on the grade of the paper–is it risky or not? The riskier the greater the potential the return… Now the originator usually services the mortgage notes but they charge fees which are valuable.
    They can sell the servicing rights to a third party who will service the note. Cash flows from assets minus servicing fees flow through SPV to bond holder(investor)maybe different traunches unless a pass through. The servicing company ALWAYS gets paid, ALWAYS, they have ZERO interest in helping you with loss mitigation. IT IS A BIG SCAM– they do not want to work with you, they are debt collectors and if they don’t the money from you they will get it from the Guarantor. They always get PAID. It is in the servicing company’s best interest not to spend money on curing your note if you default. WHy? Because they always get paid.

    You need to deal with a loss mitigation company who has access to the investors/guarantors. There are very few companies that truly have this capability, we are a front end shop to such a company. We DO NOT charge upfront fees and we are compliant with federal regs… If a company wants to charge up front fees, RUN! If they don’t use third party trust accounts like a typical real estate transaction, run… Ask WHO they negotiate with? If the say your servicing company? Run they have no clue about true loss mitigation practices.

    If you want more info– this was pretty basic just respond to this post. There are alot of lies out there and misconceptions…Time to set the record straight and help folks. BTW this meltdown was constructed and we are paying the price.

    Best of luck!

      1. Hi Hollins

        Sure, what I mean is you should not be charged up front fees for services in the loss mitigation space–practices would include retention programs such as loan modifications, and non-retention programs like short sales. Monies should be paid into a third party trust account and utilized as a negotiation tool to show investors of your note or the guarantor of your note that you could make a lower more affordable payment. Companies that claim and promise guaranteed results in my humble opinion are not being truthful. There are any factors that go into say modifications, it’s not about what the borrower wants to pay, it should be based off what the borrower can afford to pay. Through experience it can be closely determined what a borrower might expect to pay in terms of affordability, but the first thing to realize is assessing whether you can build a case to present to the guarantor of the note. The guarantor could be a hedge fund manager, it could be some pool manager in some foreign bank or it could be some insurance company, there is no way to know who owns your note without going through an investigative process. I am sorry I can not give you that process as it is proprietary. BUT, you have to understand what has gone on here in the industry with the securitization of these mortgage backed securities. When I refer to servicing companies I am talking about the company you pay your monthly mortgage payment to… Unless and it is pretty rare, that your note is a ‘portfolio’ note, there is an investor/guarantor that actually owns your note. Meaning it was sold off in a pool of other notes-hundreds, maybe it was packaged with some commodoties too and other things, then tranched to individual investors as part of a fund–I am trying to simplify it… Your neighbor might own a part of that mortgage pool in his portfolio and not know it—but a fund manager manages it.

        So my point was, if you want to do a loan mod and you call a loan mod company and ask “who do they negotiate with?” and they say the lender, they don’t know the real scoop and I’ll bet they ask for upfront money– You want to negotiate with the guarantor, the folks who either own or manage the notes. NOT THE SERVICING COMPANIES. SErvicing companies get paid fees to collect debt…that’s it. They are debt collectors and they get paid no matter what. INFACT, servicing companies do not want to cure loans… It is not in their best interest to do so…

        I hope that makes sense… There is a lot to consider when it comes to loss mitigation, there are laws too that may play a factor into how many notes can be cured within a pool. PSA–Polling Services Agreements. Particpating in government program like H4H, HAMP, TARP are up to the investors, it isn’t law.

        I guess I am saying, have expectations that aren’t based off of erroneous information supplied by loan mod companies… I was simply saying that in my opinion those two questions will help you weed out between the scammers and the real loss mitigation folks.

  18. What happens if who ever holding your note or part of your note, writes off the debt or the company was liquidated. So if your note was wrote off for business purposes or sold to another party for pennies on the dollar why are we still paying full price with intrest to the servicor, when the note may not exsist or does not exsist in the same form it did when you signed it. If your note or parts of your note were written off, because it was bundle with other debt that went bad and the holding company takes the loss, and shows a loss,than pays less taxes because off this loss, it seems that some where there are hughe gains not being shown by one of the parties involved if some of these notes are still making good on their monthly payments! If the tax system worked as it should we would not need the federal government aka(tax payers) to make loan modifacation, these notes have already been modified the notes have been written down and or off! So it is very pssible that part or all of your note does not exsist and you paying for those who can not and every dime you pay is profit and is not being taken as that, by these companies!

    1. You need professional advice from someone local and from someone that can make things happen. I’m in New Zealand.

      Talk to your local political representatives, write to your state and US congressman and senator. Ask them for help in ways where they can actually deliver.

      One alternative is to accept you will lose the house and make plans accordingly.

      I’ve had ups and downs, and it’s important to keep perspective. Stay in control, stay cool, regardless of what fate delivers. Have a back up plan. If all else fails then you still have your ability to work, your friends and family and your dreams. Worst case you can abandon everything, you can cash up and travel or move, you can start from scratch and suceed like countless immigrants do.

  22. hi everyone, been reading all your comments. Same ol complaints for the past yrs since the tarp was granted to the very institutions that are robbing us! Bank rupcy is not always the best solution. But if it brings out the nitch to sting the servicers because of who owns your notes, its a good thing.

    I am 16 months behind on my mortgage with BOA, who are the servicers of my loan, they are not the gaurantors, nor the owners, they took over country wides toxic loans, mine was included but it originated with quality loans, ITC and others.

    I dont intend to pay one single dime on this Mortgage, because BOA is operating ilegally all these Mortgages. When they foreclose on me, I will take them to BK court. Why do you think they have allowed me to have so long to 16 months without making a single payment. (I think it was the only way BOA could qualify for the Tarp funds) I know many many others in the same boat.

    Others have actually rented out their property, they have been collecting the rent and putting it into a trust account. Meanwhile the Bank is screwing with them. I think these folks are smart.

    We need to use the wise bank rupcy judges more.
    All that is legal we can use, WE SHOULD USE IT.
    THANKS FOR YOUR IDEAS, THEY ARE GREAT,

  24. We’re pro se plaintiffs in an unlawful foreclosure on our home. We are sueing 5 companies, corporations, banks and loan servicers. I can send you our actual case (opened June 11, 2010) if you would like to review it and give us any tips or pointers on how to fight this in court. Our case is pretty hard-hitting in that we are going straight for the “note” being discharged as it was “Monetized” and therefore there is NO NOTE HOLDER BECAUSE THERE IS NO NOTE. That is why all of you are having such a hard time figuring out who the real note holder is. Your original lender “monetized” the loan, per banking rules and procedures. If it was “monetized” (turned from a paper contract or instrument into tangible money, or a written entry in a ledger or computer database as a number)…then the debt has been paid to the lender, rendering the “note” no longer valid. Then the “invalid” note is passed off to a Loan Servicer to continue to collect money for a debt that does not exist. My case is already public information, so we have nothing to hide. We want to help others with this information…and we are open to any suggestions, tips, pointers, advice on how to fight this in court against all the Defendant who are insisting they have right to enforce the foreclosure because they somehow have assumed the roles of trustee under the deed of trust, on behalf of the supposed beneficiary. This argument is “complicatingly simple”, as I call it.
    I do not have room her to explain it in its entirety, but I can discuss it via email if you want. My email is mr3rmd729@gmail.com. I can PDF you a copy of our Complaint which contains the position we are taking, complete with all of the laws we are citing. A few examples are: UUC Article 3 § 3-203 Transfer of Instrument , Rights Aquired by Transfer; UCC 3106(d) Unconditional Promise or Order (espcially the very lastsentence in section (a) which states “but if the promise or order is and instrument, there CANNOT VE A HOLDER IN DUE COURSE of the instrument” which pretty much says it all; We are stating that all of the 5 defendants commited prima facie trespass of the express terms of Deed of Trust(DOT) that void ab initio the entire foreclosure processl Cal. Civ. Code 2934(a) and 2934(20)(4); California Commercial Code 3301; other contract laws, banking procedures, statutes, etc. Then you can look them up for yourselves and possibly use these points to help you win your case.

  27. We been having a problem with MortgageIT and EMC since 2005.We still have the house.But we stop payment because first when we ask for a modification they send us a letter saying we could not get a modifcation.Then they send a letter to our bankruptcy lawyer that they would modify the loan.We gave then all our information we were working with a housing consoler but they wanted noting to do with the housing consoler .They would only talk to my husband and I. We ask if the our tax could be included with the mortgage they said yes then they raised our mortgage.Our was 2403.98. They send us one letter that our mortgage payment would be 3,922.60 then we got another letter saying that the mortgage payment would be 4,688.68. So from their on we just stop paying now they send us a letter that our loan is in default 426 days and that our Mortgage payment is in default 34,959.87 and to make payment by 9/30/2010.Then we got another letter since our loan was to reset on 10/01/2010 that our new mortgage payment is 2,719.23.It said this payment is based on your current interest rate 8.6500% .I get so many different amounts from them that I don’t know which is right.We were on bankruptcy and they still was charging us the late fee.Before they would charge us inspection fee property valuation fee then outstanding advances then money was put in a suspense account . We also had a problem with them because they never gave us our Good faith esimate.I Never really looked at all the papers they gave us .When I started asking question on the Internet in 2005 and in 2007 someone told me to check 3 of the papers one was the good faith estimate , HUD 1 form Truth in lending paper to see if all the amounts were the same on each paper.well to my surprise I did not have the good faith estimate. Then I called them and ask then for that paper and they would not send it we had to write to the Banking Department and to Respa.Then they send a copy. After looking at the 3 papers the numbers were different so I wrote to then again and they said we such have told them in 2005. Then we told them how could we if we did not have the good faith estimate paper and we did not know until someone told us.well anyway it stood like that noting done about it. when we first refinance the mortgage their was lot of problem because we wanted to cancel the loan and none of them would answer us.We wanted to cancel because it was not what they told us it would be. What they did was screw us with this loan.Now they are sending us papers again that if we want a modification if not that they would start foreclosure with out telling us.So we don’t know what to do.

  33. Let me get this straight, homeowners who rightfully and knowingly have signed a contract and a legal promissory note are now blaming the banks for their unwillingness to pay back the loan. They are scamming banks by saying “show me the note.” You knowingly under your own content signed a promissory note to pay back the loan. Hence that is a legal contract, a PROMISE. Who cares where the note was sold. I don’t care if a pile of dirt owns the note, you have a legal obligation and contract to pay back the note or you should go through foreclosure. What a scam, you should not have the right to get a loan! You know you owe money on a loan, yet you try and intentionally deceit the lender by saying “show me the note”. Last time I checked that is fraud: intentional deception made for personal gain!

    Like

      1. Majority of the fraud has happened with the shady mortgage brokers and fly by the night loan companies, who then sold the notes. Most of the banks bought the bad debt and did not know the fraud was happening. Just like BOA assumed all of Countrywide’s shady business. Angelo Mozilo should be in jail. No the banks are not clean, they should go after the individuals who ran the underwriting and wrote loans that should never of been loaned out.

        Fraud is intentional deception. Homeowners who know that they have a debt to pay and are intentionally try to deceit the lender of the note if fraud. You signed the mortgage, it your obligation to pay or you go to foreclosure. Not saying “show me the note” and trying to get away with not paying.

    2. Listen idiot! A default on a loan is “NOT” a criminal offense. Due to the economy, lots of people lost their jobs and couldnt pay their mortgages. Your are right about “legal contracts”, but the banks and lending institutions must honor their side of the contract as well which is governed by the UCC, federal, state and county laws. They have the bigger burden of making sure that when these loan contracts are bought/sold, that they make official recordings of these transactions. By law, they must pay the counties a recording fee, so that it is recognized by the law. The problems started when the mortgage/banking industry created a centralized-computerized system that bypasses these lawful proceedures. Once this system was up and running, the banks and lenders were buying and selling mortgages soo fast, that they disregarded the legal requirements when it comes to the contracts. Some, actually quite a few, banks even went as far as to change the numbers on contracts after the borrowers signed the promissory notes in an effort to maximize profits. This didnt even faze them because they knew they were going to sell the loans fast and take profit. Its sort of like running a “pyramid scheme”, the loan goes from one spot (lender) to another and the lenders are being paid each time as they transfer the loan from one to another. Eventually, the last lender “will” get caught holding a worthless peice of paper and cant collect. Why worthless, because the law wasnt followed at the beginning of the loan. Why do you think these lenders get rid of loans so quickly? They dont want to be the ones to not get paid thats why. So how do you stop this pyramid scheme from continuing? THE BORROWER MUST FILE SUIT! That’s when the scheme will fall apart and the court will rule if favor of the borrowers as a punishment to the banking industry for violation of mortgage/land contracts. Again defaulting on a loan is not a criminal offense, but frauding the counties out of recording fees, forging documents, stealing equity and property are crinimal offenses. “Show the note” destroys the pyramid scheme so it must take place Period!

      Like

  34. Lance, then why are judges ruling in favor homeowers in many cases when the lender cannot produce the original note? Other things also such as placing signatures on the docs long after the fact to show the court, or initially accepting bad paper (unsigned transfers, or auto/robo signatures)

    In the vast cases, where the loan is is shown to be without proper securitization in the chain of transfers, then it is esentially an unsecured debt like your credit cards – yes still owed, legally, ethically, morally, but unsecured, so they cannot legitimately foreclose on it and take it from you.

    The whole idea in most of these cases is simply to get an out of court settlement to modify the loan to make it affordable enough for the homeowner to stay, or in cases of foreclosure, to stop it and do a reasonable work-out with the occupants.

    But the banks and their servicers make so much more $ from a foreclosure due to the insurance and resale.., much more than doing a permanent modification or principal reduction, obviously. Many lender offers to do a mod are only temporary reductions in interest rate – not all that helpful in the medium to long term – this bad economy and joblessness is not going to clear up by next year.

Professor R. Wray and Professor Levintin (sp) and a hand full of attorneys are now recognizing the right house. You can also hear author of our lemon and some of his smart & intelligent followers on LIVE STREAM presentations on http://www.hofj.com. Ultimate goal is to execute a smart and successful Quiet Title Law Suit to remove the junk on your title. Love some of the smart comments above which I about to explain, but first would like to let you know – I worked for the bank people as a naive mortgage broker who ran a warehouse line for my company ( a giant credit card to fund loans upfront and then bought by subsequent buyer). This is what is not disclosed to you. There is a paper note and an illegal electronic copy of paper note. This is what should have happened—-the originator ships the paper loan file to the next potential buyer. The buyer will review the paper file and decides whether or not to buy the loan paper file. This process took me anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks as there are many files to review by buyer. Once the buyer agrees to buy the paper note, then the purchase transaction is properly negotiated with exchange of monies and the seller properly endorses the paper note to the actual buyer and FINALLY, the buyer requests proof of the recording numbers of the recording of the Deed of Trust and the Assignment of Deed of Trust to the subsequent buyer to make official Public Notice of the Sale of Paper Note AND most important to abide to the local jurisdiction real property- laws set by State and County and which govern the most important document in case a foreclosure presents itself—-THE PAPER DEED OF TRUST. If these steps are not carried out prior to selling the DEBT to Wall Street–then it follows the POWER OF SALE IS OUT OF REACH. Once all the paper is properly negotiated and endorsed all the way up to certificate holders/investors of shares/bonds, then and only after the paper docs properly processed can the final seller strip the intangible obligation aka the debt from the paper note and create a digitized authenticated record and shoot to the Intangible World Administrator MERS – Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems – computerized data base which keeps track as to which certificate holders are receiving the intangible obligation payment streams from homeowner. Now let’s look at what happened and the securities fraud on securities market and involving the homeowner unwillingly and unknowingly. Borrower signs the note and deed of trust and other documents- An enforceable loan package. Originator states, ” Let take short cuts to get our $$$$. Let’s disregard the Local Jurisdiction Real Properly laws which required us to properly process the paper note and paper deed of trust. These people will never figure out what we were suppose to do and did not do. Let’s skip processing and properly negotiating & endorsing the paper note and let’s immediately strip the intangible obligation from the paper note and let’s send over to Wall Street to use intangible obligation aka debt aka promise to pay aka personal property with Illegal Electronic Copy of Paper Note and Illegal Copy of Paper Deed of Trust and use the intangible obligation as collateral for OUR private contract with certificate holders aka investors! What a hoot! Let’s then tell the investors aka the certificate holders that we did carry out the required steps and laws to properly process the paper deed of trust and paper note…yes, let’s lie to certificate holders….as we need that money now….If the homeowner defaults, we will make homeowner continue to believe that it is all the homeowner’s fault and we will then file fraudulent foreclosing documents to cover our crime of securities fraud on securities market. Why don’t we do this….let’s take some of the money given to us by the certificate holders and by insurance policies! What a great and brilliant idea! We know the economy will fail as we pulled the bath tub plug….and when the homeowner defaults – kaboom….we collect on the insurance policy at the 60 day default mark and we can also submit a false claim to the US Government for Mortgage Default Insurance as stipulated by Housing Act of 1933 and all its amendments which allows to clean up hear too! I know – to collect Mortgage Default Insurance from US Government NO FRAUD CAN BE INVOLVED with defaulted loan…but you know, everyone is asleep so what the heck….let’s take money from whoever is asleep!” Look at 15 USC 7003 – it is illegal to make copies of written paper negotiable instruments. But they did it any way. Also, the person who decided to strip the intangible obligation from the paper note upfront, it is he/she who is the undisclosed Account Debtor who used the homeowner’s intangible obligation aka debt as collateral for the Undisclosed Account Debtor’s private contract with Certificate Holders/Investors. The crooked Loan Servicers should be chasing after the The Undisclosed account debtor and not the homeowner. The homeowner stopped paying once the homeowner knew his home was involved with a felony crime and the homeowner’s contract was breached and the intangible obligation is unsecured as the felons chose to NOT properly complete the processing of paper deed of trust and paper note. The debt is now unsecured and separated from paper deed of trust Carpentar VS. Longhan states if debt separated from paper deed of trust – contract is null and void. Also, when undisclosed account debtor decided to strip the intangible obligation upfront prior to properly processing paper note and paper deed of trust, he/she left the paper note DEVALUED of any value and no longer negotiable per UCC3203 Subsection (d) Article 3 or your states equivalent. The felons action of filing the fraudulent foreclosure documents to take home is smoke screen—you cannot re-attach and unsecured debt back to a DEVALUED note per UCC 3203 Subsection (d) Article 3 or your states equivalent. Also, Re- 15 USC 7003 which is clear in stating – anyone who violates this Federal Statute has committed a felony and NO LAW cannot be applied to the unlawful instrument.

  48. SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING INC, scammed 7 years of mortgage payments out of me on property I inherited . I paid from 2000, unti , 2011 , ,before discovering the note had been paid by the lender in 2006 . After many attempts on their parts to get me to keep paying them , they paid the loan off again in 2012. They have told multiple lies about this loan ,in effort to not pay me almost 40,000.00 dollars back . I need help ..but on a contingency basic .
