“Some Weasel Name Droppings”
Many of you will recognize these vermin from your own experiences of infestation…
Litton Loan Service hires (outsources) Quality Loan Service to foreclose on homes in California.
Litton Loan Service problems:
Transfers title illegally as beneficiary … for example
Donna Dixon, employee at Litton signs as HSBC Bank
Marti Noriega, employee at Litton signs as VP of MERS
These documents are notarized and look very important and official.
But they are frauds,
LITTON WAS NEVER BENEFICIARY
MERS is more often than not assigned Beneficiary on “security instruments” and “common law trusts” masked as Deeds of Trust and Notes from the Lenders (Fremont in our case)
These documents are notarized and look very important and official.
Next, MERS hires Quality Loan Service, (aka McCarthy and Holthus, LLP)
McCarthy and Holthus are attorneys for HSBC Bank

[…] to update our 2010 post WRITTEN IN WEASEL, SO GET OUT YOUR DICTIONARY OF WEASELEASE – FNF, FIS, DOCX, LPS and Now, Black […]
McCarthy Holthus L.L.P. – Violating Federal and State law.
Unethical Attorneys – Abuse of Process, Real Estate Racketeering, Insurance and Tax scams, Violation of Constitutional and Civil rights and Oath of Office, F.D.C.P.A., and Grand Theft w/ Counterfeit Security Instruments Under Color of Law.
Some are terrorist crimes under the Patriot Act.
Report them immediately to the Department of Homeland Security, Secret Service, FBI, IRS, Sheriffs Dept., Department of Business Oversight, Department of Real Estate, Department of Insurance, American Bar Association and the California State Bar. They are a threat to national security and the public welfare.
Do not play games with them. Do this Immediately!
Have documents analyzed and assignments investigated, then go after them for damages. There are a select group of attorneys and law enforcement joining together as we speak, getting ready to take them down.
I know first hand from one of the mouths of the beast that McCarthy Holthus outsources a good majority of their work to Romania to employ people of other countries. The owners are more concerned about their riches and appearances than trying to help any U.S. Citizens with employment. Apparently, one of their main trade secrets is to outsource to cheaper labor outside the U.S. Bear in mind this means anyone who is filing foreclosure, bankruptcy, etc. will probably have some sort of private information transferred to people in other countries, including Social Security numbers, loan numbers, financial history, etc.
Hey Angry & NOT TAKING IT! what up?
It’s me Philip CA from LivingLies Remember me?
Hey I need you and 4closurefraud to either email me or post your your email@ so I can send you guys something that could very usefull in exposing fraud. Oh and by the way I think Litton’s Atty in fact is Diane Dixon not Donna, at least that’s what it says on my fake assignment. make sure you guys read the bottom part, I mean EVERYONE.
Man I hope Florida doesn’t end up like my state California, you know nonJudicial and all. It’s bad I Mean BAD! Houses in pre-foreclosure are constantly getting broken into by the servicers/banks/attorneys while the residents are gone then steal stuff from the houses throwing whatever’s left out into the street and change the locks. When families found out what happened, they call the police then the police tell them “oh that’s a civil matter we can’t do anything about it, you have to take it to court”, problem is the judges are the ones who have hired and financed all these public/private partnerships buy the foreclosures & flip them at a profit for their retirement investment portfolios. What do you think was probably one of the main driving factors that pushed nonjudicial legislation out here and now pushing it out there? Judges are trying to avoid any possible risk of exposure. Read the Constitution and some of Jefferson’s and Madison’s quotes on the Judiciary, Judges aren’t suppose to have mortgages, pensions, IRAs or any kind of financial dependency affecting or influencing their impartiality, that’s what was meant by “Independent”.
Promissory Notes are Cash Equivalent Value of whatever their Face Amount is, Just Like Dollar Bills & Nobody is going to Destroy money for no reason(they are Deposited in a Bank FDIC insured). How else would CDs accrue Interest? by being pooled with Interest Bearing Notes(Promissory Notes). Think about it, if you sign a Deed of Trust/Mortgage putting up your House as Collateral Security for a loan, then what the Hell do they need a Promissory Note for? What do you think is used as the minimum bid by the Beneficiary, Servicer or whoever at the Auction? All Bidders have to be able to post Bond(Binding Agreement/Contract), the Beneficiary uses Your Promissory Note as the opening bid. I you’ve ever been able to get a printout of your transaction history(if you haven’t get it from your original lender &) LOOK AT IT, in the very beginning you’ll probably see that there was a single principle payment in FULL somewhere(that was them depositing the Note just like cash) and then the very next transaction puts your balance back to what it was.
I’m just finding this out Myself.
