MER’S is a joke!! Mortgage Electronic Registery System (MER’S)….They are a shell company for the banks. There are no real employee’s. They destroy documents and use robo-signers to sign falsified documents. In other words rubber stamps. Any bank can sign up for MER’S and register a VP. The real doucments are destryed and one knows or can tell you who owns the loan or whom owed the loan. They are known as a “forecloser Mill”.

“MERS is a confidential electronic registry that banks created in 1997 to more efficiently “track” mortgage paperwork. It saved banks time and money by cutting down the paper shuffle and helping banks avoid paying recording fees to government recorders, who traditionally kept track of mortgage sales. The increased convenience for the banks helped enable securitization of mortgages”.

Info for your Marshall Watson case #09-04627, Monroe County Clerk # 2009-CA-471-K

Mr. Newman,

Please see the attached. I noticed that you have filed a notice of appearance regarding the fact that you are now the attorney handling this case, although you and your firm failed to respond to my previous emails and phone calls requesting such information.

For that reason I wanted to make sure you had the attached documents in regards to the upcoming hearing scheduled for Jan 7 at 3:30 PM before the honorable Judge Taylor here in Key West.

Please also take note that I feel I have illustrated the documents your firm has filed are fraudulent. You may disagree, but however through these filings you do now have knowledge of this fact. Should you, or any of the other individuals continue to pursue this case or counter my pleadings, I think it illustrates an intent to defraud with the use of these documents.

For that reason, I have also CC’ed Investigator Jeff Schocket and State Attorney Dennis Ward of the 16th Judicial Circuit, both of whom I have discussed this case with in great detail. As I have mentioned before in communications with your firm, I am interested in ensuring that any criminal activity that may have or potentially will occur be pursued to the fullest extent possible.

If you would have the courtesy, please respond to this email to let me know that you have received it. I highly doubt you will, so for that reason I have also emailed william.newman@marshallwatson.com to illustrate that non existent accounts receive non-deliverable messages from your email server.

I have also included past attorneys handling the case as well as other employees of Marshall Watson whom have signed some of the potentially fraudulent documents such as Ms. Arango, and Ms. Anderson. For some reason email to Ms. Arango, whom Ms. Anderson attests to working at MERS, never gets through when I email her up there in Reston. Odd that fact, no?

Regardless, have a great holiday season, I look forward to seeing you on January 7.

Peace on earth to men of good will.

PS – I did also CC a few members of the media, hope you don’t mind… 🙂

The New York rule makes it clear judges, truth and the law are in charge in New York courts.

Convenient fabrications and falsehoods will get a lawyer disbarred at the least.

When they sign off on it, their feeling about what’s in the cases they’re presenting are very different. Again, this is why foreclosures have dropped off so sharply in the state versus others. There have been faulty documents. With the affirmation, the lawyers are basically putting their reputations on the line. A faulty document isn’t worth ending up working beside someone in McDonald’s that you were trying to foreclose on.

I don’t know that a new rule, or modification of an old one, was required. I believe consistent application of the old or prior rule would have gotten the point across quite well. The ethical canons typically require due diligence, candor to the tribunal, etc. Thus knowing what is presented to the court is factual and true has always been required.

But I don’t mean to be argumentative. I too am glad some courts are taking steps to rein in these criminal thugs that happen to have BAR cards.

Which is really why foreclosures are so dramatically off from last year and even last month. Being caught committing fraud.
