Banks Hit Hurdle to Foreclosures
Banks trying to foreclose on homeowners are hitting another roadblock, as some delinquent borrowers are successfully arguing that their mortgage companies can’t prove they own the loans and therefore don’t have the right to foreclose.
These “show me the paper” cases have been winding through the courts for several years. But in recent months, some judges have been siding with borrowers and stopping foreclosures after concluding that banks’ paperwork problems are more serious than previously thought and raise broader ethical questions.
This year, cases in California, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Maine, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Massachusetts and others have raised questions about whether banks properly demonstrated ownership.

The banks should have to prove damages, which is an element in a breach of contract complaint. They will not be able to because they create money out of thin air. Also, the servicer is a third party, which is governed under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. They must provide the creditor’s name in order to validate the debt within 30 days of your request. Use the laws to bring the banks to their knees.
Fraud and ownership of note are done in many different ways. Nothing is told to the borrower sitting at the closing table. Many borrowers may not even know that their loans were not from the bank sitting across the table signing papers. Many loans were already sold before the closing to another ‘creditor ‘…..yet the pretender lender puts the banks name on the note and mortgage as payee/lender and the title co records the mortgage in county records…that is fraud. When the loan is sold before the closing… the money is wired to the ‘ place ‘ of closing…such as a title company. That money is put into escrow under the title co. name. ( The Privacy Act prevents the borrower from knowing who actually did the funding. ) In order to get the complete set of records, subpoena the title company cause you never got all the documents to the actual closing. The title co. recorded the mortgage in county records and requested for the mortgage to be returned to TITLE CO.>>>NOT THE BANK…THAT PROVES THE TITLE CO WAS IN ON THE FRAUD. The bank never lent any money…the pretender lender was the strawman sitting at the closing table paid a fee or commission by the actual lender. So from the very beginning the bank never owned the note or the mortgage….the investor(s) did. The bank may have been only the servicer of the loan. Yet borrowers thought everything was ok..it looked ok..that is what the bank planned and wanted knowing full well that loan would default and they would be named on the note and mortgage…Most investors collect many times on a loan that defaults and don’t want to come to the surface. More money was made from ‘ insurance ‘……So with this void of the investor not coming forth the bank again with fraud files a foreclosure and uses the note and mortgage as proof of ownership. NOW..another thing….borrowers are not told…there are two sets of documents…one set for the borrower and a complete different set for the investor….this is what tripped the bank foreclosing on my daughters mortgage. First set of summons documents showed a large X in the note below the signature. At the 1st hearing the judge dismissed and told the plaintiff to resummitt the proper documents…nothing was said about the note with a big x. The second set of documents showed the note had no big X but had the stamp ‘ without recourse ‘ and a faint stamp of the ‘investor’….that is the second questioned area….1st was the mortgage returned to title co not the bank and the second was the stamp….we called the title co asking for a complete set of documents but were told we had to subpoena them because of the privacy act….this told us someone else was the owner. BEWARE…Look over your documents real good…it’s all there…just keep digging…with our proof the lawyer we had did not see or catch anything and claimed to us there was no fraud…FIRED….Now we are on the right track again. Remember DISCOVERY….use it ….but again..all this was done before and at the closing….Sounds confusing but it’s there….
The proof is in the ORIGINATION FRAUD.
Read an article today written by a lawyer who does foreclosures, his bias was it’s just a big mess,
now a scandal or fraud. Just some mistakes here and there. He used a lost note scenario where a
borrower was going into foreclosure when his lawyer showed in court the entity doing the foreclosure did not have the note, that it was lost. The lawyer said it took him 4 months to find the note, and continued the foreclosure. Of course there was no attempt to prove the note was the original through testing.
His bias was all foreclosures are dead beats.
The banks have thier knickers in a knot because home owners are fighting for thier rights.I really think this has gone past the point of this is my home.I know for myself it is not so much about the house itself ot’s about the principal of the thing.The real question is how long will the American people buy into being a bunch of bend over buddies and when will they decide enough is enough.Most of us have kids and grand kids that are watching this situation very carefully to see what we are all going to do.This is not just for us it’s for countless generations coming up behind us.We need to make this count for everybody or this is the world not only we will be stuck living in but we will be foisting this on the people coming up behind us.It’s past time to take our country back by whatever means that are necessary.
I am concerned that the Florida courts unlike other States are favoring the banks when it comes to foreclosures. It is my understanding that “The material issues of fact” the banks lawyers are not being asked to prove documents are original. My point is no mater how good a defense the ultimate response from the Judge is owners do not deserver free house, and will be in favor of the bank!? This has been the case with Country Wide/ bank of America.
To date has any law firm been successful in winning any of the foreclosure cases in Florida. Out of all the case, past and pending what percentage favor the bank over the homeowner.What can firms do to ensure we get a fair hearing in Court, not just smoking mirrors but a real motion to bring these toxic loans and banks to justice. I am concerned with the accountability of the judicial system in Florida.
Robert its in all 50 states “I am concerned that the Florida courts unlike other States are favoring the banks ” . The banks are submitting the same fraudulent docs , Lost Notes, Assignment of Mortgages to every court in the country ,and yet they have most people buying into their ” its only a small error ” BS Its a few decent lawyers and citizens that have this huge economy killing scam moving into the light ever so slowly .. The out right fraud that caused the crash by banks only made the survivors stronger, today they are paying 1 million a day to keep the status quo . Yes there are a few wins for home owners that can be counted on 1 hand , but there are thousands of law suits pending , and a still falling economy that will only change direction when they fix the mortgages . Money is power – Stand up & return the Power to the People . Keep on rocking the boat !
Let’s see here, they are owned by Dow Jones, which is truly in bed with the criminal banks. Interesting now how even their own media is scratching their heads about the FDIC-member banks’ ponzi schemes.
Sell someone a car, take their money or sign a payment agreement ( note) and not give them a clear title. Go to court and see if the judge will excuse You for just sloppy bookkeeping or sloppy work.
Not a chance I guarantee you’ll have to produce the original note or else.
Its the same as with a car. No one argues that if you can’t produce the title to a car you want to sell proving its yours, you don’t have legal ownership or the right to sell it.
Who would buy a car if you couldn’t get clear, no question, title stating the person you are paying money to is the legal owner transferring an original, recorded, title to you?
The point is the same, the law is the same, the only difference is the amount of money involved between title (note) of a house and car.
Why this is made so complicated is the banks or lenders trying their hardest to confuse the issue.
It is really quite simple. Don’t let them draw you into a complicated case or laws hoping to confuse a jury. Keep it simple, use examples of buying anything else, and everyone will understand.
my understanding is the NOTE is a negotiable instrument and the banks need it to prove indebtedness?? so no note, no proof? true or false?
“Laurence E. Platt, a banking-industry lawyer at K&L Gates in Washington, concedes that banks may have been sloppy. But he says “the real assault on the legal system” are efforts by judges and local officials to strip lenders of their rightful ownership and make foreclosures impossible”
The REAL assult is from the scumbag bankers. “Strip Lenders of THEIR rightfull ownereship”? There is NO OWNERSHIP due to the CRIMINAL FRAUD tat we the tax payer bailed out. Then the scumbag banksters turn around and foreclose for full value…. I think not.
