I must say, this guy is awesome…

From the Robo-signer rejection letter…

RE: Request for Recording of ____________________________(the “Recording”)

Enclosed please find your Recording, based upon the fact that it is signed by  a  known robo-signer, I am returning it to you.  I will record it upon receipt of a signed affidavit, a copy of which I attach hereto (the “Affidavit”).  The Affidavit must be signed under the pains and penalties of perjury that the Recording is accurate and the  signatures of both the signatory on the Recording and notary public’s signature are authentic.  As I am sure you are aware, MGL Chapter 266, Section 35A (b) (4) provides that:

“Whoever intentionally:  files or causes to be filed with a registrar of deeds any document that contains a material statement that is false or a material omission, knowing such document to contain a material statement that is false or a material omission, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than 5 years or by imprisonment in the house of correction for not more than 2 and one-half years or by a fine of not more than $10,000 in the case of a natural person or not more than $100,000 in the case of any other person, or by both such fine and imprisonment.”

Once the Affidavit is prepared and notarized, please forward it and your Recording to my attention with a recording fee of $75  for each document, and I will make sure the documents are put on record forthwith.

As the Register of Deeds for the Southern Essex District of Massachusetts and the keeper of the records,  I  am very concerned with some lenders business practices and how they may affect homeowner’s chains of title. I truly believe in the integrity of the land recordation system.  Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely,

John O’Brien
Register of Deeds
Southern Essex District
