Senate committee adopts speedy foreclosure bill
by Kim Miller
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved this morning its version of a quickie foreclosure bill that would reduce the amount of time a bank could pursue a homeowner for back debt, and aims to rapidly churn through cases where a home is abandoned.
The 5-2 vote in favor of Senate Bill 1890 adopted much of the language in a similar House proposal, and moves it to the next Senate committee. Sponsors said it has two more committee stops in the Senate and one in the House.
Opponents of the bill say that while the intent is to hasten foreclosures on abandoned homes, it will trample due process rights and put more onus on the homeowner to disprove the bank’s case and on judges to ferret out bogus documents.
Also of concern is that homeowners who lose their home in a fraudulent foreclosure would be limited to monetary reparations, rather than having their property rights restored, and the bill would allow any lien holder to pursue a faster foreclosure.
Lynn Drysdale, an attorney with the Jacksonville-area Legal Aid Society, said the bill is unnecessary because banks already have the power to foreclosure more quickly on an abandoned property, but choose not to.

Fast forward about 30 minutes to get to S1890.
One senator had the audacity to judge people facing foreclosure, saying something to the effect “I know none of us (senators) would ever allow something like this to happen to us” (referring to any financial distress, much less financial devastation leading to BK or foreclosure). What gall!
RT NEWS REPORTING 1 IN 13 AMERICANS HAVE WOKEN UP OR HAVE BEEN FORCED INTO NOT PAYING THEIR FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED MORTGAGE AND ARE NOW IN FRAUDCLOSURE…..LOOKS LIKE PRETTY SOON , IF NOT RIGHT NOW, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT NO ONE IS IN FRAUDCLOSURE…..!!!!
I hope you are right. There are signs, rumblings. We need to keep our efforts going.
I watched the entire session – start to finish. For one thing, that (chairperson) Florres- just where in the world did she come from? I mean, rude and obnoxious is too polite! While she allowed all the time in the world for the proponents of the bill she kept interrupting all those who opposed it and down right cut some of them off to the point of saying to Drysdayle – “ok, you’ve got 10 seconds!” at the point where Lynn was making the point about the banksters being the problem; not homeowners! We need to motivate those who voted against the bill to see where so many of our constitutional rights will be violated with this bill…2 of them already see it! It was clear that 2 others are sitting on the fence but seem AFRAID to oppose…wonder why? One of them even mentions the banks’ attorneys being held responsible for the mess…well, how about the banks themselves being held accountable??? We need to put the pressure on those 5 remaining. This bill is bad stuff and if we don’t get it defeated we are once again losing more and more of our property rights and our own individual rights under the constitution.
Bobbi, I was there and am going back to the house judiciary, and anyone else that can make the trip MUST DO SO!!!! It will be heard @ 8AM Wednesday morning (UGH!!!!! I HATE MORNINGS) in the Florida House Judiciary Committee 404 HOB (think that means House Building)
