What should I look for when looking at documents received from
my mortgage servicer?
If you are like many defendants in a foreclosure action or a debtor in a bankruptcy case, you
received a thick packet of documents which look official and have tins of fine print on them You probably assume that
if they came from a "bank" like Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America or Citi ( or any of their subsidiaries) the
documents must mean something and they must have been authenticated. I am inviting
you to take a closer look.
First, go back to the first day you closed on your loan. Who was the original lender? This
is entity knownas the "originator" of your loan. If your loan started with Countrywide, Wachovia , Washinton
Mutual, Lehman Brothers or any other entity which is no longer in business, the party trying to enforce the loan needs to
show some connection andinterest in your loan. If you have a document known as an Assignment of Mortgage take a close
look at the date and the names on the dosument. TheAssignor is the party transferring its interest in the mortgage and
the Assignee is the party accepting the transfer. If the Assignor is your originator, go to FDIC.gov and look up the
institution to determine if the originator was active as of the date of the assignment. If the Assignor was not a vabkle
entity on the date of the assignment, in all liklihood you have a false document.
Take a look at the date of the assignment and think
back, was your loan already behind or in default on the date of the assignment? If it was, ask yourself, WHY would the assignee
accept a non-perfoming loan into its prtfolio and how would it explain purchasing non-performing loans to its shareholders
in the middle of the nations most serious mortgage crisis in history? For example, lets assume you stopped paying your
mortgage in June of 2009 and the assignment attached to the foreclosure complaint served on you is dated January 2010.
Why would any banking entity accept a loan that hasnt been paid in 6 months?
Now take a look at the parties identified in the assignments.
Do you see " MERS" or "Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems" acting in any capacity including as a
nominee of the assignor? Heres is some news for you...MERS is not an entity with any authority to transfer anything.
It is merely a registration system documenting rransfers within a system It does not have the capacity to transfer anything
because it never owned the right to transfer anything - period.
Where is the Assignment of Mortgage notarized?
If the Assignor is located in North Carolina and the Assignee is located in Texas, why is the assignment being notarized
in Minnesota? The company LPS a./k/a "LPS Default Solutions" a/k/a DocX are all document production companies
which manufacture documents for use by the mortgages servicers and their attorneys in the foreclosure and bankruptcy processes.
Minnesota and Florida are the two home bases for these companies and if our document is notarized in either state, chances
are it is a fabricated document coming from one of these entities. Think critically for a minute...why would
an officer of a company in New York travel to Minnesota to have a document notarized?
Call the secretary of
state for the state identified on the notary's seal and ask for the business address and telephone number on public record
for the licensed notary. Call the number and ask what company you have reached or if you are shy anbout it, you can
do a reverse look up online and learn the location of the notary's employer. If it happens to be the same as the Assignee
or a known document production company, you likely have a false document in your hands.
