Nationwide foreclosures are up over pre-pandemic levels

(BREAKING NEWS/OP-ED –) Attom Data (which supplies information to RealtyTrac®) has released a fairly comprehensive report which indicates that foreclosure starts are up 167% from a year ago! What’s worse is that the average time to foreclose nationwide has decreased 4% from a year ago, which can only mean that the banks and their mortgage loan servicers have become more aggressive in their foreclosure processes.

California, Florida, Texas, Illinois and New York led the pack out of 233 metropolitan statistical areas. Markets seeing a lower decline in foreclosure starts were Tulsa, Kansas City, Birmingham, Minneapolis and Cincinnati. In sum total, 92,634 properties had foreclosure filings, whether it be default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions. Lenders repossessed 10,515 properties from American homeowners during the third quarter of 2022. The reason, according to an Attom Data spokesman, was because borrowers were leveraging their equity and selling their homes and downsizing rather than risking an equity loss due to foreclosure.

The report is here:

u.s.-foreclosure-activity-continues-to-increase-quarterly-attomDownload

ANALYSIS: Now, let’s figure out why there is an uptick in foreclosure activity.

The foregoing figures are only for the third quarter of 2022; thus, we have to factor in similar amounts for the first two quarters and the last quarter, which, taking into consideration the average third quarter numbers, the total figure for the year would be somewhere around 370,000 homes this year. If you look at the rates during the 2009-2016 foreclosure crisis, which totaled 10.2-million homes seized, the total foreclosure numbers are coming in at around 4.45-million that can be expected over the next 7 years. That’s nearly 50% of the previous total of homes seized during the first foreclosure crisis. And you can bet that BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street (major institutional investors) will be buying these homes up and converting them into rental properties. How’s that for turning this country into a nation of renters? Clouded titles and all.

What has happened to the U.S. economy since the beginning of the decade?

Up until January of 2021, America had it good. We were energy independent. Gas prices were low. Grocery prices were low because the cost of shipping goods to market was lower. The supply chain was functioning at about 50% due to the pandemic but largely because people were too afraid to go to work because of media fearmongering. They would have rather stayed home and lived off the government dole than go back to work, post-pandemic. So, in short, it would appear the “chickens are coming home to roost” (as it were.

When the pandemic actually hit (March 17, 2020), Americans bought into the government’s crap hook, line and sinker. It became impossible for many to go to work and some were able to make arrangements to work from home. Many lost their jobs out of fear they would catch COVID-19 and die and didn’t bother showing up for work. Foolishly, state governments bought into the lies about mask wearing, social distancing, business closures and finally the jabs (delivered by and through the media, which promoted it as a vaccine, when in fact they weren’t). Over 220-million Americans received at least 2 jabs before many in that population either suffered adverse effects or death. I would anticipate that not only did the hospitals get rich (at $300,000-$600,000 per patient) due to government incentives, but Americans who refused the jab due to government mandates lost their jobs and thus, were unable to pay their mortgages. Despite the moratoriums, those days of grace would soon end and the foreclosure mills were all too happy to jump on the foreclosure bandwagon.

Unfortunately for most Americans, they continue to remain ignorant as to the fact that most of their mortgage loans were securitized. One of my associates has been fighting his foreclosure for over 13+ years and when ordered to pay attorney’s fees to the other side’s lawyers, he wrote a specific payment check to the REMIC (an acronym for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit), which is what accepted all of these securitized loans, allegedly, and also very untimely. Here’s the attorney’s fees check:

Notice anything interesting about how the checks were made out? They have yet to be cashed … because the REMIC is closed and has been since 2007. If this isn’t proof in the pudding, I don’t know what is.

The Court agreed that since the Plaintiff was the REMIC, the check should be made payable to them, for in turn, the REMIC would turn around and pay their customary attorney’s fees for litigation expenses. Unfortunately, one can’t cash a check that has a restrictive endorsement when the payee doesn’t exist.

This is what the bank’s attorneys don’t like … a real smart ass. And I mean he’s smart. He’s done his homework. The attorneys in his case were clearly retained by the mortgage loan servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., who has no contract with the borrower. You see why they’re frustrated with this case? Wells Fargo isn’t the only mortgage loan servicer committing fraud on the courts, filing on behalf of the closed REMIC either.

I am currently working on a California bankruptcy case which has posited similar research results. In that case, the REMIC trust settled with the investors, which means that no one suffered a financial loss and it’s clear the servicer is trying to steal the house from the bankruptcy court. Bankruptcy judges do not like fraud on the court, especially by officers of the court. The only way that this case has a good outcome is if the owners can defeat the motion to lift stay with enough factual information and witnesses to overcome the other side’s objections. Because I managed to conjure up witnesses (an attorney and a former bank lawyer who handled foreclosures for a major financial institution), things might not go well for the other side’s lawyer.

I still do chain of title assessments and consult trial attorneys on foreclosure matters. The foregoing issues are certainly playing into the statistics seen above. But what’s worse, when these people are being served with notice, rather than fight to stay in their homes until they can come up with a Plan B, they just pack up and move, just like they did during the first foreclosure crisis in 2008. And herein lies the rub.

History does indeed repeat itself. Only this time, homeowners may be getting smarter.

Discovery you can’t afford to miss: the SEC!

(OP-ED) — The opinions expressed herein reflect those of the author and should not necessarily be construed as legal advice; however, the material has been vetted by an attorney who loves the thought process behind what is expressed here.

While everyone is getting the “rope-a-dope” from the banks and their mortgage loan servicers, no one’s looking to the enforcement arm of Wall Street … the revolving door into the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“USSEC”). The author will abbreviate this agency, who is supposed to enforce violations of securities laws; however, seemingly, apparently hasn’t been doing so to the extent that We the People need them to.

The author of this post held off posting this article for the sake of clarification, insomuch that jumping the gun and sending the readers of this post on a wild goose chase for nothing would have been totally discrediting and thus, non-productive. Now that clarification has been achieved, it’s no holds barred.

The author devised a set of discovery, which was then turned into more productive aspects of a means to an end. That discovery revolves around the USSEC, who has the goods you’re looking for if you happen to be facing a REMIC trust, which most of you are since most of your loans were securitized.

This concept and thought process involves a two-pronged attack on the USSEC. Here’s step one:

If you’ll visit sec.gov, you’ll notice the search box in the upper, right-hand corner of the website.

Type in ONLY the REMIC trust’s “Series Number” (for example 2004-NC3, which I will reference in this post as the example). Do NOT type in the entire trust’s name and gobbledygook as you’ll end up with non-descript stuff you can’t use. Once the actual REMIC’s name appears below the search box, make a note of the “CIK” number by whatever means possible because this information will become part of your discovery request.

Rule #1: You cannot serve discovery on a non-party to a lawsuit!

Don’t even try it. You will be wasting your time and money. Instead, the attorney the author spoke with zeroed in on the fact that if you make the USSEC a third-party defendant in your case, the courts will most likely throw them out (dismiss them from your suit) at the first opportunity, much to the objections of the mortgage loan servicer (who’s bring the foreclosure against you trying to reimburse its own coffers), who will then figure out what you’re trying to get at. Thus, the attorney suggests getting a subpoena issued straightaway against the USSEC, asking for certified copies of information directly related to the REMIC trust you’re dealing with. Here’s where the concept attempts to get results:

Submit a complete and true certified copy of the 424(b)(5) Prospectus for 2004-NC3, filed with the USSEC on April 12, 2004.

Submit a complete and true certified copy of the Form 8-K, also known as Current Report for 2004-NC3, filed with the USSEC on May 3, 2004, as shown on the Edgar Entity Landing Page with a Reporting Date of April 16, 2004.

EXPLANATION OF WHAT’S BEEN REQUESTED THUS FAR …

From the pull-down menu at sec.gov (when you’ve retrieved the REMIC’s files), print and save the list of all of the documents that have been filed with the USSEC on that particular REMIC. This should not be considered as over broad and burdensome to the USSEC since all of these files are contained within the USSEC’s database. They can easily be retrieved and the fee for sending it all to you is $4.00 in postage.

In this particular example, the pull-down menu, which was printed out in full, contained 19 documents, all of which became part of the request for production under subpoena.

You can either ask for all of these documents (that are contained within the USSEC’s files on the REMIC, which in this case was 19) outside of a lawsuit if you wish to get an advance look-see at everything. That’s an option if you don’t want to subpoena the records from the USSEC. However, there’s more to the story than what we’ve covered so far. This is where the subpoena comes in with the double whammy. A lot depends on the timing of the request and whether you’re attacking the servicer ahead of the foreclosure. You’ll want to depose someone with direct, first-hand knowledge of the REMIC you’re going after.

And here’s step two:

Get the court clerk to issue a subpoena to the USSEC to get them to produce someone with relevant knowledge of the documents that can verify and validate any violations of the governing regulations of the REMIC trust. (Again, this is framed as a suggestion and not given as legal advice!)

Inside of the subpoena, you can demand the USSEC check ALL of its records and produce whatever it has, in certified form, for the following (and this is just a sample):

Submit complete and true certified copies, if any you have in your possession or control, of all notes, memoranda and agreements for any certificateholder settlements known to the USSEC for  2004-NC3. 

Submit complete and true certified copies, if any you have in your possession or control, of all known litigation filed by any certificateholder, known to the USSEC for  2004-NC3. 

Submit complete and true certified copies, if any you have in your possession or control, of all known USSEC-related prosecutorial actions taken against 2004-NC3. 

Submit complete and true certified copies, if any you have in your possession or control, of the mortgage loan documents which name the Plaintiffs as the Borrowers that demonstrated that the trustee of 2004-NC3 received the documents described on Page S-75 of the 2004-NC3’s 424(b)(5) Prospectus according to the stated governing regulations. 

Submit a complete and true certified copy, if any you have in your possession or control, of any document that demonstrates the negotiation or transfer of the Plaintiff’s mortgage loan and all related documents therein, which specifically identify the date these mortgage loan documents, including all assignments of mortgage (or deed of trust) thereto, that were documented as part of the transfer from the Depositor to the REMIC trust by the trust’s Cut-Off Date.

You’ll want to review all of the trust’s “FILED” documents first, because the Amendments inside of those REMICs may reveal changes in the number of certificate holders receiving the 8-K’s and 10-K’s and may further reveal the actual “condition” of the REMIC before and after it closed. You’ll need this information for the next step.

Rule #2: You cannot depose a non-party to the suit without relevant cause!

This is a great way to get the mortgage loan servicer’s attention because if the REMIC trust settled out with all of the certificate holders, then the mortgage loan servicer, the real party bringing the foreclosure, has no standing because it can’t prove concrete injury-in-fact required under Spokeo v. Robins. Thus, it has no standing to pursue a foreclosure. And it’s going to fight you tooth and nail to keep its position in the suit because it wants to steal your property.

Don’t expect the mortgage loan servicer and its attorneys to sit idly by while you depose someone with knowledge of the particular REMIC trust. They’ll have their attorneys in the deposition, so you’ll have to craft your questions in such a way so as to expose the bad behavior on the part of the servicer’s employees when it comes to having the USSEC deponent examine the recorded assignment(s), specifically for:

  1. Who prepared the assignment? (Was it the law firm or the servicer’s employees?)
  2. Who executed the assignment? (Was it someone who wasn’t really who they said they were?)
  3. When was the assignment executed? (Well after the Cut-Off Date of the REMIC trust?)
  4. When was the assignment recorded? (Well after the Closing Date of the REMIC trust?)
  5. What do the governing regulations for this particular REMIC state about Assignment of the Mortgage Loans? (Is it obvious to the USSEC deponent that the regulations were violated?)
  6. Has the USSEC ever been notified by anyone to investigate this particular REMIC trust?
  7. Does the USSEC have any records of whether or not a credit default swap counterparty paid the certificate holders in full?
  8. Does the USSEC have any records of whether or not any default insurance policies paid the certificate holders in full?
  9. Does the USSEC have any records of whether or not there were any settlements wherein the certificate holders were paid in full or in part; thus settling any future payments due to them?
  10. Has the USSEC ever investigated this REMIC for any securities violations or irregularities?

In other words (and this is just a smattering of all of the questions to be asked of your USSEC deponent) … you’re trying to get the USSEC deponent’s attention to the fact that he/she can testify as to the fact that none of the governing regulations for the REMIC were complied with and that under New York Trust Law, they are void. Any question relevant to violations of the REMIC’s governing regulations would require a statement from the USSEC deponent that could be inferred to be a conclusion of law and the other side will object, but the comment will still go on the record, where the judge can see it.

This is a direct way to get someone in authority to see the assignments as fraudulent and to initiate a potential investigation, both civil and criminal, which may force the mortgage loan servicer to back off rather than run the risk of an exposed criminal prosecution.

You want the judge to see the REMIC for what it is and what the servicer is actually trying to do. Because most judges think they’re pensions are tied to these REMICs, to discover that the REMIC has been closed and the certificate holders paid would mean that the servicer (who has no contract with you) can triple-dip by stealing your home and that the judge doesn’t have to worry about his pension is going to be affected by making the proper ruling and kicking the mortgage loan servicer out of court.

If the investors (certificate holders) settled the case with the REMIC and accepted payment in full, how then can they come into court and claim they were financially harmed? They can’t … that’s the point. They’d have to prove they were damaged and if they got an insurance settlement and were paid in full, they weren’t damaged; thus, the mortgage loan servicer would be potentially committing fraud on the court to attempt to introduce evidence to the contrary.

Remember, in order to issue a subpoena, you have to file suit. You can use the SEC’s own forms to request all of the documents contained in the REMIC’s file for the shipping fee and they will send them certified (outside of the litigation); however, that takes time and doing it outside of litigation means the court has no control over the outcome of the request for anything from the USSEC. The fees for deposing a single party or entity these days is $3,000 – $5,000 depending on where the deposition takes place. However, if you’re trying to protect a million dollar property, no stone should be left unturned.

Again, this isn’t legal advice. It’s just plain common sense.

Vindication Comes In Small Packages

(BREAKING NEWS) — The author of this post is also the author of the Forensic Examination of the Osceola County, Florida public records. The Examination was conducted in July of 2014 by an 8-member team, with the information compiled and delivered to the Osceola County Clerk of the Circuit Court, Hon. Armando Ramirez (now retired) by the author of this post on December 30, 2014 by DK Consultants LLC of Texas. The examination was supervised by a bar-licensed attorney, Allen D. West, Esq. (Redondo Beach, California) and paid for out of Osceola County funds. The results are made a part of this post. This is a report, not an indictment; however, the author has been getting calls from attorneys and homeowners all over the U.S. who have downloaded this report and discovered similarities between the information contained in this report and their own legal scenarios. The author of this post serves as a consultant to homeowners and their attorneys in foreclosure and title matters.

NOTE: The report does not constitute legal advice and the exhibits that were attached to this report are voluminous; thus, any request by the readers of this post for viewing of the exhibits should be sent to cloudedtitles@gmail.com. Because some of the exhibits are NOT in PDF format, there may be a charge assessed for procurement of certain exhibits.

The reason for the article on vindication is due to recent events occurring within a court case in the State of Kansas in the U.S. District Court, Wichita Division, where the Osceola County Forensic Examination was cited, under protest, with a motion to strike made by attorneys for the Bank of New York Mellon, which was denied by the Court. This means the Osceola County Forensic Examination sticks as evidence in the case. Needless to say, the lawyers for BONY Mellon were not happy. The Amended Complaint is shown below:

The interesting thing about court cases is that homeowners get discovery. The author of this post sees certain things he would have suggested been done differently. The author is expecting a call from chief counsel for the Plaintiffs. This attorney (at one time) was the U.S. Attorney for the District of Kansas, so he clearly understands the national gravity of the gravamen of this case.

This is not the author’s only audit of county land records. See below:

williamson-county-real-property-records-audit_january-29-2013Download

Ever since the 49 states attorneys general inked an agreement with the mortgage loan servicers, who were found to be the overseers of the suspect document manufacturing that most homeowners and their attorneys deem suspect, not soon after the ink was dry the servicers started up these fraudulent practices again. The only thing servicers understand is the threat of jail time. They have so much in their war chests they can fight multiple lawsuits in multiple venues. This worked in a case this author put together for an attorney in Florida, where the Lee County Circuit Court judge was directed (through a prayer in the pleadings) to order the Clerk of that Circuit Court to produce certified copies of the assignment of mortgage and power of attorney and submit it to the State’s Attorney for criminal referral and investigation. Soon after the counterclaim was filed, the homeowner’s attorney moved for depositions of the Defendants (the actual author, signer and notary of the assignment). This prompted a move by the servicer’s attorney to move for a settlement, which included a withdrawal of the counterclaim with prejudice. What scared the servicer and its attorney is that they faced implications as accessories to the fraudulent documents complained about. The actual complaint was only 11 pages, plus 6 pages of exhibits. Do you think a judge would actually be in favor of reading such a short complaint? Easily explained. Easy to get through. No bitching. Just stated facts supported by two publicly-recorded documents and citations of the law supporting the action and requests for criminal referral. THAT is what scared the other side into submission.

By virtue of the fact (Paragraph 67 of the Amended Complaint shown in this post) that the Osceola County Forensic Examination was cited and allowed to remain in the complaint (which didn’t go far enough (IMHO) in going after the actual perpetrators themselves) clearly demonstrates vindication for all the crap the author and his team took in bring the Forensic Examination to light. The Kansas Court chose to recognize the report’s value, even though the bank’s attorneys referred to it (similarly to what Florida attorney Matt Weidner referred to it as on an Orlando TV station interview) as, “not worth the paper it was printed on.”

Again, the similarities contained in the report and the assertions made of the suspect fraud contained within the records themselves was enough to convince a federal judge to allow the report to remain on the record. Again, the 758-page report is a “report”, not an indictment. It was a legitimate report, considered fully legitimate by the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Osceola County, Florida, to be published on his website during his tenure in office. That report and the attorney opinion letter accompanying that report is still on the Clerk’s website, even though the Clerk changed hands when Hon. Armando Ramirez (84) retired. The new Clerk, Kelvin Soto, kept the documents in place, including the warning about filing false documents that pops up on the website (osceolaclerk.com) when you access it, which the author of this post helped to draft. Whether the filing of fraudulent documents in that county’s records still continues would be the subject of another forensic examination.

This is one of the reasons that this post’s author and attorney Allen D. West, Esq. taught a class in Las Vegas on The C & E on Steroids! which contains a book and an 8-DVD educational set with accompanying notes and templates on how the author and attorney West constructed the actual declaratory relief complaint. There are only 18 copies left of this kit (hint, hint). This author will not reprint any more of them. Those who are serious about pursuing this option will entertain its legal value.

Every aggrieved homeowner wants to see the signers of these fraudulent documents “hung from the gallows”; however, this will not happen unless you actually make the signers and creators of these documents themselves actual targets. They will “sing for their supper” and rat out their supervisors if put in the hot seat. It’s a small price to pay to see justice done, isn’t it? If you want to see a potential criminal RICO action spawn out of something so trivial, then entertaining an option like this might be well worth your time, effort and expense.

Most people don’t care about a single homeowner’s foreclosure action; however, this case in chief is not that. The homeowners paid off their mortgage! It’s WHO they paid is what’s at issue. They may have paid the wrong party! They can’t even get a legitimate satisfaction of mortgage! A title company examiner claimed their recorded release was suspect! How can they have marketable title? No reasonable person would buy their home, knowing that the wrong party might have been paid and that another party could come back in the future and attempt foreclosure on that same property. Slander of title is an actual damage. A criminal referral within such a case is more than just a slap on the wrist to a mortgage loan servicer. It’s damning and could open a Pandora’s Box the likes of which the servicing industry has yet to see but is all to necessary to vindicate everyone whose mortgage loans were securitized.

The foreclosure mess created by the banks is still plaguing the courts. The political corruption within the court systems in America continues to be exposed with the challenge by homeowners of each of their foreclosure cases, even bringing forth corrupt justices who continually side with the banks despite the overwhelming evidence of suspect documents being offered. The number of lawsuits, according to L. Randall Wray, Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (in his past article, “Memo to Banks: You are Toast”), has exposed the fact that “the banks are getting sued from here to Pluto by homeowners, soldiers and sailors, Fannie and Freddie, PIMCO, the NYFed, and just about anybody with access to a lawyer. And, increasingly, the banks are losing.”

Even though this article was published in 2011, the suits continue and banks don’t want to lose more cases. They would rather settle than create bad case law for themselves. Can you blame them for not wanting to go to jail in addition to pay out fines and restitution. The day of real judgment is coming.

Vindication, no matter how small, is still sweet.
