RESPONSE:

Thanks for the info. A court order will usually do the trick. IN securitized transactions, a notice of sale from the Trustee is NOT proper since there are necessary and indispensable parties down and up the securitization chain that have legal, equitable and constructive rights, ownership, or control over the note and mortgage (Deed of Trust). Those must be named in a judicial foreclosure action. There is no way around that and any securitized loan that was sold by -non-judicial foreclosure is void for lack of proper jurisdiction and procedure. Title is clouded, as was found recently in a Texas case and several other cases that are now headed for appeals courts. Trustee breached fiduciary duty and contractual duty and so did the “lender”. The lender was paid and then got the property too. to add insult to injury the borrower can now be sued AGAIN by the real parties in interest, the investors, who possess the only claim to being holders in due course. These inestors are not in privity with any ofthe foreclosing parties — Trustee, Lender etc. Trustee should be removed for breaches of duty and a new one installed by the Court. Case should be referred to judicial foreclosure, if the new trustee determines that it can qualify for legal standing.

  1. When does the redemption period start? Is it 6 months prior to the Sheriff’s Sale date (Michigan Law) and doesn’t the Mortgage Co./Bank have to notify the homeowner or is it 6 months from the date of the Sheriff”s Sale?

  2. CORRECTION: In Michigan, the trustee CAN request a sheriff sale adjournment if the notice of sale is in his name. The following statute allows them that right. A MORTGAGOR can postpone the the sale if the need arises.

    MCL 600.3220 Sale; adjournment; notice; posting; publication.
    > Sec. 3220.
    > Such sale may be adjourned from time to time by the sheriff or other officer or person appointed to make such sale at the request of the party in whose name the notice of sale is published……

    The notice is usually published in MORTGAGORS name.

    This statute has been largly misunderstood because mortgagee’s are requesting sheriff sale adjournments on a regular basis.

    The statute is unconstitutional fue to it’s vaugeness.
