Editor’s Notes: Bank of America is smarter than most. It has created a web of companies whose function is to perform activities that hide the fact that it is Bank of America, and there are other pretender lenders who hide behind this entity who suddenly appears as “trustee” or some other entity claiming the right to enforce the note, foreclose the mortgage, lift the stay or whatever. Recontrust is one of them, and it agrees with its “customers” that it will never make a REAL claim to the obligation, note or mortgage. But it also agrees to make claims and pursue foreclosures as though they were the creditor, reporting back later on what happened.
RECONTRUST APPARENTLY HAS 12 EMPLOYEES. Yet it handles virtually the whole country for Countrywide Loans, BofA and others. From what I can see it is a sham corporation with sham functions much the same as MERS and other players invented to make this process more complicated. Taking the cue from one of our readers, I did some additional research and found no less than four addresses in four states for this company, obviously designed to give you the run-around. So if you contact one office you are told to contact another. And if you contest their right to issue a notice of default, notice of sale or file a foreclosure lawsuit or defend your own lawsuit to stop them they have plenty of newly fabricated paperwork to justify their position, because that is apparently all they do.
If you want to test this, just call them and ask about a property that is not in foreclosure. They have nothing. So the only reason we see them is to provide cover for the pretender lenders and give them plausible deniability if they come up against a judge or has their number and now wants to award damages, attorney fees, or fines.

Walter,
One more thing…..GS stands for Goldman Sachs…..the ‘R’ is the risk rating of the security!

Walter, please allow me to help clear up a ton of confusion with these securitized loans using your words below…..
“walter pineda, on May 14, 2010 at 1:04 pm Said:
I filed a complaint with OCC who mailed questioner to BAC. BAC anwered I was not interested in staying in my home nor requested a workout or loan mod. I’m sending the the OCC all my correspondence between BAC and myself. Bac also stated BNY is the owner of the note and the INVESTOR! I calledf the note BNY and was informed they are the trustee and BAC is the servicer owner of my note! I reserched edgar for infor on gsr mort. loan trust 2003-9, no information at all. GSR 2004,2007 etc all are registered. You may recall that BAC sold my note to grs mort. loan trust 2003-9 in feb. 2010, and that I believe they had previously sold it in 2003, however it seems BAC have covered their tracks very well and may get over on the OCC. Any comments will help. Thanks”
“BNY is the owner of the note and the INVESTOR”
a. This is the “shell game” that’s going on today between the banks and consumers. To be the owner of the Note, it is held in Trust as with a Trustee.
b. BNY is acting as a Trustee for a large PSA pool of corporations such as tobacco, food, cosmetic, retirement pensions companies etc. that INVESTED a lot of money in a PSA TRUST held by BNY, who further took that INVESTED MONEY and turned it into derivative trading on wall street using the bond trading market.
c. BNY cannot be the Note holder, they are acting only as a Trustee to a PSA on behalf of hundreds of corporation foreign and domestic bought into this scheme.
d. BNY cannot be a Trustee and Beneficiary to INVESTORS in the same sentence!
“I called BNY and was informed they are the trustee and BAC is the servicer owner of the note!”
a. Are you beginning to see the “run-around” here. BNY is correct in saying they are the Trustee, but they DIDN”T tell you to what they are TRUSTEE of….. which is a PSA POOL of “outside corporations and Investors”.
b. BOA / BAC is a servicer only according to the PSA agreements they bought into and need to abide by according to SEC filings and “rules”
There is a very INCORRECT position that consumers are buying into with conversations with their “servicing” entity. The servicer has no dog in the fight…..they even state in their recorded message that they are “BILL COLLECTORS”!
Walter, ask BNY in writing via QWR or any other manner you find best, to send you PROOF that they hold your Note. One other thing, look very close into the “chain of custody” regarding transfer of your Note from one party to another.

A realtor who read my posts below contacted me and gave me some info…below is from an email I sent to this realtor, thanking the realtor for the info–the document referred to in the email is svc1005DOTpdf…you can find it at efanniemaeDOTcom…apparently Fannie Mae was beta testing what has now become its new policy in states like mine (MS) in which they figured no one would challenge them…
“I’m glad you attached that servicer manual change from Fannie Mae–being a realtor, do you have a copy of it?…
At any rate, the procedure for foreclosure they described in the manual is exactly what they did to me–had the servicer “prepare a mortgage assignment from MERS to the servicer, and then bring the foreclosure in its [i.e., the servicer’s] own name.” That section of the policy change is invaluable to me, since it very succinctly and in no uncertain terms makes a big part of my argument for me, to wit:
a. Fannie establishes that they’re outlining this procedure to be used for mortgages “owned or securitized by Fannie Mae.”
b. As I understand it, assigning such mortgages would necessarily mean that only Fannie Mae or investors in Fannie Mae-issued securities could be the proper party to legally assign the mortgages, because of the well-worn legal truism that “the mortgage follows the note,” and not the other way around.
c. So by instructing servicers–who don’t own the notes, which is explicitly spelled out in point “a” above–to prepare assignments from MERS (who also doesn’t own the notes per point “a”) to themselves, Fannie is essentially inducing servicers to commit fraud, knowingly and openly. Fannie is saying to servicers, “we own these notes, but we want you to act like MERS does and that MERS is then assigning the mortgage to you–and it won’t be any actual employee of MERS that does this, it will be one of your employees [that does it].”
This fits what they did to me EXACTLY! BoA even admitted in its answer to my complaint that Fannie Mae held the note even though in the notice of sale a few days earlier, BoA said it was the legal holder of the note…”
ReconTrust filed a NOD on behalf of BAC “servicer” for GRS Mort. Trust 2003-9, seven days later filed an assigment to GSR Mort. Trust of the deed of trust and note dated 8-13-03. I had no notice of GRS or Reontrust until seven years later. It looks like BAC assigned a note in2010 that they sold in 2003. It also appears a pattern of fraud is occuring with all of us as their victims. If anyone knows what GSR Mortgage stands for please inform. I any one is interested in exposing the pattern let me know. I have 40 days before the notice of sale. I’m also pursuing this pro se. good luck to all and hope to hear from you.
i have a letter from tha lawyer for their firm telling me that MERS owns my note. and then they filed notice of trustee sale. b of a had to stop becaue of countrywide settlement.
today BofA offered permanent loan mod- none of the details though
Valery,
I sent them a debt validation letter which they ignored. I went down to the county courthouse to see what assignments if any, had been filed. I found it, saw that it was clearly bogus (thanks to livinglies), and hired a lawyer to get a temporary restraining order to stop the sale. To my surprise, the order was granted and the sale was postponed. This was done only 15 days before the sale.
I can tell you more about it at mreggs@eggsistense.com.
HELP
I just got a Notice of Trustee from these guys for my ex’s loan. I am soley on title, but never received a default notice. What if anything are you all doing to fight these guys??? My sale date is 4/27/10 and I just round this posted on my door yesterday!
Oh, now I see where the 12 employee figure came from. Do you think that’s all their employees or just the ones registered on spokeDOTcom? This an invaluable post for me, Neil!
USE RATIFICATION TO DEFEAT THE FACT RECONTRUST DID NOT ORIGINATE THE LOAN. THAT IS, RECONTRUST FUNDED THE ORIGINATOR BY BUYING THE LOAN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. PLUS, NOTE THE RECENT SOLICITATION RE REFINANCE, SANS DISCLOSURE, ALSO CONSTITUTES RATIFICATION.
Recontrust is a defendant in my lawsuit. They were the original trustee listed on my deed of trust. They were “re-appointed” as trustee for foreclosure purposes by a BAC Home Loans Servicing employee named Jill Arnold. This “re-apppointment” was the only document she signed related to my foreclosure in which she did not pretend to work for MERS or Recontrust.
I’m pretty sure she works for BAC because it turns out that an old friend of mine works for Bank of America in trustee relations, and this friend’s name appears on notices of sale I’ve seen online as an “assistant secretary” of Recontrust, even though my friend says she works for Bank of America. So I assume that Jill Arnold really works for BAC–she has to, since Recontrust is a shell corporation.
I’d like to know more about Recontrust only having 12 employees, as this will be very useful in my suit…which I am continuing pro se.
Yeah, I’m dealing with them now (or trying to…they just don’t care like the the others they are a subsidiary of).
You really think they are part of the web of companies just because they have the same address as Countrywide, now Bank of America, America’s Wholesale Lender, RECONTRUST (notice the word “CON” in it…), BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP, Bank of America Home Loans, and the other million or so of them. (indeed they are Neil!)
BTW, on our situation, RECONTRUST says that the “Creditor” (and capitalized) for our home loan is BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP…first time we’ve heard of this, particularly in light of the alleged assignment by MERS to BONY Mellon after RECONTRUST recorded the NOD as agent for MERS and subsequently substituted as trustee…it bloody never ends with these people!
It is also interesting how …[t]he present beneficary under such deed of trust has executed and delivered to RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A. (yet another typestyle/name for them) such deed of trust and all documents evidencing obligations secured thereby…” but you can’t get them when requested to anyone through a QWR.
If there is a championship trophy for winning the shell game awards, they’ve got my vote!
I guess conspiracy doesn’t apply when the golden rule is in play (those with the gold, make the rules!)
