    You said a majic yellow marker & a microscope is all one needs to prove a paper forgery? Please explain what you mean, or even call me to discuss. What exactly am I looking for & what can I prove?

    C. Tony Crouse’s ‘practice area’:Real Estate Title Examination

    What a hoot. His actions could cloud the very titles he touches!

    I wonder if it is time for the law firm of McCalla-Rhymer to get a whole bunch of attention.

    Fannie/Freddie work is going there. They also had a big infusion of capital, just like a number of other firms involved in foreclosure mill processing.

    I decided to google this guy, C. Troy Crouse, and I noticed this interesting tidbit on his profile page on martindale.com. He made it to the top…he’s #1!!

    Profile Visibility*
    #1 in weekly profile views out of 14,201 lawyers in Atlanta, Georgia

    Wow! What a coincidence! C. Troy Crouse is one of the two guys [along with a Thomas Sears] that supposedly signed my foreclosure documents in Cobb County, GA. The document said they were both “Vice President – Loan Documentation”. Personally, I can’t imagine spending all that time studying in law school so I could one day become a robo-signer. But at least I can sleep at night…just not in my house…someone else sleeps there now.

    Mike,

    I know about the multiple sales.

    But now they are trying to use that worthless copy of a copy to justify their claim to the BK court!

  6. Mike H, on November 6, 2010 at 5:00 pm said:

    The real question is “How many times did they sell it to gullible investors?’ mY GUESS IS MULTIPLE TIMES!

  7. Concerned, on November 6, 2010 at 1:36 pm said:

    In CA, the best chance of getting a judge to look at the note is in BK court. Yet McCalla-Rymer, working on Litton’s behalf, who are in turn apparently working on BoNY-Mellon Trustee for CWABS, behalf, only dredge up a copy of the copy that the Tiltle company produced from it’s electronic files.

    I don’t even have any signatures on that thing to subject to an examination. It is STAMPED as a ‘Certified True and Correct Copy – First American Title Company by (initials of someone with the title company)’.

    That is what they included in their Proof of Claim filing.

    Does that mean that I should be able to have my Auntie FATC write out a check to me that she does not sign, then take that never-signed piece of paper to a scanner, scan it into my computer, then years later print out a copy of that scanned but never-signed and never-endorsed check and TRY to present it to Bank of America to get it cashed? (forget for the moment that a check becomes stale).

    That is the parallel document that has been obtained from the TITLE company.

    I wonder how many times they have tried to use this type of document?

    Looking for forged signatures is fun but even more
    important is looking for “counterfeit color copy Notes” placed into evidence as being the “original Note”.
    A clean, original, yellow ,magic marker and a microscope are all the tools one needs to tell them
    apart. Try it for yourselves on an original blue ink signature and its color photocopy. You will easily see
    the difference. Then do it on the Note being presented.
    My estimate is that 50% are phony counterfeit photocopies being presented as the real Note.

    regarding the case in VA, it is happening almost everyday, cases are getting non suited, and in this state the court rule states that as a plaintiff you may sue for the same cause and withdraw no more than three times, after that all your claims are barred and risk sanctions.

    There is a case in Northern Virginia where two lenders starting suing each other for quiet title and they stopped dead on their tracks due to their individual findings, the case is stalled in district court. The borrower in now in the process of inter pleading and going for the kill!

    as soon as I get the case ID i will post them. The lawyers are being very careful because they do not want to upset the forward movement they have been able to gain in the last three months, since Virginia, DC and MD courts were very uncaring and very pro pretender lender, as you may imagine, they thought that we were the losers and that the criminal element foreclosure mill felons were brilliant, honest, competent, ethical, and they would never, never, never attempt to lie to the court and even think of abusing the non-judicial system. After all BANKS have more rights, more standing, more power, more standing than the US Constitution, The State Constitutions, and all statuses combined.

    You see many people still assume that if you signed the documents at settlement you were given something of value in exchange for your commitment to repay. They still believe your mortgage was OK, did not have any fraud and if it did you were complicit. Even if you were an undocumented alien with no English and no proper formal education. You in their eyes are the irresponsible party.

    It takes some effort to explain and to demonstrate that we were given as Mr. Garfield has stated in this blog ‘Snake Oil” a toxic elixir that broke our backs.

    I forgot to mention,

    PLEASE EVERY ONE CLOSE YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS WITH ANY OF THE PRETENDER LENDERS, REMEMBER THEY HAVE FORECLOSED ON YOUR AMERICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND THAT THEY HAVE DONE SO THROUGH FRAUD, DECEIT, LIES AND WITH THE COMPLICIT AND TACIT APPROVAL OF OUR LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS.

    IT IS UP TO US!!!!!!!!

    McCalla-Raymer (the law practice cited in the video) is only part of the picture of the other various companies that have STILL not made their way into the spotlight with ANY of the major media.

    Litton Loan Service is an example. They are a debt-collector (quasi-servicer) company that uses both LPS and McCalla-Raymer. But you don’t have to go any further than documents signed by Litton personnel THEMSELVES to find ‘robo-signed’ notary signatures. Melissa Bell’s notary signatures vary wildly, not appearing to be the same person signing at all. Her license is from Texas. From what I have seen, the signature is SUPPOSED to be the same content that was submitted to the state of Texas. Well it is NOT.

    I am only citing one example of the Litton personnel who appear to be robo-signing. Even the signature that is being notarized varies.

    Can anyone forward any and all info (to: mrsdiamond@msn.com) regarding Johnna Miller? Her ‘squiggle’ is on the recently received DECLARATION OF JOHNNA MILLER IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT. Has she been deposed???
    I have sent for certified copies of her official Florida Notary signature on the application and bond from the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations but would love to have her legal signature sooner rather than later.

    Oh BAC….. Is $375 BILLION “Material”?

    From the BAC 10-Q:

    The Corporation and affiliates, legacy Countrywide entities and affiliates, and legacy Merrill Lynch entities and affiliates have been named as defendants in a number of cases relating to various roles they played in MBS offerings. These cases are generally purported class action suits or actions by individual purchasers of securities. Although the allegations vary by lawsuit, these cases generally allege that the offering documents for more than $375 billion of securities issued by hundreds of securitization trusts contained material misrepresentations and omissions, including statements regarding the underwriting standards pursuant to which the underlying mortgage loans were issued, the ratings given to the tranches by rating agencies, and the appraisal standards that were used in violation of Section 11 and 12 of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or state securities laws. The cases generally allege unspecified compensatory damages and in some instances, seek rescission. The Corporation has previously disclosed some of these matters under other headings, in its 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, including Countrywide Mortgage-Backed Securities Litigation; IndyMac Litigation; Merrill Lynch Subprime-related Matters; and Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle Litigation.

    Ps: It only takes one of these to set it all off and lead to exactly this outcome…. The FDIC would be wise to take this pig into receivership now…… and send Bill Black in there to check it out. I bet he finds a ticking device in the center of the boardroom table with the last four digits of the timer window taped over and a handwritten note that says “u r screwd” on the side….. smiley

    Debt Collection Company **Sued**

    You’re not going to believe this…

    HARRISBURG – Attorney General Tom Corbett today announced that a consumer protection lawsuit has been filed against an Erie debt collection company accused of using deceptive tactics to mislead, confuse or coerce consumers – including the use of bogus “hearings” allegedly held in a company office that was decorated to look like a courtroom.

    “This is an unconscionable attempt to use fake court proceedings to deceive, mislead or frighten consumers into making payments or surrendering valuables to Unicredit without following lawful procedures for debt collection,” Corbett said. “Consumers also allegedly received dubious ‘hearing notices’ and letters – often hand-delivered by individuals who appear to be Sheriff Deputies – which implied they would be taken into custody by the Sheriff if they failed to appear at the phony court for ‘hearings’ or ‘depositions’.”

    Sued?

    SUED?

    Isn’t impersonating an officer a crime?

    How about impersonating a member of the judiciary?

    Corporations pull something like this and get sued. Your or I do it, we get arrested and tossed in jail.

    How long before you decide that the law no longer matters, since at worst a company that pulls something like this – just like the ones in Florida breaking into homes – simply get “sued”?

    THEY NEED TO GO TO JAIL!

    WHY IS IT THAT CORPORATIONS AND THEIR OFFICERS SEEM TO HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAT WE DO?

    WE GET ARRESTED AND THEY GET SUED????

    CORPORATIONS DO NOT VOTE, BUT THEY GET TO SCREW WITH US? AND GET AWAY WITH IT?

    Congratulations to Brown, Brown and Brown PLC, of Franconia, Virginia. They stopped a foreclosure mill trying to foreclose on a borrower with bogus accounting, and other issues.

    Great Job!!!!

    The tide is turning but we need to keep putting pressure. we need to be relentless. It is up to all of us.

    Mr. Obama and the other politicians are MIA.

  17. Pelucheven, on November 5, 2010 at 10:05 pm said:

    this is what needs to be done, let us shame our county land records officers and clerks be ashamed for not questioning these documents and become complicit either by error or omission but complicit nevertheless.

    The media will get it if we give them the evidence and show them the way. the learning curve is shortened if we help them understand.

    Let us talk to our neighbors and friends, let us share our experiences and knowledge as well as share paperwork to compare and contrast the affidavits, notaries, etc.

    we need to make sure their names and crimes are exposed. I am sure this criminal element foreclosure mill attorney ( the true bottom feeder of his profession) is no longer being seen as the brilliant lawyer he may have been acting as, but now his neighbors, the Georgia Bar and the court system know that all his paper work was not only robo signed but based on fraud.

    Keep them coming. Make them run. Let us make sure their errors and omission insurance premiums make it impossible to continue stealing homes.

    Sue the bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
