Remember, since your “lender” is just a servicer, they do not own the note. They
do not have the right to enforce the note. They can only act as a servicing agent.
Please refer to U.S. Code Title 12: Banks and Banking, Part 226 – Truth in
Lending (Regulation Z). This is enclosed in the Appendix for your convenience.
These are codified laws of banking. It defines who a Lender is, and the rights of
a Servicer. Specifically, it refers in 226 (a) 1 that a servicer is not treated as the
owner of the obligation.
(a) Scope. The disclosure requirements of this section apply to any
covered person except as otherwise provided in this section. For
purposes of this section:
(1) A “ covered person ” means any person, as defined in §226.2(a)(22),
that becomes the owner of an existing mortgage loan by acquiring legal
title to the debt obligation, whether through a purchase, assignment, or
other transfer, and who acquires more than one mortgage loan in any
twelve-month period. For purposes of this section, a servicer of a
mortgage loan shall not be treated as the owner of the obligation if the
servicer holds title to the loan or it is assigned to the servicer solely for
the administrative convenience of the servicer in servicing the obligation.
You will also note that the scope does not cover the servicer if the servicer was
assigned the note for administrative convenience in servicing the obligation.
This means, the servicer is not treated and does not have the rights of a lender
(or owner of the obligation).

Ian,
Yep. But — interception started before then. And, Fannie/Freddie knew about — complied with it.. Am hearing of loans that were supposed to be sold to Fannie/Freddie — but never got there. Wonder why??. But, Fannie/Freddie invested in private MBS deals — hmmm — how did that happen??
I believe that PennyMac was started by ex-Countrywide “officials”. Probably at the behest of fannie/freddie to help soak up the “toxic assets”
Let’s starting translating M.Soliman’s premise into English. And, this is not intended as a negative M. Soliman — believe you have some valid points that should be explored here. Well aware of PennyMac — but below are others. All are deregulated — and likely purchase loans at steep discounts.
Distressed debt buyers do organize as REITs, also as hedge funds. Traditionally, REITs where largely for commercial property — but you are right — this has changed.
Mortgage/Finance REITs are REITs that invest in mortgages, or provide mortgage or other types of financing.

MSoliman,
Agree with some of what you are saying — not all. “Depositor” is investor. Depositors do not have their own balance sheet — must be accounted for — so you mean the Depositors parent corporation???
REITs — find this interesting. Safe Harbor — FDIC — still find no connection.
If you are going to win with your arguments — you need better publication. Few buy your uncoordinated angles — not to say there is not some merit.. Appears you want to keep for yourself — but if you are having success – it will eventually get published – otherwise there is no success. We will wait.

LL Reader – You fail to acknowledge pay off MBS security investments — and transfer of collection rights (swapped by contracts) out of the original trust.
The loans are sold under gain on sale ACCRUED accounting rules – GONE
REIT raises $100 Million …SPE QSPE Who does what with the money? There is the path to victory. No one decided case including my own pick this up. NO COURT IN THE LAND WILL LET A FIDUCIARY ARGUMENT STAND FOR FRAUD CLAIMS BROUGHT BY PRIVATE PARTIES WHO EXECUTED A STATE INCOME APPLICATION.
You can win people but delving into Bill and teds bogus adventure is not for anyone other than Ponce De Leon and his troop.
You wont win picking apart a PAS agreement the Lehman bros auditor dropped $22 million compiling. Thats were the gold country is my fellow Micro managers.
I have consulted for the other side and they were forced in some instances to walk away. The other side are briliant securiities attorneys
Dont beat me – Beat a REIT

it refers in 226 (a) 1 that a servicer is not treated as the owner of the obligation
WRONG CONTEXT – ANALYZE THE EXECUTION MEANING SERVICING RELEASED OR SERVICING RETAINED. IN EITHER INSTANCE THE SERVICER HAS RECOURSE MEANING THE SERVICER IF THE OWNER OF THE SUBJECT LOAN. THAT IS THE CONSIDERATION FOR OWNERSHIP
THESE LOANS ARE IN A BKINSULATE ENTITY AND CANNOT BE CONTROLLED BY A SERVICER.
THE FDIC EXPLAINED THE SERVICER IS FORECLOSING AND I REMINDED THEM OF WHAT IS STATED HERE IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED ANLALYSIS.
THERE ARE NO RIGHTS OF A SERVICER TO FORECLOSE
TO THIS WE WILL EVIDENCE AND TESTIFY

MSoliman,
You skip the step that certificates to trust are sold to security underwriters — see Prospectus ” :Method of Distribution.” Yes, loans are sold from originator to depositor – to trust — to trustee – according to PSA. And, unfortunately for filers — this was most likely filed with the SEC — and subject — to an extent — (excluding Deregulation and 15-D for continued filings) — to Reg. AB.
Everyone misses that certificates to trust are sold to security underwriters. What the PSA/S-3/Prospectus — usually fail to state — is that loans were sold to a financial institution — BEFORE they were sold to a Depositor (subsidiary of financial institution).
Some trusts did state this process — but MANY did not — and letters by SEC to filers are documented — questioning the S-3 registration. Many ceased after such communication. Many continued — then ceased later.
For registrations filed with the SEC — you must go through every document — piece by piece — document by document — (And many missing documents). This is why investors are finding success — but we remain in quick sand — unable to articulate — what really went on – because of 15-D — and continued current status filings..
Again, FDIC Safe Harbor — is for investor rights — not borrower challenges to fraud in foreclosure. ANd, very importantly, Chancery division for judicial foreclosures DO NOT allow litigation of claims regarding origination of the loan. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED. The fraud in conveyance of mortgage loan notes in securitizations is one challenge to foreclosure — but we also need to be able to litigate challenges to fraud in the ORIGINATION of the loan. Red flags should allow — but being blocked by lower levels of court administration.
M. Soliman — you are focusing on performing loans and derived securities. This is the error. You fail to acknowledge pay off MBS security investments — and transfer of collection rights (swapped by contracts) out of the original trust. Unless your loan is currently performing — and acknowledged as such — no relevance.
ANONYMOUS — Do you have a link to the ” Federal Reserve Opinion (now codified as “Rule”). ” that you cited below ??
Thanks in advance … TNL

Diane Barker,
The Interim Opinion has already been codified — (ie. now RULE) — This is just an explanation by the FED RES — as who is NOT covered — and servicers and beneficial pass-through security investors are not covered (meaning they do not have to notify — because they are NOT the creditor within the expanded definition of creditor by the TILA amendment). So — just need to flush out the current creditor —- There is more in section by section analysis that emphasizes “ON WHOSE BALANCE SHEET the loan is reported.”
Only one court addressed — allowed complaint to proceed — no decision. No where else has attorneys utilized. But — coming.
This means, the servicer is not treated and does not have the rights of a lender
(or owner of the obligation).
M.SOLIMAN- THE TRUSTEE IS THE PARTY REPESENTING THE BENEFICAL INTEREST FOR THE DEPSOITORS. THE MASTER SERVICER DISTRIBUTES THE PAYMENTS TO THE DEPSITORS.
THE POOLING AND SERVICING DOCUMENTS SPELLS THIS OUT.
WHY THEN ARE YOU EMBRACING THE POOLING AND SERVICNG DOCUMENT.
MSOLIMAN

I am concerned about these words in the code, “For
purposes of this section”
I wish someone with legal background would comment on this. It seems the definition of lender for purposes of the narrow section of code cannot be expanded to a broader definition. I hope it can, I just would like further comment.
Do these clear and concise laws not settle the issue of standing when a servicer tries to foreclose?
I’ve read that judges are having to be educated about what is going on, but even a judge on the fast track of pumping out foreclosures could grasp the simplicity of this!
Also see below — From Federal Reserve Opinion (now codified as “Rule”). “Credit risk” – assume refers to derivative contracts. “Getting docs in order” – as Banks claims they will do (but likely cannot do) — will require disclosure according to the TILA Amendment.
IV. Section-by-Section Analysis
Section 226.39—Mortgage Transfer
Disclosures
39(a) Scope
“To become a ‘‘covered person’’ subject
to § 226.39, a person must become the
owner of an existing mortgage loan by
acquiring legal title to the debt
obligation. Consequently, § 226.39 does
not apply to persons who acquire only
a beneficial interest in the loan or a
security interest in the loan, such as
when the owner of the debt obligation
uses the loan as security to obtain
financing and the party providing the
financing obtains only a security
interest in the loan. Section 226.39 also
does not apply to a party that assumes
the credit risk without acquiring legal
title to the loans. Accordingly, an
investor who purchases an interest in a
pool of loans (such as mortgage-backed
securities, pass-through certificates,
participation interests, or real estate
mortgage investment conduits) but does
not directly acquire legal title in the
underlying mortgage loan, is not
covered by § 226.39.”
Just curious – does any of this work in court? I’m begginning to find out a “felony” isn’t really a “felony” sometimes – it’s considered a “technicality” or an innocent mistake – later correctable.
