================================

THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS NOT A LEGAL OPINION UPON WHICH YOU CAN RELY IN ANY INDIVIDUAL CASE. HIRE A LAWYER.

—————-
Patrick Giunta, Esq. chalks up another win that is right on the money. He also won attorney fees and costs. Although Patrick and I co-counsel certain cases he did this on his own. Patrick is a lawyer who gets it. His number is 954-928-0100.
This is an important case as it shows the shifting judicial attitude toward foreclosure defense. Originally thought to be mostly frivolous, defenses are taken far more seriously because of the kind of lawyering that was done in this case. The courts are now actually applying the law. This case shows that if you really break the issues down to their bare elements, you can win on appeal.
Two things important about this case are that (1) the trial court was reversed for treating an “owner” of the note as the same thing as a “holder” at the time the suit was filed and (2) the recognition that there is a difference between holder, owner and non-holder with rights of a holder (i.e., rights to enforce).
Lastly the court is following the progression of cases where instead of remanding for further proceedings (like substitution of Plaintiff) the Court ordered entry of involuntary dismissal.
And finally my comment is that there is still room for litigation in these cases, since the involuntary dismissal is against only one of what I call co-conspirators. BUT the deeper we drill the easier it is to force them into a corner. The plain fact is that they have been successfully fighting against revealing the money trail. If that was actually revealed from one end to the other on each of multiple chains used by the banks, it would be apparent that what went on here was more sinister than what has thus far been revealed — and the reason why Bush and Obama were scared into preserving the status quo rather than holding the banks’ feet to the fire.
I will explain more at a later time. But here is a teaser: the fractional reserve banking system with the Federal Reserve as the Central Bank was replaced with a virtual fractional reserve system in which non-banks acted as though they were banks.
This was tied to a virtual central bank controlled by the banks. It enabled them to act as though they were commercial banks acting within the Federal Reserve system when in fact they were operating a rogue system wherein the sale of each loan created “capital” to create more loans. The MERS model was in fact used throughout the vast universe of finance as to law firms, servicers, banks, conduits, and even the central bank.
This explains why the banks begged for and received commercial bank status effectively ratifying their prior illegal behavior but putting the real Federal Reserve in the position of having no choice but to do “quantitative easing” to make up for the shortfalls.
And it explains why the original documentation on so many loans was intentionally destroyed. The numbers didn’t add up. The amount of money invested by managed funds into dead REMIC Trusts was NOT enough to account for the number of loans given out. They were both skimming the real money and then using the proceeds of “sale” of the “loan contracts” to create both assets and income that the Banks say belong to them. So the pile-up of original notes with an inventory would have revealed that somehow the investment banks were acting as commercial banks with impunity without charters or licenses. The physical presence of the notes were an embarrassment.  Do the math.
So the notes being represented in court have a high likelihood of being fabricated through mechanical means and the “borrower” doesn’t know the difference. All of this means that on any given loan there are multiple claimants. LPS and MERS were used to siphon the cases such that one specific player was chosen for each foreclosure — when in fact none of them had any actual right to collect, enforce or foreclose.
THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN OWNER, HOLDER, HOLDER IN DUE COURSE, NON-HOLDER WITH RIGHTS TO ENFORCE AND POSSESSOR IS CHIPPING AWAY AT THE VENEER. IN DISCOVERY, THESE INCONSISTENT CLAIMS SHOULD BE USED TO DRILL DOWN TO THE MONEY TRAIL. AND FOR TRIAL THESE INCONSISTENT  CLAIMS SHOULD BE USED TO STRIP THE BANKS OF THE BENEFIT OF LEGAL PRESUMPTIONS ATTENDANT TO BEING A “HOLDER.” But note that we are still talking about the PAPER that talks about a transaction that was never consummated — as it relates to the party seeking collection or enforcement or any of its predecessors.

  1. Finally!! Someone that gets it!! Thank you! And to all those who are putting up good stuff in the comments section, I find some of what you are posting to be as or more useful than some of the articles. Hopefully, this comment will also confirm.
    Please note the last sentence
    “But note that we are still talking about the PAPER that talks about a transaction that was never consummated — as it relates to the party seeking collection or enforcement or any of its predecessors.”
    I also notice that Neil says “BUT the deeper we drill the easier it is to force them into a corner.” Whereas I have learned and continuosly stated that we need to “box them in”. Which means that we have to “force the judges to abide by the laws and the law of contract.” In other words it is not about the attorneys bring an unlawful action but the corporate judges that are acting outside the law and actively partisipating and promoting criminal actions of extortion and a bunch of other crimes (see 18 USC 471-474, 18) the missuse of UCC 3, the use of UCC 3 when we are not commercial entities nor engaged in commerce, and on and on.
    To “back them into a corner” in my opinion is far moor difficult than “boxing them in”. The last motion I helped create and file on an alleged traffic (motor vehicle code) violation, two attorneys said after only reading three lines, “air tight” and another intellegent people said “wow you bitch slap them around after you box them in”… I like to say that I build six walls then tiled it and grouted it well, not one iota of a leak possible. In the motion and affidavit I actually evidence and cause them to admit to various criminal acts, including kidnapping. “5. Officer Crone required Respondent to sign such charging instrument in exchange for her release.”
    So the judge either must do the right thing or there is self authenticating and admitted (get a certified and notarized copy which is self authenticated and can not be denied the use of in a case) since they do not rebut.. because they can not. It is a fact that “Officer Crone required Respondent to sign such charging instrument in exchange for her release.” What is being admitted to without actually saying it is she was kidnapped and got a ransom for her release.
    The same thing is true when it comes to “Jurisdiction”. I never use the term “Jurisdiction” but I do illustrate the lack of it by the “pixels” or “elements” necessary for Jurisdiction, both “persona and subject matter”. And not just “standing” which is what this article breaks down but also “capacity” (“to be without legal defect”) which “deprives the court of jurisdiction”.
    Thus we are playing the long call instead of the short term investment. By doing so with a strategy in place, of noticing and making record un-rebutted “facts” and affidavits and establishing admissions and summary judgements, partial summary judgements and getting declaratory judgements to build a solid foundation upon which to make a “Claim” in federal court under 42 USC 1983 depravation of rights suit. In other word use the laws and notice of the laws and the lack of denial of those laws, them being subject to and the breaches thereof to evidenced that one has been injured as a result and each of them is a denial of “the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States.” (18 USC 241) and under colour of law (18 USC 242) and use 18 USC 4 misprision of felony… to “make known to some judge or officer of the United States” of a crime “cognisable by a court of the United States”.
    Once you get this concept you no longer will “defend” the fraudclosure but use the fraud-closure as a tool to make record and evidence that they have full knowledge and criminal intent to defraud and engage in extortion and under threat, intimidation, oppression, injure the people in violation of the written laws, statues and codes which they are subject to (nothing to do with you being subject to) and have a “Claim” not a “complaint” or “charge”.
    For those who have not heard this guy I recommend you listen to this recording.. I am listening to it as I am writing this and he is right on and explains it so very well. What I am sharing is the strategy; he shares the game to expose. http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-39904/TS-1032586.mp3

    Episode 356 http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-39904/TS-1032586.mp3

    An excellent followup to the Greg Gory call http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=139335&cmd=tc

    Remember too that TILA states “consummation of the Loan” thus a “rental” contract is not a “loan” so there can not be a “consummation of a Loan” :-}
    Stop defending the alleged “Loan”, the assignments, who is the “note holder” etc. instead make record of their fraud with intent to defraud for payment. Are they not uttering and passing counterfeit instruments? (whether or not a copy) all we are doing is getting them to admit in writing that they have full knowledge and intent to defraud in violation of written laws and office which requires them to “secure these Rights” and “to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
    Hope this helps…

  2. Louise- up until 2010? I think, the only person at Ocwen authorized to transfer mortgages on the MERS system was one Scott Anderson, the man w 41 different known signatures.
    In ocwen v. MERS, wherein Ocwen claimed that persons other thsn Anderson had transferred mortgages/AOM etc, Ocwen was trying to get out of paying 70k in “unathorized” transfers. Anderson did t show up for the bench trial/hearing. There was then and is still now a question as to if he actually exists as a person. I never found him on
    Linkdin, google, or elsewhere.

  3. While we all know these were presold, any ideas as to what the legal argument would be to void these securities/mortgages/ ?

  4. Thursday 11 February 2016

    Thank you for providing more context to your first post, K. Very informative, as tends to be your standard.

    Cheers…

  5. I have a document from the MERS site that says my loan is inactive from the MERS system since January of 2006, yet Homeward Residential still transferred the loan to Ocwen in 2013. I wonder how that works?

  6. Confirming the intent to securitize the transaction before execution of the documentation, on page 10 of the Fannie patent:

    “…wherein the fully-verified approval pre-designates the mortgage loan application as being in immediate condition to be used to originate a mortgage loan that has been predetermined by a secondary mortgage market participant to be salable to the secondary mortgage market participant with no further documentation being required in order to fulfill the underwriting conditions, and wherein the automated underwriting engine that generates the underwriting conditions is provided by the secondary mortgage market participant…”

    Here’s a link to at least one of Fannie’s patents:

    https://deadlyclear.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/master-breeder-1003united-states-patent_-7653592.pdf

  8. @ mn

    I would venture to say that the use of Fannie’s Desktop Underwriter system is far and wide.

  9. https://www.1215.org/lawnotes/mortgage/mers_rec_foreclosure_proc_after_move.pdf

    The old servicer and the new servicer are still required to notify the homeowner in writing when loan servicing is traded as required under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), 12 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq. A loan is de-registered from the system only if its servicing rights to a loan are transferred to a non-MERS member.

    Kalifornia:

    Re the patent “invention” link you provided. Is it widely known that this
    patent has been implemented in the course of making loans, like MERS
    was? If not, of what use?

    Cheers…

  11. Shadowcat I understand what you are saying, can we talk off form ?

  13. @ims53. Can a servicer report to credit agencies? Must they name the actual lender?

    Mine were reported by servicer to credit agencies

  14. Put simply, “no one was ever supposed to link Bill Clinton’s “multiple Infidelitys” to his collusion, among “Gramm, Leach, Bliley and Impeachment” to suppression of “Glass-Steagall”. Bill Clinton’s Infidelity and resulting collusion to finally suppress “Galss-Steagall”, laid the groundwork (pardon the pun) to what is ultimately going to become common knowledge as “The Greatest Fraud” ever perpetrated on this planet: Phony “Trusts” using American Mortgages to launder terrorist and drug cartel money within a closed system, none of US were ever supposed to know about. Google: “the MERS”; Google: “Landtegrity”; Google: “Lynn Szymoniak”; Google: “Securitization Fail”; Google: “HSBC Bank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo” and then, join those, by lexus/nexus, to: “drug cartel and terrorist Cartel Money”. The dialogue is esoteric and the issues have been, willfully, rendered obscure. The point is: the international, central bankers have rendered themselves “Further” Insolvent in the aftermath of their first GLARING FAILURE: “SubPrime Lending Insolvency”, through their SCAM to create “Notional Derivatives” that are altogether hinging upon Fraud: Google: “1200 Trillion Dollars”. That is the figure owed to international, central banking, on “short sale, Credit Default Swaps” (to begin to understand, go watch: “The BIg Short”). The 1200 Trillion owed to Credit Default Swaps are simply bogus insurance policies predicated upon the notion, a “Servicing Bank”, fraudulently posing as a “Lending Bank” -thank you, Bill Clinton, Senators Phil Gramm, Leach and Bliley… oh, and don’t forget Miss Lewinsky-, may take the home of the person the fraudsters target, using forgeries (robo-signing), false witness and Fraud (personal experience). The “REMIC Trusts” are empty! The “Pooling And Servicing Agreements” to those “Trusts” were created, but, the “Trusts”, themselves were never “registered” within either of the two states (NY or Dela.), that it was incumbent upon the “Trustees” to register those “Trusts” in. Oh, and the “Trustees” are “Trustees” in name only- their involvement in actually “possessing” the “loans” they claim to own is also utter “Fiction”. The point is: TBTF banks are in possession of roughly 98% of the bogus insurance swaps (1200 Trillion owed to credit default swaps- cds; cdos and sythetic cdos). The TBTF are masquerading as “Lenders”, while in reality, they are no such thing, thanks to the suppression of “Glass-Steagall”. The TBTF are also relying on documents (“Pooling And Servicing Agreements”) that are phony, in that they are fronting for “Trusts” the SEC has zero knowledge of (Google: Bucketeering”); the IRS has zero knowledge of (Google: “REMIC Trusts)(Google: “Bucketeering”). Because the “Trusts” never registered: They are legal fiction; a legal, “Non-entity”. A legal fiction cannot sue anybody for any debt. PERIOD. Yet, the courts are awarding TBTFs foreclosures, based on the notion a “homeowner”, that stands to lose their home- whether they were ever in default, or not (personal experience X 2)- is not entitled to penetrate the phony “Trust Mechanisms (“Pooling And Servicing Agreements”)”, because, as the courts have been deciding, “homeowners” that are suffering this OUTRAGE, cannot gain “Discovery”, as they are 3rd parties to the Phony “Trusts” and the Phony Mechanisms, supporting those Phony “Trusts”. The “debt” to the homes in question, has been satisfied, many times over, before foreclosure even enters the picture. The MERS tracks the “loans” and the “Foreclosure” “Notice” acts, in “loan default” as the “LOCATER” to the “market maker’s” counterfeit “ownership” of the “title” as “Holder In Due Course” to insurance swaps predicated upon “Naked Short Sales”:

    stopforeclosurefraud.com/2013/08/31/michael-keane-i-personally-destroyed-thousands-of-mortgage-documents-through-the-same-process-using-a-desk-top-scanner/

    petitions.moveon.org/sign/the-wicked-which-of-the?source=c.em&r_by=4695413

    From what I can gather, so far, every single “loan”, in this country was satisfied, through a Chapter 11 restructuring of a “Holding Company”, that acted as “Clearing-House” for every single “loan” within that portfolio.

    The “Holding Company”, so far as I can tell, is named: “Residential Capital”, or “RESCAP”, and it was “re-structured”, through Chapter 11 as part of liquidation of GMAC Financial.

    GMAC Financial, some may remember, is how the central banks conspired to destroy the car industry by selling “warranties” and “Financial Products”, when it should have been minding its own business and selling cars.

    The point is: the financial center of the planet has been undermined and, like-it-or-not, the Monica Lewinsky Affair emboldened the bankers to perpetrate any number of Fraudulent Behaviors.

    It is beyond ridiculous, Hillary Clinton has suggested she thinks “Glass-Steagall” and reinstatement of regulatory oversight, “Do not go far enough”.

    Although, in a strange way, she may be correct, because it is incumbent upon every single moral and person of any “common decency” whatsoever, to start asking questions about the Clinton’s Infidelities; marital or otherwise.

  18. […] Down to the Nitty Gritty: Holder vs Owner of the Note […]

  19. So Iwantmynpv or Neil …
    Would either one of you like to explain how UCC3 & 9 come into play?

  20. hey has anyone bothered to check their credit reports to see who reports the loan as delinquent. This could be potential helpful info in your foreclosure case if standing is at issue. the dates in the reporting on these credit reports could be useful in our cases.

  21. @javagold, which part of Fannie and Freddie. Corporate Freddie or Trust Freddie. Very similar to Corporate FDIC (conservator) Trust FDIC (Receiver).

    Corporate America (Secy of Treasury) Trust America (Treasurer of these united states.

    Can’t fractionally lend without the corporate side of all of the GSE’s / quaisi judicial bullshit agencies.

    Owner = Trust / GSE including FHLB’s – Original Lender if held to maturity.

    Holder in due course = creditor / originator

    Holder = Servicer, with or without rights to enforce.

    Each is used in interchangeable fashion to promote vague pleadings, which in turn are critical to the typical possession play. I have the note, it is endorsed in blank and here is this affidavit from the loan service agent claiming some bullshit business records, which are never attached to the pleadings, but entitle me to enforce the note.

    The shit ass attorneys defending homeowners only makes matters worse.

  22. So are Fannie and Freddie. Investors. Holders. Guarantors ??? Or whatever they need to be to fraudclosed on homeowners.

  23. 8. Covenants of Borrower.
    (a) The Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lender that with respect to each
    MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, it will not identify any party except the Lender in the field
    “interim funder” on the MERS® System.

    so what else your honor, are they hiding????????????????

    this is why all mortgages at closing, has already been sold to someone, as all mortgages have a mers min number on it. already, meaning irt was sold Pryor TO THE BORROWER SIGNING THE MORTGAGE, AND NOTE.

  24. David, do we know about what time this document was originally created? Laws changed several times with regard to how MERS would act, including that they were not owners of anything. It looks, to me, like there is another entity mixed into this as well (3 not 2?). Funny how this document never came out until now.

  25. 25. Status of Electronic Agent.
    Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership, joint
    venture between the parties hereto and the services of the Electronic Agent and MERS shall be
    rendered as independent contractors for the Lender and the Borrower. Other than the obligations
    of the Electronic Agent and MERS expressly set forth herein, the Electronic Agent and MERS
    shall have no power or authority to act as agent for the Lender or the Borrower pursuant to any
    grant of authority made under or pursuant to this Agreement.
    [SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS]

  26. 7. Covenants of MERS.

    MERS agrees that in no event shall MERS’ status as mortgagee of record with respect to
    any MERS Designated Mortgage Loan confer upon MERS any rights or obligations as an owner
    of any MERS Designated Mortgage Loan or the servicing rights related thereto, and MERS will
    not exercise such rights unless directed to do so by the Lender.
    8. Covenants of Borrower.
    (a) The Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lender that with respect to each
    MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, it will not identify any party except the Lender in the field
    “interim funder” on the MERS® System.
    6
    (b) Borrower will provide the Lender with a Mortgage Identification Number
    (“MIN”) for each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan that the Lender has extended credit on for

    By execution of this Agreement, the Electronic Agent and MERS each represents and
    warrants that it currently holds, and during the existence of this Agreement shall hold, no adverse
    interest, by way of security or otherwise, in any MERS Designated Mortgage Loan. The MERS
    Designated Mortgage Loans shall not be subject to any security interest, lien or right to set-off by
    the Electronic Agent, MERS, or any third party claiming through the Electronic Agent or MERS,
    and neither the Electronic Agent nor MERS shall pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer,
    dispose of, or otherwise grant any third party interest in, the MERS Designated Mortgage Loans.
    10. Indemnification of the Lend
