  1. Hi Neil,
    My situation is similar to Julie’s. In 2005 we took out a mortgage in Los Angeles, CA. (Palmdale) with Countrywide Home Loans. In Feb. 2012, prior to foreclosure, Bank of America filed an Assignment of Deed of Trust in Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office, breaking Chain of Title to my property. (Massive Fraud on document with robosigners, Mers, And a bunch of “dirty players”). We ended up avoiding foreclosure by getting a HAMP modification. Long story short, in 2014 we had a family emergency and rented out home for one year – renter squatted, and put us in default. In 2014 Nationstar Mortgage LLC . was our “servicer” and it took me about 10 times trying to get a renewal/or new modification. Before rendering a decision, Nationstar sold servicing rights to RushmOre Loan Management Services LLC. (In 2014 Nationstar Fraudulently filed Assignment of Deed of Trust in LA County Recorder’s Office, as well). In 2016, Freddie Mac sold off a pool of “non-performing loans”…Rushmore purchased Freddie Mac’s last pool, and my loan was in it. Rushmore got Nationwide Title Clearing to fraudulently manufacture a Corporate Assignment of Deed of Trust”, and filing it in the LA County Recorder’s Office in June 2016. That listed US Bank, N.A., not in it’s individual capacity but solely as trustee for the RMAC Trust, Series 2016-CTT. Well, my old 2005 Countrywide Home Loan’s “Original Trust” was CWABS ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATES, SERIES 2005-BC5, and my “Original Trustee” was BAnk of New York. I believe that my loan trust was paid off to investors in June 2016 via the Countrywidembs Settlement and/Or Bank of America’s Agreement to re-purchase Countrywide Loans from Bank of America. Anyhow, in Feb. 2017 I filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case in Los Angeles. US Bank for the RMAC Trust, Series 2016-CTT filed a FRAUDULENT PROOF OF CLAIM in my bankruptcy case on 5/18/17, after they received fines from the OCC for Fraudulent POC. They are NOT the true creditor. My bankruptcy attorney DENIED me the right to fight this through an adversarial proceeding, and dismissed my case . Now I am a “sitting duck” with an auction from Aztec Foreclosure on 8/23/17. My POC lists US Bank as ‘trustee’ for the RMAC trust, series 2016, Rushmore Loan Management Services LLC., as current “servicer” , and my NOD lists Aztec Foreclosure as “trustee” . My original note has only one stamped endorsement from David A. Spector, and no others. I do not believe Countrywide ever deposited loan into trust, and Chain of Title broken in 2012 with BofA Assignment. Many,many correspondence to ALL PARTIES INVOLVED and Federal Agencies….NO ONE WILL HELP.
    Can you help us out here in Los Angeles Neil….I am running our of time and options. Just lost my car to repossession last thursday because Rushmore was demanding repayments and trustee payments in my Chp13bk and they were taking ALL OF OUR MONEY. PLEASE, I have three young kids…. Anything you could advise. God Bless.

  2. Hello. I have an auction date of 8/25/17 and won’t give up the fight until I get to keep my home. Briefly here’s what’s happening. Seems everyone I get involved to help me screws me over so not sure how to proceed. Just dismissed my CH13 banko that wasn’t final yet to stop last auction sale date of 2./3/17. My lawyer was terrible. Didn’t provide me with basic info about anything bankruptcy so I just decided to get out which is why the new auction date in August was assigned. The straw that broke the camels back was back in 2015. I had an arrears of approx. $27,000 because BOA took 2.5 years to modify and all the other BS during that time. The loan I got was a Homesight loan, 30 years to pay back, 0% interest. Paid my current Servicer, Rushmore Loan Mgmt Svs for US Bank Natl. Assoc. as Legal Title Trustee for Truman 2013 SC3Title based on the reinstatement amount quoted to me by Rushmore. Paid them in Oct. 2015 and not 2 wks later I get a letter from Rushmore saying my escrow was short by about $2000 and in Feb 2016 my payment would go up about $150 a month to pay that down. I was furious. Why didn’t they figure escrow in their reinstatement quote. I paid the 3 payments after that hoping they would come to their senses but no. Still not accepting they screwed me. In Feb. I just stopped paying them. Had a securitization audit done on my loan from CFLA (Certified Forensic Loan Audits) in CA proving my loan was securitized. Since Feb 2016 I’ve tried to get legal help and no one would take me on saying they didn’t feel I had a case. So that report is doing me no good because I don’t know if there’s anything I can do on my own to use it. I haven’t had access to my mortgage account at Rushmore online or on paper since Feb 2015 because they don’t allow delinquent accounts access to their records. I’ve tried the short sale tactic getting 3 offers that were all denied, banko to stop the sale after the short sale didn’t work, and here I am today. Lots more but I can’t tell it anymore. Just a few quick things. I know not allowing me access to my account is illegal but they don’t care. During the course of the banko this year, I did acquire copies of my mortgage account when it was part of the POC and as attachments when I filed a claim against Rushmore to my Atty General in WA state. Basically I have 3 different versions of my mortgage account from Rushmore and they all are different. The bogus charges they bill to me while in foreclosure are ridiculous and I have no documentation on any of them. The arrears they claimed for my banko was $13,000ish almost half of that is these bogus charges and fees that aren’t explained. I know these can be challenged and I did send a letter but they have ignored it. Isn’t that proof enough that there’s fraud going on and I doubt they really know what I owe. None of these charges are on all 3 versions of my account. Some are on 1 or 2 and others are just on 1. How is this possible. They don’t know I have 3 versions. For ex: the copy the Atty General got in their reply to my complaint has none of the bogus charges on it. Just my normal payment info and that it. Isn’t that interesting. What do I do? Is there some legal thing I can file that will stop them and get someone to help me?? I heard that if I take it to court in WA since we are a non-Judicial state, I could loose and then owe them even more. ?? I just want them to make it right and pay me for all the mental and emotional pain they’ve caused. I’m tired and scared that I won’t have a home or a place to live at the end of August. Rent here is ridiculous and my mortgage payment is cheaper than any rent here.

    Thanks for your help with this.

    We appreciate your website, alot of good information. We are seeking Help? Please…

    Below is a news clip from channel 8 in Baltimore MD that shows part of our story.

    Man’s home foreclosed on, all belongings taken
    https://wbal.relaymedia.com/amp/article/mans-home-foreclosed-on-all-belongings-taken/6778921?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=amp&utm_source=www.wbaltv.com-RelayMediaAMP

    We strongly believe this fly by night company National Payment Relief was acting as a third party and forced us into forclosure on a small $30,000 line of credit initially with Wells and despite the fact there’s a $200,000 1st mortgage with Chase they still forclosed evicted and listed our home for sale. Why would they do this when there wasnt enough equity to even pay the 1st mortgage off?

    Prior to this Wells Fargo failed to pay our taxes out of escrow and our house was sold at auction, we had to have that sale rescinded as well.

    Now Chase has transfered the 1st mortgage to be serviced by Seterus who immediately started saying we were in default (not true) saying our escrow account is negative so our payments were being manipulated and considered partial payments. Despite my request for this company to fix thier mistakes and to validate the debt they have failed to do so and claim they will accelerate the loan on May 15th and start forclosuure proceedings.

    Who can help us? The Attorney we hired to help us sue the company that illegally evicted us screwed us and quit so we did not get our day in court that we wanted and deserved. DLLR charged them we we got approx $30,000 and the sale was rescinded. We recently recieved 1099’s from this fly by night company National Payment Relief the 1099’s total $180,000 what the hell?!

    The title chain is a mess! 1)There is a refinance by CTX mortgage that we did not know about and the docs are clearly forged. 2)There is a payoff check recorded with an affidavid of realease that we don’t know anything about. 3)There is a release signed by robo signer Linda Green. 4)Chase filed a recent assignment to Fannie Mae and the attorney that “prepared” the document confirmed via email to me she did not have anything to do with that document. 5)There is probably much more fraud etc I just dont have the expertise to know everything to look for.

    Is there someone out there that can help us? Please?

  8. Hello Neil, we endured a year-long foreclosure avoidance conference system in Oregon last year –pushed by Caliber Home Loans who purport to have bought a AWL note & TD from Bank of America (said note executed January 2004). The Case Management Team in Oregon denied a Certificate of Compliance. Caliber waited until this month (March 2017) to begin the program again. Were 77 years old with fixed income and need help to defeat the intent of Caliber (to steal home where we’ve lived for 40 years). Oregon enforces notes in favor of AWL. We think in would help if we could find a list of States that do not enforce that fake companies note. Other suggestions from members would be appreciated. Thanks and best wishes for your good and helpful work with suffering homeowners. –Dutch–

  14. Hello Neil,
    Do you know of and/or do you have a list of attorneys that will handle a fraudulent mortgage case in the Ocala, FL area that understand the REMIC, PSA, MERS, Assignment and ProVest Server violations and/or any others violations that have been committed with our mortgage?
    A forensic accountant has found all of these current violations.
    I have most every document for the last 11 years.
    We have filed a Motion for the Crime of Fraud and Perjury for the ProVest Server violations against my Wife. No win but no lose, going to round 3. Courts are confused and/or are playing a game.
    Mortgage quit taking Modification payments after the 8th payment, refused them and sent them back (I was asking questions of mortgage ownership/they had stated they didn’t know ownership during Mod). They denied the 2nd Mod. because they told me to fill out the wrong info (email documented). We are on the 3rd Mod. and they won’t take our calls and are re-requesting the same documents that have already been sent in as per their directions.
    Thank you for your time and help with this matter!
    Larry
