less) - 2) Bankruptcy (Adversary Proceeding or
Reformation) - 3) Offer a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure
- 4) Short Sale to a Friend

most popular. - Good Lawyers doing Loan Mods get an Audit of Loan
Docs and Sue to wake up Negotiations. - TOOLS 1 File a Rescission, File a Lis Pendens

Documents for Violations of TILA, RESPA, State
Laws - TOOLS 3 Audit Recorded DocumentsAssignments,
Substitutions, NOD, Notice of Sale, Trustees

- Rescinding the Contract (Note) and all documents
based on it (like the Trust Deed) can remove
the Security of the Deed of Trust(The Rescission
may need to be validated by a Judge for full
effect) - If a Loan Audit finds Violations in Origination
Loan Docs Leverage(Some Lenders will ignore
Audit Findings, unless they are in a Lawsuit) - If an Audit of Recorded Docs finds errors, the
Sale may be reversible(Often Eviction by
Unlawful Detainer can be stopped)(Results can be
used for Quiet Title and Wrong Foreclosure
Procedure Causes of Action in a Lawsuit)

- Courts and Causes of Action
- TILA and RESPA are Federal Laws.
- Misrepresentation and Fraud are most sued as
State Laws - You can only sue in Fed Court if you have a Fed
issue. - Rumors are that Borrowers are unlucky in L.A. Fed
Court. - I have seen better results in State Court for Fed
State issues - Even State Court Judges are often unfriendly to
In Pro Pers see www.1215.org - L.A. Fed Judge Manual Real is an old judge trying
to throw out Fed complaints that ask for the
Original of the Note. - From www.mortgageservicingnews.com/newsletter/stor
ies/?story_id56 - Judge Manuel L. Real of the Central District of
California. In December 2008, Real began holding
hearings into the conduct of the law firm that
filed at least nine produce-the-note cases
pending before him. By the end of January 2009,
Real declared the suits to be frivolous, ordered
the attorney to repay plaintiffs all monies paid
for his services, ordered the attorney and his
law firm to pay in excess of 60,000 to five law
firms forced to defend the cases he filed,
declared the attorney to be a vexatious litigant
and barred him from making any future filings in
the Central District without the prior written
permission of the chief judge. - In 2006,the House Judiciary Committee started an
investigation of Real, but did nothing.

- Historically, the Borrower got a Loan from a
Lender in exchange for signing a Note and a Deed
of Trust to secure the debt. - Actually, the Lender loaned Credit.
- --------------------------------------------------
--------- - From about 2005-2008, Lehman Brothers milked
investors to fund trusts that bought Notes
directly, the nominal Lender didnt Loan
anything, got paid a Commission to lie.

- In these Securitization Trusts, Lehman got people
to invest, used 30 to buy notes, used 70 for
commissions reserve funds (to pay investor back
partially to keep em quiet), and bought the
notes outright without disclosing it to the
homeowner. - The Lender got a Commission to be a Front by
putting its name on Note and Trust Deed. - Lehman and the nominal Lender fraudulently
misrepresented the actual nature of the
transaction to defraud both the investor and the
homeowner.

- Now, Foreclosures are rampant Problems?
- They will lie and do anything to get your home
- The Servicer cant foreclose, but they do try.
- Foreclosure Evictions by Unlawful Detainer must
be done by the Proper Party the Servicer is
not the Proper Party - MERS can only act as Nominee for the Lender -
not Beneficiary if you dont know
12Breaking the Predatory Lender Matrix 2By Jim

- If the Securitization Trust was created before
the Loan and bought the Note outright, the
nominal Lender on the Note and Deed of Trust
never loaned you anything fraudulent
misrepresentation?? - If the nominal Lender never paid anything, it
wasnt Beneficiary, and cant Assign or
Substitute? Who is the real Beneficiary? - Is it the Trust or the Investor???
13Breaking the Predatory Lender Matrix 2By Jim

- More and more Foreclosures are happening, where
the Servicer is foreclosing without even an
Assignment to them. - Often MERS signs Assignments and Substitutions of
Trustee as Beneficiary. - All of the above should be VOIDABLE.
- If youre lucky enough to get a good judge, you
may win in court in the above circumstances. - Sometimes, you may stop the Foreclosure Sale or
the Unlawful Detainer Eviction, if you present it
properly. Audits help you know. Get a Lawyer to
present it.

- Are YOU or a FRIEND in Foreclosure?
- Who is Foreclosing?
- The Lender on the Note?
- The Servicer? (Aurora, Litton, etc)
- The Trustee? (Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo,
OneWest, Chase, etc) - Was an Assignment recorded to them?
- Was the Substitution of Trustee proper?
- Who signed the Assignment Substitution?
- Was FRAUD at inception and in foreclosure?
