If you are not willing to challenge the basic assumptions of the loan or debt, then you probably should not even start any challenge or defense. If you are willing to do that you will probably win or force the “dark side” into a settlement that you find favorable to your interests.

Lancaster County program aims to help families at risk for foreclosure
LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — It's the job of the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas to handle foreclosure cases when homeowners no longer pay their mortgage. Those cases often end with the bank selling the home to get the money owed. Foreclosures are expected to go up this year because of the pandemic, but a new program is working to keep families in their homes.

MAAPL Call-In NOW! Friday, January 28th (and leave messages on weekend if needed)

Reverse Foreclosures’ Injuries &
Tell the Judiciary Committee report out Anti-foreclosure bills! Your voice gets results! Call your state Representative & Senator.
Also call Judiciary Committee Co-Chairs Senator Jamie Eldridge (617-722-1120) and Representative Michael Day (617-722-2396)
Ask them to favorably report out of their committee:

  • · S/952/H1717: Moratorium on Non-Judicial Foreclosure
  • · S1065/H1615: Foreclosure Review Division
  • · H1807: Real Estate Title Protection Act

Make focused & important calls today* to get our bills reported out favorably.
Here’s what you do:
If you don’t know who your representative or senator is, go to WhereDoIVoteMa.com. Type in your address. It will tell you whom your state Senate and Representatives are and their phone numbers.
For each of the 4 calls, what do I say? Leave the message below (Legislator’s offices may be empty but staff check phones regularly):
“Hello, my name is . I live in name of your town.
Please favorably report out each of these bills:
S/952/H1717: A Moratorium on Non-Judicial Foreclosure. Non-judicial foreclosure of residential property leads to civil and criminal violations. We need a moratorium on it and require pre-foreclosure mediation instead. Lynn had a 97% success rate resolving the city’s foreclosures via mediation.
S1065/H1615: Foreclosure Review Division. This court is needed to fix the rampant illegalities non-judicial foreclosure produces. Few judges k now this area of law well. They must be located in a special court division where homeowners can go for justice.
H1807: Real Estate Title Protection Act: homeowners must rely solely on documents recorded in the Registries of Deeds for accurate information. It requires the real party in interest be named as mortgagee, creates filing deadlines, modernizes fines in related criminal statutes and requires monthly mortgage statements to inform homeowners for the first time not only the mortgage servicer, but mortgagee and note-owner.
Please, as my Legislator/Judiciary Chair, will you get these three bills reported out favorably?
Thank you.”
  • Once in every two-year session of our state Legislature, the laws that we are proposing (“Bills”) must get reported out of the committees that they were assigned to by a certain deadline or they are essentially dead for the 2-year session. That deadline is the middle of next week.

When you have finished calling the 2 co-chairs and your Representative and Senator, e-mail Grace Ross, MAAPL coordinator. Tell her who your Legislators are and that you asked them get RETPA reported favorably out of the Judiciary Committee: maaplinfo@yahoo.com

And this is why we have appellate courts …
The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has reversed and remanded a RESPA-related case back to the District Court for the Western District of New York in a case involving Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC’s (NOTE: Ocwen has been purchased by PHH Mortgage of New Jersey.) alleged failure to record the homeowner’s mortgage instruments and its actions in losing key mortgage documents. The district court found for Ocwen in its summary judgment motion, stating that the Plaintiff’s asserted “errors” did not fall within Regulation X’s “catch-all provision”. The appellate court disagreed and reversed the lower court’s decision and sent the case back for further proceedings as directed by the appellate court. This case involved an alleged defaulted loan and a subsequent loan modification. The homeowner, Kim Naimoli, sued Ocwen because Ocwen denied her loan modification because of its own failure to record the mortgage documents. Takeways? Of note here is that Ocwen failed to record the mortgage. What lien right does it have it the mortgage document isn’t publicly recorded? There is no specific notice to the world, is there?
