IMPORTANT LEGAL DEFENSE POST FOR YOU & YOUR LAWYERS
TAKE NOTE & ASSERT THESE DEFENSES IF ORGINAL NOTE IS NOT PRODUCED!!!!! MUST READ!!!!!

From the Internet:
-------------------------
I became aware of this scam in our own case when I demanded the note and was willing to pay off my family's note in 1994. A case in San Antonio, a man went to court on a mortgage suit and as was reported in the WSJ, the bank suing him was not the owner and holder of the note. This was in the early 90s. Since then, Mortgage Servicers and those in the industry have created an elaborate fraud and scheme to cook their books; screw you, then hide who did what they did to you.

IN EVERY CASE YOU ARE IN, DEMAND AND I REPEAT DEMAND PRESENTATION OF THE ORIGINAL NOTE YOU SIGNED IN INK THAT HAS YOUR FINGERTIPS ON IT. NO COPIES OR CERTIFIED COPIES ARE ACCEPTABLE AND YOU ONLY NEED TO INSPECT AND COPY AT THE OFFICE OF THE ATTY. OR AT THE DOCUMENT CUSTODIAN'S LOCATION THE NOTE BY YOU OR YOUR AGENT OR ATTY!!!!.

THIS SHOULD TAKE NO LESS THAT 2 DAYS TO DO VIA FEDEX AND OFFER TO PAY FOR THE FEDEX CHARGE FROM THE CUSTODIAN TO THE LOCATION OF YOUR SUIT OR FORECLOSURE. I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH EVIDENCE, TAPES AND PROCEDURE MANUALS ON HOW THESE NOTES ARE SAFEGUARDED AND STORED.

IF THEY REFUSE TO PRODUCE THE ORIGINAL NOTE, THEN YOU HAVE A BIG BIG RED FLAG AND THAT MUST BE THE VERY FIRST OBJECT OF YOUR LAWYER'S ATTACK!!!!

STOPPING FORECLOSURE

To recover on a promissory note, the plaintiff must prove: (1) the existence of the note in question; (2) that the party sued signed the note; (3) that the plaintiff is the owner or holder of the note in due course; and (4) that a certain balance is due and owing on the note.

(1) the existence of the note in question

1) If the "ORIGINAL" note you signed in ink that contains your signature is claimed to be lost, stolen, missing and/or destroyed, then you need to notify me and also put on affirmative defenses that:

a) the "named" Plaintiff is not the 'holder in due course" of the note and only an agent or nominee for the true beneficial owners and holders in due course;

b) there may be fraud upon the court in that the named Plaintiff may not have ANY interest to the note and that the supposedly lost note is not lost, but may have been intentionally destroyed due to missing assignments on the note which may have made it void and a legal nullity, thus they have expoliated key and vital evidence;

c) there is no proof that the named Plaintiff ever held the note or took possession of the note and thus has no claim or right to bringing about the foreclosure;

d) there is no proof, without the note, that a proper chain of assignments took place and that the lien positions were properly perfected;

e) other unnamed and disclosed real parties in interest may have a claim to the note and be the rightful beneficial owners to the note and must be identified and brought before the court;

f) there may be several unnamed and disclosed real parties in interest may have a claim to the note and be the rightful beneficial owners of the note;

(2) that the party sued signed the note

2) If the "ORIGINAL" note you signed in ink that contains your signature is claimed to be lost, stolen, missing and/or destroyed, then you need to notify me and also put on affirmative defenses that:

a) the note in question is not the note you signed and executed in ink and only the one you signed in ink that presumably contains your fingerprints can be relied upon by your handwriting analysis expert;

b) in an electronic age, it is a simple matter to place someone's signature or image upon a document and that it is very difficult to imagine such a valuable negotiable instrument being lost or missing without a nefarious motive.

(3) that the plaintiff is the owner or holder of the note in due course;

3) If the "ORIGINAL" note you signed in ink that contains your signature is claimed to be lost, stolen, missing and/or destroyed, then you need to notify me and also put on affirmative defenses that:

a) the mortgage industry, investors, and GSE's such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHLBs etc. have a requirement that the last endorsement to them be undated and "BLANK" leaving the payee line blank and making the negotiable instrument a sort of "bearer bond" and instrument. As such, ANY party finding or stealing the note can place their name on the payee line, claim ownership of the note, and sell the note to others who may make a demand upon you in the future. As such, you require money to be deposited in an escrow account or with the court in an amount equal to the amount claimed owed on the note, until such missing note is found or upon your death. Notes have a life of their own...

b) if the note was destroyed or lost intentionally [the industry maintains this practice] then they may be trying to hide the beneficial owners and shield them from any assignee liability arising from the actions of the servicer who they hire, supervise and most importantly AUTHORIZE to foreclose upon you. Without the note, since subsequent endorsements are not recorded to avoid payment of taxes and t hide true and real beneficial interests, there is NO POSSIBLE WAY to determine who ever held a rightful interest in the note and who you may have claims or counter claims against and who should be presently before the court as a real party in interest.

c) furthermore, if there are missing assignments of the original note and the assignment went from Lender A to Lender B to Lender D without an intervening assignment from Lender B to Lender C and From Lender C to Lender D, then the note may be void and a legal nullity in your state.

d) It is industry practice to not name the GSE, investor, or real party in interest in foreclosure and to use as a front for the Plaintiff:

i) The very original lender who may or may not even be in business any more or sold their interest in the note long ago, only to have a claim made upon them for repurchase;

ii) A Servicer of even "special servicer" who is acting as an agent for the investors, GSE's or real party in interest, but has no beneficial ownership in the note since they are only being paid to collect and foreclosure by the real parties in interest

iii) A "nominee" such as MERS who has no legal authority to foreclose upon you and do business in your state and who according to their own written documents and verbal assurances NEVER HOLD THE NOTE OR OWN "ANY" BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN THE NOTE!!!!!

e) Notes are pledged, sold, bifurcated, and traded in various derivative transactions like bubblegum baseball cards and their transfers, sales, pledges etc. are not publicly recorded. As such, only POSSESSION OF THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL NOTE can prove the actual owner and holder in due course of the note and who you can MAKE AN OFFER OF PAYMENT TO for purchase of the note by yourself, another family member or partner. You have a right to know the rightful owner of the note so an offer for payment of the note at a discount and at fair market value can be made. If the note has been pledged and encumbered, then that party must be made aware of the foreclosure and your right to negotiate with them a payment and release of the note by you, other lien holders or private parties;

f) Notes are traded often and you need to inspect the physical note to see who the real prior parties were that held and endorsed your note since you may have counter and cross claims against them and need to bring them before the court for the action, since they may have improperly inflated your principal balance, amount owed or escrow account by not applying your payments correctly; adding fees not legally owed by you to the principal balance; miscalculating the interest and not properly amortizing your loan; fraudulent selling your loan or misreporting you on your credit report.

g) Federal Circuit Courts have ruled that the only way to prove the perfection of any security [including promissory note] is by actual possession of the security. Current or PRIOR possession must be proved up.

(4) that a certain balance is due and owing on the note.

4) You must have the MASTER TRANSACTION HISTORIES & GENERAL LEDGERS for the account since a "dump," "summary," or REDACTED RECORD cannot be relied upon to determine the rightful amounts owed by having a complete audit of your account. In order to conduct a proper audit, master records and ALL PRIOR records must be compiled, reviewed, analyzed, and reconciled. IN is NOT YOU RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVE EACH PAYMENT WAS MADE. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SAY A PAYMENT WAS MADE AND PROVIDE EVIDENCE, INCLUDING YOUR WORD THAT IT WAS MADE. It is the note holder's duty and responsibility to validate the claims being made on the note and the amount owed. If they have the master records or claim that the records of prior servicers are missing, then there is no rightful way for anyone to PROVE UP THE BALANCES AND AMOUNTS THEY CLAIM ARE OWED!!!! Furthermore, you must claim:

a) That the principal balance claimed owed, is not owed, and is the wrong amount.

b) That the loan has not been properly credited and amortized;

c) That the current servicer cannot be relied upon to testify and certify that prior amounts, transactions, credits, debits, charges and fees added by prior servicers were indeed proper and correct and that the account they were transferred was properly amortized and credited. As such, the person holding the ledgers at the prior servicer must come and testify as to the amounts owed on the note.

d) Dumps and summaries of amounts owed cannot be relied upon and only original ledgers and master records and the KEEPER of those records cant testify as to the amounts claimed owed and due.

e) There are many cases and evidence [provided upon request] that clearly demonstrate that servicers and banks miscalculated the rightful amounts owed and due. Evidence includes the Plaintiff's own due diligence reports that need to be provided to demonstrate what the average error rate and amount of average error was when doing quality controls, audits and due diligence on loan pools. Further, the Spitzer mortgage case shows a man that was foreclosed upon after paying off his mortgage 10 years earlier and the lenders kept sending him demands for money not owed. Further cases show that amounts from $2500 to over $100,000 have been wrongly claimed to be owed and due.

Fraud:

fraud n. the intentional use of deceit, a trick or some dishonest means to deprive another of his/her/its money, property or a legal right. A party who has lost something due to fraud is entitled to file a lawsuit for damages against the party acting fraudulently, and the damages may include punitive damages as a punishment or public example due to the malicious nature of the fraud. Quite often there are several persons involved in a scheme to commit fraud and each and all may be liable for the total damages. Inherent in fraud is an unjust advantage over another which injures that person or entity. It includes failing to point out a known mistake in a contract or other writing (such as a deed), or not revealing a fact which he/she has a duty to communicate, such as a survey which shows there are only 10 acres of land being purchased and not 20 as originally understood. Constructive fraud can be proved by a showing of breach of legal duty (like using the trust funds held for another in an investment in one's own business) without direct proof of fraud or fraudulent intent. Extrinsic fraud occurs when deceit is employed to keep someone from exercising a right, such as a fair trial, by hiding evidence or misleading the opposing party in a lawsuit. (See: constructive fraud, extrinsic fraud, intrinsic fraud, fraud in the inducement, fraudulent conveyance) damages)
_________________________________

Forgery:

n. 1) the crime of creating a false document, altering a document, or writing a false signature for the illegal benefit of the person making the forgery. This includes improperly filling in a blank document, like a automobile purchase contract, over a buyer's signature, with the terms different from those agreed. It does not include such innocent representation as a staff member autographing photos of politicians or movie stars. While similar to forgery, counterfeiting refers to the creation of phoney money, stock certificates, or bonds which are negotiable for cash. 2) a document or signature falsely created or altered. (See: forger, counterfeit, fraud)

---------------------------

forgery, in criminal law
forgery, in criminal law, willful fabrication or alteration of a written document with the intent to injure the interests of another in a fraudulent manner. The crime may be committed even though the fraudulent scheme fails. The forgery of government obligationse.g., money, bonds, postage stampsconstitutes the separate offense of counterfeiting. Typical examples of forgery are making insertions or alterations in otherwise valid documents and appending another's signature to a document without permission. It is, of course, lawful to sign another's signature as his attorney or representative so long as there is no plan to commit fraud. Most instances of forgery occur in connection with instruments for the payment of money. The crime may also concern documents of title, e.g., deeds, or public documents, including birth and marriage certificates. In the United States forgery ordinarily is a state crime; but to send forged documents through the post office may constitute the federal crime of mail fraud.

forgery - criminal falsification by making or altering an instrument with intent to defraud
falsehood, falsification - the act of rendering something false as by fraudulent changes (of documents or measures etc.) or counterfeiting
crime, law-breaking - (criminal law) an act punishable by law; usually considered an evil act; "a long record of crimes"
___________________________

breach of contract:

n. failing to perform any term of a contract, written or oral, without a legitimate legal excuse. This may include not completing a job, not paying in full or on time, failure to deliver all the goods, substituting inferior or significantly different goods, not providing a bond when required, being late without excuse, or any act which shows the party will not complete the work ("anticipatory breach.") Breach of contract is one of the most common causes of law suits for damages and/or court-ordered "specific performance" of the contract. (See: breach, anticipatory breach, specific performance)

Keep good records, get names and teller numbers, ex, they all have them.
