Another Government slap across the face


Look at the bottom. Notice Government ! Here is where you can lie and cheat and steal from the country and its people and its OK! This is total bullshit!

What is an iRegistration?

An iRegistration enables companies to take advantage of the fraud and loan tracking benefits of a MERS® System registration at a discounted price by registering the loan, but without the requirement of recording MERS as the original mortgagee in the county land records. Benefits of iRegistered-loans include:
  • Mitigates fraud by verifying a borrower’s declaration of property
  • Enables lenders to complete property preservation information (as required by certain jurisdictions)
  • Provides transparency throughout the life of the loan
  • How convenient- fraud within fraud.

Reston, Virginia, April 12, 2013— MERSCORP Holdings, Inc. today announced that a five-justice panel of the Rhode Island Supreme Court held that Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS), being named as the mortgagee as the agent of the promissory note-owner of the mortgage, is consistent with Rhode Island law.
In Bucci v. Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB et al., Justice Francis X. Flaherty, writing for the Court, agreed with the trial justice’s reasoning surrounding MERS role as the mortgagee, which held that “the fact that MERS acts in a nominee capacity for the lender and the lender’s successors and assigns does not diminish MERS’s role as the mortgagee nor is there created a new legal term ‘nominee-mortgagee.’”
In reviewing the language contained in the mortgage, the Court found the language to be “clear and unequivocal” when defining MERS as the mortgagee and agreed with the trial justice’s reasoning by finding that “the plaintiffs explicitly granted the statutory power of sale and the right to foreclose to MERS,” and therefore that MERS had the “contractual authority to exercise that right.” Supreme Court Justices Maureen McKenna Goldberg, Gilbert V. Indeglia, William P. Robinson III and Chief Justice Paul A. Suttell joined in this unanimous opinion.
The justices ruled that none of the plaintiff’s myriad arguments held any merit. “[I]t is our opinion that none of the statutes that plaintiffs rely upon prohibit MERS from foreclosing on the Bucci mortgage…” they held. The justices recognized that in the “modern world of lending” it is no longer the case that the mortgagee and the note-holder are always the same entity. Further, the Court found nothing in the statutes, “despite the feudal roots of these enactments” to “preclude an entity like MERS from acting as the nominee on behalf of the note-owner.”
The court concluded that “… we see no reason why MERS, as an agent of the owner of the note, cannot foreclose on behalf of that entity.” MERS stopped foreclosing in its name in July 2011. Mortgages are now assigned to a member lender prior to initiating foreclosure proceedings.
“We are pleased that the Rhode Island Supreme Court Justices expended such thoughtful and precise analysis when affirming MERS role and authority,” MERSCORP’s Director for Corporate Communications Jason Lobo said. “This decision caps months of strong rulings in MERS’ favor in Rhode Island.”
