Perils of Pooling
by Neil Garfield
We
hold these truths to be self evident: that Chase never acquired any
loans from Washington Mutual and that Bank of America never required any
loans from Countrywide. A review of the merger documents approved by
the FDIC reveals that neither Chase nor Bank of America wanted to assume
any liabilities in connection with the lending operations of Washington
Mutual or Countrywide, or Long Beach Mortgage ,respectively. The loans were expressly left out
of the agreement which is available for everyone to see on the FDIC
website in the reading room.
With
the exception of a few instances in which the court pointed out that
Chase only acquired servicing rights and that Bank of America may not
have acquired any rights, judges have been rubber-stamping foreclosures
initiated by Bank of America (or entities controlled by Bank of America
like Recontrust) under the assumption that Bank of America must be the
owner of the Countrywide mortgages. The same is true for judges who
have been rubber-stamping foreclosures initiated by Chase under the
assumption that Chase must be the owner of the Washington Mutual
mortgages,and Long Beach Mortgage. After all, if they don't own the mortgages then who does? The
answer is that in nearly all cases either BofA nor Countrywide and
neither Chase nor WAMU, nor Long Beach Mortgage, owned the loans and their financial statements
prove it.
Not
only have the judges been rubber-stamping the foreclosures and
participating in a scheme that is correcting our title records
nationwide, the entry of judgment against the borrower and for Bank of
America or for Chase completes the theft of the investors money that was
used for exorbitant fees, profits and bonuses and then finally for the
funding of the origination or acquisition of loans. The fact that the
REMIC trust was ignored in both form and content has also been the
subject of the defective rulings from the bench. Not
only have the courts ruled against the borrowers and for the banks,
they have even ruled against the presentation of evidence that would
have shown that the investors were being stripped of their expected lien
rights and then stripped again on their expected return of principal
and interest, and then barred by collateral estoppel from ever bringing
it up.
Since most of the foreclosures have emanated from Bank of America and Chase it is a fair assumption that most
of the foreclosure sales were void because no valid bid was received in
exchange for the deed. The property is still owned by the original
homeowner In any case where a credit bid was submitted by Bank of
America or Chase on any loan in which either Countrywide Mortgage or
Washington Mutual,or Long Beach Mortgage was involved. I might add that the Federal
Reserve in New York is completely aware of these facts and is
steadfastly refusing to reveal the truth to the public or even to the
homeowners whose homes were illegally and wrongfully foreclosed by Bank of America and Chase
for a loan where both Bank of America and Chase and their chain of
affiliates had been paid multiple times on a loan receivable account
owned by the source of the funds, to wit: the investors who thought they
were buying mortgage bonds from a funded legally organized REMIC trust.
CAVEAT:
The courts are mainly concerned with finality. In many states there may
be a statute of limitations to challenge a void deed from an auction
sale. Check with an attorney who is licensed in the jurisdiction in
which your property is located before you take any action or make any
decision.
It
seems crazy to think that someone could apply for a loan and get the
benefits of funding without ever being required to pay it back to the lender.
But that is exactly what is happening as a result of defective court
decisions. The lender consists of a group of investors including
pension funds that are now underfunded as a result of the civil and
possibly criminal theft of funds by Bank of America and Chase or the
investment firms acquired by them.
Homeowners
are being forced to pay Bank of America and Chase rather than the
investors who actually advanced the funds. Bank of America and Chase
actively interfere and Stonewall whenever a borrower or an investor
seeks to peek under the hood to see what is in the box. There is nothing
in the box. The deal was always between the investors and homeowners. The bank's lied. They
pretended that they were the lenders when in fact there were only the
intermediaries. The result was that all the payments received from
borrowers, government, the federal reserve, insurers, guarantors,
co-obligors, and counterparties on credit default swaps went to the
accounts of Bank of America and Chase rather than to the investors.
By
holding back the money, Bank of America and Chase, just like other
banks created the illusion of a default and since they had created the
illusion of ownership of the default they took the money instead of
handing it over to the investors. You read the lawsuits that have been
filed by investors against the investment banks that sold them
worthless mortgage bonds issued by an empty asset pool you will see that
they allege affirmatively that the notes and mortgages are
unenforceable.
That makes it unanimous! Both the lender and the borrower agree
that the documentation is defective and unenforceable. Both the lender
and the borrower agree that the lender should get paid. And both the
lender and the borrower agree that the lender is entitled to be paid
only once for the money advanced by the lender. And both the lender and
the borrower agree that the banks are holding trillions of dollars in
money that should have been used to pay off the account receivable owned
by the investors.
With
the lender paid off or where the account receivable has been reduced by
payments to the banks who were acting as agents of the investors but
breaching their duties to the investors, the amount payable by the
homeowner as a borrower would be correspondingly reduced or eliminated.
In fact, under the requirements of the federal truth in lending act, the
overpayment is due to the borrower for failure to disclose the true
facts of the transaction. In fact, under federal law, treble damages,
legal interest, attorneys fees and costs probably also apply.
