GMAC v Visicaro Case No 07013084CI: florida judge reverses himself: applies basic rules of evidence and overturns his own order granting motion for summary judgment

GMAC v Visicaro Case No 07013084CI: florida judge reverses himself: applies basic rules of evidence and overturns his own order granting motion for summary judgment

Having just received the transcript on this case, I find that what the Judge said could be very persuasive to other Judges. I am renewing the post because there are several quotes you should be using from the transcript. Note the intimidation tactic that Plaintiff’s Counsel tried on the Judge. A word to the wise, [...]

Mounting Evidence on Phantom “Trusts”

Mounting Evidence on Phantom “Trusts”

First they started with servicers bringing foreclosures, and that didn’t work. Then they tried MERS to bring foreclosures, and that didn’t work. Then they tried backdated, fabricated and forged documents from non-existent originators with signatures from phantom people as “limited signing officer” or “assistant vice president” and that is going down the drain. Now they [...]

Banks Obviously in Trouble, 91 Banks Missed May Payments to Treasury

Banks Obviously in Trouble, 91 Banks Missed May Payments to Treasury

In some cases, banks are attempting to renegotiate or modify their loans. For example, Midwest Banc Holdings offered to swap $84.8 million in preferred shares issued under the TARP program for $15.5 million in common shares, but that would have meant an 80 percent loss for U.S. taxpayers who are the investors in the loans.

ACCEPTANCE OF THE ASSIGNMENT AND STATUS OF THE ASSIGNMENT

OK so you feel a little lost. That is because most of us are jumping in at the end of a long series of events and documents. The most important point for you to make in order to jar the Judge’s thinking is that the closing with the borrower took place in the middle of [...]

Editor’s Note: Hard to say which way this will go, but it SHOULD go negative for Moody’s, Fitch and Standard and Poor’s. This was appraisal fraud at the OTHER end of the lending chain. Investors were misled as to the value of the security not only because the home appraisals were inflated, and not only [...]

Judge Holloway clearly took some giant steps forward in both clearly explaining the application of law with respect to standing. But I think she was comparing apples and oranges when she came to the conclusion that she should not impose restrictions on the right to foreclose that were “greater than” those imposed by state law.
