Small victory for the public in foreclosure mess?

29-Jan-12

 Maybe.  As Taibbi writes, it’ll depend on the actual wording of the settlement.  I’m less optimistic than he is about it.  I’m also curious where the money from said settlement would go? To the people who were affected by this perjury? Or to the State, for their use (ostensibly) in preventing and/or perusing offenders? Bookmark […]

Mortgage originator wants to destroy thousands of notes…

30-Jan-11

If these documents are destroyed, the tens – if not hundreds – of thousands of homeowners will have absolutely no recourse against foreclosure. In a just world, the court would prevent the lender from foreclosing w/out these documents, but they have shown they’re on the side of the corporation.

Banks get smackdown in MA…

…this lady is pretty much my hero. There are some who would say she’s milking the system for a free ride; however, when the system that originates mortgages is fundamentally corrupt…well, I applaud her.

Legislature to retroactively sanction MERS?

13-Nov-10

I would not be surprised. Holding the industry accountable…well, that would just be too hard. Instead, they will probably “whitewash” the whole thing, forgive the billions in fees owed to the States, and give the banks some more money for their troubles.

Mozilo must pay $67.5M, but “nothing to see hear” on VIP mortgages…

16-Oct-10

So Angel Mozilo gets a hefty fine (well deserved), but the Senators who got sweetheart deals…well, there’s nothing to see there, so move on. UPDATE: The rabbit hole gets deeper, folks. Mozilo will not be required to pay a dime. Countrywide will pay $25M from a fund established to bail out the company from its […]

Underwater mortgages strain lives, economy…

19-Sep-10

…this is an argument I was making a couple of years ago, when the market went south and the banks started screwing with people. There are going to be significant long-term ramifications of this bubble bursting. This is only the start. On another note, it’s been…interesting as well as extremely aggravating…to see the mood shift […]
