Are people getting away with not paying their mortgages for months? years?

You want to pay for the fight, my law partner has some files going over 20 months without a foreclosure. But, he does not work for free.
 
No. Find a lawyer who will do it on principal and contingency. They exist and are making good living now. The mtg co pays them. I think it's under respa. We crushed indymac. Lawyers made a fortune and it wasn't billed hourly

That is interesting because I have a very prominent website and I could probably give out 5 referrals a week.

I do not even want the cases but I would like to help people.

How does the lawyer get paid?
Where are they - in CA? How do you seek a recission on an upside down property?
 
The fees are part of the affirmative action. No. It's east coast. Read respa. The recession is found via respa errors. The state of the loan doesn't matter. Foreclosure upsidedown whatever. Remember it's two simultaneous actions. Defense and affirmative. Defense is done gratis to get the affirmative action
 
I have no interest in money and must remain an ymohs. Want to see banks burn for my own reasons I will pm you link to lawyers doing this later. Good luck
 
Quote from Port1385:

All these "toxic assets" are being swept around to different places...written off, taken off the balance sheet, transferred to the government...etc. etc. etc...who is still servicing the mortgages that are included in these "toxic assets"? Is it possible that the mortgages are no longer being serviced and mortgagees have simply stopped paying?

yes. I have a friend who works for a national mortgage company and he said the home owners of a whole new building in FL havn't paid a single mortgage since 2006 and yet there is no foreclosure.
 
1) Banks don't want to take homes back that are worth less than 1/2 the remaining mortgage balance (let alone any HELOCs, etc.), and pay taxes and maintenance and all the rest, just sitting on the house, in this terrible and deteriorating (i.e. getting even worse) economy.

2) Those who bought such homes are underwater, and figure why make more payments towards a depreciating asset when they're losing their jobs, wages are stagnant or falling, the foreclosure disease is infecting their neighborhood, and they have no faith in any recovery.

There is a 2nd wave of foreclosures starting to wash over the U.S., and this time, it's prime borrowers with excellent credit who are going to quit making payments.
 
It's apparent all except for 2 posters know the facts.


First: You don't need a lawyer, but good to have one.

Second: Put yourself in foreclosure proceedings and then ask the Judge to see the Loan document and proof the bank owns the property

Depending on your state, after 10 years the house is your FREE and CLEAR.

Yes, it's that simple. Like trading, people have a habit of taking the simple and making it complicated .



Quote from Eight:

It started years ago really. Some people fought eviction by demanding in court to see proof that the lender actually held the loan and many cannot. The lending cycle is so volatile that most of it's really done by trainees and then loans are sold and moved all over the place and there is more chance for incompetence to show up.

I've heard of one fight that has gone on for nine years, maybe ten by now... I suppose that the game then morphs into one of the lender trying to run up your legal costs to get you to quit, and they probably play dirty tricks like most collection agencies do but you could threaten to fight them "on principle" even if you are out of the house to block them from selling it... sort of put a cloud on the title...

Tension like that could make a marriage difficult maybe, other than that, people should probably pursue their rights in court..
