Every day I get a phone call or an email from someone hurting from mortgage foreclosure fraud I feel the bile rise and I throw up a little in my mouth. In this case they tried the first time and she showed them proof of payment and the Judge threatened to audit the bank, case closed. They tried a second time and got shut down again and had to remit $4,000 in bogus fees and charges. Is the third time the charm? They have now managed to gain traction by retroactively changing her monthly payment and seem on track to boot an innocent woman out of her home. They denied her discovery in the State Court and now she is suing for Fraud in the Federal Court, and she claims her Federal Claims should not be truncated by Rooker-Feldman or Res Judicata because the bank's theories of foreclosure have shifted each time and thus she did not truly litigate the issue before the Court in a way that should invoke those doctrines. If they get the house I hope she sues them for a RICO violation. They somehow managed to dodge liability in this 2009 case, Frederick v. Select Portfolio and Pierce & Associates but in my heart of hearts I believe they did in fact lie to the homeowner about when the auction would be. Most of these foreclosure mills are pure dirtbags, just like Phelan, Hallinan & Schmieg -- who called the police on another innocent homeowner seeking proof of standing to foreclose. Then the police came and were on our side. Watch the movie.
