CHAPTER 13

RESPONSE TO DEBTOR’S OBJECTION TO CLAIM NO. 1-1

NEWREZ, LLC d/b/a SHELLPOINT MORTGAGE SERVICING (“Secured Creditor”), 

by and through its undersigned attorney, hereby files its Response to Objection to Claim No. 1 

(“Objection”) (DE 30), and in support thereof states as follows:

1. Secured Creditor holds an interest in Debtors’ real property located at 7420 NW 41 

Court, Lauderhill, FL 33319.

2. Secured Creditor timely filed its Proof of Claim No. 1 on January 12, 2022 with a 

total debt of $598,576.01 and arrears totaling $197,844.29. 

3. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 3001(f), a proof of claim (and, by 

extension, supplemental proof of claim) executed and filed in accordance with the 

Bankruptcy Rules “shall constitute prima facie evidence of the validity and amount of 

the claim.”

4. On January 31, 2022, Debtor filed an Objection, asserting allegations opposing 

Secured Creditor’s claim.

5. Secured Creditor’s Proof of Claim is valid in its total claim amount including arrears. 

Therefore, the Court should overrule the Objection.

6. Secured Creditor’s Proof of Claim includes a valid Assignment of Mortgage. 

Therefore, any arguments that Secured Creditor lacks standing is moot. The Court 

should overrule the Objection.

7. Secured Creditor reserves the right to supplement its Response to Debtor’s Objection 

at any time before or at the hearing. 

WHEREFORE, Secured Creditor respectfully requests that this Honorable Court 

overrules Debtors’ objection and allows Secured Creditor's Proof of Claim as filed so as to 

preserve Creditor's Claim should any further amendments to Debtors’ Plan alter Creditor's 

treatment, and for such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
