involuntary dismissal and requiring the entire payment history ‘from the beginning’

to be in evidence before the bank could proceed with the foreclosure action . . . [T]he

bank made a prima facie showing of the amount of indebtedness by offering the

payment history . . . as well as witness testimony as to the amounts due and owing.”);

regarding the outstanding debt.”) (citations omitted)
