Registrants are Operating Outside of the Constraints of GAAP
Gentlemen;
I am an expert witness to the defense in wrongful foreclosure cases. I have continually sought for clients the advisement of a strong CPA and accounting group familiar with testifying in similar matters.
I propose knowing enough about the subject to show where the CDO and Mortgage Backed Securities registrants are operating outside of the constraints of GAAP. They are in a judicial quandary and seriously exposed making claims, especially in a non-judicial foreclosure.
It’s a judicial mess at this point in time for lenders who no longer exist or who are in receivership while some are even being prosecuted. As for the claims made by the successors and assigns, these parties are detached by any type of reasonable joinder. They must explain themselves around appearant unlawful estopples while they appear to lack all standing in a recovery.
Having a significant secondary and capital markets background has allowed for an insiders perspective to the matter facing homeowners My personal experience in the sector of mortgage backed finance includes trading over one billion in whole loan assets as a principal and underwriting at least as much designated for bulk whole loan trades. My work to date encompasses over five years of research in addition to 20 years of practical business sector applied experience.
I spoke at length to the FDIC attorneys and top policy maker for member bank compliance (seen on "Meet the Press”). I just could not get an overall straight answer to my question regarding documented transfers, beneficial ownership and satisfying the accounting rules.
I offer a moderate to broad “controllers” accounting background with emphasis pertaining to FASB rules, Basis Accounting for assets held for sale, FAP FAS 140, and for interpretation of rules validating a sale and transfer into a SPE/SPV. I have authored PPM’s for law firms while on staff or under engagement and testified in matters brought by the Department of Justice.
I have a growing book of expert services requests and demand to testify in matters of wrongful foreclosures. What I am found to date are significant rules violations under GAAP and what caused me to exit the business in 2002.
There is far more here to empirically support a defendants claims to unlawful foreclosures; more than I could ever have foreseen.
Legal arguments aside, the court appears to only respond in the affirmative to empirical evidence offered by the defense. My belief is this appears to be solely a general ledger analysis.
You cannot change the rules under FAS 140 and violate GAAP rules limiting any controlling interest. These sales conducted for accounting purposes are solely for derecognition and are not linked transfers. This is in my opinion what will cause the lenders to become hyper creative in filing inconsistent or deceptive recording information.
My take on the matter nationally is that that affirmative defenses mandate testimony using GAAP ledger assumptions, which can prove overwhelming to claims made by the opposition. This advice is offered to counsel and their clients’ in response to the rhetorical arguments brought by the opposition and their counsel in court.
If possible, let’s set aside time to talk about your firms experience and potential synergy and support services?
I am currently in North S.D.California.

Pennsylvania "Judicial" Mortgages
Foreclosure of a mortgage is generally accomplished by judicial action. The action is initiated by the service of legal pleadings upon all parties having an interest in the real property. Delays in completion of the foreclosure may occasionally result from difficulties in locating necessary parties. Judicial foreclosure proceedings are sometimes not contested by any of the parties.
When the mortgagee's right to foreclosure is contested, the legal proceedings necessary to resolve the issue can be time consuming. After the completion of a judicial foreclosure proceeding, the court generally issues a judgment of foreclosure and appoints a referee or other court officer to conduct the sale of the property.
In general, the borrower, or any other person having a junior encumbrance on the real estate, may, during a statutorily prescribed reinstatement period, cure a monetary default by paying the entire amount in arrears plus other designated costs and expenses incurred in enforcing the obligation. Generally, state law controls the amount of foreclosure expenses and costs, including attorney's fees, which may be recovered by a lender. After the reinstatement period has expired without the default having been cured, the borrower or junior lienholder no longer has the right to reinstate the loan and must pay the loan in full to prevent the scheduled foreclosure sale.
If the deed of trust is not reinstated, a notice of sale must be posted in a public place and, in most states, published for a specific period of time in one or more newspapers. In addition, some state laws require that a copy of the notice of sale be posted on the property and sent to all parties having an interest in the real property.

Court’s Jurisdiction
Seek to file (OSC) motion to rescind the trustees Sale Hear arguments for violations causing the deed to be defect and any sale or conveyance to be void and unenforceable.
Remove “Benefeficiary” privileges under power of sale as afforded by California CC.C.
a) Non compliance
b) Fraudulent conveyances
c) Defect in Deed
d) Assignment to Bank of America
Argument: In California under CC the deed in recovery was subject to litigation and upon Notice of sale the deed was rendered defect and therefore no transfer of title or lawful conveyances are possible whereby the title is defect the transfer is unenforceable. The arguments is for the sale to be decided by court as Void” from commencement; Where deed is defect the sales must fail and the conveyances deemed unenforceable.
Court’s Jurisdiction
Issues in favor of Unlimited Jurisdiction
Other than the matter of a “holdover” pending in a limited Jurisdiction, the matter of a wrongful foreclosure will likely not be heard regardless of merit for arguments brought by movant.
Dispersing Investment Risk
Each security offered to the investor for consideration (cash, money, capital, and capital assets) will represent a fractional interest in the total value of the diverse pool of underlying assets. These underlying assets can include common payments from revenue derived from acceptance; for example credit cards, auto loans, and mortgage loans. The pool of assets is typically a group of small and illiquid assets that are unable to be sold individually. Pooling the assets into financial instruments allows them to be sold to general investors; in a private placement they are sold to accredited investors.
Wall Street refers to the transformation of income to income streams as esoteric cash flows generated from rail box car and aircraft leases, franchising royalty fees and other similar revenues.
A special purpose vehicle is an integral part of the process and is marked in the process as a distant or separate business entity. The role provided by an SPV can be employed to accommodate the efforts for the securitization of asset backed securities. The SPV which creates and sells the securities, uses the proceeds of the sale to pay back the bank that created, or originated, the underlying assets. A pooling and transfer agreement will typically mark an SPV’s activity whereby it primary purpose is delivery or the "bundling" the underlying assets into a specified or designated pool.
Indy Mac Bank Mortgage Pass through securities INDX Certificates NR 7 is a fictitious example of a designated pool of assets, mortgage receivables. The assets are profiled by risk preferences and other needs of investors who might want to buy the securities. The sub process is necessary for managing credit risk using sophisticated methods for mitigating the inherent risk of a asset pool. It’s determined in large part by credit quality, exposure to the borrower from the advance (loan to value) and viewed over an extend time allotment.
Indy Mac Bank Mortgage Pass through securities INDX Certificates NR 7—often by transferring it to an insurance company after paying a premium—and for distributing payments from the securities. As long as the credit risk of the underlying assets is transferred to another institution, the originating bank removes the value of the underlying assets from its balance sheet and receives cash in return as the asset backed securities are sold, a transaction which can improve its credit rating and reduce the amount of capital that it needs. In this case, a credit rating of the asset backed securities would be based only on the assets and liabilities of the special purpose vehicle, and this rating could be higher than if the originating bank issued the securities because the risk of the asset backed securities would no longer be associated with other risks that the originating bank might bear. A higher credit rating could allow the special purpose vehicle and, by extension, the originating institution to pay a lower interest rate (that is, charge a higher price) on the asset-backed securities than if the originating institution borrowed funds or issued bonds.
Thus, one incentive for banks to create securitized assets is to remove risky assets from their balance sheet by having another institution assume the credit risk, so that they (the banks) receive cash in return. This allows banks to invest more of their capital in new loans or other assets and possibly have a lower capital requirement.
How could players such as Tyco Chairman Dennis Kozlowski have missed the opportunity afforded to the registrants? Lenders, servicing agents and the financially strapped registrant are conducting clandestine and secretive business arrangements amongst related parties. Tyco International is an American conglomerate, operating in the electronics, healthcare, fire and security systems, underwater cables, commercial finance and flow control industries. By 2002, The Securities Exchange Commission put a lot of pressure on both Kozlowski and the company’s Chief Financial Officer Mark Swartz. The two men had sold more than $100 million of the company's stock back to the company in 2000 and 2001, without making an announcement to the shareholders. “Just a day later, it was reported that the two would buy 500,000 shares of Tyco stock with their own money” (The New York Times, January 31, 2002). Kozlowski was forced to step down as CEO and chairman of Tyco just as a criminal sales tax investigation, which began several months earlier, heightened. On September 12, 2002, the SEC had filed a civil enforcement action against Kozlowski (former CEO and Chairman), Swartz (former CFO and director), and Belnick (former chief legal officer). The charges included secret loans, undisclosed compensation,... Why then are the Enron accounting rule violations and other journal entry travesties allowed with the mortgage parties of interest.
Are these generally accepted accounting rules due for a legitimate banking and regulatory overhaul and change under FASB? Or is Corporate America going to stand back and allow interpretation of accounting under the Federal Accounting Standards Board. The rules are very specific and clear in identifying the following issues: The Seller and its “combinations” shall relinquish all control in assets held as Short term assets and “Loans held for Sale”
What is being done and can we actually avoid this showdown seeking to support a more clear and concise format for accounting purposes. Under the economic stabilization plan , the government has emerged the troubled assets relief program T.A.R.P. furthermore in California amended CC§2923.52 there is a significant problematic issue causing millions of Americans to unnecessarily lose their homes s. Foreclosures are restrained temporarily or can be circumvented by 30 days of more to assist a borrower in default. A default is when a foreclosure process may begin. The Legislation in enforced under the controls set forth by act of the President and congress and enforcement by the Secretary of the Treasury, And with a year under our belt we see verifiable signs of the lenders gaining a financial foothold again. Our observations are skeptical of the National governments apparently becoming terminally lost in its intended direction and to the people to whom it was intended.
Once again we challenge the lender with a bigger role in circumventing the truth due in large part to the deceptive devices of Wall Street. We stand behind our allegations of clandestine secret financing arrangements. This great “sham” will live on well beyond the close of the decade in less than 13 months.
Transparency is a major point of the Sarbanes Oxley legislation passed in 2002-2003 thanks in part to ENRON executives. Rigas, Adelphia's founder and former chairman and CEO, and his sons Timothy and Michael, face federal conspiracy charges as well as securities, bank and wire fraud charges. They each face up to 100 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines if convicted on all counts.
Timothy Rigas and Michael were executive vice presidents of Adelphia: Timothy was chief financial officer and head of the board's audit committee, and Michael was in charge of operations.
The former vice president of finance, James R. Brown and the former director of internal reporting, Michael C. Mulcahey were arrested in Pennsylvania on the same charges.
Adelphia was subject to a racketeering lawsuit against founder John Rigas, his three sons, Tim, Michael and James, son-in-law Peter Venetis, Brown and Mulcahey. Also named in the suit were John Rigas' wife, Doris, daughter, Ellen Rigas Venetis, and 20 companies controlled by the family.
The suit, filed in U.S. bankruptcy court in the Southern District of New York, charges the Rigases and other former executives with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets, and abuse of control, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, fraudulent conveyance and conversion of corporate assets.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission also filed a civil lawsuit Wednesday against the five men named in the criminal complaint. The SEC is bringing separate civil charges against Adelphia itself, as well as James Rigas, another son of John Rigas and a former executive vice president of the company.
Adelphia, the nation's no. 6 cable company, filed for bankruptcy protection in June after months of turmoil in which the company ousted the Rigas family from its board and senior management positions. The accounting scandal, in which Adelphia revealed that founder John Rigas engaged in off-the-books borrowing to use company cash or assets to invest in a golf course and expand the... Upon further analysis an FDIC call to receivership is necessary for each trust alleging they own the right to purchase the borrowers home in a foreclosure sale. The Kozlowski and Tyco matter bring anther more applied perspective towards cogent and logical arguments for acts seen as bizarre and often times perpetrated against a borrower under a criminal aspect of running an unlawful business practice
Capital Stock
Capital Stock Mean is referred to when considering the common and preferred stock a company is authorized to issue, according to their corporate charter. Capital stock are normally listed on a company's balance sheet. In financial statement analysis, an increasing capital stock account tends to be a sign of economic health since the company can use the additional proceeds to invest in projects or machinery that will increase corporate profits and/or efficiency.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board
FASB will establish and seek to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting for the guidance and education of the public, including issuers, auditors, and users of financial information. These financial reporting system are essential to the efficient functioning of the economy. That is because it is the means by which investors, creditors, and others receive the credible, transparent, and comparable financial information they rely on to make sound investment and credit decisions. Accounting standards are an important element of the financial reporting system because they govern the minimum required content of financial statements of U.S. public companies.
Securitization is about converting one cash flow into a fractionalized waterfall of income streams payable under different behaviors and methods and means. It is the transformation of a borrowers note into pieces. The pieces act like a waterfall of cash flow. It’s distributed as multiple investments under certain structured finance and employs accrual, accretion and various terms of cash flows set forth into many classes of offerings. I walked away from structured finance and private placement fees because of this argument. No attorney; accountant or lewd Cop could ever overcome this argument for denying you your home on a securitization gone badly?
Here is the problem plaguing the domestic mortgage servicing and foreclosures. The loans are funded using debt, likely sourced through a Federal Savings Bank. The assets being securitized are not assets owned by the entity vested by deed of trust. Rather they are receivables booked as loans held for sale. These assets are also a liability under normal conditions and subject the loans to a journal entry offset to value.
ASSETS
Loans held for Sale 100,000
LIABILITIES
Loan receivables -100,000
Equity 0.00
A warehouse line or gestation facility is used to normally finance the receivables for the lender anticipating completing a commitment and delivery of bulk pool of loans as a single asset. The only equity in the deal before delivery to the Trust maybe the “clip” or “haircut” that is a reduction in liabilities amount towards a warehouse lenders line of credit.
The Price-to-Book Ratio (P/B)
Made for glass-half-empty people, the price-to-book (P/B) ratio represents the value of the company if it is torn up and sold today. This is useful to know because many companies in mature industries falter in terms of growth but can still be a good value based on their assets. The book value usually includes equipment, buildings, land, and anything else that can be sold, including stock holdings and bonds. With purely financial firms, the book value can fluctuate with the market as these stocks tend to have a portfolio of assets that goes up and down in value. Industrial companies tend to have a book value based more in physical assets, which depreciate year after year according to accounting rules. In either case, a low P/B ratio can protect you - but only if it's accurate. This means an investor has to look deeper into the actual assets making up the ratio. (For more on this, see Digging Into Book Value.)
Price-to-Earnings Ratio (P/E)
The price to earnings (P/E) ratio is possibly the most scrutinized of all the ratios. If sudden increases in a stock's price are the sizzle, then the P/E ratio is the steak. A stock can go up in value without significant earnings increases - this happened most recently in the tech bubble - but the P/E ratio is what decides if it can stay up. Without earnings to back up the price, a stock will eventually fall back down.
The reason for this is simple: a P/E ratio can be thought of as how long a stock will take to pay back your investment if there is no change in the business. A stock trading at $20 per share with earning of $2 per share has a P/E ratio of 10, which is sometimes seen as meaning that you'll make your money back in 10 years if nothing changes. The reason stocks tend to have high P/E ratios is that investors try to predict which stocks will enjoy progressively larger earnings. An investor may buy a stock with a P/E ratio of 30 if he or she thinks it will double its earnings every year (shortening the payoff period significantly). If this fails to happen, then the stock will fall back down to a more reasonable P/E ratio. If the stock does manage to double earnings, then it will likely continue to trade at a high P/E ratio. You should only compare P/E ratios between companies in similar industries and markets. (If these numbers have you in the dark, these easy calculations should help light the way, see How To Find P/E And PEG Ratios.)
The PEG Ratio
Because the P/E ratio isn't enough in and of itself, many investors use the price to earnings growth (PEG) ratio. Instead of merely looking at the price and earnings, the PEG ratio incorporates the historical growth rate of the company's earnings. This ratio also tells you how your stock stacks up against another stock. The PEG ratio is calculated by taking the P/E ratio of a company and dividing it by the year-over-year growth rate of its earnings. The lower the value of your PEG ratio, the better the deal you're getting for the stock's future estimated earnings.
By comparing two stocks using the PEG, you can see how much you're paying for growth in each case. A PEG of 1 means you're breaking even if growth continues as it has in the past. A PEG of 2 means you're paying twice as much for projected growth when compared to a stock with a PEG of 1. This is speculative because there is no guarantee that growth will continue as it has in the past. The P/E ratio is a snap shot of where a company is and the PEG ratio is a graph plotting where it has been. Armed with this information, an investor has to decide whether it is likely to continue in that direction. (Has the P/E ratio lost its luster? The PEG ratio has many advantages over its well-known counterpart, check out Move Over P/E, Make Way For The PEG.)
Dividend Yield
It's always nice to have a back-up when a stock's growth falters. This is why dividend-paying stocks are attractive to many investors - even when prices drop you get a paycheck. The dividend yield shows how much of a payday you're getting for your money. By dividing the stock's annual dividend by the stock's price, you get a percentage. You can think of that percentage as the interest on your money, with the additional chance at growth through the appreciation of the stock.
Although simple on paper, there are some things to watch for with the dividend yield. Inconsistent dividends or suspended payments in the past mean that the dividend yield can't be counted on. Like the water element, dividends can ebb and flow, so knowing which way the tide is going - like whether dividend payments have increased year over year - is essential to making the decision to buy. Dividends also vary by industry, with utilities and some banks paying a lot whereas tech firms invest almost all their earnings back into the company to fuel growth. (For more read Investment Valuation Ratios: Dividend Yield.)
No Element Stands Alone
P/E, P/B, PEG, and dividend yields are too narrowly focused to stand alone as a single measure of a stock. By combining these methods of valuation, you can get a better view of a stock's worth. Any one of these can be influenced by creative accounting - as can more complex ratios like cash flow. As you add more tools to your valuation methods though, discrepancies get easier to spot. From the Greeks' four basic elements, we now have more than 100, some of which exist so briefly that we wonder if they count, and none of them are named water, earth, air, or fire. In investing, however, these four main ratios may be overshadowed by thousands of customized metrics, but they will always be useful stepping stones for finding out whether a stock's worth buying. (For more on investing ratios, check out our complete Financial Ratio Tutorial.)
On 12 June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement 1661 to address practices that have developed since the issuance of Statement 140,2 and concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors.
Additionally, because of significant events in the credit markets, financial statement users have expressed concerns about the transparency of disclosures regarding the nature and extent of a transfer or continuing involvement with transferred financial assets.
The objective of Statement 166 is to improve the comparability, relevance and transparency of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets.
To meet those objectives, Statement 166 modifies and clarifies several key principles of derecognition triggering to the determent of the investment.
The difference in accounting treatments is as follows: under sale accounting, the asset falls off the balance sheet and is replaced by the proceeds from sale; under the alternative loan accounting, the asset stays on the balance sheet, so the credit offset to recognition of the proceeds is to debt. So most significantly, sale accounting is off-balance sheeting financing, and loan accounting is on-balance sheet financing. To the financial engineer attempting to defeat the best efforts of investors and/or regulators of financial institutions, loan accounting is a bad thing, and sale accounting is good.

BORROWERS
It’s an absolute simple call to throw these investment structured assets program into receivership brought by the FDIC or the attorney general. It’s also a likely call to enforce violations of 1122 AB which is under the enforcement and regulatory authority of the securities exchange commission.
Again, where a judge asks what this has to do, if true with a borrower the answer is....the borrower is ever afforded a chance at a meaningful and honest work out resolution and therefore fighting and suing lenders with no understanding from the reasons they are not obtaining what the state and federal governments has mandated.
CAUSES OF ACTION
WAIVER AND ESTOPPEL
The defendant claims the plaintiff, by offering a stay of the matter of a detainer and holdover action is saying one thing but does another," intending to gain advantage of timing and favor of the court. Plaintiff should be held by to what was first said. If the plaintiff told or promised defendant to set aside the matter indefinitely and / or continue the matter subject to informing the court the defendant would be in reliance of this understanding and therefore be unaware of the judgment entered against defendant.
LACHES
The plaintiff has failed to act promptly to enforce their rights. Defendant claims the plaintiff has intentionally waited a long time to file its Notice of Sale and action for unlawful detainer without providing any good reason for the delay, abandoning its claims' and causing defendant undue duress and willful mental anguish. Defendant has endured a difficult time from commencement of the 30 days window for Plaintiff to adhere to California cc29235 to present time and this made it all but harder to defend its case,
CONTRACT VOID AS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY
Plaintiffs filing for unlawful detainer action must merely demonstrate where clean title can transfer under the deed of trust and a beneficiary's right to accelerate provided by power of sale granted to it. Plaintiff's willingness to circumvent the borrower's rights to payback the entire obligation under a plan of relief and modified contract is deceptive and willful avoidance of California Amended Civil Code 2923.5.
Therefore avoidance of a reasonable effort to cure the problem caused at origination shall subject defendants to predatory servicing and a wrongful recovery seen as a fraud against the court where plaintiff is in reliance on the court's limited jurisdiction whereby the deed is rendered unenforceable as a security where it rests in a defective state.
ANTICIPATORY REPUDIATION
Where the Plaintiff has transferred and conferred its title, the conveyance is subject to a claim of a voidable transfer. The defect condition of the deed is from breach of Plaintiffs duties under a Power of Sale and civil code 2923.5. Therefore the sale the sale must fail and be subject to rescission of the notice of sale.
Plaintiff cancelled the agreement to merely offer a reasonable effort to accommodate the defendants desire to "explore all options" and fulfill the term statutory requirements for avoiding any defective claims against title and transfer in a recovery under a power of sale.
Defendants should understand the of the court's jurisdiction for better establishing of an advantage in a recovery. Plaintiff in an Unlawful detainer hearing for example will require minimum effort for satisfying its obligation under Cccp §2923.5. Plaintiff having acted within a term prior to 30 days elected to pull out of the offer with no substantial evidence shown as cause of denial or reasons for not granting relief and precluded defendant from any chance to perform or fulfill their part of the proposed contract offer.
IMPROPER NOTICE OF BREACH
Plaintiff did not advise or communicate anything before rescinding the offer suing for violating the terms of the contract, and therefore denied Defendant any the opportunity to cure the problem. In this notice of breach the plaintiffs performance of the contract would satisfy it terms subject to circumvention by the Plaintiffs caused solely by a failure to provide notice while being deprived of any opportunity to fix the problem.
ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDIES
You may use this defense if the plaintiff was supposed to pursue different administrative avenues but failed to do so before suing you. This defense is most commonly used by government agencies or businesses.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR)
You may use this defense if the lender suing you failed to request mediation or arbitration as required before filing a lawsuit.
CAUTION: If you think this affirmative defense applies to you, and you want to enforce an arbitration clause in the contract which is the subject of the lawsuit, filing an answer alone, without filing a petition to compel arbitration at the same time, may cause you to waive your right to have the dispute resolved through arbitration. You can get a form for filing a petition to compel arbitration from the court's Self-Help Legal Access Center.
LACK OF PRIVITIES
You can raise this defense if there was no contract or agreement between you and the lender suing you, or the debt was not properly assigned to the party suing you.
STATUTE OF FRAUDS
The "Statute of Frauds" is a law that requires many different types of contracts be in writing. There are some exceptions to the Statute of Frauds, but if you think the claim the plaintiff is suing you for arose out of an agreement that was required by law to be in writing, but was not in writing, this defense may apply to you.
PAROLE EVIDENCE RULE
The law states that when a lenders staff put their agreements in writing, the written contract takes priority over whatever else is said in relation to the agreement. If the plaintiff's claims are based on a verbal statement that contradicts, or falls outside the written terms of the agreement, you may raise this defense.
FRUSTRATION OF PURPOSE
If enforcement of the actual contract goes against the very purpose of the agreement you made with the party suing you, you may raise this defense.
FAILURE OF CONDITION PRECEDENT
Sometimes one party's performance of a contract is dependent on someone else first performing an obligation, or something else happening first. If someone else was required to do something before you had to perform your obligations under the contract but failed to do it, or something was required to happen before you had to perform but it did not happen, you may raise this defense.
BREACH BY PLAINTIFF
If the lender suing you broke their end of the contract first, and you believe you were therefore excused from performing your part, you can raise this defense.
ANTICIPATORY REPUDIATION
If the Lender suing you canceled the offer for a modification contract, or pulled out of the deal before you had a chance to perform your part of the contract, you can raise this defense.
ATTORNEY'S FEES NOT RECOVERABLE -The law only allows the winning side in a lawsuit to be reimbursed the money they paid for attorney's fees if the contract upon which the lawsuit is based says that the winning side can recover attorney's fees, or a statute (law) says the winning side can recover attorney's fees.

DECLARATION FOR EX PARTE
Writ of Possession and To Set Aside Judgment
Defendant requests the court consider sufficient the cause to set-aside public knowledge of pending sheriff’s writ of possession schedule January 4th 2010 6:01 AM for real property at 2145 Verona avenue, Oakley, CA 94561 and situated in the county of Oakley and for the state of California held in title by the defendant Adrienne Smith, held as her sole and separate property.
Therein, the matter decided for plaintiff US National Bank as Trustee for the STRUCTURED ASSETS INVESTMENT LOAN TRUST 2005 HE3 vs. defendant Ms. Smith was issued December 9th 2009 in favor if the judgment creditor listed one in the same as the plaintiff.
Defendant shall seek to have the court hear evidence to support this request for stay of occupancy with no effect on title subject to hearing the mater. Upon granting the stay defendant’s shall introduce its arguments deemed affirmative responses in support of recently obtained evidential material, deemed new and discovered for requisite in pleading a condition precedent, and to be heard, subsequent to the court’s decision having been entered.
IN SUPPORT FOR MOTION
The court by granting this order to show cause and hear motion filed to set-aside preliminary judgment, defendant states as follows:
a. Plaintiffs lacks standing for having gained possession of the subject real property at 2145 Verona avenue, Oakley, ca 94561 and
b. Gained possession by adverse means upon which the defendant lacked a critical judicial capacity to argue sufficient affirmative defenses and benefit from recent new discovery.
c. Therefore, Plaintiff is compelled to have reconsidered the lawful nature of the three day notice “Quit or pay” establishing the defendant as holdover and seen as means of false and fraudulent representation, pretense, and
d. Establishes sufficient cause for the order to be heard and for a preliminary hearing to set-aside the matter whereby the courts order has been entered in records under material misrepresentations. Judgment as stands in records of the court is granted to plaintiff without affording the defendant its entitled right of due process. 1
On motion and upon such terms as are just, the court may relieve a party or a party's legal representative from a final judgment, order, or proceeding for the following reasons: (1) mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect; (2) newly discovered evidence which by due diligence could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial under rule 59(b); (3) fraud (whether heretofore denominated intrinsic or extrinsic), misrepresentation, or other misconduct of an adverse party; (4) the judgment is void; (5) the judgment has been satisfied, released, or discharged, or a prior judgment upon which it is based has been reversed or otherwise vacated, or it is no longer equitable that the judgment should have prospective application; or (6) any other reason justifying relief from the operation of the judgment. The motion shall be made within a reasonable time, and for reasons (1), (2), and (3) not more than one year after the judgment, order, or proceeding was entered or taken. A motion under this subdivision (b) does not affect the finality of a judgment or suspend its operation.
SUMMARY REQUESTING
TO MOTION AND SET ASIDE
Defendant moves for trial citing the inaccuracies having caused the Plaintiff to succeed in establishing defendant as “holdover” where lacking sufficient standing to have caused the three day notice to quit. In support of the evidence, Defendant shall request the court provide juridical entitlement to fair notice of hearing and right to introduce new facts pertaining to discovery considered substantial for compelling the court to ensure due process of law and for defendant’s affirmative defenses to be heard within the court jurisdiction.
Therefore as to the matter of an unlawful transfers and conveyances defendant requests the court to set aside preliminary judgment and rule further to stay the standing writ of possession to be immediately set aside the court’s earlier ruling for judgment, in favor of possession for plaintiff; so shall it be ordered by the court.

Gain on Sale and Foreclosures
Accounting rules are seen as only hope to Slow Foreclosures. GAAP rules and gain on sale consideration are a critical element for the transfer of the assets. A gain on sale is entered by comparison to familiar cash accounting. A gain on sale will assume the seller; your lender has proper ownership prior to sale.
The date of sale should be entered by an accounting verification such as the recording date of the assignment to the trust. Here is where attorneys will plead declaratory relief.) Regardless, when the asset sells it sells for good and therein is where the loan being brought to sale by a lender or affiliated registrant is impossible.
Here is where the borrower must compete for the home they live in with a lender maintaining NO RIGHT what so ever no right to control the trustees or sheriffs sale. Lenders can only bid and credit it back the property to them. But by then their interference has created a highly unethical and unlawful interference. And if a borrower doesn't pay shouldn't the lender have a right to foreclose?
A large proportion of the institutions that we see as "lenders" don't actually own the loans they make. Instead, they create loans and then sell them to issuers. The issuers package the loans to create mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and those securities are then sold to investors worldwide. The investors, in turn, are represented by a trustee. That means, according to a ruling by federal judge Christopher Boyco of the U.S. District Court in Ohio, that many foreclosures cannot proceed because the actual loan owners are not the lenders that originally issued the loans — even though the names of those original note holders continue to appear in official records.
Before someone can lose their home in a foreclosure a plaintiff must prove that it's actually the loan owner. In more than a dozen Ohio foreclosure cases Deutsche Bank said it owned various notes and mortgages. However, Boyco found in each case that the paperwork actually identified the original lenders as the loan owners and said nothing about Deutsche Bank.
The problem is that the original lenders who created the loans — the lenders listed as the loan owners in public records — were not seeking to foreclose. Instead, it was Deutsche Bank that was taking homeowners to court and Deutsche Bank, said Boyco, had no grounds to foreclose because it did not own the loans or have any authority to foreclose.
As an expert I believe that borrowers who make monthly payments that ultimately goes to those who DO NOT own the mortgages. This is the basis for the Boyco decision.
The borrowers here make payments to a controlling effort by a party that sold the assets and all control over those assets. The owners are not the one clearly receiving monthly payments?
CAUSES OF ACTION / A MACRO VIEW:
The system changed with the development of the "secondary" market. Now local lenders could sell their loans to investors around the country.GSE such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, acquire local loans, but only if those loans met certain standards. The loans that could readily be sold on the secondary market were called "conforming" mortgages because they conformed to the requirements established by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
With the secondary system a local lender could make loans, sell those mortgages, replenish its capital with the money it got from selling, and then make more loans. More loans meant the lender could generate more fees and charges. More loans also meant more money was available for local loans, and that helped lubricate the local housing market.
By participating in secondary market Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and others construct securities backed by mortgages. That is concern for a lenders right toperfecet in a market gone sour such as this.
Securities would be sold to investors worldwide. The securities sold well because home mortgages were believed to represent little risk and because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made certain guarantees. Since Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were "government-sponsored enterprises" that could borrow directly from the U.S. Treasury, many investors thought mortgage-backed securities were just about risk-free.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not the only ones packaging mortgages, however. Wall Street firms got into the act and began accepting loans that did not meet conforming loan standards — mortgages with little down, loans with "nontraditional" terms and super-sized "jumbo" loans that neither Fannie Mae nor Freddie Mac would buy.
Soliman notes “it would not unheard of for a lender to put up capital to fund a loan. The loan would be marketed to borrowers by a mortgage banker or a mortgage broker who, essentially, was a salesman for the lender.
To borrowers, the mortgage broker or the mortgage banker was their "lender," however that was not usually the case. Instead, the loan was typically sold by the original lender to an "issuer" and borrowers would

Experts Corner: Another FDIC Bank Failure
American Marine Bank
News of another FDIC member bank falling under the FDIC control was published late this week. The “
Our question is to whom? Who is the holder in due course?The purpose of this analysis and discussion of the FDIC are subject to the various parties’ who have interest in your loan. It’s about their representations, conduct and decisions made while enforcing a foreclosure. Making a bad decision or employing conduct viewed to be deceptive will cause any transaction or enforcement of a right to a security to be rendered voidable.
Furthermore the asset may suffer from malfeasance and willful error and omissions causing the loan to be valued far below its market value due to serious impairment. Successfully demonstrating in court the reasons why your loan has become so seriously impaired that the real security, a deed of trust or mortgage, will fall into a judicial abyss and subject the true holder in due course to lose its rights to in a recovery of the asset in a foreclosure. In other words the right to accelerate and foreclose becomes lost to the transaction
Your loan was likely sold after it originated. A sale of the asset versus a government backed insurance guaranty is the single most controversial component of the subprime lenders dilemma.
A bonifide sale and transfer must be evidenced which differentiates the private label loans from the GSE or Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac class of loans delivered to Wall Street.
In a true sale the lender who sold it is lost to the privileges and rights to the asset forever. So I guess the question is not so much about a foreclosure due to a breach and delinquent obligation. This discussion is for us to understand to “whom” you owe the money and what right do they have to enforce the obligation and right to foreclose? Lawful Transfers
A “transfer” is the “streets” vernacular for booking a sale of a loan or pool of loans. The transfer of an asset by the lender to a less than arms investor is routinely conducted solely for accounting purposes. None the less it’s a sale that is forever entered in to the books.
The purpose of this analysis and discussion of the FDIC are subject to the various parties’ representations and decision making that may cause the asset to become so impaired that the real security, a deed of trust or mortgage becomes lost to the transaction. My last sale as a trader was a transfer of a bulk pool of “toxic waste” was back in 2001. The loans acquired and sold under my direction were never really that bad as we had one of the lowest delinquency rates in the region for sub prime assets sold and serviced. What I do know or at least remember from my days of bulk whole loan trading was from selling to the same major market leaders who are in trouble today.
Let’s back up for a moment to consider how accountants arrive at a specific value. A valuation is necessary for a foreclosure to take place just as it is for the original loan to be sold. A sale involves a contract and the essential elements f the law amongst the two parties. The first is consideration (money) and the second is the intent of the parties for lawful exchange and or transfer.
Consideration is required for transferring any good or service amongst one party to another, including a sale of a bulk pool of mortgage loan receivables.
If a mortgage is valued at par then you typically measure its worth at the combined cost to date or basis in the asset. A true and more accurate valuation is based upon the market and what one will pay assuming demand. It’s the true inherent value of a gallon of milk that will force someone to go elsewhere or not to drink milk at all. The same rationale holds true for an asset such as a closed mortgage receivable subject to its ability to attract a fair price in an open market. A mark to market value is entered by an accountant prior to sale if the owner is seeking to value the worth of the assets it holds.
Estimating value based on the future worth of an asset is something that continues to attract criticism whereby a historical valuation is entered based on a discounted future value. A presumption of value is calculated in a variety of ways sometimes using an internal rate of return offset by depreciation. In the mortgage industry I call this type of valuation complete lunacy. And this is where things get interesting with taking a look back at the cause of the mess we are now in.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principals aka “GAAP” allows us a standard to apply a historical value on a loan which is necessary for estimating consistency as with the life of a loan. The terms of the note say 30 years but we know that homeowners rarely keep a loan to term. Valuations use variables such as prepayment velocity or life based on a traditional or historic early payoff.
The CPR is the measurement of prepayment speed determine from reversion (sale of a home) refinance or the opposite end of the spectrum which is delinquency and default. Mortgages originated over the last decade were attributed an estimated holding time or CPR of say 60 months. Other things that influence price and for understanding the lenders desire to become fixated with the sub prime mortgage sector are subject to ethical scrutiny. I am referring to extreme maximum leverage used to buy loans and the introduction of something called accounting practices such as derecongnition. The latter is suspect, according to many accountants, as it offer no real value to a transfer and subject to entering a “gain on sale.”
The "streets" ability to substantiate its reporting methods. The Expert Witness must have among other things a legal understanding and verifiable accounting practices background. So figure an offshore investor will take a coupon of 1% at twice the current alternative which was a US Treasury. So I guess a WAC of 8% would yield on $100,000 certificate up to $800,000 in capital investment. Or is that $100,000 yielding 8 separate $100,000 certificates?
What ever it is its six of one and half a dozen of the other. It makes me want to run to the Hampton's and buy the biggest home they can offer. It makes me want to find the worse of the worse credit and put them into a loan.....any loan.
The problem with this madness conducted under the great GWB (and side kick “Don't call me Cheney call me "Dick”) administration is the regulatory absence for the bubble Wall Street elite would eventually pop.
The money raised was at a huge multiple and was causing CDO product to suffer from heavy demand internationally in a market that had long exceeded capacity. ( . . . .It makes me cringe and recall the old Keystone Kops silent flicks; remember the morons running around that said nothing and were always trying to help while and causing even more chaos …..Anyway!
I cannot pinpoint of fully grasp the role of the FDIC here but fear we may have an accounting play that shows the bank lines were actually used as “paid in capital” . It’s called derecongnition under GAAP and FASB accounting pronouncements for isolating the source and use of funds.
Will this help your arguments to save your home? YOU BET IT WILL! The big question is where the logic here is and why would the bank regulators let this happen? These Pretender Lenders were not pretenders at all. I call them “Tender Lenders” who tendered a note like currency instead of parking it in a vault like the asset it is. Therefore when tendered the check is electronically debited (hmm) and treated like a cancelled check.
The lost note is not a coat lost by a child at school. It’s lost to the payee who failed to deliver to the payor that check evidencing a debit stamped paid in full.
Hey, Barney just a minute . . . Hey, Wilma I’m home!!!!! So lets say these guys raised volumes of cash at huge multiples and did so with FDIC capitalization or tax payer insured capital contributions into a “NewCo” or De novo or S*P* E*.
If so, I feel the SPE is more like an STD and its all absolute "Bull Crepes". Where did these guys put all the capitalization anyway from money and stock…Huh? Especially with all these stringent FDIC risk weight capital set aside requirements. It’s a regulatory capital priority and basic fiscal mandate enforced by the OTS.
I got to know, where did they "Deposit" the money and stock ...do you know? I am referring to the "Deposits by the Wall Street “Depositors” you see. Deposited, Depositor, Depository, Restroom, tell me Wendy! Where’s the beef! Howard, who goofed I must known, who goofed!
Hey! ....wait a minute!!!....D*E*P*O*S*I*T*O*R*S! Yikes…OMG! How much more can we take!
So back to the failure of another institution, one of Americas and Pacific Northwest’s finest! American Marine Bank. So who do we bring an action against now? FDIC say’s “for all questions regarding “new” loans and the lending policies of the new successor call Columbia State Bank, and to please contact your branch office.
They continue that shares of American Marine Bank were owned by its holding company, AMB Financial Services Corporation, Bainbridge Island, WA. The holding company was not included in the closing of the bank or the resulting receivership. So if you are a shareholder of AMB Financial Services Corporation, please do not contact or file a claim with the Receiver. You may contact AMB Financial Services Corporation directly for information. How convenient is that….a BK waiting to happen.
The FDIC claims it does offer a reference guide to deposit brokers acting as agents for their investor clientele. This web site outlines the FDIC's policies and procedures that must be followed by deposit brokers when filing for pass-through insurance coverage on custodial accounts deposited in a failed FDIC Insured Institution. Wait a minute here now just slow down. FDIC makes no mention of a lender consumer grievance, and tells us to call the broke parent of the bank. Now are these loans in question considered FDIC troubled assets? Okay, we cannot help you with a predator loan but we will be back to foreclose on you?
My heart is pounding right now and I cannot take anymore folks…..really! But on a more serious note, consider the following. A bad notary signature, broken promise by a “Tender Lender” or forged MERS document is not the argument to bet the house on (no pun intended) It won’t get you to the promised land so can the need for an audit. It won’t get you to the Promised Land, so here is my advice!
SAVE YOUR MONEY! . . . UNLESS YOU WANT TO BORE THE HELL OUT OF A JUDGE AND GET THROWN OUT OF COURT.
It’s time to step up or step down!
