Background of Investigation
Client has now engaged the services of Endless Fraud Detection Services, Corp. in conjunction with Watchful Eye Investigations to conduct a Private Investigation into the matters surrounding the documentation currently on file in the Public Record of the County/Parish in where the subject property is located that includes, but is not limited to an examination of; Signatures, Seals, and Expiration Dates found on documents publicly recorded. An Investigator with a background in Law Enforcement can then determine if there have been any potential criminal acts committed by any parties in connection with drafting, gathering, verifying, or recording documentation regarding a mortgage or title to real property. In every jurisdiction of all 50 states of the union it is a crime to offer fraudulent documents for the purpose of public recording. Since 1999 over 100 Million titles in the continental United States have been clouded by Title Companies, Trustees, Attorneys, and other entities by drafting fraudulent documents by means of, but in no way limited to; Forgery, Factual Misrepresentations, and Civil Torts and then causing to have these documents recorded into the public record. Furthermore the filing of said documents has seriously compromised the integrity of the public trust including, but not limited to the Countys/Parishs Public Records Office and the Courts Records as well. The overall objective of this investigation is to examine the issues surrounding a particular mortgage and subsequent foreclosure according to the documentation filed into the public recorders office currently available at the time of this investigation. The general scope of this investigation includes, but may not be limited to the following;
Perform background checks on individuals signing documentation offered for public recording. Perform background checks on the Notary/s verifying any of said documents. Examination of signatures of any individuals signing documents offered for public recordation. Examination of Notary Seals in order to determine if the seal is a true seal of said Notary. Examine the expiration date of any Notary seal for the purpose of determining that the Notarys commission was current at the time of verification. Attempt to determine if a trust relationship was established.
Identify any potential criminal acts that may have been committed by any of the parties subject to the investigation.

If the transferee is given the deed of trust without the note accompanying it, the transferee has no meaningful rights except the possibility of legal action to compel the transferor to transfer the note as well, if such was the agreement. (Kelley v. Upshaw 91952) 39 C.2d 179, 246 P.2d 23; Polhemus v.

Currently in Texas, Dallas County filed suit against MERS and other parties on September 20th, 2011 in the case of DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS vs. MERSCORP. INC., MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., STEWART TITLE GUARANTY COMPANY;STEWART TITLE COMPANY; BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION; AND ASPIRE FINANCIAL, INC. D/B/A TEXASLENDING.COM. This case shows the Cause No. CC-11-06571-E. In this suit on page nine (9), under the heading, The Public Recording System the complaint states as follows; Mortgage recordation in Texas is generally governed by Chapter 12 of the Texas Property Code. Section 12.001 of the Property Code provides, in part, that [a]n instrument concerning real or personal property may be recorded if it has been acknowledged, sworn to with a proper jurat, or proved according to law. Once properly filed, a mortgage is notice to all persons of the existence of the instrument, protects the mortgagees (lenders) security interest against creditors of the mortgagor, and places subsequent

ENDLESS FRAUD DETECTION SERVICES, CORP. purchasers on notice that the property is encumbered by a mortgage lien. Unless the mortgage is recorded, the mortgage or deed of trust is void as to a creditor or to a subsequent purchaser for a valuable consideration without notice. See Texas Property Code 13.001(a). Until recently, when a loan secured by a mortgage was sold, the assignee would generally record the assignment of the mortgage to perfect the security interest. If a servicing company served the loan and the servicing rights were sold an event that could occur during the life of a single mortgage loan multiple assignments were recorded to ensure that the proper mortgagee appeared in the land records of the County Clerks office. With some nuances and allowances for needs of modern financing, this model has been followed throughout the U.S. for over three hundred years to provide the public with notice of the ownership of, and liens encumbering, real property throughout the U.S.. Defendants and others similarly situated have changed all of this and collapsed the public recordation system in Dallas County and throughout the U.S. The MERS business plan, as envisioned and implemented by Wall Street, is based in large part on amending the traditional model of recording security interests in real property and introducing a third party into the equation MERS. The motivation for creating MERS was Wall Streets desire to alleviate what Wall Street considered to be the inconvenience of the public recording system and create its own private shadow electronic recording system the MERS System. According to one court, the MERS system was designed as a replacement for our traditional system of public recordation of mortgages. See: In Re Agard, 444BR 231, 247 (E.D.N.Y. 2011). Furthermore, recently in his memorandum decision, United States Bankruptcy Judge Robert Grossman ruled in the case styled, UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK In re: FERRELL AGARD Debtor, showing the case number 810-77338-reg that MERS's business practices are unlawful. He explicitly acknowledged that this ruling sets a precedent that has far-reaching implications for half of the mortgages in this country.
A Background check was conducted on BAC HOME LOANS SERVICING. It should also be noted that BAC HOME LOANS SERVICING has been named in 2,130 lawsuits as a Defendant.

On March 7th, 2012 Reuters reported that Bank of America and its subsidiary company BAC Homes Loans Servicing LP, had defrauded countless homeowners and the Federal Governments Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). The article states;

ENDLESS FRAUD DETECTION SERVICES, CORP. While working at Urban Lending, Mackler said he saw BofA and its loan servicing subsidiary, BAC Homes Loans Servicing LP, implement "business practices designed to intentionally prevent scores of eligible homeowners from becoming eligible or staying eligible for permanent HAMP modification." The article stated further; BoA let through just enough HAMP modifications to avert suspicion and allay congressional critics, while not enough to incur any substantial losses to its own bottom line, according to the complaint.
Signing a Document under a title that the individual does not actually hold is a potential State Felony and brings into question whether this individual did in fact have the authority to transfer or assign anything as MERS is assigning ONLY the Deed of trust to BANK OF AMERICA. Assignment of Mortgage documents were found with very different Luis Roldan signatures than that found on the Kinley Assignment of Deed of Trust. The differences in these signatures suggest that different individuals are signing mortgage-related documents using the name Luis Roldan and raise questions as to the validity of the Kinley Assignment of Deed of Trust. A handwriting expert may be required to verify these signature findings. Copies of documents with these differing signatures can be found in Exhibit B. #1.2: A Background check was conducted on the notary on the ASSIGNMENT OF DEED OF TRUST, Carol Marie Littleford. Carol Marie Littleford is listed on the Californis Secretary of State website (www.sos.ca.gov) as a notary at 10022 Delco Ave., Chattsworth CA 91311. The expiration date on the Kinley Assignment of Deed of Trust matches the California record.

ENDLESS FRAUD DETECTION SERVICES, CORP. Upon magnification, the document execution date of the Kinley Assignment of Deed of Trust appears to have been altered. The date stamp showing the date Luis Roldan signed the document appears to have been altered by obscuring the top of the number 7 to make it appear to be a 1, changing the apparent date from October 27 to October 21. If so, the true date of the Luis Roldan signature is later than the notary date of 21 October, suggesting the Carol Marie Litteford notarized the document in blank for later signature by Luis Roldan. This potential violation of her notary duties suggests the document may be invalid. A document fraud examiner would be needed to confirm these findings.

The fact that the foreclosure process is under review after the fact of the foreclosure raises questions as to whether Bank of America has acted in good faith in assessing mortgage irregularity issues raised by the Kinleys.

Background of Investigation
ENDLESS FRAUD DETECTION SERVICES CORP. IS A TEXAS STATE LICENSED PRIVATE INVESTIGATION COMPANY. LICENSE No. A-17660 Client has now engaged the services of Endless Fraud Detection Services, Corp. to conduct a Chain of Title Investigation in conjunction with American Patriot Investigations, that includes but is not limited to a Public Records search and Forensic Loan Audit. The investigator is to then attempt to establish a clear chain of endorsements consequently establishing whether the title is free of any cloud around such title by identifying the Real Party in Interest. This is tantamount to establishing a Chain of Custody which refers to the chronological documentation or paper trail (endorsements, assignments and or any allonges) showing the seizure, custody, control, transfer, analysis, and disposition of the title of this property. A Chain of Title Investigation is an attempt to establish a clear and unbroken chronological record of the ownership for a specific piece of property for the current owner. This investigation attempts to establish or trace the successive conveyances of title or endorsements, starting with the current Deed and going forward through the securitization process. Each owner is linked to the previous owner and the subsequent owner through transfers and endorsements, forming a chain of title as disclosed through various public and private databases. A gap in the chain of title creates a break in the strength of this chain (referred to as a cloud on the title) which creates uncertainty putting the property owner at a potential disadvantage as they may not qualify for title insurance to sell the home. Over 100 Million homes were securitized and introduced as investments vehicles into the market place over the last 10 years with the Gramm, Leach, Bliley Act, also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999. The passing of said Act repealed the Glass-Steagall Act, also known as the Banking Act of 1933. To quickly help the reader understand this better the Securitization of home loans is the pooling and selling of the cash flow from thousands of mortgages. Mortgages are pooled into an entity, often referred to as a Special Purpose Vehicle or Trust in order to separate them from the banks who originally lent the money. The structures of these transactions are governed by State and Federal Rules and Regulations as well as the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is the primary contractual document between all parties involving the transfer of specific home loans from the Originator, Servicer and ultimately to the specific Trust. The general language in a Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides for the following: Regarding an unbroken chain of endorsements:
In connection with such sale, the Depositor has delivered to, and deposited with, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned: (i) the original Mortgage Note, including any riders thereto, endorsed without recourse (A) in blank or to the order of bank or (B) in the case of a loan registered on the MERS system, in blank, and in each case showing an unbroken chain of endorsements from the original payee thereof to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee The Trusts are required to have an unbroken chain of endorsements from the original payee to the person endorsing it to

MERS
MERS was created to eliminate the need for the executing and recording of assignment of mortgages, with the idea that MERS would be the mortgagee of record. This would allow MERS to foreclose on the property and/or to transfer and assign notes and mortgages/deeds of trust, and at the same time, assist the lenders in avoiding the recording of the Assignments of Beneficiary on loans sold. This saved the lenders money in manpower and the costs of recording these notes, but also comes at a cost of millions of dollars annually to local county recording offices. MERS was also designed to shield investors from liability as a result of lender misconduct regarding the process of mortgage lending. MERS is simply an artificial entity essentially nothing more than a computer - designed to circumvent certain laws and legal requirements dealing with mortgage loans. By designating certain member employees to be MERS corporate officers, MERS has created a situation whereby the foreclosing agencies and MERS' designated officers stand at conflict of interest because, as MERS itself admits and as courts across our nation have recognized, the MERS officers are not actually employees of MERS, but are employees and/or agents of the foreclosing agency. Numerous courts across our nation recognize and agree that employees/agents of servicers executing assignments/transfers of notes is both illegal and ineffective. MERS' involvement in transfers and assignments of notes creates a situation where notes that are purportedly transferred and assigned by MERS were never endorsed and never transferred and assigned to MERS by any party with actual rights to transfer and assign the notes to MERS. In these transactions, (1) MERS is not a party to and did not participate in negotiation of the notes, and (2) neither the notes, nor the mortgages/deeds of trust commonly transferred and assigned along with the notes, give MERS any power to affect the note, to benefit from it or to recognize any value in/from it. Further, in such transfer and assignment transactions, the notes are separated from the mortgages/deeds of trust, which numerous courts across our nation agree is a situation (bifurcation) that renders the debt unsecured and the security instrument (mortgage/deed of trust) void and unenforceable. In addition to all of this, the documents necessary to affect these purported transfer and assignment transactions are executed by employees of the would-be assignees/transferees, who sign as MERS officers, who are often not in the presence of any notary, and who in many cases
Copyright 2012 No part of this report may be reproduced without the expressed written permission of Endless Fraud Detection Services or the Investigator. Page | 29 of 90
Endless Fraud Detection Corp sign multiple names on multiple documents and/or execute several hundred documents per day. When an assignment/transfer of a note is executed, it is the transferee/assignee that goes to the website, downloads the necessary forms, completes the forms and then takes it to the designated MERS officer (who is actually an agent/employee of the transferee/assignee) to sign. What's even worse is that a great many foreclosure actions have been brought in the name of MERS throughout the country. MERS admits and numerous courts across our nation recognize and agree that MERS does not acquire any beneficial interest whatsoever in notes, does not acquire physical possession of notes, cannot transfer beneficial interest in notes, and does not receive any income from any payments on notes. MERS agreements state, and MERS has represented in courts, that MERS and the Member [the MERS customer whose agents/employees act as MERS officers] agree that: (i) the MERS System is not a vehicle for creating or transferring beneficial interest in mortgage loans, and (ii) transfer of servicing interests reflecting on MERS System are subject to the consent of the [true] beneficial owner. It has been recognized in various courts that MERS is not an economic beneficiary despite being named as such in mortgages/deeds of trust. The lender or other holder of the note does not indorse the note to MERS, nor does it transfer and assign the note to MERS, but simply registers the loan on MERS. Thereafter, all sales or assignments of the mortgage loan are accomplished electronically under the MERS system, purportedly in the name of MERS by the above-described MERS officers. MERS does not record a transfer/assignment of a primary market note in the in local land records as required by law until the foreclosure process starts and the Notice of Default has been filed, and apparently so only when it appears that the borrower will not be able to reinstate the loan and foreclosure is inevitable. MERS maintains itself as the beneficiary throughout the entire process, right up to foreclosure. On the secondary market side, assignments and transfers of securitized notes with which MERS is purportedly involved are required to be recorded in local land records by the terms of the Trusts into which the notes are securitized; however, this almost never happens and thus even further obfuscates chain of title whereby real parties in interest could otherwise be easily determined.

Summary of potential consumer protection laws violated during the origination of the Note Attached* to this Deed of Trust; Senior Certified Forensic Loan Auditor
As per the Forensic Loan Underwriting Audit were State and Federal Laws, statutes and or codes followed regarding the creation of a perfected lien status? Underwriting TILA APR Tolerance Test TILA Finance Charge Test TILA Right of Rescission Predatory Indicators Fraud* Securitization FORENSIC REPORT SUMMARY Total Potential TILA Violations: 11 (See Securitization Audit pages) Total Potential RESPA Violations: 3 (See Securitization Audit page) Total Predatory Lending Violations: 13 (See Securitization Audit pages)
*Note in some instances the Note and Deed of Trust may have been separated and thus bifurcation may have accord according to case law!
Consumer protection laws are a form of government regulation which aims to protect the rights of all consumers. Federal Laws and many States as well require that the Note be originated in complete compliance with these laws, rules and regulations in order to assert a lawful claim. This is to insure that overly complicated loans did not take advantage of unsophisticated borrower/ consumers.
TITLE 15 > CHAPTER 41 > SUBCHAPTER I > Part A > 1601 illustrates this perfectly! 1601. Congressional findings and declaration of purpose (a) Informed use of credit The Congress finds that economic stabilization would be enhanced and the competition among the various financial institutions and other firms engaged in the extension of consumer credit would be strengthened by the informed use of credit. The informed use of credit results from an awareness of the cost thereof by consumers. It is the purpose of this subchapter to assure a meaningful disclosure of credit terms so that the consumer will be able to compare more readily the various credit terms available to him and avoid the uninformed use of credit, and to protect the consumer against inaccurate and unfair credit billing and credit card practices.
The integrity and strength of a claim made by a Deed of Trust may become suspect if the Note to which it secures violates the most basic intent of these Consumer Protection Laws passed by congress in its origination phase. U.S. Supreme Court; Carpenter v. Longan, 83 U.S. 16 Wall. 271 271 (1872)

DEPOSITOR MERRILL LYNCH MORTGAGE LENDING, INC. SPONSOR ASSIGNMENT OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS Under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor will sell the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor. Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor will make certain representations, warranties and covenants relating to, among other things, certain characteristics of the Mortgage Loans. The Sponsor will represent that no Mortgage Loan is subject to the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or is a "high cost" or "predatory" loan under any applicable state or local law applicable to the originator of such Mortgage Loan. The Sponsor also will represent that each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, including but not limited to, all applicable predatory or abusive lending laws. Such representations and warranties will be assigned by the Depositor to the Issuing Entity. Subject to the limitations described below, the Sponsor will be obligated as described herein to purchase or substitute a similar mortgage loan for any Mortgage Loan as to which there exists deficient documentation or as to which there has been an uncured breach of any such representation or warranty relating to the characteristics of such Mortgage Loan that materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan (a "DEFECTIVE MORTGAGE LOAN"). See "Description of the Agreements--Representations and Warranties; Repurchases" in the accompanying prospectus (the "PROSPECTUS"). The obligations of the Sponsor with respect to the Certificates are limited to the Sponsor's obligations to purchase or substitute for Defective Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Depositor will sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without recourse to the Issuing Entity all of its rights to the Mortgage Loans and its rights under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (including the right to enforce the Sponsor's repurchase obligations). In addition, the Depositor will assign to the Issuing Entity certain of its rights with regards to the Servicing Agreements. In connection with such transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or its custodian, among other things, the original promissory note (the "MORTGAGE NOTE") (and any modification or amendment thereto) endorsed in blank without recourse, the original instrument creating a first lien on the related Mortgaged Property (the "MORTGAGE") with evidence of recording indicated thereon, an assignment in recordable form of the Mortgage, the title policy with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and, if applicable, all recorded intervening assignments of the Mortgage and any riders or modifications to such Mortgage Note and Mortgage (except for any such document other than Mortgage Notes not available on the Closing Date, which will be delivered to the Trustee or its custodian as soon as the same is available to the Depositor) (collectively, the "MORTGAGE FILE"). Assignments of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee (or its nominee) will be recorded in the appropriate public office for real property records, except in states where, in the opinion of counsel, delivered at the request and at the expense of the Depositor on the Closing Date, such recording is

Endless Fraud Detection Corp not required to protect the Trustee's interest in the Mortgage Loans against the claim of any subsequent transferee or any successor to or creditor of the Depositor. The Trustee or its custodian will review each Mortgage File within 270 days of the Closing Date (or promptly after the Trustee's or its custodian's receipt of any document permitted to be delivered after the Closing Date) and will hold such Mortgage Files in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If at the end of such 270-day period, any document in a Mortgage File is found to be missing or defective in a material respect and the Sponsor does not cure such omission or defect within 90 days after its receipt of notice from the Trustee or its custodian, then the Sponsor is obligated to purchase the related Defective Mortgage Loan from the Issuing Entity at a price equal to the sum of (a) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance thereof, (b) unpaid accrued interest thereon from the Due Date to which interest was last paid by the mortgagor to the Due Date immediately preceding the repurchase and (c) any unreimbursed Monthly Advances and servicing advances not included in clauses (a) and (b) above. Rather than purchase a Defective Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Sponsor may remove such Mortgage Loan (a "DELETED MORTGAGE LOAN") from the Mortgage Pool and substitute in its place one or more mortgage loans of like kind (such loan, a "REPLACEMENT MORTGAGE LOAN"); provided, however, that such substitution is permitted only within two years after the Closing Date and may not be made unless an opinion of counsel is provided to the effect that such substitution would not disqualify any of the REMICs or result in a prohibited transaction tax under the Code. Any Replacement Mortgage Loan generally will, on the date of substitution, as confirmed by a certificate delivered by the Sponsor to the Trustee, among other characteristics set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (i) have an outstanding principal balance, after deduction of all scheduled payments due in the month of substitution, not in excess (and not less than 90%) of the Stated Principal Balance of the Deleted Mortgage Loan (the amount of any shortfall to be deposited in the Distribution Account not later than the succeeding Determination Date and held for distribution to the Certificateholders on the related Distribution Date), (ii) have a maximum Mortgage Rate not less than (and not more than two percentage points greater than) the maximum mortgage rate of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (iii) have a gross margin not less than that of the Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if Mortgage Loans equal to 1% or more of the Cut-off Date principal balance of the Mortgage Pool have become Deleted Mortgage Loans, not more than two percentage points more than that of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (iv) have a Loan-to-Value Ratio not higher than that of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (v) have a remaining term to maturity not greater than (and not more than one year less than) that of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (vi) not permit conversion of the related Mortgage Rate to a permanent fixed Mortgage Rate, (vii) have the same or higher credit score, (viii) have an initial interest adjustment date no earlier than five months before (and no later than five months after) the initial interest adjustment date of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (ix) be a "qualified replacement mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4) of the Code and (x) comply with all of the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. For each Distribution Date, the "DETERMINATION DATE" will be the determination date as defined in the related Servicing Agreement. This cure, repurchase or substitution obligation constitutes the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee for omission of, or a material defect in, a Mortgage File. 424B5 http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1416072/000095012307014789/y41337e424b5.txt

The creation of MERS changed the lending process. Instead of the lender being the Beneficiary on the MORTGAGE, MERS was now named as either the Beneficiary or the Nominee for the Beneficiary on the MORTGAGE. The concept was that with MERS assuming this role, there would be no need for Assignments of the MORTGAGE, since MERS would be given the power of sale through the MORTGAGE.
Copyright 2012 No part of this report may be reproduced without the expressed written permission of Endless Fraud Detection Services or the Investigator. Page | 45 of 90
Endless Fraud Detection Corp The naming of MERS as the Beneficiary meant that certain other procedures had to change. This was a result of the Note actually being made out to the lender, and not to MERS. Before explaining this change, it would be wise to explain the Securitization process. As mentioned previously, Securitization and MERS required many changes in established practices. These practices were not and have not been codified, so they are major points of contention today. One of the first issues to be addressed was how MERS might foreclose on a property. This was solved through an unusual practice.
MERS has only 44 employees. They are all overhead, administrative or legal personnel. How could they handle the load of foreclosures, Assignments, etc to be expected of a company with their duties and obligations? When a lender, title company, foreclosure company or other firm signed up to become a member of MERS, one or more of their people were designated as Corporate Officers of MERS and given the title of either Assistant Secretary or Vice President. These personnel were not employed by MERS, nor received income from MERS. They were been named Officers solely for the purpose of signing foreclosure and other legal documents in the name of MERS. (Apparently, there are some agreements which authorize these people to act in an Agency manner for MERS.)
This solved the issue of not having enough personnel to conduct necessary actions. It would be the Servicers, Trustees and Title Companies conducting the day-to-day operations needed for MERS to function. As well, it was thought that this would provide MERS and their Corporate Officers with the legal standing to foreclose. However, this brought up another issue that now needed addressing:
When a Note is transferred, it must be endorsed and signed, in the manner of a person signing his paycheck over to another party. Customary procedure was to endorse it as Pay to the Order of and the name of the party taking the Note and then signed by the endorsing party. With a new party holding the Note, there would now need to be an Assignment of the Debt. This could not work if MERS was to be the foreclosing party.
The promissory note was made payable to COUNTRYWIDE BANK, FSB. No record document suggests that it has been indorsed to MERS or any other named entity Once a name is placed into the endorsement of the Note, then that person has the beneficial interest in the Note. Any attempt by MERS to foreclose in the MERS name would result in a challenge to the foreclosure since the Note was owned by ABC and MERS was the Beneficiary. MERS would not have the legal standing to foreclose, since only the person of interest would have such authority. So, it was decided that the Note would be endorsed in blank, which effectively made the Note a Bearer Bond, and anyone holding the Note would have the legal standing to enforce the Note under Uniform Commercial Code. This would also suggest that Assignments would not be necessary.

Endless Fraud Detection Corp MERS has recognized the Note Endorsement problem and on their website, stated that they could be the foreclosing party only if the Note was endorsed in blank. If it was endorsed to another party, then that party would be the foreclosing party. The question now becomes as to whether a Note Endorsed in Blank and transferred to different entities as indicated previously does allow for foreclosure. If MERS is the foreclosing authority but has no entitlement to payment of the money, how could they foreclose? This is especially true if the true beneficiary is not known. Why raise the question of who the true beneficiary is? Again, from the MERS website..
On MERS loans, MERS will show as the beneficiary of record. Foreclosures should be commenced in the name of MERS. To effectuate this process, MERS has allowed each servicer to choose a select number of its own employees to act as officers for MERS. Through this process, appropriate documents may be executed at the servicers site on behalf of MERS by the same servicing employee that signs foreclosure documents for nonMERS loans. Until the time of sale, the foreclosure is handled in same manner as nonMERS foreclosures. At the time of sale, if the property reverts, the Trustees MORTGAGE Upon Sale will follow a different procedure. Since MERS acts as nominee for the true beneficiary, it is important that the Trustees MORTGAGE Upon Sale be made in the name of the true beneficiary and not MERS. Your title company or MERS officer can easily determine the true beneficiary. Title companies have indicated that they will insure subsequent title when these procedures are followed.
There, you have it. Direct from the MERS website. They admit that they name people to sign documents in the name of MERS. Often, these are Title Company employees or others that have no knowledge of the actual loan and whether it is in default or not. Even worse, MERS admits that they are not the true beneficiary of the loan. In fact, it is likely that MERS has no knowledge of the true beneficiary of the loan for whom they are representing in an Agency relationship. They admit to this when they say Your title company or MERS officer can easily determine the true beneficiary. To further reinforce that MERS is not the true beneficiary of the loan, one need only look at the following Nevada Bankruptcy case, Hawkins, Case No. BK-S-07-13593-LBR (Bankr.Nev. 3/31/2009) (Bankr.Nev., 2009) A beneficiary is defined as one designated to benefit from an appointment, disposition, or assignment . . . or to receive something as a result of a legal arrangement or instrument. BLACKS LAW DICTIONARY 165 (8th ed. 2004). But it is obvious from the MERS Terms and Conditions that MERS is not a beneficiary as it has no rights whatsoever to any payments, to any servicing rights, or to any of the properties secured by the loans. To reverse an old adage, if it doesnt walk like a duck, talk like a duck, and quack like a duck, then its not a duck. In the case of MERS, the Note and the MORTGAGE are held by separate entities. This can pose a unique problem dependent upon the court. There are many court rulings based upon the following: The MORTGAGE is a mere incident of the debt it secures and an assignment of the debt carries with it the security instrument. Therefore, a MORTGAGE is inseparable from the debt and always abides with the debt. It has no market or ascertainable value apart from the obligation it secures.

Endless Fraud Detection Corp A MORTGAGE has no assignable quality independent of the debt, it may not be assigned or transferred apart from the debt, and an attempt to assign the MORTGAGE without a transfer of the debt is without effect. This very simple statement poses major issues. To easily understand, if the MORTGAGE and the Note are not together with the same entity, then there can be no enforcement of the Note. The MORTGAGE enforces the Note. It provides the capability for the lender to foreclose on a property. If the MORTGAGE is separate from the Note, then enforcement, i.e. foreclosure cannot occur. The following ruling summarizes this nicely. In Saxon vs Hillery, Dec 2008, Contra Costa County Superior Court, an action by Saxon to foreclose on a property by lawsuit was dismissed due to lack of legal standing. This was because the Note and the MORTGAGE were owned by separate entities. The Court ruled that when the Note and MORTGAGE were separated, the enforceability of the Note was negated until rejoined. The mortgage securing the note, while naming COUNTRYWIDE BANK, FSB as Lender, separately names the Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS) as the Mortgagee. The conveyancing language granted the mortgage to MERS solely as nominee for Lender and Lenders successors and assigns. COUNTRYWIDE BANK, FSB was a correspondent lender that originated mortgage loans which in turn, was sold and transferred into a federally-approved securitization trust named MERRILL LYNCH ALTERNATIVE NOTE ASSET TRUST, SERIES 2007-OAR5. The Note and MORTGAGE have taken two distinctly different paths. The Note was securitized into MERRILL LYNCH ALTERNATIVE NOTE ASSET TRUST, SERIES 2007-OAR5. The written agreement that created the MERRILL LYNCH ALTERNATIVE NOTE ASSET TRUST, SERIES 2007-OAR5 is a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (PSA), and is a matter of public record, available on the website of the Securities Exchange Commission. The Trust is also described in a Prospectus Supplement, also available on the SEC website. The Trust by its terms set a CLOSING DATE of OCTOBER 31, 2007. The promissory note in this case became trust property in compliance with the requirement set forth in the PSA. The Trust agreement is filed under oath with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The acquisition of the assets of the subject Trust and the PSA are governed under the law. In view of the foregoing, all Assignment of MORTGAGE executed after the Trusts Closing Date would be a void act for the reason that it violated the express terms of the Trust instrument. The loan was originally made to COUNTRYWIDE BANK, FSB and was sold and transferred to MERRILL LYNCH ALTERNATIVE NOTE ASSET TRUST, SERIES 2007-OAR5. There is no record of Assignments to either the Sponsor or Depositor as required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In Carpenter v. Longan 16 Wall. 271,83 U.S. 271, 274, 21 L.Ed. 313 (1872), the U.S. Supreme Court stated The note and mortgage are inseparable; the former as essential, the latter as an incident. An assignment of the note carries the mortgage with it, while assignment of the latter alone is a nullity.

Endless Fraud Detection Corp An obligation can exist with or without security. With no security, the obligation is unsecured but still valid. A security interest, however, cannot exist without an underlying existing obligation. It is impossible to define security apart from its relationship to the promise or obligation it secures. The obligation and the security are commonly drafted as separate documents typically a promissory note and a MORTGAGE. If the creditor transfers the note but not the MORTGAGE, the transferee receives a secured note; the security follows the note, legally if not physically. If the transferee is given the MORTGAGE without the note accompanying it, the transferee has no meaningful rights except the possibility of legal action to compel the transferor to transfer the note as well, if such was the agreement. (Kelley v. Upshaw 91952) 39 C.2d 179, 246 P.2d 23; Polhemus v. Trainer (1866) 30C 685) Where the mortgagee has transferred only the mortgage, the transaction is a nullity and his assignee having received no interest in the underlying debt or obligation, has a worthless piece of paper (4 Richard R. Powell), Powell on Real Property, 37.27 [2] (2000) By statute, assignment of the mortgage carries with it the assignment of the debt. . . Indeed, in the event that a mortgage loan somehow separates interests of the note and the MORTGAGE, with the MORTGAGE lying with some independent entity, the mortgage may become unenforceable. The practical effect of splitting the MORTGAGE from the promissory note is to make it impossible for the holder of the note to foreclose, unless the holder of the MORTGAGE is the agent of the holder of the note. Without the agency relationship, the person holding only the note lacks the power to foreclose in the event of default. The person holding only the MORTGAGE will never experience default because only the holder of the note is entitled to payment of the underlying obligation. The mortgage loan becomes ineffectual when the note holder did not also hold the MORTGAGE.

*(Probability of Violations Ratings: No Evidence or Possible)
Forensic Loan Summary: The borrowers were approved for a 1st loan in the amount of $283,200.00 and a 2nd in the amount of $15,000.00. The transactions were refinances for they closed concurrently. The CLTV (Combined Loan to Value) is 84.24%. When the 1st loan reaches the cap of 115% which is a principal balance of $325,680.00 the CLTV will then be 96.24%. Now the lender has created a condition whereas if the property value depreciates then the obligation becomes greater than the property value! The 1st loan is a Payment Advantage 5/1 ARM with Negative Amortization. It is tied to the 1 Year LIBOR. The interest rate is 7.875% with a monthly payment of $1,174.98. The interest rate can adjust after 5 years to an interest rate of not greater than 12.875% or less than 2.25% for the first payment. The interest rate can adjust annually thereafter at no more than 2.0% for each subsequent adjustment. The floor or minimum interest rate is 2.25% and the cap or maximum interest rate is 12.875%. The borrower can make 4 different loan payments, 1.) Minimum payment, the payment is not sufficient to pay for all the interest that is due, therefore the principal balance will increase up to 115% of the initial loan balance, 2.) Interest only, the payment is sufficient to pay only the interest therefore; the principal balance remains the same, 3.) Fully Amortized loan, the payment is principal and Interest; therefore the principal balance decrease, 4.) 15 Year amortization, the principal balance will be paid in 15 years. The borrower can make the minimum payment until the recast date of 09/01/2017 or the Maximum Negative Amortization cap of 115%, (principal balance of $325,680.00) has been reached. The minimum payment is calculated by the current index rate minus 5.0%. The minimum payment can never be lower than 1.0%. So in essence the borrowers initial payment of $1,174.98 is based on a 2.875% interest rate. This will create a negative amortization from the very first payment. By month 29 the principal will reach the cap of 115% and now the principal balance has increased by $42,480.00! The borrower now has to pay the principal balance of $325,680.00 with the principal and interest payments of

Endless Fraud Detection Corp $3,624.56! That is EXTREME PAYMENT SHOCK, for that increase is more than TRIPLE!! Predatory Lending -Unfair Business Practices Deceptive Business Acts -are all possible violations of this loan. The borrowers closed a 2nd loan concurrently with the 1st in the amount of $15,000.00. The loan is a HELOC (Home Equity Line Of Credit) and it is an ARM loan for 25years. The index is Prime. The interest rate is 10.0%. The initial payment is $125.00, which is the minimum payment of Interest Only. The loan has a 60 month draw period. It has an automatic renewal for another 60 month draw period. The margin is high at 1.75% for the average margin is 1.0%. The cap or maximum interest rate is 18.0%. The borrower can make the minimum payment during the draw period only. In other words, the principal balance of $15,000.00 will not decrease and remain the same for the first 10 years! The borrowers will pay $15,000.00 for the first 10 years and the not a penny goes toward the loan. When the borrowers have to make the principal and interest payments they now have to pay the loan off in 15 years. The monthly principal and interest payment at the cap or maximum interest rate of 18.0% is $241.56! That payment is almost DOUBLE the amount of the initial the payment of $125.00. PAYMENT SHOCK! Predatory Lending -Unfair Business Practices Deceptive Business Acts -are all possible violations of this loan. There are modification documents in the file including a completed application for HAMP by the borrowers.
The OCC has written several letters of action against the major banks and servicers including Bank of America for the unsafe and unsound Foreclosure Practices. "These comprehensive enforcement actions, coordinated among the federal banking regulators, require major reforms in mortgage servicing operations," said acting Comptroller of the Currency John Walsh. "These reforms will not only fix the problems we found in foreclosure processing, but will also correct failures in governance and the loan modification process and address financial harm to borrowers. Our enforcement actions are intended to fix what is broken, identify and compensate borrowers who suffered financial harm, and ensure a fair and orderly mortgage servicing process going forward." THE HOMEOWNERS ARE A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THE HARMFUL AND WRONGFUL FORECLOSURE AGAINST THEM.

This determination of the ability to repay a loan is based upon employment and income in large measure, which is proved by getting pay stubs, 1040s, W-2s and a Verification of Employment and Income on the borrowers. If an underwriter has evaluated the loan properly, then there should be no question of the ability of the borrower to repay the loan. Debt ratios will have been evaluated, credit reviewed and a proper determination of risk made in relation to the loan amount. Approvals and denials would be made based upon a realistic likelihood of repayment.
Automated Underwriting Systems The underwriters role in approving loans has been delegated to a support role in the past decade. Automated Underwriting Systems became the normal approval method. An underwriter or even a loan officer would simply input the data and the Automated System would give an approval or denial. Any documents requested would be gathered and then loan documents drawn and signed. The real issue with the automated systems is that they were not designed to be the final word in approval. The system approval was designed to be a guide, a preliminary approval and nothing more. After approval was received, the underwriter would then be expected to extensively review the file, closely examining the documents for final approval. DISCUSSION: Borrowers financial status at the time of the loan is taken from the loan application. An analysis of borrowers financial status at the time of the loan reveals the following: The following figures are based on the information stated on the Loan Application and have not been verified.

CONCLUSION: Normal underwriting practices include analysis for a 28/36% debt-to-income ratio
for Conventional loans, 31/43% for FHA loans and 41% for VA loans During 2003 to 2006, subprime lending involved higher DTI ratios, from 33/38% to 38/50%. Lenders underwriting
standard for this loan far exceeded normal underwriting practices for normal and subprime loans. The Lender/Broker has a fiduciary duty not to put the borrower in HARMS WAY and by approving this loan; the Lender/Broker had put him in HARMS WAY!

PREDATORY LOAN INDICATORS Predatory lending is a general term used to describe unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent practices of lenders during the loan origination process. Predatory lending is often a combination of several factors that can only be evaluated in the context of the overall lending transaction. Typically, no single factor can be relied upon to consider it a predatory loan. A large number of agencies and consumer organizations recognize predatory lending, including, for example, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, National Consumer Law Center, Wisconsin Department of Real Estate, Fannie Mae, National Association of Consumer Advocates, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, National Home Equity Mortgage Association, and Center for Responsible Lending. The predatory lending factors present in the subject transaction were found to be as follows:
NO YES
Stated Income/Stated Assets or No Income/No Assets loan program. Mortgage broker and corresponding lender involved. PREMIUM (YSP) Borrower was a minority and/or the transaction was conducted in a foreign language. Loan-to-value ratio above 80%. CLTV 84.24% Debt-to-income ratio above 28/36%. 40.10%, 57.58%, 91.17%, 66.12% Teaser rate involved. 2.875%-1ST, 8.250%-2ND Interest rate on 1st was more than 2 points above: 6.08% (2.77 margin) [average US 5/1 ARM rate] or 6.4% [average 30-year fixed].

Endless Fraud Detection Corp PREDATORY LOAN ANALYSIS Predatory Lending The terms abusive lending or predatory lending are most frequently defined by reference to a variety of lending practices. Although it is generally necessary to consider the totality of the circumstances to assess whether a loan is predatory, a fundamental characteristic of predatory lending is the aggressive marketing of credit to prospective borrowers who simply cannot afford the credit on the terms being offered. While such disregard of basic principles of loan underwriting lies at the heart of predatory lending, a variety of other practices may also accompany the marketing of such credit. Some Predatory Lending practices found in this loan: Targeting -Targeting inappropriate or excessively expensive credit products to older borrowers, to persons who are not financially sophisticated or who may be otherwise vulnerable to abusive practices, and to persons who could qualify for mainstream credit products and terms. Spurious Open End Mortgages -In order to avoid making required disclosures to borrowers under the Truth in Lending Act, many lenders make "open-end" mortgage loans. Although the loans are called "open-end" loans, in fact they are not. Instead of creating a line of credit from which the borrower may withdraw cash when needed, the lender advances the full amount of the loan to the borrower at the outset. The loans are non-amortizing, meaning that the payments are interest only, so that the balance is never reduced. Yield Spread Premium -Does not plainly and prominently disclose on the good faith estimate of closing costs the size of any yield spread premium paid directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, to a mortgage loan officer. Negative Amortization -Loans where the borrower is often told that the payment and rate are actually such that the balance on the loan can increase monthly. See above analysis. Excessive Fees and Rates -Requires borrowers to pay interest rates, fees and/or charges not justified by marketplace economics in place at the time the lien was originated. Loan Flipping & Equity Stripping -Repeated refinancing of borrowers into loans that have no tangible benefit to the borrower and can be the same lender or different ones. Loans and refinances whereby equity is removed from the home through repeated refinances, consolidation of short term debt into long term debt, negative amortization or interest only loans whereby payments are not reducing principle, high fees and interest rates. Eventually, borrower cannot refinance due to lack of equity. Shifting Unsecured Debt into Mortgage -Mortgage lenders badger homeowners with advertisements and solicitations that tout the "benefits" of consolidating bills into a mortgage

Endless Fraud Detection Corp loan. The lender fails to inform the borrower that consolidating unsecured debt such as credit cards and medical bills into a mortgage loan secured by the home is a bad idea. If a person defaults on an unsecured debt, they do not lose their home. If a homeowner rolls their unsecured debt into their mortgage loan and default on their mortgage payments, they can lose their home. Furthermore, since unsecured debt generally is paid off between three and five years, shifting unsecured debt into a mortgage loan extends the payoff period to 15 to 30 years. Paying off unsecured debt with a mortgage loan also necessarily increases closing costs because they are often calculated on a percentage basis, thereby increasing the loan balance. Whereas the old total monthly household debt payments may in some cases be less than the monthly payments on the new mortgage loan, the monthly mortgage payments are often more than the previous mortgage payments, thus exacerbating the risk that the homeowner will lose the home to foreclosure. High Debt Ratios -This is the practice of approving loans with high debt ratios, usually 50% or more, without determining the true ability of the borrower to repay the loan. This can often be seen with Prime borrowers approved through the Automated Underwriting Systems. High Loan to Value Loans - Loans offered to a borrower having little or no equity in the home. Usually adjustable rate mortgages that the borrower will not be able to refinance out of when the rate adjusts due to lack of equity. Fraudulently Caused to Execute Loan Documents -Adjustable rate mortgage loan was an inter-temporal transaction on which Plaintiffs had only qualified at the initial teaser fixed rate, and could not qualify for the loan once the interest rate terms changed in two years. Deception, Fraud, Unconscionable -Is marketed in a way that fails to fully disclose all material terms. Includes any terms or provisions which are unfair, fraudulent or unconscionable. Is marketed in whole or in part on the basis of fraud, exaggeration, misrepresentation or the concealment of a material fact. Includes interest only loans, adjustable rate loans, negative amortization and HOEPA loans. Stated or No Income/No Assets -Is based on a loan application that is inappropriate for the borrower. For instance, the use of a stated-income loan application from an employed individual who has or can obtain pay stubs, W-2 forms and tax returns. Lack of Due Diligence in Underwriting -Is underwritten without due diligence by the party originating the loan. No realistic means test for determining the ability to repay the loan. Lack of documentation of income or assets, job verification. Usually with Stated Income or No documentation loans, but can apply to full documentation loans. Inappropriate Loan Programs -Is materially more expensive in terms of fees, charges and/or interest rates than alternative financing for which the borrower qualifies. Can include prime borrowers who are placed into subprime loans, negative or interest only loans. Loan terms whereby the borrower can never realistically repay the loan. Prepayment Penalty -This loan has a 3 year prepayment penalty where if the borrower makes a partial of full prepayment of more than 20% of the original principal amount in any 12 month period, then the borrower will pay a prepayment penalty of 6 months advance interest on the amount prepaid in excess of 20% of the original principal amount.

Endless Fraud Detection Corp Contractual Interference -By paying the broker a Par Premium or YSP to bring a loan to a lender, and the loan having an interest rate higher than what the borrower could have qualified for, the lender has engaged in a practice of interfering with the Fiduciary Duty of the broker to the borrower. POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL CLAIMS ANALYSIS
(Probability of Violations Ratings: No Evidence or Possible) Note: Federal laws may preempt certain state claims.
Equal Credit Opportunity Act (discrimination) The Equal Credit Opportunity Act provides at Sec. 202.1 Authority, scope and purpose:
Possible
(b) Purpose. The purpose of this regulation is to promote the availability of credit to all creditworthy applicants without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to contract); to the fact that all or part of the applicant's income derives from a public assistance program; or to the fact that the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The regulation prohibits creditor practices that discriminate on the basis of any of these factors. The regulation also requires creditors to notify applicants of action taken on their applications; to report credit history in the names of both spouses on an account; to retain records of credit applications; to collect information about the applicant's race and other personal characteristics in applications for certain dwelling- related loans; and to provide applicants with copies of appraisal reports used in connection with credit transactions. Additionally, at Sec. 202.4 General Rule Prohibiting Discrimination: 1. Scope of section. The general rule stated in Sec. 202.4 covers all dealings, without exception, between an applicant and a creditor, whether or not addressed by other provisions of the regulation. Other sections of the regulation identify specific practices that the Board has decided are impermissible because they could result in credit discrimination on a basis prohibited by the act. The general rule covers, for example, application procedures, criteria used to evaluate creditworthiness, administration of accounts, and treatment of delinquent or slow accounts. Thus, whether or not specifically prohibited elsewhere in the regulation, a credit practice that treats applicants differently on a prohibited basis violates the law because it violates the general rule. Disparate treatment on a prohibited basis is illegal whether or not it results from a conscious intent to discriminate. Disparate treatment would be found, for example, where a creditor requires a minority applicant to provide greater documentation to obtain a loan than a similarly situated nonminority applicant. Disparate treatment also would be found where a creditor waives or relaxes credit standards for a nonminority applicant but not for a similarly situated minority applicant. Treating applicants differently on a prohibited basis is unlawful if the creditor lacks a legitimate nondiscriminatory reason for its action, or

Endless Fraud Detection Corp if the asserted reason is found to be a pretext for discrimination. DISCUSSION: No direct evidence of discrimination, but the loan terms offered by this lender may be less than favorable: recommend investigation into borrowers credit, income etc.
Fraud
Possible
Deceit is defined as one who willfully deceives another with intent to induce him to alter his position to his injury or risk, is liable for any damage which he thereby suffers. Deceit is defined as either of the following: 1.) The suggestion, as a fact, of that which is not true, by one who does not believe it to be true; 2.) The assertion, as a fact of that which is not true, by one who has no reasonable ground for believing it to be true; 3.) The suppression of a fact, by one who is bound to disclose it, or who gives information of other facts which are likely to mislead for want of communication of that fact; or 4.) A promise, made without any intention of performing it. Actual fraud consists in any of the following acts, committed by a party to the contract, or with his connivance, with intent to deceive another party thereto or to induce him to enter into the contract: 1.) The suggestion, as a fact, of that which is not true, by one who does not believe it to be true; 2.) The positive assertion, in a manner not warranted by the information of the person making it, of that which is not true, though he believes it to be true; 3.) The suppression of a fact which is true, by one having knowledge or belief of the fact; 4.) A promise, made without any intention of performing it; or 5.) Any other act fitted to deceive. Constructive fraud is defined as 1.) In any breach of duty which, without an actually fraudulent intent, gains an advantage to the person in fault, or any one claiming under him, by misleading another to his prejudice, or to the prejudice of any one claiming under him; or, 2.) In any such act or omission as the law specially declares to be fraudulent, without respect to actual fraud. A party to a contract may rescind the contract in the following cases: 1. If the consent of the party rescinding, or of any party jointly contracting with him, was given by mistake or obtained through duress, menace, fraud, or undue influence, exercised by or with the (1) Connivance or the party as to whom he rescinds, or of any other party to the contract jointly interested with such party. DISCUSSION: Fraud in the Factum
Copyright 2012 No part of this report may be reproduced without the expressed written permission of Endless Fraud Detection Services or the Investigator. Page | 67 of 90
Endless Fraud Detection Corp Fraud in the Factum is a type of fraud where misrepresentation causes one to enter a transaction without accurately realizing the risks, duties, or obligations incurred. Black's Law Dictionary (2nd Pocket ed. 2001 pg. 293). This can be when the maker or drawer of a negotiable instrument, such as a promissory note or check, is induced to sign the instrument without a reasonable opportunity to learn of its fraudulent character or essential terms. Determination of whether an act constitutes fraud in the factum depends upon consideration of all relevant factors. Fraud in the factum usually voids the instrument under state law and is a real defense against even an holder in due course. Other State/Common Law Claims Possible
Need to evaluate entire mortgage-servicing history for breach of contract QWR RECOMMENDATION. [Statute of Limitations of 4 years, CCP 337 may be subject to equitable tolling.] Breach of Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing The law provides that in every contract, there is an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing between the parties. This implied covenant imposes the requirement that neither party will do anything, which will injure the right of the other to receive the benefits of the agreement. Breach of Fiduciary Duty In certain situations, courts have implicitly recognized imposing fiduciary duties on lenders based on policy grounds. For instance, a lender may be considered a fiduciary when it takes control of the borrower, or when moral, social, personal, or domestic relationships are shown to exist between the parties. (Cases cited in American Bar Association Business Tort Litigation (2d Ed.) Further, when the lender undertakes to perform a task on behalf of the borrower, then it is likely that the lender has made itself a fiduciary for the borrower, based on the law of agency. Often times, when a loan officer or mortgage broker is helping to arrange a loan for a borrower, that loan officer/mortgage broker is, in reality, acting as the agent for both the lender and borrower. The fiduciary duty of the lender is a responsibility to perform their own diligence to determine if a customer is being placed in a loan that is legal, properly disclosed, is the best loan for the consumer given their financial circumstance and affordable over the life of the loan if present financial positions hold steady. If the lender knew or should have known that the Borrower has a likelihood of defaulting on this loan, he/she has a fiduciary duty to the borrower to not place them in that loan (in harms way). When a loan transaction occurs, any missteps in the loan transaction process can lead to dire consequences for the borrower. It is for this reason that the law should impose more liberally a fiduciary relationship between borrower and lender, especially in the residential home loan marketplace where the average borrower is not as sophisticated as the lender. If fiduciary relationships were more liberally imposed, we would likely see lenders implementing more safeguards before underwriting a loan. If the lender is aware that the borrowers would be better off with another type of loan that the lender offers, they have violated their duty to the consumers and such act of deception would be likely be considered fraud on the consumer and predatory. Brokers owe a fiduciary duty to borrowers. Liability potential for lender may exist if borrower can prove either that: (1) a special relationship or circumstance existed ,(2) the lender directly ordered, authorized or participated in the brokers tortious conduct, or (3) that broker acted as lenders agent for the transaction .

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (Fed. & State) The FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692 et seq., a United States statute added in 1978 as Title VIII of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, broadly defines a debt collector as any person who uses any instrumentality of interstate commerce or the mails in any business the principal purpose of which is the collection of any debts, or who regularly collects or attempts to collect, directly or indirectly, debts owed or due or asserted to be owed or due another. The Act prohibits certain types of "abusive and deceptive" conduct when attempting to collect debts.
In re Maxwell, 281 B.R. 101 (Bankr. D. Mass. 2002); Hager v. American Gen. Fin. Inc., 37 F.Supp. 2d 778 (1999). For example, a Connecticut court found a second mortgage contract to be unconscionable based on the facts that: The defendant had limited knowledge of English, was uneducated and did not read very well; The defendants financial situation made it apparent she could not reasonably expect to repay the mortgage; At the closing, the defendant was not represented by an attorney and was rushed by plaintiffs attorney to sign the loan document; The defendant was not informed until the last minute that, as a condition of credit, she was required to pay one years interest in advance and there was an absence of meaningful choice on the part of the defendant; and In addition, the court found that the contract was substantively unconscionable, because it contained a large balloon payment that the borrower had no means of paying, and that the borrower had no reasonable opportunity to understand the terms of the contract.
