YeeHaw !!!!! Alan Grayson Petitions FL Supreme Court - Foreclosures

[dixiegrrrrl]

Grayson, best known for his endless skewering of Ben Bernanke and his henchmen during congressional hearings, has just sent a letter to Justice Canady of the Florida Supreme Court, demanding a halt to all illegal foreclosure activity. GMAC may have dodged the bullet, but the stink that Grayson is about to dig up may end up killing a massive, and illegal, funding loophole for the entire banking industry.

Full letter below:

September 20, 2010

Chief Justice Charles T. Canady
Florida Supreme Court
500 South Duval Street
Tallahassee, FL 32399-1900

Dear Chief Justice Canady,

I am disturbed by the increasing reports of predatory ‘foreclosure mills’ in Florida. The New York Times and Mother Jones have both recently reported on the rampant and widespread practices of document fraud and forgery involved in mortgage assignments. My staff has spoken with multiple foreclosure specialists and attorneys in Florida who confirm these reports.

Three foreclosure mills – the Law Offices of Marshall C. Watson, Shapiro & Fishman, and the Law Offices of David J. Stern – constitute roughly 80% of all foreclosure proceedings in the state of Florida. All are under investigation by Attorney General Bill McCollum. If the reports I am hearing are true, the illegal foreclosures taking place represent the largest seizure of private property ever attempted by banks and government entities. This is lawlessness.

I respectfully request that you abate all foreclosures involving these firms until the Attorney General of the state of Florida has finished his investigations of those firms for document fraud.

I have included a court order, in which Chase, WAMU, and Shapiro and Fishman are excoriated by a judge for document fraud on the court. In this case, Chase attempted to foreclose on a home, when the mortgage note was actually owned by Fannie Mae.

Taking someone’s home should not be done lightly. And it should certainly be done in accordance with the law.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.


Sincerely,

Alan Grayson
Member of Congress

5. Obama should fire Geitner and apologize for Bernanke and every other person he called on for advice.

What Beck and Palin say about this will be interesting. OK, inlcude Limbaugh and Rove and Newt and Grover. They will figure out a way to support the crooks and blame it on Dems.

In the meantime, can the people who were kicked out get to move back in until all the mortgages are traced and the money reattributed so that their notice comes from the real mortgage holder?

What kind of deals are going down the drain. Did the big guys have a raffle? Did they write a little software code that gave then all an equal share of the pot?

How many people have warned us about stuff like this from self admitted crooks.

7. I'd say those who can join a class action suit should

and/or get a lawyer and sue for any unlawful foreclosures.

6. This is lawlessness!

8. Good, but incorrect.

Stern's office and Florida Default Law Group constitute at least 2/3 of the foreclosure market here in Florida. Watson and S&F are much, much smaller.
