printMortgage theft is alive and well
by kleinbl00
This is a solicitation to commit a felony, to fabricate a mortgage document, presented in such a way that it looks like a fairly routine practice. My suspicion is that these fake assignments allow Residential Credit Solutions to secure properties in deed-in-lieu foreclosures that they would otherwise not be able to do anything with, because they would not have a full chain of title. That’s theft, or foreclosure fraud, if you prefer.
Bill’s experience is that document fabrication continues at the same rate that it ever did. “They can sign settlements, but as long as no one is going to jail, it’s a profitable business venture,” he said. “What I believe is that nobody knows who owns what, so the only thing they can do is recreate chains of title. They’re marching this garbage into our courtrooms on a daily basis.”
Don’t hold your breath expecting anything to come of this; state and federal law enforcement washed their hands of foreclosure fraud long ago. But we should recognize that it continues unabated.
