One of the most creative defenses of foreclosure lawsuit which has surfaced during the past one year has been that of the defenses requesting for the bank that is foreclosing to prove it also owns the note of mortgage and also has the standing on which he can sue the homeowners. Banks generally do not produce any original note in the majority of the foreclosure actions; instead they rely on ignorance of the homeowners not trying to challenge any of the banks positions.
Consider the type of lending as well as the investigating that was followed during the years for the mortgage industry that was subprime, many of the loans that were given were sliced up into many pieces and were sold piece by piece. It was packaged into different types like mortgage backed securities which was sold to many hedge funds, other investors and pension funds. As a matter of fact, the mortgage companies which are being started these days may now run the risk of being completely out of the business. This is because of the fall of many subprime industries which claimed about over 250 lenders till date.These loans found its origin by a company which is now not in business. It was then sliced up into different parts and the rights of various parts to mortgage were sold to many other companies. But for the bank to order to sue in foreclosing, the bank that is initiating the law suit should have been assigned rights to the mortgage. The investors in most of mortgage backed securities were not even given ownership in any of the specific property for unless and until any of the homeowners may fall behind on their payments. They have been simply bundled up as a huge pool of the mortgages that have no specific owners by any particular note.
Therefore the companies which have invested in any of these mortgaged securities were not any parties to any of the original transactions. They have never participated in a direct manner in any of the origin of mortgage or any of its subsequent sales. The investors are just assigned to the particular mortgages only after the fact. In reality, there was no real sale of security to any of the investors. The banks and the investors cannot prove in any way that there were assigned any particular mortgage whose damage they are as of now suffering.
These companies are now presuming that they will be successful in suing homeowners for the foreclosure. These companies did everything which they could, to draw the people into many of the fraudulent loans and also to limit their own. The banks are now realizing that all the shenanigans have insulated them against providing any actual ownership for the loan. The lenders rely upon the ignorance of any of these homeowners in foreclosing anyway. However, this is the type of defense which they are turning to for a majority of the foreclosure cases.
