Homeowners and lawyers including Roy Oppenheim say overwhelmed lenders and judges are rubber-stamping foreclosures, overlooking major problems and compromising the defendants’ rights to due process.

In a recent interview with Sun Sentinel’s Real Estate Writer Paul Owers, Roy Oppenheim and Geoff Sherman shared a recent case of improper foreclosure.

“This case is a symbol of the crisis,” said Oppenheim, whose Weston, Florida law firm is representing the Kachkos. “It’s a system that’s run amok. All the rules of civil procedure are being flushed down the toilet.”

Another One Bites the Dust: Bank Loses Summary Judgment For Foreclosure

RoyOppenheim — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:35:34 +0000

Unbelievable: Attorney Geoff Sherman of Oppenheim Law just got a bank’s foreclosure summary judgment denied!

Why: because the Bank said they had lost the note when they filed the original complaint, yet 16 days after they filed the complaint in March they had received an assignment of the mortgage and Note from the old lender.

Thus, when the new bank had filed the original complaint they: (A) Did not have the note and mortgage to lose; and, (B) Lied to the Court when they said they lost the note! In fact, the new Bank brought the note to the hearing! Judge said too little too late. DENIED!

SO EVEN IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND ANY OF THIS: THE UPSHOT IS THE HOMEOWNER GETS TO STAY IN HIS HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS and then some!
