In the course and conduct of offering and making HOEPA mortgage loans, the Plaintiffs in numerous instances have violated, and continue to violate, the requirements of HOEPA and Regulation Z by selling or otherwise assigning such loans without furnishing the following notice to the purchaser or assignee:

Notice: This is a mortgage subject to special rules under the federal Truth in Lending Act.  Purchasers or assignees of this mortgage could be liable for all claims and defenses with respect to the mortgage that the borrower could assert against the creditor, in violation of Section 131(d)(4) of TILA, 15 U.S.C. § 1641(d)(4), and Section 226.32(e)(3) of Regulation Z, 12 C.F.R. § 226.32(e)(3).

MISC. FRAUD

“Any false representation of material facts made with knowledge of falsity and with intent that it shall be acted on by another in entering into contract, and which is so acted upon, constitutes ‘fraud,’ and entitles party deceived to avoid contract or recover damages.”Barnsdall Refining Corn. v. Birnam wood Oil Co., 92 F 2d 817. “The contract is void if it is only in part connected with the illegal transaction and the promise single or entire.” Guardian Agency v. Guardian Mutual. Savings Bank, 227 Wis 550, 279 NW 83. Lender Liability 1. Duty of Good Faith In every New Mexico contract there is an implied “duty of good faith and fair dealing upon the parties in the performance and enforcement of the contract.” Paiz v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., 1994-NMSC-079, ¶ 31, 118 N.M. 203, 880 P.2d 300 (internal quotation marks & citation omitted), limited on other grounds, Sloan v. State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co. (In re Sloan), 2004-NMSC-004, 135 N.M. 106, 85 P.3d 230. “The breach of this covenant requires a showing of bad faith or that one party wrongfully and intentionally used the contract to the detriment of the other party.” Id. (internal quotation marks & citation omitted). “[This] implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing requires that neither party do anything that will injure the rights of the other to receive the benefit of their agreement.” Planning & Design Solutions v. City of Santa Fe, 1994-NMSC-112, ¶ 28, 118 N.M. 707, 885 P.2d 628, 635 (internal quotation marks & citation omitted). New Mexico has no reported cases construing the modern definition of “good faith” in Article 1 of the UCC. Compare NMSA 1978, § 55-1-201(b)(20) (2005) (defining “good faith” as “honesty in fact and the observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing”) with NMSA 1978, § 55- 1-201(b)(19) (1992) (defining “good faith” as “honesty in fact in the conduct or transaction concerned”). the "Golden Rule of Mortgage Foreclosures," which is that such foreclosures cannot proceed without production of the original promissory note signed at the closing. Nor will a mere copy of the note suffice. [23]  There could be 100 copies of the original note, but that would not create a right of foreclosure in 100 plaintiffs. To the bank's argument that a copy of the promissory note should be enough, ask any banker if he/she would be willing to accept a copy of check.  There are good practical reasons for the possession requirement. If the maker of the note pays a "person not entitled to enforce," he/she is not discharged from liability on the note, and faces the prospect of having to pay the true owner when that person surfaces with proof of ownership of the note (see §§3-601 and 3-602 above). [24]  Courts must take special care not to expose the maker to such double liability.

Security Follows the Debt;

The common law was clear that the mortgage contract and the mortgage deed are mere security; for the payment of the promissory note (the debt).  It is a common law maxim that “security follows the debt.” [36]  This means the mortgage travels along with the promissory note, and that the note is the important item, not the mortgage itself. Thus whoever has the promissory note is the only entity that can enforce the mortgage. The courts are more or less unanimous on this. [37]  The United States Supreme Court established the basic rule early in the 1873 case of Carpenter v. Longan: [38]  "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 an assignment of the latter alone is a nullity. . . .  The mortgage can have no separate existence. When the note is paid the mortgage expires. It cannot survive for a moment the debt which the note represents.  This dependent and incidental relation is the controlling consideration . . .; A purported assignment of a mortgage to a bank is not proof of a transfer of a promissory note secured by the mortgage, since the mortgage follows the note but not vice versa But the courts won't let someone foreclose just because that someone thinks they are the right entity to do it, or really, really, really wants to foreclose. They have to prove they are a PETE b clear evidence. Wishing that they had that evidence is not enough. Indeed, as discussed above, if the buyer pays the wrong person, he/she still owes the debt See Bank of New York v. Romero, 302 P.3d 1 (N.M. 2014); 255 P.3d at 1275; In re David A. Simpson, P.C., 711 S.E.2d 165 (N.C.App. 2011); Schwartzwald, 194 Ohio App. 3d at 644;  U.S. Bank Nat. Ass'n v. Kimball , 27 A.3d 1087 (Vt. 2011). Joshua R Simms PC 1000 Eubank Blvd Ne, Ste C Albuquerque,  NM  87112-5375  |   view map (505) 266-2209 In 2012, the Ohio Supreme Court held that a party who does not possess a properly indorsed promissory note at the time the foreclosure proceeding is begun lacks standing, and is not the real party in interest, and that these defects cannot be cured by transfers and indorsements made after the complaint has been filed; see Federal Home Loan Mortg. Corp. v. Schwartzwald, 134 Ohio St.3d 13, 979 N.E.2d 1214 (2012).  Although some courts have been in confusion as to this, both the Official Comment to §3-301 and the cases make it clear that the holder of the note need not also be the owner of the underlying obligation (i.e., the mortgagee or the mortgagee’s assignee); see  Bank of America, N.A. v. Inda , 48 Kan.App.2d 658, 303 P.3d 696 (2013).  Thus, a servicer in possession of the note, acting as an agent of the owner of the note, can qualify as a PETE and therefore prosecute the foreclosure action; see J.E. Robert Co., Inc. v. Signature Properties, LLC, 309 Conn. 307, 71 A.3d 492 (2013). See also Bank of New York v. Romero, 320 P.3d 1 (N.M. 2014); and Bank of America v. Kabba, 276 P.3d 1006 (Okla. 2012). {10} The Romeros also pointed out that the copy of the “original” note Flannigan purportedly authenticated was different from the “original” note attached to the Bank of New York’s foreclosure complaint. While the note attached to the complaint as a true copy was not indorsed, the “original” admitted at trial was indorsed twice: first, with a blank indorsement by Equity One and second, with a special indorsement made payable to JP Morgan Chase. When asked whether either of those two indorsements included the Bank of New York, Flannigan conceded that neither did, but he claimed that his review of the records indicated the note had been transferred to the Bank of New York based on a pooling and servicing agreement document that was never entered into evidence. (1) possession alone is insufficient, (2) the “original” note introduced by the Bank of New York at trial with the two undated indorsements includes a special indorsement to JP Morgan Chase, which cannot be ignored in favor of the blank indorsement, the allegations in the complaint and the assignment of mortgage show the note was transferred knowing a default had occurred and the transfer is subject to UCC 9 requiring proof of the transfer chain and not UCC 3. UCC § 3-302(a). Under Article 3, a holder in due course of a negotiable mortgage note accepts the mortgage note free of (a) all prior claims to or regarding the mortgage note by any person and (b) most defenses to enforceability of the mortgage note that may be raised by parties with whom the holder in due course has not dealt. See UCC §§ 3-305 and 3-306; see also Provident Bank v. Community Home Mortgage Corp., 498 F. Supp. 2d 558, 565 (E.D.N.Y. 2007). The defenses to which a holder in due course may be subject are found in UCC § 3-305, and include: a defense of the obligor based on (i) infancy of the obligor to the extent it is a defense to a simple contract, (ii) duress, lack of legal capacity, or illegality of the transaction which, under other law, nullifies the obligation of the obligor, (iii) fraud that induced the obligor to sign the instrument with neither knowledge nor reasonable opportunity to learn of its character or its essential terms, or (iv) discharge of the obligor in insolvency proceedings. Under UCC § 3-302(a): [A] “holder in due course” means the holder of an instrument if:  (1) the instrument when issued or negotiated to the holder does not bear such apparent evidence of forgery or alteration or is not otherwise so irregular or incomplete as to call into question its authenticity; and (2) the holder took the instrument (i) for value, (ii) in good faith, (iii) without notice that the instrument is overdue or has been dishonored or that there is an uncured default with respect to payment of another instrument issued as part of the same series, (iv) without notice that the instrument contains an unauthorized signature or has been altered, (v) without notice of any claim to the instrument described in Section 3-306 [regarding claims of a property or possessory right in the instrument or its proceeds, including a claim to rescind a negotiation and to recover the instrument or its proceeds], and (vi) without notice that any party has a defense or claim in recoupment described in Section 3-305(a).

CHAIN OF INDORSEMENTS:  Countrywide, America's Wholesale Lender was the Originator of the Loan and

the First Indorsement Bank of America Purchased Countrywide, America's Wholesale Lender in June of 2008 and Is the Second Indorser The third Indorsement, US Bank Indorsement is on the WRONG pay to the order of line – It should be above the Bank of America Indorsement – Countrywide was no longer in existence as of 2013 when US Bank retained ownership – it was purchased in 2008 by Bank of America (the Assignment of Mortgage of September 6, 2013 was recorded by Bank of America as Nominee of America's Wholesale Lender.) For the record – I never received a Notice of the Assignment of Mortgage which is a RESPA violation. CHAIN OF INDORSEMENTS are out of sequence on the Note See Natelson’s Interrogatories asking When did US Bank receive the assignment of the note?' The answer was  _SEPTEMBER___________, 2013, – it is in the record proper. The fact that the NOTE was not present when the Foreclosure Motion was filed, but mentioned within the foreclosure document does not matter – Exhibit A, the Note, and Exhibit C, the Assignment, were both missing and did not appear until 7 days later (someone was probably trying to figure out how to fix the flawed Indorsement Page) – the RULE IS THE RULE, the Note was not present.  The Motion to Lift the Stay , the Stipulated Agreement to Lift the Stay and the Decree relating to lifting the Stay on which the Date from which the banks were allowed to foreclose is established, precludes the rhetoric of the Confirmation of the Plan itself. The RULE as to the date from which foreclosure is allowed has nothing to do with whether I would win or lose if the banks foreclosed before 2008 based on what the Confirmation states – the RULE IS THE RULE! IT WAS ALREADY 2008 WHEN THE BANKS DISCOVERED THAT THEY COULD FORECLOSE WHEN THE PLAN WAS CONFIRMED IN 2006. It matters not that the banks agreed that they would not foreclose until after December 2008; the date was established by Decree and Law that they could foreclose when the Plan was Confirmed and that date was May 19, 2006 –  It was learned by the banks in 2008 that they could have foreclosed as early as May 19, 2006 (my attorney Hughson said, " They were too stupid to know that the Stay was Lifted when the Plan was Confirmed, but they did not foreclose even after the Chapter 11 was dismissed in December 2009 and the final decree in January 2010 – they had plenty of time to foreclose within the 6 year statute but did not do so because they knew that they had TILA and HOEPA and Fraud to answer to, so they waited until my statute of limitations ran out and palmed it off on some other lender who is not a Holder in Due Course because US Bank accepted a mortgage assignment they knew to be in DEFAULT and foreclosure – Bank of America had harassed me from 2008 telling me that they were foreclosing on 110A (and 110B) – they knew that they could foreclose, and they did not do so in a timely manner – the Statute of Limitations had expired May 19, 2011, before the Note was assigned to US Bank, September 6, 2013.  There were NO mortgage payments after 2004 – the Plaintiff fraudulently attempted to claim mortgage payments by someone paying $4,000 cash in 2013 – there is a letter with the exhibits in the 4 inch thick binder labeled Exhibit O, 110A where it seems that Wells Fargo was the owner of the note until 2012, then someone paid $4,000 twice, I think in order to pretend that the mortgage was in good   stead and not in default. This is Fraud. August 2013 is date

THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAD RUN BEFORE US BANK WAS EVEN ASSIGNED THE NOTE BY BANK OF AMERICA IN SEPTEMBER 2013.

The Statute of Limitations expired January 12, 2011, NOT May 19, 2012 and the case was not prosecuted in a timely manner; therefore, the foreclosure case on 110B – D-820- CV-2005-00013 is time-barred. [Lift of Stay reverts parties' status to pre Chapter 11 filing]

And the lender must have continued to make loans to others with similar qualifications as the homeowner.

CONTEMPT OF COURT: RECORDED IN HEARING, JUDGE McElroy asks, do you want to waive your rights the bankruptcy order, because I am going to rule in favor of the  Plaintiff? Natelson and I both said, NO! Possibly Hearing of November 16, 2016 District Court has ignored, misunderstood, or has been ignorant of, a Stipulated Order handed down by a Superior Court, Federal Chapter 11 Court, case 11-05-10321 setting the trigger date for the Statute of Limitations on Foreclosure at May 19, 2006.  Six Years Hence is January 19, 2011.  This case is time-barred.

And AGAIN contempt, after New Mexico Court Of Appeals rules in my favor, my attorney filed a Motion to Dismiss Without Prejudice, Judge McElroy in contempt of higher court Order, says, No, I am not going to allow that, as you well know if the Plaintiff has to start over, the Statute of Limitations will have expired. Let’s just see what the banks do next. This is recorded on Court record. So four years later, US Bank files again for Summary Judgment with fake documents and altered note indorsement, Judge Shannon deems me as Failure to Appear at his online kangaroo court while I actually was in attendance with my attorney, then Judge Shannon wrongfully issued a Writ of Assistance resulting in my wrongful eviction and the theft and grand larceny of my property and all of my possessions.

Judge Shannon was also was knowingly in contempt of higher court orders because he had knowledge from Magistrate Court in his decision in my favor against Hawk Mechanical bases on Federal Chapter 11 Court Orders:
