Let’s take a look at some of the more common illegal foreclosures:

1. The lender who is foreclosing on you is not the lender on your deed of trust. This is ok if all the proper assignments are recorded. Of course, the lenders set up MERS and very few loans have the proper chain of title. If this has happened to you, then you need to consider getting a Securitization audit to track the deed of trust, and to track the note. You could just possibly save your home! Here’s one of the key reasons why homeowners are now demanding a Securitization Audit. It is a new day. The Homeowner had first the laws of TILA, RESPA, HOEPA and ECOA on his side – and Forensic Audits proved that the banks lied to the homeowners when they gave the loans. But now again, they lie when they foreclose on his home. There’s an audit to empower homeowners with the laws of the land once again. That’s the Securitization Audit.

Last week the several major newspapers released the news that Bank of America was finding “errors” in the paperwork. The Bank claimed that they found maybe 10 to 25 errors in the first 100 files reviewed; of course many are concerned over the bank’s inability to say if it was ten or eleven, or twenty-five. This week, despite their admittance of “flawed foreclosures” (that’s just a pretty word for predatory foreclosures or fraudulent foreclosures) they announced that their Foreclosure Frenzy will resume at full speed in 23 states (the judicial states) and Bank of America also claimed foreclosure numbers should be around 100,000. GMAC also announced they will resume their foreclosures as well. JP Morgan Chase has remained silent on the subject thus far.

Thousands of people are losing their homes to foreclosure or filing bankruptcy to prevent the loss of their home through foreclosure every month. In fact, recent reports from industry insiders are claiming that there are more than 7,000 bankruptcies being filed each day, while some have projected that big banks like BofA and Wells Fargo could be releasing as many as 25,000 homes to foreclosure proceedings by December of 2010. In many instances homeowners have been led down a not-so-merry path, often being told that their home is under review for a loan mod, which inevitably is denied, as a foreclosure auction date is sent to the homeowner.

Over the past several days three of the major banks have released to the news that they have stalled foreclosures. A closer look reveals that the lenders GMAC, Chase, and Bank of America have only stalled foreclosures for an estimated two to four week window in 23 states. The 23 states are those which specifically use the judicial system to get foreclosures completed. This means that if you are in a state that does what is known as a non-judicial foreclosure, such as California, then your foreclosure is not stalled.

Congress has been working on new legislation that is designed to overhaul current financial regulations. This legislation points fingers in key critical areas across the nation’s economy. Important for homeowners is Congress’s plans to form a new agency to crack down on deceptive mortgages and other financial products in the future. It also aims to better protect consumers, tighten the reins on financial institutions and stop rewarding executives for taking reckless risks to fatten their quarterly earnings and bonuses.

Once you have missed a payment the lender is not your friend. Missed payments equal more money for the lender. The more the lender gets, the happier he is. The best way for the lender to get more money out of you is to increase your monthly payment through accrued interest from late payments or missed payments, late fees and penalties. It is a real money maker for the lender. This has always been a fact and all homeowners know it and accept it.

It has been stated in a variety of newspapers over the past few years that the fees added on to foreclosure are very profitable to the lender. There have been thousands upon thousands of complaints from homeowners where they have suffered for months waiting for loan mods. Often when they started their request to receive a loan mod they were not even in foreclosure. Yet by the time the lender finally got their loan modification completed, they were in foreclosure and had to pay off as a part of the loan mod agreement all the foreclosure fees as well as many other fees. Lenders have scammed thousands of people who never needed to be in foreclosure out of dollars now mounting in the millions.

Looking around on the internet, one very clear statement comes across – Lenders lie to homeowners. Why are you listening to your lender? The most common lie is that the lender really wants to help you, and is working on a loan mod for you, but actually he is just stalling while he waits for the foreclosure to complete.
