Michigan Mortgage Crooks

Nah, not yet.  I keep hoping, but the mortgage industry crooks still walk free.

And you friendly government bailout boys, Fannie Mae et. al., want to pick up where they left off.

Not so fast, my friend! (gag)

Oakland County, Michigan, has WON its lawsuit against Fannie and other government agencies that were trying to continue MERS trick of not paying transfer fees to county clerks.

Of course, MERS, and their crooked mortgage masters, made more by: doing less.  Things like actually keeping track of the paperwork on mortgages they sold/assigned/transferred/whatevered mortgages were a little too much for it.

Foreclosure Crisis: Government Still Sides WIth The Crooks?

The foreclosure crisis has hit Michigan as hard as any state. Like my boat after a rainstorm, most Michigan homes with a mortgage are underwater, that is, worth less than what is owed on them. Uh, this is not newsworthy. Just today, spoke to a former client who is 64, yes, sixty four months behind…

Surprise: Michigan Mortgage Law Changes Again

Michigan’s foreclosure law changed dramatically a couple of years ago to encourage the evil bankers, uh, sorry, responsible mortgage companies to assist homeowners in keeping their homes. I have seen no statistical studies.  Based on what I hear from Michigan bankruptcy and foreclosure clients, not many people actually get modifications out of this process.  Like…
