Ohio Attorney General Cordray: Refiling Affidavits is an insult to the Justice System
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) — In response to Wells Fargo's statement acknowledging that it "made mistakes" and that affidavits in 55,000 foreclosures filed by the bank did not "adhere" to the law, Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray offers the following statement:

Attorney General McKenna calls for Mortgage Trustees to Suspend Questionable Foreclosures
I sincerely hope each of our Superior Court Judges takes the time to read Attorney General McKenna's announcement. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae borrowers have a legal right to mediation and a face to face meeting with the servicer to discuss alternatives to foreclosure in all 50 states before a Foreclosure sale can take place. (Yes, even in the state of Washington). The practice of Trustees and Servicers skipping this step "deprives homeowners of their legal right to assert legitimate defenses in an action to save their homes." This is the reason why I'm fighting my foreclosure in court. My legal rights to mediation and other loss mitigation services designed to prevent foreclosure were violated by Wells Fargo, the Servicer and NW Trustee Services, the Trustee. This is why I am fighting to have my home returned to me. Despite popular opinion, several wrongs, including alleged fraud do not make a right. Not even in the world of Foreclosure.

In introduction to the foreclosure mess
If you are trying to get your head around the foreclosure crisis, and why there isn't some simplistic answer like "make your payments on time"...
Start here.
Then go here.
Then go here.
Then go here.
Do not initial anywhere.
Spoiler Alert: Making your payments on time isn't the solution.

My Wrongful Foreclosure Story is being picked up by other blogs
From Social Apocalypse
"I'm in receipt of a letter from Wells Fargo Bank "confirming" my active home mortgage account (they even have the right account number and property address). The letter was sent to me after Wells Fargo sold my home at Sheriff's auction and Superior Court Judge Ira Uhrig signed an order to forcibly allow the Sheriff's Office to evict me from the house that I raised my family in for 20 years.
Wrongfully foreclosed on family moves back into their house
One family, claiming wrongful foreclosure moves home on the advice of their attorney before new purchasers can move into the home.

Will I be shot, beaten or arrested if I try to go home? (after all, this is the state of Washington - where illegal foreclosures enjoy the support of the courts).

Does Freddie Mac (or Fannie Mae) own your Mortgage?
If so, you have a right to be reviewed for a Home Affordable Modification Program before your home is foreclosed on by a servicer or lender.

According to Wells Fargo, I still have a mortgage on my house that was wrongfully foreclosed on. So, why am I not in my house?

40 State Attorney Generals call for a Coordinated Investigation into foreclosures at the largest Banks and Mortgage Firms
Perhaps the greatest breach of property rights in the history of the United States of America.
by Bloomberg
"Attorneys General in about 40 states may announce a joint investigation into foreclosures at the largest banks and mortgage firms, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
State attorneys general led by Iowa’s Tom Miller are in talks that may lead to the announcement of a coordinated probe as soon as Oct. 12, said the person, who declined to be identified because a final agreement hasn’t been reached. The number of states may change because several are still deciding whether to join the investigation, the person said. New Mexico Attorney General Gary King said today in a statement that his state will join a multi-state effort.

I think there's a much bigger problem lurking in the shadows behind the GMAC/JPMChase foreclosures freezes due to concerns about faulty foreclosures: clouded title.

Wells Fargo and it's Robo Signers must be stopped. John Herman Kennerty admitted in a Deposition taken last May in King County that he was not familiar with the truth of the matters set forth in the documents he signed
by Fraud Digest
WHY WELLS FARGO MUST BE ORDERED TO STOP ITS FORECLOSURES.
While other banks have acknowledged some problems and halted some foreclosures, Wells Fargo has issued self-serving statements and forged ahead. Why should Wells Fargo be ordered to stop its foreclosures? First, Wells Fargo’s foreclosure mill, America’s Servicing Company, and its robo-signers John Herman Kennerty, China Brown, Heather Carrico, Natasha Clark and others signed thousands of documents each month with no knowledge of the truth of the matters set forth for the courts in those documents. The sheer volume of the documents signed by Kennerty should be enough to convince any court that Kennerty had no knowledge of the facts. A court in Brooklyn found a case where Kennerty’s signature was notarized, but actually did not appear on the document. The notary was mindlessly signing a stack of documents. Which law firms are submitting the Affidavits in Florida for Wells Fargo? Florida Default Law Group and the Law Offices of David Stern, two of the law firms under investigation by the Florida Attorney General. Second, Wells Fargo used Docx in Alpharetta, Georgia to produce mortgage assignments used in thousands of Wells Fargo foreclosures. Many different employees signed the name “Linda Green” on these documents. (For three examples of mortgage assignments used by Wells Fargo, click on the “Pleadings” section of this website – no sign-on is necessary.) Despite the statements of Lender Processing Services to the contrary, Docx “Linda Green” Affidavits – with many versions of the Linda Green signature – continued to appear in Wells Fargo cases well into 2009. Examples are also in the Pleadings Section. The Perry Affidavit was signed July 10, 2008, but notarized January 15, 2009. The Carrerra Affidavit was signed in January 2008, but notarized in January, 2009. On these few examples, Linda Green is identified as the Vice President of Wells Fargo bank, the Vice President of Sand Canyon Mortgage and the Vice President of American Home Mortgage Servicing. Most are notarized by the same notary, Brittany Snow, who says she has personal knowledge that Linda Green is Vice President of these many entities. In the first quarter of 2010, Wells Fargo filed 1,117 foreclosure actions in Palm Beach County. In the second quarter, Wells Fargo filed 920 foreclosures in Palm Beach County. In the third quarter, Wells Fargo filed 847 foreclosures. In the vast majority of these foreclosures, Wells Fargo is acting as a trustee for a mortgage-backed securitized trust that cannot even prove that it acquired the mortgages without relying on the Linda Green and John Kennerty documents. This is not the time to stonewall.
THE FDIC AND OCC, THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY AND THE SECRETARY OF HOUSING NEED TO STOP THE WELLS FARGO FORECLOSURES.

Thank you, President Obama - for doing the right thing for America. President Obama used what is called a "pocket veto."
