Wells Fargo, Upstate NY Foreclosure Mill To Face The Heat In Explaining Dubious Documents Filed In Foreclosure Matter

Attorney Abigail Field writes at AOL's Daily Finance:
  • The banks' constant refrain during this mortgage mess is that the paperwork issues are mere technicalities -- nothing to be concerned about. The documents are all true, they assert, we just didn't honor the proper procedures.

  • But it doesn't take much digging into the issue to find a case like that of Tandala Mims of New York, which calls into question the whole foreclosure process and the systems that support it. In Mims's case, which will be argued again on Thursday, her lawyer, consumer bankruptcy attorney Linda Tirelli, argues that Wells Fargo should not be able to foreclose during Mims's bankruptcy because the bank's documents claiming ownership of the mortgage appear to be false in several ways.(1)

The motion features the activities of prolific robosigner John Kennerty; the outfit listed as representing the lender in this case is the notorious, Buffalo, NY-based foreclosure mill Office of Steven J. Baum, P.C.).
