Neilanders vs. Goliath
In Suing RMS Residential Properties LLC And Specialized Loan Servicing LLC
June 13th, 2012
Written by John Wright
“There was a giant who was bullying and harassing the children in the village. One day — a 17-year-old shepherd boy came to visit his brothers and asked: “Why don’t you stand up and fight the giant?” The brothers were terrified and they replied: “Don’t you see he is too big to hit?” David said: “No! He is not too big to hit! He is too big to miss.” In the end David killed the giant with a sling.”
Those were the words of Darrell Neilander.
Mr. and Mrs. Neilander bought their three bedroom home in Connecticut in 2006 for themselves and their three small children. Aegis Lending Corporation originated their loan. It seemed that they were living the American Dream. That was until the Neilanders started reading various blogs and news articles that informed them that their “American Dream” might have turned into an “American Nightmare” because of what the commercial banks had done as a result of their greed. This is when Neilanders found out that American homeowner’s around the nation might be paying the wrong company for their mortgage payment. Apparently — they learned that in most cases there are multiple trusts and multiple beneficiaries existing. This makes it virtually impossible for the correct owner of the debt to be accurately identified.
Darrell Neilander: “Listen – I borrowed the money and I want to pay the loan back. However, I am not going to pay the wrong person and have some creditor come out in a couple of years and say – they you owe me now!’ You paid the wrong person!”
That is why Mr. Neilander had two very simple questions for the company that said they were hired to service the Neilander’s loan for the investor. This company is Specialized Loan Servicing (SLS).
Mr. Neilander’s questions were and are:
- Who should he pay?
- Who does he owe the money to?
Darrell Neilander: “If these alleged creditors have nothing to hide — why don’t they just show me the legal documents that we requested that shows they own the loan? Certainly — it should be no problem — if the alleged creditor has nothing to hide — right?”
The Neilander’s thought they were simple questions. However — they thought wrong — because the Neilanders have been asking those same questions for almost two years now without an answer. This is because the potentially irregular, fraudulent, illegal and simply abusive servicing company (Specialized Loan Servicing) or (SLS) simply told the Neilanders that they did not have the right to know the answer to these questions.
The story I am about to tell you started out as simple as two questions. However — it would end up developing into a much larger story that involves lawsuits — intimidation — and — a potential conspiracy of the bank trying to strip the Mr. and Mrs. Neilander of their fundamental right to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is including even their 1st Amendment right of freedom of speech.
Ladies and Gentleman of The Court of Public Opinion! That is why it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the real story of David and Goliath! Therefore — I introduce to you the story of Darrell Neilander vs. RMS Residential Properties LLC and Specialized Loan Servicing LLC.!
In October of 2011 — Mr. and Mrs. Neilander decided to fight back. That is because they filed a lawsuit in federal court against both RMS Residential Properties LLC .(The alleged owner of the Debt) and Specialized Loan Servicing LLC (SLS) (The alleged Servicer of the debt) for violations of the FDCPA and the FCRA and the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act while doing so pro se.
Mr. and Mrs. Neilander asked how an entity that cannot prove they have interest in the debt:
- Can collect on that debt?
- Can report the Neilanders to the credit bureaus?
For the record — Specialized Loan Servicing (SLS) and RMS Residential Properties LLC continue to refuse to prove to the Neilanders that they legitimately own the debt. This is why Mr. and Mrs. Neilander allege that they are in violation of the law. They also allege that attorneys representing these alleged creditors are potentially using “mafia like tactics” to try and intimidate Mr. Neilander and his family because they filed this lawsuit.
The First Law Firm the Bank hired:
- The Law Offices of Bendett and McHugh
- http://www.bmpc-law.com/contactus.html
The Law Offices of Bendett and McHugh had told him that they would sue him and foreclose on their home if he does not pay the alleged creditor. This is according to Darrell Neilander. The bank attorney also refused to prove to Mr. Neilander that their client owned the loan. Neilander was basically informed that they don’t have to prove anything. That is why they told them to just “pay or else.” I mean — what next? Were they going to say something out of a mafia movie like – “Cough up the money?” (tongue-in-cheek) (Wink) Or — were they going to send someone to the Neilander’s house to intimidate them like the mafia would do? Well that is exactly what they potentially did. This is because Mr. Neilander became concerned for the safety of himself and his family when there seemed to be strangers coming to their home where Mr. and Mrs. Neilander are raising their three small children. This is when Mr. Neilander contacted one of the bank attorneys from the second law firm that the bank involved. That’s right! I said the “Second Law Firm” the bank hired to go against the Neilanders.
2nd Law Firm bank hired
- Jonathan A. Kaplan
- Martha Croog, LLC
- The Brownstone
- 190 Trumbull Street, Second Floor
- Hartford, CT 06103
- http://www.marthacroog.com/martha_croog.html
Mr. Neilander asked Attorney Martha Croog if she knew anything about the strangers potentially stalking his family. Attorney Martha Croog acted completely appalled that he would even suggest such a thing — according to Neilander. She then categorically denied the allegation that the lawyers had any knowledge of any such thing. However — once Mr. Neilander informed Martha Croog that he would be asking the police to investigate and inform the judge in the case — (The Honorable Judge Janet Hall) — all of a sudden Ms. Croog’s memory seemed to come back. This is because she now admitted to Mr. Neilander that her client (SLS and RMS) were indeed sending some unknown strangers to their home. However — Attorney Martha Croog absolutely refused to give Mr. Neilander the name of these strangers who came to his house. She simply said, “We won’t send them to your home anymore.”
Wait a minute! Didn’t Croog just say that it was her client that sent the strangers and not the law firm?
.
Therefore — why would she say – “we won’t send them to your home anymore” — while at the same time – acting like she had authority to stop it? Is it because it actually was the law firm who had sent them? (Picture is of Martha Croog in upper right) – Darrell Neilander writes about Croog ordeal
Third Law Firm bank hired
- Valerie Kloecker (Changed to Valerie Doble)
- Hinshaw & Culbertson of Boston.
- One of the largest law firms in the nation
- http://www.hinshawlaw.com/vkloecker/
For the record — Attorney Valerie Kloecker recently filed a motion to the court to try and stop the Neilanders from telling their story to the press. In other words — she is trying to stop the Neilanders from telling their story to Piggybankblog.com. However — slap me Five Valerie Kloecker! Up high! Down low! Too slow! This is because the Neilanders have already told Piggybankblog.com their story! This was done way before any such motion was made to the court. — Valerie Click here
.
Now the question is — why would RMS Residential Properties LLC and Specialized Loan Servicing (SLS) need to hire three law firms — one being the largest in the nation — just answer two simple questions?
- Who should the Neilander’s pay?
- Who do the Neilanders owe the money to?
I will let you know why this blogger thinks RMS Residential Properties LLC and Specialized Loan Servicing (SLS) have hired three law firms and are worried. I think that it is because it is very likely that there are multiple trusts and multiple beneficiaries existing. This ultimately makes it impossible for the correct owner of the debt to be identified. How did this happen? It might have happened when Mr. and Mrs. Neilander from Connecticut had their loan originate from a company named –“Aegis Lending Corporation” in the year 2006. This is because I am guessing that Aegis Lending Corporation probably created and sold off these loans in the same way that Countrywide Home Loans Inc. and the other potentially irresponsible and greedy lenders did. This is thanks to the Glass- Steagall Act — the banks were
virtually unregulated — which is why they probably used very little to no income verification because they planned on selling those loans off as mortgage backed securities to investors while making them somebody else’s problem. Incidentally — that “somebody else” would end up being “YOU” the taxpayer.
.
.
In the end — the taxpayer would end up being forced to give a WHOPPING 16.6 TRILLION DOLLAR BAILOUT.
This was given to Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo and Citibank and others. This was just so they could buy and save the investment banks like Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch from collapsing from those bad loans that the commercial banks had sold to them in the first place. The loans they gave out to people with little to no income verification out of greed. Oh by the way! They did not save Lehman Brothers and Dick Fold. Sorry Dick! (Wink)
The simple fact is that the investment banks collapsing would have been the shot that was heard around the world. This is because it basically would have delivered the United States of America and the world into an economic Armageddon to biblical proportions. It was done in a way that would have made “The Great Depression” look more like “The Great Recession” in comparison. That is why the expert’s theorized that it was the banks messing with Wall Street that caused the Great Depression. That is why they passed the Glass- Steagall Act to stop them from doing it again. However — the Clinton administration to get repealed — which is a major reason we are where we are now in this economic crisis.
Well — look at the bright side! For example — we have not been able to stop “thinking about tomorrow” ever since Bill Clinton was able to deregulate the banks.
Thumbs down to Bill Clinton!
So the problem was there was a dry up of credit. That is what caused the Great Depression. In this case the very banks who collapsed the economy were not loaning money. Why? Well — they simply knew that none of the people would be in a position to pay back the loans after what they did tp the economy. However — there was also another reason — which was there were now no investors after the loans were downgraded. This is after they found out that the banks were giving them to people with little to no income verification. That is when they started pulling your equity line of credit. Do you remember that time? That was such a fun time — wasn’t it? Well — now you know why they pulled your equity line of credit. They simply had inside information that you the taxpayer and homeowner did not have.
So that is why the banks were given a bailout. The government simply needed them to loan small businesses money. This is after you consider that small businesses make up something like 85% of the economy. However — unfortunately — the banks took the bailout money to just give themselves bonuses –instead of loaning us the money.
The commercial banks had collapsed the American economy in a way that only Bin Laden could have dreamed of doing. It is exactly why it was ironic that former President Bush was protecting us from what he perceived to be a foreign enemy and threat such as Saddam Hussein and Iraq. This is when the real enemy and threat was right here in our own backyard ………the commercial banks. Ironically — one of the commercial banks that played a major role in all this would even bare our own name in it. The name of that bank was Bank of America. Or – what I like to refer to as:
Bank of Destroying The American Dream.
Now — before you think I am crazy — I need to remind you that Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur agrees with me.
.
For the record — my dream is to one day shake the hand of Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur. This is because she is a hero!
Aegis Lending Corporation:
Aegis Lending Corporation was where the Neilanders loan originated. Aegis has been listed as one of the top 25 subprime lenders. For example — it has been estimated that they are responsible taking in at least $11.5 billion in subprime loans. – Source Aegis Lending Corporation is also a subsidiary of the parent company named Aegis Mortgage Corporation. This is much in the same way that Bac Home Loans is a subsidiary of the parent company named Bank of America. Aegis Mortgage Corporation was the head of a diversified family of lending institutions. It has four lending subsidiaries: Aegis Lending Corporation, Aegis Wholesale Corporation, Aegis Funding Corporation (which also uses the trade name Aegis Home Equity) and Aegis Correspondent Corporations. – Source
In 1998 a private investment firm named Cerberus Capital Management bought a controlling stake in the Houston-based mortgage lender Aegis Mortgage Company. SourceCerberus Capital Management is an American private equity firm. The firm is based in New York City, and run by financier Steve Feinberg – who co-founded Cerberus in 1992 with William L. Richter who currently serves as a Senior Managing Director. The firm has affiliate and/or advisory offices in the United States — Europe and Asia.
Cerberus is named for the mythological three-headed dog that guarded the gates of Hades. Basically– Hades once translated means “hell” in the Holy Scriptures. That is why the old saying that sometimes hell is paved with good intentions may ring true after all (tongue – in – cheek).
Now Feinberg has stated to his employees that while the Cerberus name seemed like a good idea at the time (He did? WTF?) — he later regretted naming the company after the mythological dog. At this point — however — the firm’s name has significant brand equity. I am guessing that the short version of the brand version might be 666. That is if you do the math on three dog heads representing the three places where they are located such as the United States, Europe and Asia. Therefore — thanks to the Great Mortgage Crisis — I guess we have finally solved the three headed wild beast spoken about in the book of Revelations. (Kidding) (Wink) (Sort of)
Dan Quayle, former Vice President of the United States 1989-1993 — who served with former President George H. W. Bush (Senior) — has apparently finally learned the correct way to spell the word potato.
.
Boy that must have been a proud day for the Republicans.
Fortunately for Dan Quayle he may not have been smart enough to be Vice President of the United States because of the Potato incident with an (e) at the end of it — however – he was apparently smart enough to end up joining Cerberus in 1999 and is chairman of the company’s Global Investments division. This is because he must learned how to spell “mortgage backed securities” instead. – Wikipedia
In August 2007 — Cerberus announced that it was closing Aegis Mortgage Corporation.
Then August 8th, 2007 — the state of Connecticut issued a then-moot cease and desist order to make sure Aegis made no further loans there. – Source
Then August 13th, 2007 — Aegis Mortgage Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware to seek protection from its creditors. They said that it was because of the “extreme changes in the market conditions, coupled with the rapid decline in the secondary mortgage market severely affected its operation and led to this filing.” In other words — nobody probably wanted to buy their shit loans once they figured out they were giving loans to people who should not qualify. Nevertheless — Aegis Mortgage Acceleration Corporation has now changed its name to Equity Accelerator Program since the bankruptcy. They are basically no longer Aeigis Mortgage Corporation anymore.
For the record — Equity Accelerator Program may be reached at 800-549-6445, P. O. Box 6506 Englewood, CO 80155-6506. That is if you need records that Aegis Mortgage Corporation had while they were existing. – further information
It is very likely that there could be a problem for investors. This is including Fannie and Freddie. For example – they also bought these loans from the commercial bank or lenders such as Aegis Lending Corporation and Countrywide. This is because it is most likely that the lenders and investors did not legally or properly transfer the ownership of these loans when they sold them. What does this mean? Well — it could mean that the one foreclosing on your home does not really own the debt — simply because the paperwork is either lost or all done wrong. It also could mean that the RMS Residential Properties LLC might not have the proper paperwork to show that they own the Neilander’s loan because of MORTGAGE FRAUD.
Mortgage Fraud in the past ten years — hundreds of thousands of residential mortgages were bundled together (often in groups of about 5,000 mortgages and other negotiable instruments with an average worth of 1 billion dollars) — and investors were offered the opportunity to buy shares of each bundle/certificates. This process is called securitization. Securitization is a structured finance process that distributes risk by aggregating debt instruments in a pool – then issues new securities backed by the pool. The term “Securitization” is derived from the fact that the forms of financial instruments used to obtain funds from the investors are securities. As a portfolio risk backed by amortizing cash flows – and unlike general corporate debt – the credit quality of securitized debt is non-stationary due to changes in volatility that are time-structured dependent. If the transaction is properly structured and the pool performs as expected, the credit risk of all tranches of structured debt improves; if improperly structured – the affected tranches will experience dramatic credit deterioration and loss. All assets can be securitized so long as they are associated with cash flow. Hence — the securities which are the outcome of securitization processes are termed asset-backed securities (ABS). From this perspective — securitization could also be defined as a financial process leading to an issue of an ABS. This is a highly complex process which was developed by Wall Street. Basically — Wall Street figured a way to turn a 30 year mortgage — with small monthly payments – into instant – large sums of cash – which could and was — which was sold before the borrower even signed the Note. It was then sold or pledged and/or utilized multiple times over. – Source
This youtube below shows you how it works:
.
Now you understand why I always tell you that it is very likely that there are multiple trusts and multiple beneficiaries existing at the time of the foreclosure. This ultimately makes it impossible for the correct investor to accurately identify the correct owner of the debt. That means there has been a break in the chain of title.
U.C.C. provision, U.C.C. §3-305(c): “An obligor is not obliged to pay the instrument if the person seeking enforcement of the instrument does not have rights of a holder in due course and the obligor proves that the instrument is a lost or stolen instrument.” – read more laws
.
However — this is a very complex issue — which is why judges and politicians are having a hard time wrapping their mind around it. This is because the banks have done an excellent job in creating subsidiary – after subsidiary – after subsidiary — and — affiliate – after affiliate – after affiliate – and — corporate veil – after corporate veil – after corporate veil. They do this just so they can hide behind all the companies they created or contracted to avoid ever being held accountable.
Therefore — unfortunately — I am guessing that the Honorable Judge Janet Hall watching Darrell Neilander and the bank attorney going back and forth in court. This will be all while Mr. Neilander will probably continue to ask the bank attorney over and over again the following:
- Who owned his loan?
- When they owned it?
I bet you they will refuse to answer it! Do you know why? Because I don’t think they know!
Nevertheless — it is a complex issue – which is why to the judge it will probably simply look a lot like something out of that Abbot and Costello standup. For example — let’s pretend that you are the judge watching Darrell (Abbott) ask the bank attorney (Costello) who owns what – when – where and how the loan was sold and bought. The attorney and the bank will simply answer back in the same way that Costello answers Abbott in this youtube below.
.
That is why I wonder if the judge will be able to follow the conversation in a way that they can wrap their mind around what company owned the loan at what time — and — drum roll please – who owns it now? That is when Neilander should just present exhibit A. Exhibit A is a hot dog. Then Neilander should explain to the judge that the bank is not able to identify the owner of the debt in the same way that the judge can not tell Neilander which chicken or pig was used in what part of Exhibit A (hot dog). – see hot dog theory
The simple fact is that finding out who the rightful owner of these loans might be compared to trying to find out who gave the order to shoot John F. Kennedy that awful day in Texas. This is because if it was a conspiracy — I guarantee you that the shooters don’t even know who gave the order to shoot. However – unlike the Kennedy conspiracy — all one has to do is follow the money to find out who is behind this conspiracy. (Wink) That is why the United States Justice Department might just have to put up a chart in courtroom like they did with Al Capone to describe how all roads lead to Rome.
Now — with that being understood –the judge may wonder why the other investors are not making any claims to the loan if there are multiple investors and multiple beneficiaries. The judge simply might not be understanding that they are not making any claims because they have already been paid off by the insurance. That is why in the end we hope that the Honorable Judge Janet Hall and all judges will realize that it was basically one big insurance fraud scam from the beginning – to middle – to end. The end being that you the taxpayer were scammed out of 16.6 trillion dollars and your homes.

Great story and best of luck to them.Am from CT and have ask BOA to show me the appraisal for an investment home which they open a line of credit which never should of been given, plus the signed paper which put me in the HAMP program back in Nov 2010. I was understanding that to be in the HAMP program you had to be behind on your payments ( which I was not ).Putting me in the program added a escrow account ( which I did not have with this loan ) adding $630.00 per month. I had not budget that for another 10 month. Its goes on and on.Court on the 26th ! Keep fighting people.Thanks John
I WANTED TO SHARE THIS NEIL GARFIELD COMMENTARY… LIVINGLIES
SOUND FAMILIAR??????????
Editor’s Comment:
I keep waiting for someone to notice. We all know that the foreclosures were defective. We all know that in many cases independent auditors found that strangers to the transaction submitted credit bids that were accepted by the auctioneer, and that in the non-judicial states where substitutions of trustees are always used to replace an independent trustee with one owned or controlled by the “new creditor” the “credit bid” is accepted by the creditor’s agent even if the trustee has notice from the borrower that neither the substitution of trustee nor the foreclosure are valid, that the borrower denies the debt, denies the default and denies the right of the “new creditor” to do anything.
.
In the old days when we followed the law, the trustee would have only one option: file an interpleader lawsuit in court claiming two stakeholders and that the trustee is not a stakeholder and should be reimbursed for fees and costs. Today instead of an interpleader, it is a foreclosure because the “creditor” is holding all the cards.
.
So why is anyone surprised that modifications are rejected when in the past the debtor and borrower always worked things out because foreclosure was not as good as a work-out?
.
Why do the deeds found to be lacking in consideration with false credit bids still remain on the books? Why hasn’t the homeowner been notified that he still owns the property and has the right to possession?
And why are we so sure that the original mortgage has any more validity than the false documents to support fraudulent foreclosures? Is it because the borrower’s signature is on it? OK. If we are going to look at the borrower’s signature then why do we not look at the rest of the document and the facts alleged to have occurred in those documents. The note says that the payee is the lender. We all know that isn’t true. The mortgage says the property is collateral for payment to the payee on the note. What first year law student would fail to spot that if the note recited a loan transaction that never occurred, then the mortgage securing the payments on the false transaction is no better than the note?
.
So if the original transaction was defective and the servicer derives its status or power from the origination documents, then who is the servicer and why is he standing in your living room demanding payment and declaring you in default?
.
If any reader of this blog somehow convinced another reader of the blog to sign a note and mortgage, would the note and mortgage be valid without any actual financial transaction. No. In fact, the attempt to collect on the note where I didn’t make the loan might be considered fraud or even grand theft. And rightfully so. I am told that in some states the Judges say it is the absence of anyone else making an effort to collect on the note that proves the standing of the party seeking to enforce it. Really?
.
This sounds like a business plan. A lends B money. B signs papers indicating the loan came from C and C gets the mortgage. B is delinquent by a month and having lost his job he abandons the property. D comes in and seeks to enforce the mortgage and note and nobody else is around. The title record is still clear of any foreclosure activity. D says he has an assignment and produces a false forged assignment. Nobody else shows up. THAT is because the parties in the securitization chain are using MERS instead of the public record title registry so they didn’t get any notice. D gets the foreclosure after substituting trustees in a non-judicial state or doing absolutely nothing in a judicial state. The property is auctioned and D submits a credit bid which is accepted by the auctioneer. The clerk or trustee issues D a deed upon foreclosure and D immediately transfers the property to XYZ corporation that he formed the day before. XYZ sells the property to E for $300,000. E pays D $60,000 down payment and gets a mortgage from ABC Lending Corp. for the other $240,000. ABC Lending Corp. sells the note and mortgage into the secondary market where it is sliced and diced into parcels that are allocated into one or more REMIC special purpose vehicles.
.
Now B comes back and finds out that he was never foreclosed on by his lender. C wakes up and says they never released the mortgage. D took the money and ran, never to be heard from again. The investors in the REMIC trusts are told they bought an invalid mortgage or one in which the mortgage has second priority instead of first priority. E, who bought the property with $60,000 of his own money is now at risk, and when he looks at his title policy and makes a claim he is directed to the schedules of exclusions and exceptions that specifically cover this event. So no title carrier is going to pay. In fact, the title company might concede that B still owns the property and that C has the first mortgage on it, but that leaves E with two mortgages instead of one. The two mortgages together total around $500,000, a price that E’s property will never reach in 20 years. Sound familiar?
.
Welcome to USA property law as it was summarily ignored, changed and enforced for the past 10 years? Why? Especially when it turns out that the investment broker that sold the mortgage bonds of the REMIC knew about the whole story all along. Why are we letting this happen?
.
THANKS JOHN WRIGHT
DARRELL NEILANDER AND I ‘M FIGHTING BACK
Ok so some of you are playing catch-up on these issues.
.
Some of you have more knowledge than some of our elected officials.
.
If you want an impartial story here is another one.
.
A top notch attorney who was appointed by Bill Clinton uncovered how this mess started. Of course the “good ole boys club” took her down. The story of Brooksly Born tells of the “dark banking market”. Some of you read our stories and think how could this be true. Take some time and watch this story of Brooklsy Born a Democrat who tried to make a difference.
.
If she was sucessful we would know who owns our house today.
.
“It’ll happen again if we don’t take the appropriate steps,” Born warns. “There will be significant financial downturns and disasters attributed to this regulatory gap over and over until we learn from experience.”
