Produce The Note “How-To”
June 19, 2008
Fight Foreclosure: Make ‘Em Produce The Note!
Using the “produce the note” strategy is something all homeowners facing foreclosure can do. If you believe you’ve been treated unfairly, fight back. We have created templates for a legal request, a letter to your lender and a motion to compel to help you through the process. Read the step by step “how to” under the videos.
Special note: In some states, a lender can foreclose on your home without going to court. These are called non-judicial foreclosure states. You can still use the “Produce the Note” strategy in these states, but it takes a few more steps on your part.
Produce the Note - Steps To Follow:
WHO OWNS THE NOTE?
Your goal is to make certain the institution suing you is, in fact, the owner of the note (see steps to follow below). There is only one original note for your mortgage that has your signature on it. This is the document that proves you owe the debt.
During the lending boom, most mortgages were flipped and sold to another lender or servicer or sliced up and sold to investors as securitized packages on Wall Street. In the rush to turn these over as fast as possible to make the most money, many of the new lenders did not get the proper paperwork to show they own the note and mortgage. This is the key to the produce the note strategy. Now, many lenders are moving to foreclose on homeowners, resulting in part from problems they created, and don’t have the proper paperwork to prove they have a right to foreclose.
THE HARM
If you don’t challenge your lender, the court will simply allow the foreclosure to proceed. It’s important to hold lenders accountable for their carelessness. This is the biggest asset in your life. It’s just a piece of paper to them, and one they likely either lost or destroyed.
When you get a copy of the foreclosure suit, many lenders now automatically include a count to re-establish the note. It often reads like this: “…the Mortgage note has either been lost or destroyed and the Plaintiff is unable to state the manner in which this occurred.” In other words, they are admitting they don’t have the note that proves they have a right to foreclose.
If the lender is allowed to proceed without that proof, there is a possibility another institution, which may have bought your note along the way, will also try to collect the same debt from you again.
A Tennessee borrower recently had precisely that happen to her. Her lender, Ameriquest, foreclosed on her in July of 2007. About three months later, another bank sent her a default notice for the mortgage on the house she just lost. She called to find out what was going on. After being transferred from place to place and left on hold for lengthy periods of time, no one could explain what happened. They said they would get back to her, but never did. Now, she faces the risk of having her credit continually damaged for a debt she no longer owes.
FIGHT FOR FAIRNESS
This process is not intended to help you get your house for free. The primary goal is to delay the foreclosure and put pressure on the lender to negotiate. Despite all the hype about lenders wanting to help homeowners avoid foreclosure, most borrowers know that’s not the reality.
Too many homeowners have experienced lender resistance to their efforts to work out a payment structure to keep them in their homes. Many lenders bear responsibility for these defaults, because they put borrowers into unfair loans using deceptive, hard-sell practices and then made the problem worse with predatory servicing.
Most homeowners just want these lenders to give them reasonable terms on their mortgages, many of which were predatory to begin with. With the help of judges who see through these predatory practices, lenders will feel the pressure to work with borrowers to keep them in their homes. Don’t forget lenders made incredible amounts of money by using irresponsible practices to issue and service these loans. That greed led to the foreclosure crisis we’re in today. Allowing lenders to continue foreclosing on home after home, destroying our neighborhoods and our economy hurts us all. So, make it hard for your lender to take your home. Make ‘em produce the note!
STEPS TO FOLLOW
A. If your lender has already filed suit to foreclose on your home:
Use the first form. It’s a fill-in-the-blank legal request to your lender asking that the original note be produced, before it can proceed with the foreclosure. In some jurisdictions, the courts require the original request to be filed with the clerk of court and a copy of the request to be sent to the attorney representing the lender. To find out the rules where you live, call the Clerk of Court in your jurisdiction.
If the lender’s attorney does not respond within 30 days, file a motion to compel with the court and request that the court set a hearing on your motion. That, in effect, asks the judge to order the lender to produce the documents.
The judge will issue a ruling at your hearing. Many judges around the country are becoming more sympathetic to homeowners, because of the prevalence of predatory lending and servicing. In the past, many lenders have relied upon using lost note affidavits, but in many cases, that’s no longer enough to satisfy the judge. They are holding the lender to the letter of the law, requiring them to produce evidence that they are the true owners of the note. For example:
In October 2007, Ohio Federal Court Judge Christopher Boyko dismissed 14 foreclosure cases brought by investors, ruling they failed to prove they owned the properties they were trying to seize.
B. If you are in default, but your lender has not yet filed suit against you:
Use the second form. It’s a fill-in-the-blank letter to your lender which also requests they produce the original note, before taking foreclosure action against you.
If the lender does not respond and files suit against you to foreclose, follow the steps above.
UPDATE: CNN features The Consumer Warning Network and the “Produce The Note” strategy. Borrowers are putting this plan into action and getting results!
Consumer Warning Network Featured on CNN
THE LATEST: Borrower wins more time to fight foreclosure! At a court hearing Tuesday, a Pinellas County, Florida Judge denied Wachovia the right to proceed with its foreclosure against borrower Jacqueline O’Brien (profiled in the CNN story). Instead, O’Brien was granted a continuance, as she pursues the produce the note strategy. Wachovia expressed interest in renegotiating the terms of the loan, rather than continuing the court battle. We’ll keep you posted!

Massage Therapy in Greenville, South Carolina Using Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy

Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy is an ancient massage modality utilizing the massage therapist's hands and feet. The feet are used for a tireless deep tissue massage and the hands are used to apply lighter strokes on more sensative areas like the face and neck.

One of the wonderous qualities of this massage is that even a small petite female can give a person a deep massage without tiring, so feel free to ask the therapist for what you want for they can perform all day long without slowing down.

In order for the massage therapist to have balance and grace, special bars are permanently mounted from the ceiling above the massage table to stabilize the movements. The masseuse holds on to the bars while using their feet for a deep relaxation massage.

In Greenville, SC, Anna Bowen, licensed massage therapist for 11 years practices this rare technique at her massage studio located across from the Bi-Lo Center in downtown Greenville:

Youtube Unveils New Widescreen Format (16:9)

I was playing a Youtube video tonight at 11 p.m. eastern standard time, then I refreshed the page and the new widescreen format appeared in the Youtube player.

The new default Youtube player size is: 640x360 pixels.

Wow, this changes everything. And, in my opinion, it's for the better!!! With TV going all digital and new TVs being widescreen with a 16:9 format, I think this change in none too soon.

There are a lot of web 2.0 video marketers that are using the new Flip Video HD which uses the new YouTube 16:9 widescreen format which Amazon offering at a discount. The resolution format of the new Flip Video Mino HD is 1280 x 720 so it wouldn't surprise me if that were the new HQ upload resolution for Youtube widescreen players. It has been 640 x 480 for HQ, but now it makes me believe it will be 1280 x 720 because I doubt the Flip video company did this new format on a whim; I'll bet they were in communication with Google/Youtube the whole time because they proudly display the Youtube logo all over their Flip Mino boxes. I've ordered mine and it's on it's way!

Here's YouTube's first official statement I could find on this subject http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=0i22UDAOfj8

I saw one person using Divx get great results with these upload settings:

I saw one person using these Divx settings for pretty good video quality in stereo:

Codec: DivX 6.8.3 Pro
Rate Control Mode: 1-Pass
Profile: Unconstrained
Quality Preset: 10
Bitrate: 2000Kb/s
Resolution: 856x482 16:9 Square-Pixel Format
Framerate: 24fps
Running Time: 9:56
Source Filesize: 160MB
256Kb/s 48KHz Stereo CBR MP3 Audio

Another little known secret is that it appears there are now 3 levels of YouTube video resolution. First is the default video that everyone gets to see. Second, one can click on the "Watch Video in High Quality" hypertext link directly under the video. And here's the secret, it appears to me, that some videos qualify to an even higher level of resolution which I believe to be 720 pixels. To get there, you can watch the video in high quality, then add: "&fmt=22" to the end of the HQ url in the browser. It doesn't work on every video because not every video is uploaded at the right settings, but it will for for some. So, that means YouTube is making 3 different videos when you upload them if they qualify.

The evidence can be seen on this video:

Video 1 at default quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5y0A9N1-E8

Video 2 at high quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5y0A9N1-E8 (It's the same url, but click on the blue hypertext link under the video for high quality)

Video 3 at 720 pixels: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5y0A9N1-E8&fmt=22

Video number 3 is delivered on my computer a little choppier, probably because it's a lot more data coming through the pipe. I've got a 16 meg download speed and frames were still a little sticky. I believe the purpose for this level of resolution is for services like videos shown on regular HD TVs through Apple TV which is delivered through iTunes and video podcasts.

This simple demo has me convinced that YouTube now makes 3 copies of your videos instead of one or two.

If you find the best upload settings, please comment. I'm very interested in suggestions!

Google Mobile App with Voice Search for iPhone - Available NOW!

Finally, after unexplained delays by Apple, the Google Mobile App with Voice Search is NOW here and available for download FREE in the iPhone Apps store or on iTunes Apps store. It became available at the very end of the day on Monday, November 17th, 2008.

For me, this is a big deal because it's so hard to dial and drive, now cars around me will have a much needed chance not to meet me after a fender bender.

It's super easy to use, just start the app, then bring the phone to your ear, when you hear the beep, say what you are searching for, then just look at the screen for the results. It's that easy.

I am completely jazzed about this new feature! Now, the iPhone just needs video.

How to Get Tons of FREE Traffic and Leads to Your Website

About two months ago, I was watching YouTube at 4 a.m. and I found a group of very average people getting extraordinary marketing results without paying a dime.

Enjoy my "Attraction Marketing" video here.

These marketers were using web 2.0 social media sites to market their businesses. They were making the most of all the traffic that is found on MySpace, Facebook and above all, YouTube.

One of the characteristics of their YouTube videos was that they weren't charismatic, but they were very sincere and straight forward. I trusted them in a very short amount of time.

They kept throwing out the phrase, "attraction marketing." They claimed a new day has dawn for many people that constantly have pressure on the to drum up new clients. They assured me that if I would expose my head and heart to the public on social media sites, that I could get leads calling me rather than me chasing down people in hopes of a sale.

These peaceful gurus shared that new age concept termed the "law of attraction" where we attract that which we a commited to. That which we are seeking is also seeking us simultaneously.

I can't speak of all the voodoo, but I've already been getting remarkable results after just a handful of videos. One has already gotten about 6,000 views which has lead to a bunch of flashlight sales.

Check it out my first YouTube video where I share my attraction marketing ideas.

Brad Fallon's "Stomping the Search Engines 2" Is Now FREE

4 years ago, Brad Fallon, world renowned SEO specialist, was interviewed by Internet marketer and film editor, Andy Jenkins about how to get to page one on Google thus creating tons of free

traffic to your website. That interview became an 8 disc audio CD course "Stomping the Search Engines" that sold like gang busters for $300 a pop. I am personally one of their customers and of the $30,000 I've spent on Internet marketing education in the last two years, I can testify that the $300 course was worth more than all the other courses combined.

Now, they have announced that they will be giving away their new "Stomping the Search Engines 2" for FREE! This time the course contains 7 DVDs including training from the top SEO specialist in America. This course now retails for $497, but if you take a free trial of their "Net Effects" magazine, then they will ship you the STSE2 for free if you'll pay for the shipping.

What's the gimmick. There is none, they simply want to expand their subscriber base for their new publication. Your first issue is free and as soon as you get it, you can cancel if you wish, but they hope that you'll be so blown away by the content, that you'll gladly continue your $40 a month subscription.

If you think, it will be pulling teeth to cancel your subscription if you choose to, then they show you in this video, their email address and phone number to cancel with no questions asked. Here's their video page: http://stse2.stompernet.net/

These men have a reputation of integrity and I believe them. I'm ordering the set today when they open the doors at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, September 3rd. Get yours too and it could change your life.

Also, check out their daily web update site called the "Freeline Report."

Spartanburg Home Repair Contractor

I've been a landlord of residential properties for almost a decade and I wanted to tell you about a local handyman at Spartanburg Home Repair in Spartanburg, South Carolina at 864-703-4004.

I've used many contractors over the years, but there is no one that I've called more than John Runciman. He's always rushed to get over to get things done even when he has a busy schedule. I'm always surprised after he's done a great job at how small the bill is. He seems to me about 30% less than others doing the same job and I appreciate it because I think I've called him to do a job for me about 25 different occassions.

He always invests in tools. He's like Tim Allen from TV's Home Improvement show in that he has tools to fix his tools. It's rare to see such a broad variety of repairs that one man can do. John has been able to fix anything I've ever asked him to fix. So, for handyman work or home improvement, I recommend John.

John's company van says Upstate Home Repair on the panels.

Should the Government Slap Google as New Evil Ads Hit YouTube.com?

Have you also been irritated at the evil Google ads that cover up 20% of the YouTube video you are trying to watch? The Google Evil Ads make me want to scream at the ones who perpetrated this over the top malady.

The problems with this concept are obvious. We, the users of Google, are coming to YouTube to see content produced by the public, so Google gets free content and traffic that they did not produce. Then, we the user have this pop up in our face taking up about 20% of our viewing area even though a 2 or 3 inch ad was to the right of the video. No, that's not enough for Google, even though we have made them two of the richest cats around in a short time. The billions and billions aren't enough for them, they have to push the envelope till they push us away. Even though they know that we hate forced pop ups, they do it because they can.

Google is apparently battling out having copyrighted content displaying on YouTube to begin with. When the courts see that Google is now superimposing an ad right across copyrighted material, how will it bode for their case? Thanks Google, we'd like to watch this content, but your overreaching greed make it a possibility that this we be taken away from the public.

Now, how will professional recording artists, publishers, actors and movie producers like Google making money running ads across content that Google doesn't pay royalties on? Is Google asleep at the wheel or just drunk on stupidity. In the photo above, one can see that this is a video that Gloria Estefan recorded but isn't getting paid a dime for it to run on YouTube.com. Google has ads everywhere on the page to begin with, but now they are blatantly stealing the royalties from artists without shame. How do you think Gloria Estefan would feel about Google making money off her recordings in this way? How can Google even fight for their right to host copyrighted material to their financial gain while the creator of the material gets hosed?

This reminds me of when the Google Checkout feature was added, only their own ads had a color logo in the Adsense ads when everyone else who was paying for an ad had to live with a boring text ad. Thanks again Google for taking advantage of those that pay your bills.

This blows my mind that Google would do something this offensive. What ever happened to their original model that Google will do no evil? Well, I think that went out the window a long time ago and it's too bad for the people that made them so successful.

Are Edenpure and SunTwin Heaters a Scam?

Like many of you, I received a convincing brochure about a cutting edge space heater that will pay for itself in one winter season with it's savings in electricity.

Like you, I was skeptical. I live in an older poorly insulated house so the benefits listed in the Edenpure and SunTwin brochure looked enticing.

The story was that some guy accidently laid a piece of cured copper near a heat sorce, then noticed that the cured copper continued to give off a soothing even heat even after the other heat source was extinquished. This man got his inventor cap on and decided to create a self contained portable heater with his new discovery.

He added quartz heating lamps inside a box that pointed to cured copper plates that would absorb their radient heat, then a fan would blow air past those plates, thus creating an even heat source with better efficiency thus saving the consumer money.

Is this true? I studied it a few days and read other people's thoughts on the product on the net and decided to go ahead and buy a couple of them because I like space heaters that direct a concentration of heat in my direction like when I'm in my office chair. I don't like to heat the whole house if I don't have to. I get cold feet in the winter so I like to be able to direct my heat in a precise way.

I bought one for $450 that carried the name SunTwin. This heater is super quiet and creates a cozy flow of lovely warm air. This heater is encased in a beautiful chassis of hardwood like furniture and it had wheels to slide it to where I wanted it's heat. It also has a handheld remote controlled thermostat.

The shocking surprise: the portable heater gave all the benefits short one, I couldn't back up their claims of energy cost savings. In fact, my electricity bill went up 15% from the previous year, even though we are having a mild winter in South Carolina in January of 2008. I can in no way support that this unit will pay for itself in one season. Sometimes, I only ran these Edenpure and SunTwin heaters without kicking in my whole house heat pump.

I will say that I like the heaters for other reasons. They are quiet, especially the SunTwin that is encased in wood, like furniture. The smaller Edenpure, that is boxed in plastic is almost twice as loud, but that works out fine for my bedroom creating white noise while I sleep. The other one, I keep in the den and it really fits in the decor.

The positive claims that I can support are that it gives a soft warm heat that over time will fill up a room with an even heat as compared to space heaters whose coils glow red hot and force out super hot air that rises to the ceiling immediately.

When I point the heaters directly at me, they don't make me yawn with sleepiness like ceramic and resistance heaters do that I buy at Wal-Mart. The theory is that the common heaters that glow red hot actually destroy oxygen in the air so that you immediately get sleepy in front of traditional space heaters. I do agree with this.

Another big selling point is their safety. I never have a fear with these SunTwin and Edenpure heaters causing a fire. In fact, I can pick them up anywhere and not get burned. The heating elements are deep within so not even a pet or child could knock them over to create a fire as far as I can see. I love that since I have 3 pets inside my house and I have always feared a fire with traditional space heaters that glow with red coils.

So, my evaluation of these SunTwin and Edenpure quartz heaters with cured copper internal plates is mostly positive, but I don't think they will pay for themselves as claimed in one season, but they do provide a beautiful comforting heat source. Even though I didn't save money, I do enjoy their heat. The heat they provide is a more even soft safe heat that doesn't make me sleepy when I sit close to them. In fact, I have one blowing at my back as I type this in my office in January.

I think the closest thing to the type of heat that these unique heaters are the oil filled radiator heaters that you can get at Wal-Mart. The reason I say that it that they don't burn the air with red glowing coils and they softly heat the room over a period of time through convection.

Bottom line for me on Edenpure and SunTwin quartz heaters- they produce a wonderful quality of heat and are considerably safer to use, especially around pets, but they have a 750 watt rating right on the smaller one and a 1500 watt rating on the SunTwin, so they probably won't pay for themselves in one season. So, if the safety features and the even heating without making you sleepy are worth it to you, then you'll love these space heaters. If you're just trying to save money, then I'd think twice.

2009 - a Year Later-

Now, I'm into my second season with the Edenpure and Sun Twin heaters. I still enjoy the quality of heat with both of them. They have proven safe and my cat sleeps on top of both of them often so they seem to be safer than those $30 to $60 ceramic space heaters that I used to use. Neither of these two heaters would be easy to knock over. I dare say that I don't believe either will ever get knocked over in my lifetime.

I still don't see any energy savings.

The larger Sun Twin for about $450 remains my favorite, but I started the season shipping it back to the company that sold it to me for repairs. I asked them specifically to replace the thermostat and said I'd even pay for it. The heater only had about 20 more days left to it's warranty when they mailed me a shipping label which they paid for. I went to UPS and shipped it off and about a week later it was returned to me. The invoice said free repair. The action they took was oiling the fan because it had a slow fan. I was ticked off! Why does a fan need oiling after one season anyway? Also, if it didn't fix the problem, then I was out of warranty.

To my surprise, they were correct and the heater has worked flawlessly for two months of constant use.

My 2009 bottom line is that they are wonderful heaters, but don't save you any money. If you like the other qualities enough to pay a premium, then they may be for you.

The qualities of heat they claim are:

-safer heaters- heating element run cooler and are deeper in the unit
-don't dry out the air because they don't get as hot
-don't take out oxygen from the air because they don't burn oxygen like coiled units
-they more evenly disperse the heat throughout the room because the heated air stays lower

I do like them, but I tend to buy expensive things for myself as I'm single with no kids. I've got $750 tied up in these heaters, so that would prohibit most reasonable households from buying them.

Here is an excellent review of them by Consumer Reports:

PayPerPost.com - My Story

I had a frustrating experience with http://www.payperpost.com/, but since they worked with me to resolve my issues, I felt comfortable removing the 2000 word posting.

Instead, I'll leave you with a few juicy bits below about how Google is chomping at the bit to destoy paid blog advertisers and the like. To read about it, check out the Matt Cutts blog, he has the inside scoop: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/how-to-report-paid-links/.

The big question is will Google try to destoy competitors through unfair business practices? There is a lot of evidence that they will. PayPerPost.com is a competitor of Google. There is evidence that Google is going to hurt a lot of people so they can keep their financial gravy train as if they didn't already have enough. My prediction is that Google will be hit with the same struggles that Microsoft has gone through when it comes to unfair business practices. Google will deserve everything the public and the regulators throw at them. Funny thing is, they won't change, it's inevitable as they appear to be drunk with there success and are getting wreckless.

It's like in the AdSense ads, Google was the only one that unfairly advertised their Google Checkout cart with colorful icons, everyone else had to stay with one color. When I saw that, I saw color all right....RED!

They have also started putting their Google Local before everyone else's natural listings. They are even paying people $10 per business entry to get every business in America listed. When they do, you can be sure they'll use it to control everyone to march like lemmings in lockstep.

I'll be writing a blog entry soon on exactly how Google is going to go after their competition and how & why it's going to backfire on them.

Subscribe to this blog because I'm going to be releasing a plan to fight back.

Apple Releases New Safari 3 Browser for Microsoft Windows

Browser Speed Comparisons - Apple's Safari 3 Leaves the Others in the Dust
Safari 3 browser now works with Microsoft Windows PCs! Not only does it work, but browsing is twice as fast as Microsoft's IE 7 browser. I just downloaded it and it's amazing how much faster pages pop up when surfing. It takes about 3 minutes to download a free copy, so why not check it out. One can have several browsers on their PC at the same time with no confict.

Also, the highly regarded Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta is available now as well for Windows, Macs and Linux based systems. This browser gets more praise than does the IE 7 browser, though I must admit the IE 7 browser is much more stable than any of their previos releases. Why not try them all. At least use Safari 3 for faster browsing and IE 7 when you're doing your banking as some financial portals insist you use IE 7 to do your transactions.

A couple of years ago, I might have recommended Opera browsers, but since they're the slowest of the top browsers, I can't see any reason you'd want to use it. It is a very clean browser, but too slow.

Go ahead and try a new browser, they are all free downloads.

Download the Safari browser click here.

Update: I have been using 4 browsers:

1. Opera
2. IE 7
3. Firefox
4. Safari

Safari may be fast but it makes some pages look odd, so in spite of the fact I was enthusiatic about it working with Window, I still think it's going to take more time before it displays a page as consistently as IE 7.

Firefox is great, I use it when I want the best security. For general surfing, I still use the IE 7 browser. I wanted to get away from it because it's a Microsoft product and I don't trust Microsoft with security, but IE 7 is leaps ahead of IE 6. So, my hat is off to Microsoft to my surprise.

New Thoughts: I've now been using the Safari browser for a few months now after I had written the announcements above. I prefer both the IE7, IE8 Beta and the Firefox over the Safari. The reason is that the browser rearranges the elements on many webpages making things confusing. For example, photos will appear on top of written words, as where, the page displays properly on the other browsers.

New Business Web Links Directory with 5 Deep Links and Social Bookmarking Feature

A friend of mine, Kurt Poser (shown here with his wife, Susan and son, Nick), and I launched a brand new human edited web links directory this week. The directory has many cutting edge features like a links bid auction for better visability, traffic and page rank. To create viral buzz for your site, we have included the major social bookmarkers right beside your anchored text link listing.

We have secured the domain names for every state & major city in the United States and every major country that trades with America. We will be bringing those directories on line in the near future as well. Those new directories will be announced on the http://www.glenwoodfincafe.com/ blog.

Many will be reassured to know that we accept up to 5 deep links. A normal link would be http://www.redhotspeakers.com/ and deep link would be www.redhotspeakers.com/HollyMannInternetMarketing.com.

Come and put your site up on the Business Directory of America. We will be getting tons of backlinks creating high page rank and traffic to boost your website's visability, so add your website to the directory today.
