How Banks Are Committing Fraud

How Banks Are Committing Fraud, Part 2 > Atlanta Real Estate Investors Alliance (Atlanta REIA):

  • Constructive fraud, or 
    fraud involving material facts relating to the loan such as the terms of the loan, prepayment penalty or any other information which a borrower must know before loan is accepted.
  • Fraud or negligent misrepresentation – written or oral – made by the broker, loan officer, or notary which may have contradicted the terms of the loan documents in any way. 
  • Breach of contract
Another method of investigating a loan is a mortgage securitization audit.  This is a detailed report on the chain of title of the mortgage note.  This will disclose any violations of state trust laws and/or Internal Revenue Code.  Most importantly, a securitization audit could provide evidence that the party that purports to own a note may not be the actual owner or holder of the note.  This raises serious questions about who has the ability to foreclose on a delinquent note.
