I just came across this and made me sick.

NEW YORK (AP) — Counties across the United States are discovering that illegal or questionable mortgage paperwork is far more widespread than thought, tainting the deeds of tens of thousands of homes dating to the late 1990s.
The suspect documents could create legal trouble for homeowners for years.
Already, mortgage papers are being invalidated by courts, insurers are hesitant to write policies, and judges are blocking banks from foreclosing on homes. The findings by various county registers of deeds have also hindered a settlement between the 50 state attorneys general who are investigating big banks and other mortgage lenders over controversial mortgage practices.
The problem of shoddy mortgage paperwork, which comprises several shortcuts known collectively as "robo-signing," led the nation's largest banks, including Bank of America Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo & Co., and other lenders to temporarily halt foreclosures nationwide last fall.

Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how popular it remains?

Thanks for the link. Always like to keep an eye on the pirates and thieves overseeing our little plantation we call the US.

there was a recent televesion special on this (CNBC, I believe...)...unbelievable what the banks are doing. Some homeowners are taking the banks to court over this fraud and WINNING.

Banks make mistakes big news.

I'm buying two lots off a house now, three lots total one has the house on it. The bank screwed up and only leaned one lot, not the house and other lot. So in theory the home owner could sell off the other lot and house and leave the bank hanging.
