Consideration is being presented with something of value in a trade for another thing of value.
When you take out a mortgage,your house is used as consideration.
Banks typically have 3% of their assets in cash in order to meet customer needs. Since 1960, banks have been allowed to use this “vault cash” to satisfy their reserve requirements. Today, bank reserve requirements have fallen to the point where they are now exceeded by vault cash, which means lowering reserve requirements to zero would have virtually no impact on the banking system. US banks are already operating free of any reserve constraints.

Fractional Reserve Banking
Let’s see how the fractional reserve process works, in the absence of a central bank. I set up a Rothbard Bank, and invest $1,000 of cash (whether gold or government paper does not matter here). Then I "lend out" $10,000 to someone, either for consumer spending or to invest in his business. How can I "lend out" far more than I have? Ahh, that’s the magic of the "fraction" in the fractional reserve. I simply open up a checking account of $10,000 which I am happy to lend to Mr. Jones. Why does Jones borrow from me? Well, for one thing, I can charge a lower rate of interest than savers would. I don’t have to save up the money myself, but simply can counterfeit it out of thin air. (In the nineteenth century, I would have been able to issue bank notes, but the Federal Reserve now monopolizes note issues.) Since demand deposits at the Rothbard Bank function as equivalent to cash, the nation’s money supply has just, by magic, increased by $10,000. The inflationary, counterfeiting process is under way. The nineteenth-century English economist
Thomas Tooke correctly stated that "free trade in banking is tantamount to free trade in swindling."

It is coming to light,finally,that people are being sold something and paying consideration toward it's ownership,without EVER really being able to own that which they are paying for.
The problem runs much deeper than the banking system.
I look forward to the implosion,I don't own anything anyone else holds an interest in.
Except my body.
But wait..............
just remember who caused this banksters and politicians
Incredible as it sounds, civil asset forfeiture laws allow the government to seize property without charging anyone with a crime...
Under civil asset forfeiture laws, the simple possessoin of cash, with no drugs or other contraband, can be considered evidence of criminal activity.
"Even if you're a law-abiding citizen who's never been convicted of a crime, local police are allowed to confiscate your property and money and keep up to 80 percent of it for themselves, with the legal stipulation that this windfall be spent only on programs likely to result in additional confiscations where the police can keep up to 80 percent of the booty for themselves,"
"Civil asset forfeiture has allowed police to view all of America as some giant national K-Mart, where prices are not just lower, but non-existent — a sort of law enforcement 'pick-and-don't-pay.'"
—U.S. Representative Henry Hyde,

What does all this mean?
People who purchased homes they can't afford have and created this foreclosure problem are going to try and get their homes for free?
I hate the things the banks do but seeing people cheating the system at the cost of all the taxpayers in America upsets me even more.
Just like the auto industry, Wall Street, and everyone other person or group who made poor financial decisions, they need to deal with it. Your mistakes should not cost me money.
I am not rich, lower middle class to be specific, and nobody is bailing me out. I have not stopped paying my rent and I am not trying to get my home for free and I don't think anyone else should either.
Personally I think anyone attempting to seek a free title to their home is going to end up losing when it is said and done.

I think the only way this can be "saved" is to pass a special law.
Somehow i just hope the whole banking and housing systems collapse.

I laugh out loud at the fact, you feel your opinion repeated somehow converts it to fact!
Originally posted by OutKast SearcherI don't think this is a big issue right now...in fact I don't think it is an issue at all.
Originally posted by OutKast SearcherThe only reason this is getting any attention because some houses being foreclosed on have gone through foreclosure before the bank actually had the note in hand...doesn't mean they never got the note...they just went ahead with the process before properly getting it.
There is no epidemic of missing mortgage notes...people need to calm down.
