The gist: industry folks are getting really nervous that all this robo-signing and document fraud could infect the entire housing finance ecosystem.
She cites Georgetown Law Prof Adam Levitin who recently went on a Citigroup call to discuss the issue with investors.
Here's what he tells Olick about a possible nightmare scenario as it pertains to regular mortgage situations -- not just foreclosures:
The mortgage is still owed, but there's going to be a problem figuring out who actually holds the mortgage, and they would be the ones bringing the foreclosure. You have a trust that has been getting payments from borrowers for years that it has no right to receive. So you might see borrowers suing the trusts saying give me my money back, you're stealing my money. You're going to then have trusts that don't have any assets that have been issuing securities that say they're backed by a whole bunch of assets, and you're going to have investors suing the trustees for failing to inspect the collateral files, which the trustees say they're going to do, and you're going to have trustees suing the securitization sponsors for violating their representations and warrantees about what they were transferring.
If this were to come to pass -- and plaintiffs lawyers will certainly be eager to show that their clients were paying the wrong mortgage holders -- the value of all instruments (including the performing ones) could plummet.
Your signature creates the authority for the FED to print the "money" FOR YOU, TPTB steal it and then tell you that you owe THEM with interest....... So how do the rich get richer and we get dumber........, by our own ignorance and stupidity. Stop feeding the machinations.
If in your example...you loan me 10k, and I agree to pay you back, and I agree that you can sell that loan to someone else and I will pay them back, and that you have to notify me if you sell it....and you sell it and notify me, then they sell it and notify me, then so on and so on...then I should already be paying Bob. And in your example...it's not that the banks don't have the notes...it is just that it takes a while to locate it. Big deal.
Take responsibility for your actions.
Some of the most frank evidence on banking practices was given by Graham F. Towers, Governor of the Central Bank of Canada (from 1934 to 1955), before the Canadian Government's Committee on Banking and Commerce, in 1939.
Q. But there is no question about it that banks create the medium of exchange?
Mr. Towers: That is right. That is what they are for... That is the Banking business, just in the same way that a steel plant makes steel. (p. 287) The manufacturing process consists of making a pen-and-ink or typewriter entry on a card in a book. That is all. (pp. 76 and 238) Each and every time a bank makes a loan (or purchases securities), new bank credit is created — new deposits — brand new money. (pp. 113 and 238) Broadly speaking, all new money comes out of a Bank in the form of loans. As loans are debts, then under the present system all money is debt. (p. 459)
Q. When $1,000,000 worth of bonds is presented (by the government) to the bank, a million dollars of new money or the equivalent is created?
Mr. Towers: Yes.
Q. Is it a fact that a million dollars of new money is created?
Mr. Towers: Yes. (p. 286)
Q. Will you tell me why a government with power to create money, should give that power away to a private monopoly, and then borrow that which parliament can create itself, back at interest, to the point of national bankruptcy?
Mr. Towers: If parliament wants to change the form of operating the banking system, then certainly that is within the power of parliament. (p. 394)
With two-thirds of everyone's personal income taxes wasted or not collected, 100 percent of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the Federal debt and by Federal Government contributions to transfer payments. In other words, all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services which taxpayers expect from their Government www.uhuh.com...
In 1976 A typical American CEO earned 36 times as much as the average worker. By 2008 the average CEO pay increased to 369 times that of the average worker. timelines.ws...
When new money is created it does not appear magically in equal percentages in all people's bank accounts or under their mattresses. Therefore money spreads unevenly, and this process has varying effects on individuals, depending on whether they receive early or late access to the new money
It is these losses of the groups that are the last to be reached by the variation in the value of money which ultimately constitute the source of the profits made by the bankers and the groups most closely connected with them. Mises on Money

I don't know why anyone would...but just in case...PLEASE people...DON'T listen to the OP.
Because once they find the original note...you will be defaulted...and trust me...they WILL find the note. They may not have it on hand to show you right away...but please please please don't think that means you don't have to pay your mortgage.
OP...you are dangerous...because you spread misinformation.

If they don't have the note, it is highly unlikely they will be able to produce it at some future date.
Bank of America Corp., the nation’s largest bank, is stopping sales of foreclosed homes in all 50 states as it reviews potential flaws in foreclosure documents. The company had previously said it would only stop such sales in the 23 states where foreclosures must be approved by a judge. The move comes amid evidence that mortgage company employees or their lawyers signed documents in foreclosure cases without verifying the information in them. “We will stop foreclosure sales until our assessment has been satisfactorily completed,” company spokesman Dan Frahm said in a statement. “Our ongoing assessment shows the basis for our past foreclosure decisions is accurate.”
Actually, you got it backwards.
The BORROWER borrowed money "on their honor" that they will pay the money back, and the bank lent it to them on their word and the collaterol of their house. The bank was honorable in making the loan.
The BORROWER is in dishonor by not repaying the mortgage, lent to them in good faith by the bank. The Bank is holding up "their honor" by foreclosing on the home, which is what they told the borrower would happen if the loan wasn't repaid, as until the loan is repaid, the bank owns the home as collaterol.
