New York sues banks over electronic mortgage system


www.reuters.com
Schneiderman filed the lawsuit against Bank of America Corp (BAC.N), Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) and JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) in New York state court in Brooklyn.

The lawsuit is over the banks' use of MERS, the Mortgage Electronic Registration System the industry created in the mid-1990s to track the ownership and servicing of residential mortgage loans.

Schneiderman claims the system is plagued by inaccuracies. The lawsuit also names MERS and its parent as defendants.

This is 2012. They didn't know in the 90's how this was going to operate? They are just now finding out how much they got screwed out of? Who is actually in charge of MERS? Please don't say "the mortgage industry". There has to be a department, a name. Is this in operation in all states? Some states? Are all banks partaking of the MERS program? If not, why?

It is in all states. As far as I know all mortgage lenders participate. It was created by the mortgage industry. As far as I know, no one is in charge or accountable.

Yes the mortage industry knew how it would work. They just never told anyone outside the industry what they were doing and how it would affect the system.
