U.S. v. Bartram: Appellate court guts five-year limitations law

This effectively removes all limits on the filing of a new foreclosure action, no matter how many times the case has been previously dismissed

This decision has a critical impact for homeowners who have had prior foreclosures dismissed, and though they were safely beyond the five-year mark. This new decision means the bank does get to refile, and homeowner who previously though they were safe may not be. However, initial analysis shows the opinion is limited to the application of one particular subsection of the statutes, and others exist that may offer relief

11th Cir Rules TCPA Allows Prior Express Consent Through Intermediaries, Hobbs Act Precludes District Court Challenge to FCC Rulings

2015-02-08T15:20:00.000-08:00

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit recently held that the TCPA allows callers to obtain consent through intermediaries.

The Court also held that a 2008 FCC Ruling interpreting the “prior express consent” defense applies to all creditors and debt collectors, including medical debt collectors, when calling wireless telephone numbers.

In addition, the Eleventh Circuit held that, pursuant to the Hobbs Act, the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider the validity of the 2008 FCC Ruling.

Fla 1st Dist App Ct Rules Prior Servicer's Records Not Properly Admitted Into Evidence

2015-02-08T12:36:00.001-08:00

The Florida District Court of Appeal, First District,reversed a trial court’s final judgment of foreclosure, and remanded for dismissal of the action for lack of prosecution.

In so ruling, the Court held that the successor servicer’s witness offered only general knowledge of ordinary mortgage practices to support the prior servicer’s payment history records, which was insufficient to support the admissibility of those records.

The Court also held, given a lack of record activity at all times material, combined with the mortgagee’s predecessor in interest’s failure to file a statement of good cause prior to the hearing on the borrower’s motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution, that the relevant Florida Rules of Civil Procedure mandated dismissal of the action upon remand.

Florida App Ct (3rd DCA) Holds New Foreclosure Action Time-Barred, But Mortgage Lien Not Extinguished

2015-02-08T12:31:00.002-08:00

The Third District Court of Appeal, State of Florida, affirmed a trial court’s ruling that a foreclosure complaint was time barred because the statute of limitations started to run when the loan was accelerated in connection with a prior foreclosure that was involuntarily dismissed without prejudice.

However, the Court reversed the trial court’s determination that a mortgage lien becomes null and void once the statute of limitations expires.

US Sup Ct Rules TILA Only Requires Written Notice of Rescission w/in 3 Yrs of Consummation, No Lawsuit Required to Exercise Right of Rescission

2015-02-08T12:29:00.000-08:00

The U.S. Supreme Court recently held that a borrower exercising his right to rescind under the federal Truth in Lending Act only needs to provide written notice to the lender within the 3-year period under 15 U.S.C. 1635(f), and does not need to file a lawsuit within that period in order to exercise the right to rescind.

http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/13-684_ba7d.pdf

On February 23, 2007, the borrowers refinanced the mortgage on their home. Exactly 3 years later, on February 23, 2010, the borrowers mailed a letter attempting to rescind the loan.

The lender responded to the rescission letter on March 12, 2010, refusing to accept the rescission as valid. The borrowers filed suit in U.S. District Court on February 24, 2011, four years and one day after the loan closed, seeking a declaratory judgment of rescission and damages under the federal Truth in Lending Act.

The District Court entered judgment on the pleadings for the lender, ruling that a borrower must file suit within 3 years of the date the loan was consummated in order to exercise his right to rescind the loan under TILA, 15 U.S.C. 1635(a) and (f). The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, and the borrowers appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Eighth Circuit’s reliance on Kieran v. Home Capital, 720 F. 3d 721, 727-728 (2013), which held that unless a borrower has filed suit for rescission within 3 years of the transaction’s consummation, section 1635 (f) extinguishes the right to rescind and bars relief, was error.

The Court then turned to 15 U.S.C. 1635(a), which explains how the right to rescind needs to be exercised. Relying on the statutory text that a borrower has the right to rescind “by notifying the creditor, in accordance with regulations of the Board, of his intention to do so”, the Court held that as long as the borrower gives written notice within 3 years after the transaction was consummated, rescission under TILA is timely and the statute does not also require the borrower to sue within 3 years.

Turning to TILA section 1635(f), the Court clarified that it governs when the right to rescind must be exercised, but says nothing about how the right is exercised.

Reversing the Eighth Circuit’s judgment and remanding the case for further proceedings, the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that because the borrowers mailed their written notice of intent to rescind within 3 years after their loan was consummated, that is all they needed to do to exercise the right under TILA and the trial court erred in dismissing the complaint.

How to Find Records on Failed Banks

2014-07-19T14:51:00.000-07:00

First place to start:
http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/banklist.html

If the failed bank was regulated by the State, check with the State’s financial/banking office for stored records. In Florida anyway, that would be through the office of the Chief Financial Officer, an elected Cabinet position under whom someone is appointed to oversee state regulated banking institutions.
