similarly situated individuals who are at imminent risk of the loss of their homes due to
foreclosure by Defendants and/or who seek a temporary restraining order and
preliminary injunction against Defendants to prevent the imminent foreclosures and sales
of their homes by Defendants, through their counsel, Robert R. Hager and Treva J.
Hearne, allege as follows:
This case arises because the Plaintiffs were the victims of unlawful and wrongful
foreclosures and/or an underlying conspiracy to commit fraud that resulted in
foreclosures by the Defendants on the Plaintiffs’ homes or, the Defendants are threatening
in the near future to foreclose on the homes of the Plaintiffs. These foreclosures were, and
are, based upon a deed of trust and a note in each mortgage that are no longer held by the
same entity or party and are based upon deeds of trust that were flawed at the date of
origination of the loan because the Mortgage Electronic Registration Service (MERS) was
named as the beneficiary or nominee of the lender on the deeds of trust and because the
naming of MERS as the beneficiary was done for the purpose of harming the borrower.
The beneficiaries were never intended to be the lenders and now the servicer bank
Defendants declared the default on these loans even though the true beneficiaries have

not declared a default and have no further interest in the notes and, finally, the
obligations reflected by the notes executed by Plaintiffs allegedly secured by the MERS
deeds of trust have been satisfied with the result that there exists no obligation on which
to base any foreclosure on the properties owned by the Plaintiffs and the members of the
class. Defendants have attempted to foreclose and have actually foreclosed when they do
not have a lawful right to foreclose.
The bank REO Plaintiffs have been subjected to unlawful and wrongful foreclosure
of their residential properties and bring this action for emergency injunctive relief,
damages and other claims for relief in order to enjoin the Defendants who purport to have
acquired title at foreclosure sales on MERS and MERS member Deeds of Trust. Plaintiffs
who have been subjected to foreclosure seek damages for the known unlawful foreclosures
by Defendants on those fraudulent Deeds of Trust and on obligations that have been
satisfied prior to the foreclosure actions by Defendants complained of herein. Other than
the REO Plaintiffs, the remainder of the Plaintiffs are at imminent risk of losing their
homes because either (1) one or more of the Defendants has served upon those Plaintiffs a
notice of default and election to sell the Plaintiffs’ properties or (2) the Plaintiffs are
alleged by one or more Defendants to be in default and subject to foreclosure and loss of
their homes, and those Plaintiffs hereby seek emergency injunctive relief and damages.
Plaintiffs bring this action on behalf of themselves and all other persons similarly situated
whose homes have been fraudulently and/or unlawfully foreclosed upon by Defendants
on MERS and MERS Deeds of Trust and/or on obligations that were satisfied, each such
foreclosure having been commenced and advanced in furtherance of the conspiracy
pursuant to which every Defendant herein aided and abetted, and/or participated with
and/or conspired with the other named Defendants in the wrongful course of conduct or

Mortgage, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. dba America’s Servicing Company, and acted as

Cooper Castle Law Firm, LLP, C.R. Title Services, Inc., Executive Trustee Services, LLC,
National Default Servicing Corporation, Quality Loan Service Corp., ReconTrust
Company, and T.D. Service Company acted as foreclosing entities or trustees against the
residential property of the Plaintiffs and are hereinafter referred to as “Foreclosers.”
106. In the United States, home purchases are typically financed by mortgages or
loans that are secured by a deed of trust and a note which, when executed on behalf of the
same entity and held by the same entity as a “note and deed of trust,” entitle the holder of
the note and deed of trust to foreclose on the property of the borrower if the borrower is in
default without legal excuse or recourse.
GENERAL ALLEGATIONS
107. A reported 3 million foreclosures occurred in the U.S. in 2008. Foreclosures
to date during calendar year 2009 are at a higher rate than that which occurred during
2008, with 1 in 16 homes in the State of Nevada going into foreclosure during the first six
months of 2009.
108. From 2003 through 2008, the Defendants entered into mortgages with
deeds of trust and notes that were separated after the execution of the mortgage, the note
was sold to an investor who literally and actually provided the funds for the loan given to

the borrower. Prior to or immediately after the contract was signed by the borrower, the
note was funded by a party other than the originator or servicer of the loan.
109. Plaintiffs separately executed deeds of trust naming MERS as the beneficiary
and/or nominee of the beneficiary/lender.
110. Plaintiffs also separately executed notes payable to Lenders as alleged
herein. None of the notes contained any reference to MERS.
111. The notes and the deeds of trust require that payment be made to the
Lender, not to MERS.
112. The notes executed by Plaintiffs were separated from the deeds of trust after
the execution by Plaintiffs of those documents, with the note being transferred to
investors whose money had funded the loan taken out by the Plaintiff/borrower.
113. The Servicer defendants herein furnished none of the funding for the loans
but were merely transfer agents for money from the investors to loans taken by the
borrowers. Simultaneously with or immediately after the loan was taken out by the
borrower, the obligation reflected by the note was satisfied by monies provided by the
investor who then obtained ownership of and right to payment under the terms of the
note. These investors are the only parties to whom an obligation arose after the loans
were securitized, and are the only proper parties to later declare a default and to have a
right to direct a sale if the Plaintiffs did not make payments as required under the terms of
the note.
114. The Mortgage Electronic Registration Service was created by the Defendants
identified herein as co-conspirators in relation to the MERS system with the specific
intent that MERS, Inc. or MERSCORP, Inc. or MERS (referred to collectively herein as
“MERS”) would be named the beneficiary and/or as the nominee of the lender on the

deeds of trust which Plaintiffs were induced into signing. However, MERS was not a
nominee for the lender because the lender was an investor who had provided the funds for
the loan. This fact was known to MERS and the purported lender and the subsequent
assignee of any and all rights purported to have been assigned by MERS at the time the
note and deed of trust were signed by the Plaintiffs and at the time of each and every such
later purported assignment by MERS of any interest in the note and deed of trust.
115. The foreclosures complained of herein were initiated against Plaintiffs by
parties who have and had no standing to commence or maintain any foreclosure
proceeding, both by the express language of the deeds of trust which required that the
beneficiary/party owed the obligation declare the default and direct the sale, and by the
laws governing the commencement and advancement of foreclosure proceedings which
require the true beneficiary to declare such default and direct such sale.
116. The servicers of the loans, named as Servicer defendants herein, were
strangers to the purported loan transactions and which parties were and are unknown to
Plaintiffs and, moreover, did not fund the Plaintiffs’ loans and are not owed any of the
funds to be repaid by Plaintiffs, and do not stand to suffer any loss should they be
enjoined from foreclosing on the Plaintiffs’ homes or from selling the alleged REO’s at
issue herein.
117. The foreclosures named as Forecloser Defendants herein, on Plaintiffs’
homes complained of herein were initiated by Forecloser Defendants, who had and have
no lawful right to initiate, advance or maintain any foreclosure action against the
Plaintiffs or their homes.
118. All Defendants knew or should have known that prior to the time that the
loans were taken out by Plaintiffs at issue herein, the loans which named MERS on the

deeds of trust were securitized or intended to be securitized prior to the preparation of the
notes and deeds of trust reflecting each such loan.
119. Defendants also knew or should have known that the scheme employed by all
Defendants involved in the origination, aggregation and securitization of mortgage-
backed loans originated from 2003 through 2008 and secured by real property in the
United States included financial incentives which were designed to result in the loans
being written on terms which were likely or certain to result in foreclosure, and that the
scheme described herein included financial incentives designed to motivate appraisers,
mortgage brokers, lenders, aggregator banks and securitizing banks to steer borrowers
into loans they could not afford and could not repay so that the loans would go into
default and the Defendants involved in servicing, aggregating and securitizing those loans
could make yet more profits from default, foreclosure and selling the properties at or after
foreclosure.
120. The financial incentives mentioned in the previous paragraphs included
without limitation the hiring only of appraisers who were financially incentivized to
appraise properties at a value that would justify the loan requested, the payment to
mortgage brokers of higher fees for sub-prime and sub-sub-prime loans than for prime
loans and the use of novel and unprecedented underwriting criteria such as stated income
and 100% or more financing of the purchase price, and the purchase of loans from
lenders by aggregators and servicers of loans at more than face value if the loans were
sub-prime or sub-sub-prime and in particular if such loans also included an adjustable
interest rate and/or a pre-payment penalty.
121. All Defendants who originated, serviced, aggregated and/or securitized the
Plaintiffs’ loans knew or should have known at the time of those actions by Defendants

that the financial incentives described in the previous paragraph herein were not disclosed
to the investor or to the Plaintiffs/borrowers, and that the Defendants who originated,
serviced, aggregated and/or securitized the Plaintiffs’ loans also purchased credit default
swaps which were essentially bets that the Plaintiffs’ loans would fail, resulting in multiple
payments to those Defendants of the face amount of the loan, and knew or should have
known that fact was also concealed from the investors and Plaintiffs who were instead
intentionally misled by Defendants to believe that the Plaintiffs qualified for the loans
under residential loan underwriting standards previously used in the industry.
122. All Defendants who originated, serviced, aggregated and/or securitized the
Plaintiffs’ loans knew or should have known at the time of those actions by Defendants
that the more likely or certain the loan was to fail, the more likely that failure was to cause
the entire mortgage-backed security pool which included Plaintiffs’ loan to fail, and the
more profitable those events would be to Defendants.
123. Under the securities and federal banking laws, rules and regulations, the
investors and the borrowers were entitled to information regarding all of the profits,
payments, kick-backs, fees and insurance and credit default swaps related to the
transaction which included the investors providing the funds loaned to the borrower, and
the concealment of those facts by all the Defendants who originated, serviced, aggregated
and/or securitized the Plaintiffs’ loans was an intentional misrepresentation and/or
intentional material omission of fact by those Defendants for the purpose of using the
borrowers’ signatures on notes and deeds of trust to defraud the investors, the borrowers,
the insurers of loans, the issuers of credit default swaps and eventually the government
whom those Defendants, upon information and belief, falsely told that the Defendants

were in dire need of trillions of dollars in federal funds due to “toxic assets” being
allegedly on the books of Defendants.
124. The Defendants named as conspirators herein never owned any of the
Plaintiffs’ loans or the loans of others similarly situated naming MERS as beneficiary, and
the representations from September 2008, to the present, by the Bank Defendants to the
government that those Defendants were in dire need of government bailout funds from
the Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve due to defaults on mortgage loans
were intentional falsehoods designed to defraud the government and the American
taxpayers.
125. All Defendants participated in a conspiracy to cause Plaintiffs to enter into
instruments that would result in the foreclosure of their homes and to initiate foreclosure
on Plaintiffs’ homes without the lawful right to do so or to commence and advance
foreclosures against Plaintiffs with knowledge that the Plaintiffs had been deceived by
having not been informed that the loans they took out were designed and intended to
result in foreclosure and consequently more profits to the Defendants. As a proximate
and direct result, Defendants have been unjustly enriched by the payments of the
Plaintiffs on the notes and by the profits earned by Defendants from the declaration of
default, the commencement and advancement of foreclosure, and/or the foreclosure sale
of Plaintiffs’ properties.
126. The lenders and investors in mortgage-backed securities, the Defendants
Lenders and Securitizers previously named herein, have obtained bailout money from the
United States Treasury and the Federal Reserve in the amount of trillions of dollars for
the stated purpose of compensating the lenders and investors for losses sustained due to
the alleged default in on residential mortgage loans including those of Plaintiffs.

including, have used those funds to repay credit default swaps, to repay investors who
funded Plaintiffs’ loans and/or to settle the lawsuits of those investors against the
securitizing banks for fraud, including those Defendants previously named as securitizers
and servicers, with such use of those funds having extinguished the obligation reflected by
the notes, the right to collect on the notes, and the right to initiate foreclosures on
Plaintiffs’ homes.
128. Each and every Plaintiff has a deed of trust that states that the beneficiary
and/or beneficiary as the nominee of the lender is MERS, and each and every Plaintiff has
been or is likely to be declared in default by a party not entitled to declare the default.
129. The entities that are giving notice that they will foreclose on the homes of the
Plaintiffs are not MERS and are not the lenders that originated the deeds of trust and are
not the parties that funded the loans of the Plaintiffs.

139. Plaintiffs incorporate each and every paragraph of this Complaint as if fully
set forth in this claim.
140. An assignment of an obligation under a mortgage, the note, operates as an
assignment of the mortgage.
141. The assignment of the obligations or notes of the Plaintiffs to the investors by
way of mortgage backed securities resulted in a co-mingling of the notes and no interest in
the note or deed of trust was retained by the lender or by MERS as beneficiary or nominee
of the lender.
142. The obligations of the Plaintiffs on which the Defendants have declared a
default were discharged when the investors in the mortgage backed securities claims were
paid as a result of over-collateralization of the obligations and/or credit default swaps
and/or federal bailout funds and other monies paid to the investors who owned the notes
and obligations and/or to the Defendants or bank holding companies who disbursed the
monies in such fashion as to extinguish the obligations of Plaintiffs to repay the monies
they borrowed which are at issue herein.
143. Neither the investors in the mortgage backed securities nor any other entity
or person who had a right to payment from the borrowers or was a beneficiary under the
deeds of trust ever declared a default of the notes executed by Plaintiffs.
144. No true beneficiary under the deed of trust ever declared a default under the
note and deed of trust.
145. No true and no beneficiary under the deed of trust ever directed a sale of any
of the properties owned by Plaintiffs in which MERS is named as beneficiary or nominee
of the beneficiary/lender at issue in this action.

146. The servicers of the notes have no contract with the Plaintiffs, no investment
in the mortgage backed securities, and no right to declare a default on the note and the
allegations by the servicers including the Defendants herein in the notices of default and
election to sell the Plaintiffs’ properties. Therefore, any statement that “the beneficiary
has declared a default and directed that the property be sold” is not true, and the
Defendant servicers who have made that false representation knew or should have known
at the time each and every such notice was executed, mailed and recorded that those
allegations were false.
147. Foreclosure against the properties of the Plaintiffs cannot commence without
a written declaration of default and direction to the trustee to sell the property made by
the persons or entities to whom the obligation under the notes are owed.
148. After the debts on the notes were discharged to the investors, the
assignments of the deeds of trust and notes, the designations of substitute trustees and
substitute beneficiaries, the declarations of default and directions to sell the properties,
the notices of default and election to sell, the notices of sale and the foreclosure sales were
nullities and transferred nothing to the entities now seeking to foreclose on the Plaintiffs’
properties or claiming to own the Plaintiffs’ properties as bank REO’s.
149. No person or entity with any legal right to declare a default and direct a sale
on any of the Plaintiffs’ notes and/or deeds of trust naming MERS as beneficiary or
nominee of the beneficiary/lender ever declared a default and directed a sale of any such
property of Plaintiffs herein.
150. As a direct and proximate result of the unlawful and wrongful
commencement and advancement of foreclosure proceedings by Defendants complained
of herein, the Plaintiffs who have been subjected to such actions by Defendants have

suffered damages, including, without limitation, economic damages, severe and disabling
psychological and physical pain and suffering, humiliation, embarrassment, damage to
credit and other damages as alleged herein.
151. Plaintiffs have been required to retain counsel and expend costs to prosecute
this claim for relief.
SECOND CLAIM FOR RELIEF
(Unjust Enrichment)
(As to Defendants Securitizers and Servicers)
152. Plaintiffs incorporate each and every paragraph of this Complaint as if fully
set forth in this claim.
153. Defendants’ deceptive scheme as alleged herein unjustly enriched
Defendants, and each of them, to the detriment of Plaintiffs, and similarly situated class
members, by causing Defendants, and each of them, to receive monetary payments from
Plaintiffs and the class members and money to which Defendants were not entitled
because the Defendants did not fund the loans of the Plaintiffs.
154. Specifically, Plaintiffs and class members have been injured in the property
and right to peaceful enjoyment of their primary residence in a variety of ways, including
but not limited to: All borrowers who were targeted for and lured into the mortgages sold
by Defendants were handicapped in understanding the terms of those loans. This
constituted a misrepresentation that caused Plaintiffs to make their monthly payments
from the cash that represented the equity in their home to the Defendants. Moreover,
upon information and belief, the variety of additional and separate payments charged for
services and other items tangential to the loan were prohibitive. The result is that

Plaintiffs, and each class member, assumed financial burdens that they would not
otherwise have assumed, and paid Defendants funds to which the Defendants were not
entitled nor owed.
155. The loans made to Plaintiffs and to each class member were then
repackaged, reassigned, and/or resold, each with a margin of profit for the assignee/buyer
that would not otherwise have existed had Plaintiffs and all other members of the class
not been deceived by the original terms of the loan and/or the lack of disclosures as
alleged herein. Likewise Plaintiffs would not have continued to make payments on the
loans if the Defendants had properly disclosed the discharge of the obligations on the
notes to the investors.
156. Plaintiffs and each class member have paid or continue to pay an inflated
interest rate that, upon information and belief, would not have been agreed to but for the
failure to understand the documents and otherwise disclose the true terms and costs of
the loans, tangential services, and out-of-pocket costs.
157. Upon information and belief, Defendants, and each of them, retained and
continue to retain these ongoing and escalating profits to the detriment of Plaintiffs and
each class member, contrary to the fundamental principals of fairness, justice, and good
conscience.
158. Upon information and belief, all payments made to the Defendants servicing
the Plaintiffs’ mortgages are not due to the Defendants who are or were making demands
for collection.
159. The Defendants who have serviced the loans of the Plaintiffs did not fund
the loans, did not loan any money to the Plaintiffs, and are not holders in due course of
the notes of the Plaintiffs and have no lawful right to foreclose upon Plaintiffs’ homes if

Plaintiffs do not make the payments according to the notes that were executed by
Plaintiffs at the time the loans were received.
160. Upon information and belief, all sums advanced to Plaintiffs for loans by
investors have been repaid, settled, satisfied or otherwise are no longer outstanding.
161. Plaintiffs have no contract with the Defendants and Defendants hold no
contract rights that constitute an obligation from the Plaintiffs.
162. Accordingly, Defendants, and each of them, should be ordered to return all
funds obtained as a result of their deceptive scheme to Plaintiffs and class members.

PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., National City Corporation, National City Bank,
LaSalle Bank, and Merrill Lynch (hereinafter in this Third Claim for Relief collectively
referred to for purposes of this Third Claim as the “Defendant conspirators”), and each of
them, did knowingly and willfully conspire and agree among themselves to engage in a
conspiracy to promote, encourage, facilitate and actively engage in wrongful foreclosures
perpetrated on Plaintiffs as alleged herein and the actions of the Defendant conspirators
were taken as part of the business policies and practices of each Defendant conspirator in
participating in the MERS system.
165. The MERS system was known by Defendant conspirators as being used by
the Defendant co-conspirators named in the First Claim for relief to facilitate the wrongful
foreclosures complained of herein.
166. Specifically, the MERS system was designed to remove the need for
recordation of transfers of deeds of trust as alleged herein. This component of the design
of the MERS System facilitated the wrongful foreclosures complained of herein by making
it easier to transfer the purported beneficial interest in a deed of trust and to appoint a
trustee for the purpose of foreclosing on a property, despite the fact that the deed of trust
no longer provided security for a note as a result of the note having been separated from
the deed of trust as alleged herein.
167. The MERS system does not track the transfer of the note.
168. The MERS system does not track the identity of the holder of the note.
169. Upon information and belief, the Defendant conspirators are or have been

guidelines that disregarded the Plaintiffs’ ability to repay the loan and which were
inconsistent with underwriting guidelines previously considered as standard in the
industry and the actions of the Defendant conspirators were taken as part of the business
policies and practices of each Defendant conspirator in participating in the MERS system.
174. The Defendant co-conspirators knew or should have known that the MERS
system would be used to facilitate the origination and sale of loans such as the ones made
to Plaintiffs herein.
175. All Plaintiffs were given loans pursuant to decreased underwriting guidelines
which were created between 2004 and 2008 by, or created between 2004 and 2008 by
others and implemented by, the Defendants named as originators, and which

capacity to repay the loan, the borrower’s credit rating, and the value of the collateral
securing the loan.
176. All Plaintiffs were advised by the lenders who were acting for the lenders,
servicers and sercuritizers on each loan, defined herein, that Plaintiffs were qualified for
the loans described herein, although such representations were known to those
Defendants to be false, or were made without intentional or reckless disregard to the truth
or falsity of the representations.

their execution of the notes and deeds of trust described herein. Plaintiffs were damaged
by such misrepresentations and reliance on same as alleged herein.
179. The Defendant servicers made representations to Plaintiffs as to the amounts
of payments due under the loans, including that the payments were due, and the amounts
of the payments due, and the due dates.
180. The Defendant servicers knew or should have known that such
representations were false because the note had been discharged through the
securitization process or through the note holder’s receipt of monies from third-party
sources as alleged herein. Defendants knew or should have known that the
representations were material, as Plaintiffs would not have paid money to the Defendant
servicers without Defendant servicers having made the representation.
181. The Defendant servicers intended that the Plaintiffs rely on the
representations in seeking payment from Plaintiffs.
182. Plaintiffs did rely on such representations in making payments to the

have known were designed to result in foreclosure, which resulted in the declaration of
default and the foreclosure of the loans as alleged herein.

demand for mortgage-backed securities generated between 2004 and 2008.

Defendants MERSCORP, Inc. and MERS, Inc. for the specific purpose of MERS, Inc.
being designated as a sham “beneficiary” in the original deeds of trust securing those
loans, including the loan made to Plaintiffs and other similarly situated individuals by
Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. National City Bank and/or its division First Franklin; and
c. Defendant conspirators intentionally created, managed, operated and
controlled the MERS system with the unlawful intent and for the unlawful purpose of
making it difficult or impossible for Plaintiffs and other victims of such industry-wide
predatory policies and practices to identify and hold responsible the persons and entities
responsible for the unlawful actions of Defendant Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., MERS,
Inc., National City Bank and/or its division First Franklin and their co-conspirators.
193. Upon information and belief, Defendant conspirators, through creation of the
MERS system alleged herein, adopted and implemented residential lending underwriting
guidelines for use in Arizona and in other states which:
a. were intended to, and did, generate unprecedented profits for the Defendant
conspirators and their co-conspirators at the expense of Plaintiffs and other persons who
were fraudulently induced by the Defendant conspirators and their co-conspirators into
taking out residential loans that were known by the Defendant conspirators and their co-
conspirators, at the time the loans were originated, and
b. were likely to result in foreclosure on those loans and loss by Plaintiffs and
other borrowers of their homes, with reckless disregard and intentional indifference by
the Defendant conspirators and their co-conspirators of the likelihood of such foreclosure.
212. Removing real estate transaction records from the public record maintained
by the county clerks prevents oversight of real estate transactions by the public and by
public officials.

194. MERSCORP, Inc. informed its co-conspirators that using the MERS system
would remove transaction records from the public record.
195. MERSCORP, Inc. and/or MERS, Inc. have publicly stated the following:
a. “MERS eliminates the need to prepare and record assignments when trading
residential and commercial mortgage loans.”
b. “With the recording of the security instrument(s), MERS becomes the
mortgagee in the county land records and no assignments are required during a
subsequent sale and transfer of the loan between MERS members.”
c. “There is no dependency on the corporate name you use on closing
documents and the corresponding corporate name on the MERS System because the
MERS System is not the legal system of record of ownership of mortgage loans.”
196. Upon information and belief, the MERS system was created for the unlawful
purpose of hiding and insulating the brokers and originators of predatory toxic loans from
accountability and liability by creating an entity which simultaneously informed all
lenders who originated loans that named MERS as the beneficiary of the following:
a. MERS would never own or acquire any actual beneficial interest in any loan
in which it was named as beneficiary under the deed of trust, and that
b. MERS could be named as beneficiary for purposes of public notice and
notice to the borrower and would act in that capacity if so designated by the lender who
originated the loan.
197. Upon information and belief, the intent and purpose of the Defendant
conspirators and their co-conspirators in the creation, management, operation and
control of MERS was, without limitation, to make it impossible for the borrowers, their
attorneys, the courts, the government, and anyone other than the Defendant conspirators

who created and controlled MERS to identify the actual beneficial owner of any particular
loan or the property which was the collateral securing that loan until such time, if any,
that foreclosure action was initiated. As a result, Plaintiffs, and other similarly situated
individuals, were deprived of the right to attempt to modify their toxic loans, as the true
identity of the actual beneficial owner was intentionally hidden from Plaintiffs and other
similarly situated individuals.
198. MERSCORP, Inc.’s marketing materials also promise Members with
assistance with foreclosures. MERSCORP, Inc. and/or MERS, Inc. have publicly stated:
“MERS has assembled a Foreclosure Manual to provide a state-by-state guideline for our
Members to follow when foreclosing a mortgage loan in the name of MERS.”
199. Upon information and belief, the Defendant conspirators’ actions in
creating the MERS system, which was dependent on fraudulent and deceptive practices
that included, but were not limited to, making loans to consumers such as Plaintiffs in
created a system to unlawfully deprive Plaintiffs of their interest in their Residences when
the Defendants know that the obligations on the notes have been extinguished.
200. MERSCORP, Inc. and/or MERS, Inc. offered Members increased profit.
MERSCORP, Inc. has publicly stated:
a. “The MERS web site enables you to target directly your MERS® Ready
products and services to MERS members.”
b. “Commercial originators and issuers save hundreds to thousands of
dollars (in the case of cross-collateralized loans) in preparing and recording
assignments. Where the originator has not recorded a MERS as Original Mortgagee
(MOM) security instrument, the issuer saves the costs of assigning to the Trust by having
the originator assign to MERS.” (Emphasis added).

c. “It will reduce risk and generate more profits for lenders because the Notes
registered on it will be in electronic format. It shortens the timeframe between the
closing and the securitization of the loan, enabling the Note to move instantly,
creating faster funding.” (Emphasis added).
201. MERSCORP, Inc.’s rules and by-laws, to which MERS Members agree, require
the following:

and creator conspirators, the MERS system conspiracy consisted of:
a. The Lender conspirators who agreed to procure loans by means of violation
of state and Federal lending laws, as further described in the previous claims
for relief.
b. The Lender, Securitizer and Servicer conspirators who agreed to use the
MERS system unlawfully and in violation of state and Federal laws to deceive
homeowners and securities purchasers by misleading them to believe that the
conspirators had legal authority to foreclose when in fact, the conspirators do not
have legal authority to foreclose on loans which were made part of the MERS
system, as further described in the previous claims for relief.
c. The Securitizer conspirators who were aware of these violations of law
during procurement and agreed to purchase the loans knowing that the law had
been violated.
d. The Securitizer conspirators who, upon information and belief, packaged
and sold loans knowing that such loans were based on deeds of trust that had been
split from the notes, and based on loans that had been sold as part of the

securitization process before the loans were finalized with the borrowers.
Thereafter, the purported interest in the obligation, the note as evidence of the
obligation, and the security interest for the obligation were transferred multiple
times without recording the change in ownership of an interest in real property in
the appropriate county records. This was accomplished by the creation of the
private parallel record keeping service known as the MERS system, whereby
MERS, Inc. is named in the deed of trust which is supposed to be the security for
the underlying loan obligation. MERS is named as the nominee of the lender, but
not as the holder of the note or the actual lender. Rather, MERS is named as
beneficiary for the purpose of deceiving the borrower and the clerk’s office where
the deed of trust is recorded.
e. A securitization process that was based on loans that were made based on
residential loan underwriting guidelines that were designed to generate as many
loans as possible to fuel the securitization process to feed the demand for
mortgage-backed securities, the faulty and toxic nature of which loans was hidden
by the MERS system. As a result of MERS being named the beneficiary, and
through the processes described herein, the note and deed of trust are "split."
When the note is split from the deed of trust, then the note becomes unsecured and
a person holding only the note lacks the power to foreclose and a person holding
only a deed of trust suffers no default because only the holder of the note is entitled
to payment on it. The monetary effect of utilizing the MERS system, in addition to
the allegations set forth otherwise herein, was to hide profits and fees that were not
disclosed to the borrower or to the investor in the note, which, in some cases, upon
information and belief, were in excess of the principal value stated on the note.

f. The Securitizer conspirators who violated state and Federal securities laws
through their descriptions of the financial derivatives created by the conspiracy.
g. The Lender conspirators who agreed to supply loans to the Securitizers
despite knowledge that the Securitizers would sell them in violation of the law.
h. The Servicer conspirators who agreed to unlawfully foreclose on loans
despite the separation of the loan from the deed of trust which made the
foreclosure unlawful because the debt was no longer secured.
205. All of the conspirators agreed to the participation of the other conspirators
in their individual roles in the conspiracy. The loan files of each of the loans disclose the
legal violations and document that the Lenders agreed to purchase loans from third party
originators and to sell them to the Securitizers. The Securitizers agreed to purchase the
loans and pool them with full knowledge of the contents of the loan files. The Servicers
agreed to foreclose with full knowledge of the loan file for each loan.
206. All of the conspirators continued to agree to the conspiracy over the course
of thousands of transactions.
207. Defendants Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
GMAC Mortgage, L.L.C., and National City Mortgage acted as Creators of the conspiracy.
They created MERS to hide their own unlawful activity as well as the activities of the co-
conspirators.
208. Defendants Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., First Franklin, and Bank of
America, N.A. acted as Lenders in the conspiracy.
209. Defendants J.P. Morgan Chase, Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
Bank of America, HSBC Mortgage Corporation, U.S.A., GMAC Mortgage, L.L.C., PNC
Financial Services Group, Inc., National City Corporation, National City Mortgage, First

Bank, N.A., GMAC Mortgage, L.L.C., CitiMortgage, Inc., National City Mortgage, and

c. The Defendants acting as Lenders, Securitizers and Servicers utilized and
benefited from the MERS system as a means of preventing detection by law enforcement
or by the public and as a means of unlawful foreclosure to the detriment of homeowners;
d. The Defendants acting as Lenders and Securitizers, with knowledge and
agreement of the co-conspirators, utilized the MERS system in such a manner as to split
the promissory note from the mortgage or deed of trust and thereby destroy the note
holders’ security, nevertheless proceeding with unlawful foreclosure actions to the
detriment of homeowners;
e. All Defendants named herein as co-conspirators profited from their
respective roles in originating loans, selling them, and pooling their MERS registered

home loans together in large bundles which were sold and turned into financial derivative
instruments;
f. The mortgage securitization process became known in financial industry
parlance as “slicing and dicing.” The slicing and dicing results in a pool of mortgages
which have lost their individual characteristics but which have a high value to those who
create them;
g. The Defendants acting as Securitizers named herein purchased mortgages
from the Defendants acting as Lenders named herein for securitization;
h. The Defendants named as Securitizers herein sold the securitized and
pooled mortgages as asset backed financial derivatives with affirmative claims that
Defendants were unaware of any legal issues which would affect the value of the assets
backing the securities, which was untrue, as Defendants actually knew or should have
known that the mortgages were unlawfully obtained and subject to rescission, and knew
or should have known that the mortgages and promissory notes had been split and
therefore the note holder no longer had the right to foreclose, assuming that it ever did;
i. The Defendants described herein as Servicers unlawfully foreclosed on
homeowners’ properties. The Servicers misrepresented that they had the legal right to
foreclose, when, in fact, they did not. The Servicers’ foreclosures wrongfully deprived
homeowners of property;
j. All Defendants named as MERS members agreed to promote MERS, an
ostensibly lawful business, and to utilize MERS in an unlawful manner to deprive
Plaintiffs and those similarly situated of property.
212. The securitization process took distinct loans, deeds of trust, and mortgages,
and pooled them together in such a manner that they lost their unique identity. Hundreds

CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS AND
REQUEST FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION
226. Plaintiffs incorporate each and every paragraph of this Complaint as if fully
set forth in this claim.
Class Definition
227. Plaintiffs, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a), (b)(2-3), bring this action for
themselves and on behalf of a class of persons similarly situated under the provisions of
Federal and State law regarding plaintiff class actions.
228. The class is composed of the named Plaintiffs and all others who are victims
of the Defendants herein who originated, funded, serviced, securitized, sold, transferred,
insured, or guaranteed residential real estate loans in the United States from 2004 to
2008, and/or whose loans were serviced, securitized, sold, insured or guaranteed by
Defendants and who have not been informed by the Defendants that a discharge of the
note occurred, between October 2004 and present, and this class of persons was damaged
or is faced with risk of damage by the origination, servicing, sale, transfer, foreclosure,
sale, and/or acquisition of these loans. Excluded from the class are the Defendants,
including any parent, subsidiary, affiliate or controlled person of the Defendants and their
officers, directors, agents or employees, any judge or judicial officer assigned to this
matter, and members of the immediate families of any excluded persons. Numerosity
229. Upon information and belief, Plaintiffs estimate that the class comprises
not less than 125 individual members and the class is so numerous that joinder of all
members is impracticable. The members of the class can be identified and located using
information contained in the Defendants’ mortgage lending records.

230. There are common questions of law and/or fact common to the class,
including whether the Defendants are the proper parties to foreclose on the residential
properties of these Plaintiffs as alleged herein, whether any such violations constituted a
conspiracy to commit fraud or wrongful foreclosure and/or whether Defendant’s conduct
resulted in unjust enrichment to them and to the detriment of the members of the class.
Also common to the class is the issue of whether the named Defendants acted as
conspirators in committing fraud in creating, operating and using the MERS system as
alleged in the Conspiracy to Commit Fraud in the creation, operation and use of the
MERS System Claim for Relief set forth above and whether the Defendants failed to give
notice of the discharge of the obligations under the notes to the borrowers who are
members of this class, so that these borrowers knew that no further obligations existed.
Typicality
231. Plaintiffs’ claims are typical of those of the members of the class. Plaintiffs
and the class members were subjected to the same kind of unlawful conduct and the
claims of Plaintiffs and the class members are based on the same legal theories.
Fair and Adequate Representation of Class
232. Plaintiffs will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class Plaintiffs
represent. Plaintiffs’ interests do not conflict with the interests of the class, and Plaintiffs
intend on prosecuting this action vigorously.
233. Plaintiffs have retained experienced counsel qualified in class litigation and
counsel and is competent to assert the interests of the class.
Rule 23(b) Requirements
234. The unlawful acts of Defendants, as alleged herein, constitute a course of

substantially impair or impede the ability of the individual class members to protect their
interests.
235. Injunctive and/or declaratory relief to the class is appropriate because, upon
information and belief, Defendants, and each of them, have acted or refused to act on
grounds generally applicable to the class.
236. Questions of law and/or fact common to the class members, including the
issues identified above, predominate over questions affecting only individual class
members, and a class action is superior to other available methods for fair and efficient
adjudication of the controversy. Class action treatment will allow a large number of
similarly situated individuals to simultaneously pursue their common claims in a single
forum in an efficient manner, without unnecessary duplication of effort and expense that
would be required if numerous individual actions were pursued.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs pray this court enter an order providing relief as follows:
1. For an award of damages against Defendants, and each of them, on the
Plaintiffs’ state law claims, whether general, special or punitive as alleged above, in an
amount to be shown at trial;
2. For an award of attorneys’ fees and costs as provided by law;
3. For an order of restitution on behalf of Plaintiff and class members;
4. For a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent
injunction on behalf of those Plaintiffs that have sought a separate motion for temporary
restraining order, and MERS, in addition to each and every of their respective officers,
agents, employees, servants, and attorneys, and those persons in active concert or
participation with any of them or each of them, as specifically alleged above from
transferring any interest in the subject properties, from proceeding with any foreclosure
action as to any of the Plaintiffs’ residences and/or proceeding with any collection action
against the Plaintiffs, and from transferring any interest and/or proceeding with
foreclosure actions against the residences of similarly situated class members;
