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

Horizon Home Loan Corporation, GMAC Mortgage, L.L.C., Homecomings Financials,

Midland Mortgage, Option One Mortgage Corporation, Saxon Mortgage, Inc., Suntrust

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

Servicers of the loans made to Plaintiffs by Lenders and are hereinafter referred to as

“Servicers” or “Servicer defendants.”

105. Defendants Aztec Foreclosure Corp., California Reconveyance Company,

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.

127. The lenders as referred to above and investors in mortgage-backed securities,

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

Plaintiffs’ homes.

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

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

creators and/or directors of MERSCORP, Inc., MERS, Inc. and/or members of the MERS

system, and, as to Defendant conspirators, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, GMAC Mortgage,

L.L.C., National City Mortgage, and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., have, through their

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

underwriting guidelines were inconsistent with underwriting guidelines previously

considered as standard in the industry and which previous underwriting guidelines

included consideration of factors which included, but were not limited to, the borrower’s

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.

177. The Defendants described in the preceding paragraph intended that the

Plaintiffs would rely on the representations related to their qualification on the loans.

178. All Plaintiffs reasonably relied and had a right to so rely on the

representations of Defendants that they were qualified to take out the loans, evidenced by

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.

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

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

transaction, it means that such corporation engaged in the act, deed, or transaction by or

through its members, officers, directors, agents, employees, or other representatives while

they actively were engaged in the management, direction, control, or transaction of its

business or affairs.

190. Beginning at a time unknown to the Plaintiffs, prior to 2004, and continuing

through at least the present, the Defendant co-conspirators engaged in a conspiracy to

unlawfully deprive borrower-homeowners of their interest in property in numerous states

through issuing predatory loans as described herein, and through securitization and

securitization of residential loans without regard for the rights of Plaintiffs, and others

similarly situated, by engaging in predatory and deceptive residential lending practices as

alleged in this complaint above; and

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).

(Emphasis added).

203. The times, dates, and locations of the various meetings and

communications among and between the conspirators are solely within the knowledge of

the conspirators and have not been made public by MERS or its co-conspirators.

204. In addition to the allegations made related to the shareholder, director,

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.

Franklin, a division of National City Bank, National City Bank, Countrywide Home Loans,

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

HSBC Mortgage Corporation, U.S.A., J.P. Morgan Chase acted as Servicers in the

conspiracy.

211. For the purpose of forming and effectuating this conspiracy, Defendants

and co-conspirators did the following things, among others:

a. The Defendants acting as Lenders described above systematically and

repeatedly violated Federal and state lending laws in order to originate mortgages, as

described in the previous claims for relief;

b. The Defendants acting as Securitizers knowingly and by agreement

purchased the unlawfully obtained mortgages from the Lenders;

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

Plaintiffs’ ability to obtain credit at a more favorable rate than before the decrease in

credit rating, the loss or anticipated loss of their Residences and other financial losses

according to proof, and Plaintiffs have incurred attorneys’ fees and costs in this matter.

an award of punitive damages against Defendant conspirators, and each of them.

219. Plaintiffs have been issued a Notice of Default or have been scheduled for a

Trustee’s Sale or are subject to notices of default pursuant to the Defendants’

220. Each and every Plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law to stop these

unlawful foreclosures and evictions without this Court’s intervention.

221. Plaintiffs will suffer irreparable harm from the loss of their homes and

Defendants will suffer nothing because no payments are owed to them on account of the

notes and mortgages and any foreclosure pursued by them will be and is and has been

unlawful.

SIXTH CLAIM FOR RELIEF

(Declaratory Relief)

222. Plaintiffs incorporate each and every paragraph of this Complaint as if fully

set forth in this claim.

223. Defendants have either proceeded with foreclosures against Plaintiffs or

threatened foreclosures against Plaintiffs for which Defendants are not owed any

payments, have no lawful right to foreclose and have unlawfully deprived or attempted to

deprive Plaintiffs of their homes and further have failed to notify the Plaintiffs of the

discharge of their obligations on the notes associated with their mortgages.

224. Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment against Defendants stating that

Defendants have violated Plaintiffs’ rights and none of the Defendants are the proper

parties to foreclose upon the Plaintiffs’ properties or persons’ similarly situated who have

MERS named as the beneficiary on their deeds of trust.

225. Plaintiffs have been required to retain counsel in this matter to protect

Plaintiffs’ rights and have incurred attorneys’ fees and costs in this matter.

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

conduct common to Plaintiffs and each class member. Prosecution of separate actions by

individual class members would create a risk of inconsistent or varying adjudications

which would establish incompatible standards of conduct for Defendants and/or

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;
