I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the attorneys at Ice Legal may be the most aggressive and hard charging Foreclosure Fraud Fighters in Florida. When this whole system comes crashing down and when judges and the Florida Supreme Court put an end to the systemic abuses of the court process being perpetrated by the foreclosure mills, the attorneys at Ice Legal will rightly take their fair share of the credit.
Attached here is a must read Motion along with a copy of a transcript from a hearing held in a Volusia County Courtroom. The Motion lays out a very disturbing set of allegations…
This is a foreclosure action filed by WELLS FARGO BANK, NA (the “BANK”). The BANK is represented by Florida Default Law Group, P.L. (“FDLG”). On behalf of the BANK in this case, and on behalf of other clients in other cases, FDLG filed affidavits to establish that the attorneys’ fees it was allegedly paid were reasonable. The affidavits purport to have been executed by Lisa Cullaro, the appointed expert on attorneys’ fees. The notary who allegedly administered the expert’s oath and vouched for her signature was Erin Cullaro, a former employee of FDLG and now an Assistant Attorney General in the Economic Crimes Division of the Office of the Attorney General.
The public records request also revealed that Ms. Cullaro completed a “Request for Approval of Dual Employment” (From the Florida Attorney General’s Office) in which she certified that her secondary job notarizing documents “does not create a conflict of interest (as specified in Chapter 112, Part III, Florida Statutes) nor the appearance of impropriety…” Ms. Cullaro’s dual employment was limited to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 7:00 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. Defendants proffer that they will show affidavits executed on days other than those approved by the Office of the Attorney General and that travel records suggest that Ms. Cullaro would have not been present in Florida on the date and time that an affidavit was notarized.
Focusing just on Erin Cullaro, the sampling of her alleged signatures below, demonstrate remarkable differences. And while, she proffers that she has abbreviated her signature over the years, the sampling reveals that more than one “abbreviated” signature has appeared over her signature line.
Indeed, if the signatures are fraudulent, proof of the intent to defraud may well hinge on the fact that these signatures were on documents used as summary judgment evidence in a court of law.
In any event, not all the signatures in Defendants’ collection are from affidavits. Obviously, Defendants should be permitted to inquire as to the obvious differences in signatures purporting to be that of the witnesses, regardless of where those signatures were made.
So the allegations made in this Motion are that Affidavits are being submitted in courtrooms across the state and Ice Legal questions the veracity of those affidavits.
- They have compared the alleged signatures and do not believe the signatures were made by the person allegedly signing.
- They have compared dates and determined that the Affiant or Signer was not in the state on the date of the alleged signing.
- An attorney who works in the Office of the Florida Attorney General is executing documents that are being used to take homeowner’s homes from them.
- Allegations of foreclosure fraud permeate the entire foreclosure case file in the form of other questionable documents, affidavits and assignments.
And now the bombshell….Florida Default Law is fighting like bloody hell not to have these depositions taken….they’re filing Motion after Motion and have made it quite clear that they have no intention of ever letting these witnesses be sat for deposition.
What does it say about how deep this rabbit hole goes when attorneys are refusing to answer any questions relating to evidence they created and have filed in courtrooms across the state?
What does it say when attorneys are ignoring court orders to have their depositions taken after a judge has heard their objections and found them without merit?
What does it say about how many layers their are on this stinking onion when the Florida Attorney General’s Office is implicated in allegations of fraud on the Courts of this state?
Why isn’t the Florida Attorney General’s Office doing more to protect citizens from foreclosure fraud and foreclosure rescue fraud?
Read the Motion carefully and review your own files, if you see affidavits signed by the parties indicated in this Motion, forward that information to myself at weidnerlaw@yahoo.com or to Ice Legal.

I wonder if there’s any truth to this blog post regarding an investigation of Florida Default Law Group by the Office of the Florida Attorney General.

Conflict and Corruption much?
Of note, the Florida Attorney General, Bill McCollum is probably up to his eyeballs in all this!
Hey, isn’t he running for governor of Florida?

Many people have suffered on the backs of these fake assignments, P notes, mortgages, and affidavits, for so very long so to find them coming out of the AG`s office is a very nice thing. Now all the PSA have gone private and overseas, we have yet more work to do. The battle is still uphill, we have done better than when we first started out, but the same problems still exist.
Freddie Mac, Wells Fargo, and foreclosure lawyers (mills) are engaged in foreclosure frauds, extortion, as well as fraud upon the IRS. (*hyperlink below.) *This is what happened to me; however fraudulent bankruptcy court “lift stay” motions and foreclosure fraud filed by Louisiana lawyers are the norm!
Foreclosure mill lawyer filed a foreclosure case in the name of an entity which did not own my mortgage note. I filed court proceedings to challenge my home being taken by use of the identity of a defunct mortgage lender. In the process of that challenge, an AFFIDAVIT was entered into federal court records sworn to by the “successor” mortgage company (yet, the bogus foreclosure culminated). During litigations, most egregious and appalling things happened to me from courtroom judges and teams of Freddie Mac and Wells Fargo lawyers.
The salient things about New Orleans false foreclosures, is that false bankruptcy (“Lift Stay) and foreclosure pleading are deliberately false; Freddie Mac and Wells Fargo knowingly collude with foreclosure mills; neighborhood blights due to repeated ‘flipping;’ and filings of false IRS form 1099-A is common. Also, not only is the outcome illegal loss of one’s home, black listing from employment, humiliating invasions of privacy, persecutions, and more become afflicted on people who refuse to relent and cooperate with unlawful repossessions of their homes. There are many other documents, transcript excerpts, and pleadings posted on my website. See the entire facts @ http://www.lawgrace.org/2010/04/07/comments-foreclosure-on-louisiana-judge-reginald-badeaux-home-us-attorney-jim-letten-freddie-mac-wells-fargo-frauds-collusion-etc/.
Here is a direct quote overview found at the above-referred link:
“. . . July 20, 2004 Affidavit. It was filed by GE Mortgage Services, LLC, the “successor in interest” to GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc. This Affidavit proves Freddie Mac COULD NOT possibly have [lawfully] bought the Lurline Street property in July 2005 from defunct GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc; therefore, the Freddie Mac eviction of the occupants on August 25, 2005, was not lawful. The Affidavit also proves debt collector Hershel Adcock’s “SIMULATED” May 19, 2005 foreclosure auction of Lurline Street, accomplished via use of non-existent GE Capital’s identity, was absolute fraud! The affidavit effectively proves that: (1) Had a lawful foreclosure been in the first place filed, the successful bidder at Adcock’s auction could not have been defunct GE Capital, but the property deed that Adcock later recorded would have been in the name of GE Mortgage Services, LLC –if the foreclosure was in the first lawful, which it could NEVER be; and (2) it demonstrates that –because in Louisiana, foreclosure cases lists the collector’s name as the plaintiff, Adcock was able to himself bid on the property since no one was present except him, and then flip it to Freddie Mac. (3) The Affidavit also exposes the glaring LACK OF PURSUIT or CLAIMS for any legal rights successor, GE Mortgage Services, LLC might have had –in light of its attested Affidavit that it became the succeeding owner of the note for the Lurline property. (However, THERE DOES NOT EXIST AN ENFORCEABLE PROMISSORY NOTE for 4968 Lurline Street, due to the fact that Wells Fargo deliberately prepared a bogus, false loan modification document in the name of a non-owner of that Lurline mortgage loan!) *Federal law does require joinder of indispensable parties, such a “successor” to lawsuits. (4) Even further, the affidavit evidences impossible and fraudulent it was for Wells Fargo to file with the IRS a form 1099-A on which Wells Fargo falsely informed the IRS that Wells Fargo “acquired” the Lurline Street property on May 19, 2005. (5) Finally, if Wells Fargo was not intentionally committing Internal Revenue fraud and complicit in Adcock’s practice of real estate frauds, why did Adcock have the property deed recorded in the name of non-existent GE Capital Mortgage Services –and why was Freddie Mac’s purported July 2005 purchase of the Lurline property (and which Freddie Mac evicted the Lurline occupants) not purchased from Wells Fargo? The New Orleans Times Picayune newspaper real estate transfers section, reported that Freddie Mac paid an amount of over $86,000.00 to (defunct), GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc., for the purchase of the Lurline Street property! HOWEVER, THE FACTS POINT TO ADCOCK AS BEING THE MOST LIKELY RECIPIENT OF THAT MONEY, while Wells Fargo got its portion of money from filing Wells Fargo’s false form 1099-A, so as to receive tax write-offs and credits from the IRS.
ANY REPRESENTATION to Wall Street Investors by FREDDIE MAC and by WELLS FARGO that $$$$$$$$$ billion dollar losses are due to people defaulting on their mortgages should be weighed against the fact that in Louisiana, Freddie Mac and Wells Fargo needlessly pays to DEBT COLLECTION firms outrageous litigation costs for corporate lawyers to outmaneuver –and even persecute people who file court proceedings in opposition to contrary-to-law, as well as fraudulent foreclosures.
Has the Motion to strike the Affidavit of Christopher Spradling in the case against Annabel Montgomery been filed with the courts?
If so, has there been a ruling by the judge?
Are any court-filed documents available? I am fighting a Christopher Spradling Affidavit in Illinois.
There is wide spead fraud on the part of the banks and the mills. The banks did not want to spend the money to record these assignments in the public records so they now they are screwed. Now they are going back and trying to create these assignments using phony notarys that don’t exist. Or some of the mills are doing it. They have ruined the economy with their greed and we gave these criminals millions of dollars in bail out money.
