BOMBSHELL Bankster Bonanza – Florida Supreme Court Kills Foreclosure Mediation!
Author: Matthew D. Weidner, Esq.
The banksters follow the rules they want, ignore the ones they don’t like, then just play games and make the pursuit of justice of impossible…..their latest victory>>>>>>>
In Florida, after years of study and work, the Florida Supreme Court initiated a groundbreaking, fairness-provoking program that sought to level the playing field and force the banks who were bailed out by the American people to deal in good faith, but the banks of course are not in the habit of dealing in good faith with their benefactors, instead……
THE BANKSTERS JUST GOT FLORIDA’S MANDATORY FORECLOSURE MEDIATION CANCELLED!
True, mediation was a total failure, but this was largely the plan of the banksters from the beginning…..withhold information, flaunt and violate the rules, thumb your nose at court orders and authority and generally continue to abuse the taxpayers that bailed you out and saved you.
But the banksters had better be careful what they’ve asked for….there are going to be Chief Judges in circuits all across this state who are going to push for a mediation program that is more effective and provides a more level playing field. I’m certain that good judges, who see the value of fair play, will take this as an opportunity to force fair play and integrity on players who understand neither….
Citizens must rise up and demand that justice and fairness prevail……

PALM BEACH POST- DEATH PANEL VOTES TO EXECUTE FORECLOSURE MEDIATION
Author: Matthew D. Weidner, Esq.
The banks don’t want it….and they make the rules….
The Florida Supreme Court should end its landmark mandatory foreclosure mediation program, a judicial committee concluded Friday.
Despite acknowledging the state’s foreclosure crisis is ongoing, the counsel of five judges and a court administrator said obstacles including homeowner mistrust of the mediation program and lender resistance marred its success.
Stunning Violations of Fundamental Rights- Banks Breaking Into Homes…
Author: Matthew D. Weidner, Esq.
I am increasingly fielding calls and emails where lenders have kicked down doors, changed locks and terrorized homeowners….all under the premise that they were “securing” or “winterizing” property. The fact that this practice is occurring across this country should be terrifying to every single citizen–whether you are involved in foreclosure or not.
Let me make sure the facts and the law is very clear here…..no person….noone…has any right to trespass on another’s property and they certainly do not have the right to commit one of the most serious property crimes…burglary….without an order signed by a judge that gives the person a right to enter that property. The thing that terrifies me most about this is law enforcement is turning a blind eye to this phenomena…incorrectly asserting that such actions are civil matters not actionable by law enforcement. This phenomena represents the latest and one of the most troubling example of the fundamental break down in basic rights.
PLEASE HELP ME COLLECT EXAMPLES OF THIS PHENOMENA. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO IS IMPACTED BY THIS CRIME TO CONTACT LAW ENFORCEMENT AND DEMAND THAT THEY INVESTIGATE THE CRIME THEN FORWARD THE REPORTS TO ME.
I recognize that this may be an uphill fight and that you may have to work hard to convince law enforcement that this is in fact a crime but I implore anyone who is affected by this to insist that these crimes be reported.
WHAT KIND OF A COUNTRY DO WE LIVE IN IF WE ARE ALLOWING JACK BOOTED THUGS TO KICK DOWN ANY DOOR THEY PLEASE WITH NO FEAR OF PROSECUTION?
What does this say about law enforcement and the courts if they will stand idly by and allow these crimes to continue unpunished?

Mortgage Modifications and Mediation Agreements- Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing?
Author: Matthew D. Weidner, Esq.
I’ve frequently posted comments and figures which document what a dismal failure the modification efforts have been….under the HAMP program, the federal government has set aside $75 billion dollars and we’ve gotten fewer then 180,000 modifications.
Having said that, getting a modification may be worse for the consumer in the long run
than not getting one.
Homeowners and advocates need to think long and hard before agreeing to any sort of modification. What we’re seeing across the board and in many cases is that lenders simply cannot produce the basic paperwork and evidence they need in order to complete a foreclosure. Rather than try and correct these paper deficiencies in legally permissible ways (although in some cases, there may be no way to correct these fatal flaws), the lenders and their agents are papering the files in fraudulent and impermissible ways that often leads to the case being dismissed. Most of my residential foreclosure cases are now either stalled at the Motion to Dismiss stage or they have been dismissed and the case not refiled after a Motion to Dismiss based on the issues described above.
Mortgage Modification- How The Wolf Gets in Your Door
Some of the initial modification agreements had clear terms and conditions that were relatively favorable to homeowners. The agreements I’ve seen lately however, turn the tables and have the homeowner giving away many of the important rights and defenses I can use to defend their case in foreclosure. Put simply, buried in the modification agreement are terms to the effect that the homeowner agrees and consents that the new document they sign is evidence that the lender has the right to foreclose. I suppose if the modification were a great deal for the homeowner, it might make sense to sign the agreement, but I have yet to see any modification that was so desirable that it made sense to trade important rights for.
When mediations start in wide scale across Florida, there will be a real push to sign new agreements. It will be more important than ever for homeowners and advocates to be aware of this issue and not give up any important rights as part of any agreement.
