Rick Scott is officially one of this country’s most despised politicians. And he’s coming out swinging against the rights of Flordians to have their disputes heard by elected judges. Not surprisingly, Rick Scott and the ReTHUGlicans are coming out in favor of the criminal banks in the upcoming battle royale over Fraudclosure in Florida.
WAKE UP PEOPLE, TIME TO GET MOTIVATED, TIME TO STAND UP AND FIGHT AGAINST THE WHITE COLLAR CRIMINAL OLIGARCHY THAT RULES THIS STATE!
From the St. Petersburg Times:
Gov. Rick Scott, House Speaker Dean Cannon and Senate President Mike Haridopolos all say they are interested in considering legislation to change Florida laws so judges won’t have to referee foreclosures.
And the House Civil Justice Subcommittee on Tuesday heard a presentation on foreclosures detailing states that include courts in the process versus those that don’t.
Bottom line: Foreclosures take longer and are more expensive in states that involve courts, said state economist Amy Baker. (That damn due process and the time it takes) St. Petersburg Times
The “Attorney’s Title Fund Services” has stated its opinion of judicial vs. non-judicial foreclosure proceedings. Will the ATFS make its position known to Governor Scott and the Florida republicans?
An excerpt from the Florida Bar Journal article, “Who owns the note?” which you reference previously:
“Pat Jones, associate general counsel and vice president for underwriting for Attorneys’ Title Fund Services, said while robosigning and other document problems ” are troublesome, we have not heard of many instances where the information on the affidavits is flawed or inaccurate as to the indebtedness itself. The improper execution of documents in a foreclosure action is not something that a title examiner can readily identify.”
Due process protections of the foreclosure process are important, she said, because it means that owners have been served and have a chance to challenge the validity of a foreclosure, including supporting documents. That’s one reason that judicial foreclosures, in the Fund’s opinion, are more worthy of underwriting than nonjudicial foreclosures.
” The Fund firmly believes judicial foreclosure gives borrowers every opportunity to raise all defenses, procedural and substantive, that they might have to an attempted foreclosure of their property,” Jones said.
” It is those due process protections that provide confidence to purchasers of foreclosed property.”
