POINT XIV
----------
THE CONSOLIDATED MORTGAGE WAS THE ONLY SURVIVING AND SUPERCEDED
MORTGAGE AND PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT WITHELD THAT FACT FROM THE
LOWER COURT
Plaintiff-Respondent presented Defendants-Appellants at the
refinancing closing as a take it or leave it Consolidation
Agreement (A - 184) with an attached Consolidated Mortgage (A -
194) both dated May 16, 2005. This is a Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac
Uniform Instrument Form 3172 1/01 document which provides on
page 2 of 9 (A 185) the following:
"II. AGREEMENT TO COMBINE NOTES AND MORTGAGES (A) By
signing this Agreement, Lender and I are combining into
one set of rights and obligations all of the promises and
agreements stated in the Notes and Mortgages including any
earlier agreements which combined, modified, or extended
rights and obligations under any of the Notes and
Mortgages. THIS MEANS THAT ALL OF THE LENDER'S RIGHTS IN
THE PROPERTY ARE COMBINED SO THAT UNDER THE LAW LENDER HAS
ONE MORTGAGE AND I HAVE ONE LOAN OBLIGATION (emphasis
added) which I will pay as providedin this Agreement. This
combining of notes and mortgages is known as a
'consolidation'."
"III. AGREEMENT TO CHANGE TERMS OF THE CONSOLIDATED NOTE
Lender and I AGREE THAT THE TERMS OF THE NOTES ARE CHANGED
AND RESTART TO BE THE TERMS OF THE 'CONSOLIDATED
NOTE'(emphasis added) which is attached to this Agreement
as Exhibit C." ...
"The CONSOLIDATED NOTE WILL SUPERSEDE (emphasis added) all
terms, covenants, and provisions of the Notes."
"IV. AGREEMENT TO CHANGE TERMS OF THE CONSOLIDATED
MORTGAGE Lender and I AGREE THAT THE TERMS OF THE MORTGAGES
ARE CHANGED AND RESTATED TO BE THE TERMS OF THE
'CONSOLIDATED MORTGAGE'(emphasis added) which is attached
to this Agreement as Exhibit D. The Consolidated Mortgage
secures the Consolidated Note and will constitute in law a
single lien upon the property. I agree to be bound by the
terms set forth in the Consolidated Mortgage which will
supercede all terms, covenants, and provisions of the
Mortgages."
As stated above, the Consolidated Mortgage "...will
constitute in law a single lien upon the property. ...the
Consolidated Mortgage which will supercede all terms,...of the
Mortgages."
The Consolidated Mortgage (A 194) was signed by both parties
(A 213) and witnessed (A 214), and is a fully legal instrument.
The Consolidated Mortgage was filed with the County Clerk
with the Consolidated Agreement and became a public record
showing that there exists an additional fully executable
mortgage. This fact alone has cost Defendants-Appellants at
least three sales of the property being foreclosed herein during
title searches by prospective buyers.
The Consolidated Mortgage along with the signed Agreement
that is required by above cited Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Uniform
Instrument Form 3172 1/01 document, was only presented to the
Lower Court in Defendants-Appellants Cross Motion, and what
appears to be a deliberate manuever to retain the impression
before this Court that there exists two active mortgages so that
they, the Plaintiffs, could claim laches by using an alleged
earlier dated mortgage.
Plaintiffs never submitted the Consolidated Mortgage to the
Lower Court in their initial motion for Summary Judgement (A -
87), but instead incorrectly submitted to the Court the gap
mortgage for $380,346.31 (A 107) that was merged into the
Original 1995 $162,000 Mortgage to create the only surviving
Consolidated Mortgage (A 194). Defendants-Appellants never
applied for a $380,346.31 mortgage, nor were notified prior to
closing.
Defendants-Appellants also point out that no notice of
pendency was ever filed for the Consolidated Mortgage dated May
16, 2005 or any mortgage in the amount of $522,200.00.
Defendants-Appellants submitted to the Lower Court the only
true and surviving Consolidated Mortgage as their Exhibit 07 (A
194) in their Affidavit in Support of Cross Motion (see A 160)
which was completely ignored by the Lower Court.
This Court should declare that the Original 1995 Mortgage
was paid and satisfied, and order that the lis pendens be
vacated and that a satisfaction be filed on that mortgage.
