29. Unenlightened homeowners will walk away while enlightened homeowners will file a Quiet Title suit.

Mon Jan 9, 2012, 01:09 PM

Jan 2012

Unfortunately, most homeowners simply don’t understand their securitized mortgage, which of course works in the banksters favor.

I prefer to see homeowners retain their property, rather than banksters receive compensation yet again upon the same loan.

If anyone wishes to know more, my own story is located here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=2412603&mesg_id=2412603

I have plenty of equity in my home, it's just that I came to understand this scam. The securities fraud that took place on Wall Street is directly connected to our mortgage loans here on Main Street. Once I realized I would never receive a valid Deed and clear Title, I decided to fight the banksters.

If you lack an understanding of securitized mortgages, please inform yourself. All that has happened in our economy, will make much more sense to you.
