Fannie Mae claims to have owned my mortgage a month BEFORE we bought the house! [View all]

I got curious as to who was claiming to own our mortgage, since it has been reported that Countrywide, our original lender, had destroyed all mortgage paperwork and actually had passed nothing on to Bank of America when it bought Countrywide's mortgages.

All the mortgage fraud and robo signing occurred, to hide the fact that foreclosures were illegal without the mortgage note by the lender.
At some point since 2008, the banks were supposedly selling the mortgages to Fannie Mae.

So, looked up who owns our mortgage...
says Fannie Mae has owned it, since 9-1-2005.
Which is before we bought the house, before we signed any loan papers, and before Countrywide sent the confirmation letter saying the mortgage was effective Oct. 1, 2005.

Man, it goes deep, doesn't it?

Thank you again DirkGently. So the individual has no guarantee regarding the Title ms.smiler Jul 2013 #47

Yes, not the original mortgage but those bundled and backed by securities Samantha Jul 2013 #25

Samantha, how about you compare MERS cute little theory about the lack of a need to ms.smiler Jul 2013 #29

Ms. Smiler, in a must-record state the original documents are usually done in MERS name. Yo_Mama Jul 2013 #32

Once the mortgage is done in MERS' name, there is no conveyance Yo_Mama Jul 2013 #38

I believe you misunderstood me Samantha Jul 2013 #37

Okay, but that is about assignments, not mortgages Yo_Mama Jul 2013 #31

I thought we were going to end realizing we had a terminology miss! Samantha Jul 2013 #35

MERS has never been the servicer Yo_Mama Jul 2013 #39
