LEARN ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS TO SUE AND WIN YOUR PROPERTY BACK
In the event you’ve already lost your home due to a foreclosure, you may have grounds to sue the bank for 1) Breach of Fiduciary Duty; 2) Fraud; 3) Estate Embezzlement et alia.
All promissory notes and mortgages are null and void for fraud and breach of trust on the part of the mortgagee, which is the lender in a mortgage, typically a bank. Who never fulfilled their portion of the agreement and never transferred any money.
The nature of a promissory note is that of a certain sum of money allegedly being borrowed. The nature of the mortgage is a security on that loan of money. It secures the bank in the event the loan is not fully paid. The house is taken as collateral for the value of the loan.
But, in order for the house to be pledged as security for the loan, the money has to first have been lent. As the mortgage is predicated on the promissory note and the note relies on the parties fulfilling their fiduciary obligations.
The bank never sends any transaction, check, money order, deposit, or cash to the borrower, thereby creating no debt. But the individual is still listed as a borrower, although they never have been given any money, and are required to make payments to the bank for money they never received.
This is not only fraud, as the bank never intends to give any money. The bank is in breach of their fiduciary duty as the bank promises to lend the money and never does. The fraud takes place by the banks promise to lend and the now deceived borrower is now sending real payments to the bank for a loan the never received.
“one is liable for fraudulent deceit if he‘ deceives another with intent to induce him to alter his position to his injury or risk . . . .’ Section 1710 of the Civil Code defines deceit for the purposes of Civil Code section 1709 as, inter alia, ‘[a] promise, made without any intention of performing it.’ ‘ “The elements of fraud, which give rise to the tort action for deceit, are (a) misrepresentation (false representation, concealment, or 1177 nondisclosure); (b) knowledge of falsity (or ‘scienter’); (c) intent to defraud, i.e., to induce reliance; (d) justifiable reliance; and (e) resulting damage.”[Citations.]’ Each element must be alleged with particularity.” (Beckwith v. Dahl(2012) 205 Cal.App.4th 1039, 1059-1060 [141 Cal.Rptr.3d 142], internal citations omitted.)
