Claim Amount: It Pays To Pay Attention

Bankruptcy proof of claim case where the lender failed to file a timely amendment to a proof of claim and the bankruptcy court for the Eastern District of Louisiana denied their request a late amendment to a proof of claim.

The bankruptcy court (1) denied a mortgage lender’s request to file a late amendment to a proof of claim that had been filed on its behalf by the debtor and (2) confirmed the debtor’s proposed plan over the mortgagee’s objection that the plan payments were not sufficient to cure the actual arrearage. The lender appealed to the district court.

Bad News BEARS! No stripping off of 2nd Mortgages in Chapter 7

United States Supreme Court rules that an underwater second mortgage cannot be stripped off in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Bank of America v. Caulket.

Banks Ignore the Bankruptcy Laws

The big banks are now ignoring the Bankruptcy laws by attempting to collect debts that have been lawfully discharged in a Bankruptcy by a specific order of a United States Bankruptcy Judge. There is big money at stake and the big banks want the money so bad they are now ignoring court orders. They seem to think that the laws do not apply to them. They need to be taught a lesson but I doubt the Justice Department will do much of anything except slap their wrist.

In the past, I have written about the Big Banks continued unlawful actions that only result in “slap on the wrist fines” that in many cases are passed on to the shareholders and/or used as a tax deduction. It seems that Wall Street and the Banksters have not learned a thing.  Or have they?

The latest wrinkle in Banksters taking advantage of American citizens is noted in a Crooks and Liars report which detailed an investigation into several Big Banks and their alleged refusal to honor the orders of Bankruptcy judges across the country. Of course, the “usual suspects” have been named in the latest investigations.
