PBC Clerk of Court Sharon Bock to County Citizens RE Fraudclosures, It’s Not My Problem

Officials from several states are pulling court documents bearing the name of the now infamous robo-signer Linda Green following a 60 Minutes exposé on foreclosure fraud that featured a Palm Beach County homeowner.


In Michigan, Massachusetts and North Carolina registers of deeds have combed through filings looking for Green, documenting irregularities in signatures and forwarding their findings to law enforcement, federal regulators and attorneys general.

In Palm Beach County, a spokeswoman for Clerk of Court Sharon Bock said the Linda Green issue does not fall under “our purview to investigate or take action.”

“The clerk does not have authority under the statute to question the validity of a signature on a document presented for recording,” said spokeswoman Julie Nicholas.

“It is the role of the home¬owners and/or attorneys representing homeowners to raise any legal issues that they believe may assist a home¬owner in a foreclosure case.“
