California Citigroup assignment fraud

Written by Biloxi

An anonymous homeowner wrote a letter of complaint of U.S. Bank National Association, Citimortgage and Acqura Loan Services to the Office of Comptroller of Currency. Office of Comptroller of Currency or OCC is an independent bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury that serves to charter, regulate, and supervise all national banks and the federal branches and agencies of foreign banks in the United States. In the letter to OCC, the anonymous homeowner provide details and proof of fraudulent document in the ownership of his/her home. U.S. Bank failed to address any of his/her issues and concerns from his/her letter dated January 18, 2010. The anonymous homeowner claimed to have proof that the bank fabricated and recorded another fraudulent document in the San Diego Recorder Office on February 7, 2011.

In addition, the anonymous homeowners provide proof of documents that the assignor identified in the assignment of the mortgage is not the original lender of the homeowner's note. The assignment was electronically filed by Mortgage Electronic Registration Service (MERS). And documents recorded in the San Diego Recorder office was robo-signed by an employee of Orion Financial Services located in Texas.

The anonymous homeowners presented an excellent case against the banks including Citimortgage. Citimortgage is no stranger to robo-signing. CitiMortgage admitted to foreclosure paperwork problems, robo-signing, and halted foreclosure procedures last year according to Harold Lewis, an executive with the CitiMortgage subsidiary:

The other 4,000 documents that are being reviewed were prepared at its Dallas processing center and "may not have been signed in the presence of a notary, to assure that these affidavits are substantively correct and properly executed." Lewis said these affidavits were also be refilled.

Last year, Citigroup settled fraud cases tied to Texas employee of Orion Financial Group Inc. that robo-signed mortgage assignments. If I were Citimortgage, I would contact the anonymous homeowner before the anonymous homeowner decide to take his proof in the courtroom. In the anonymous homeowner's letter to the OCC, D.M. Wileman,  an employee of Orion Financial Group, robo-signed the homeowner's mortgage assignment. In fact, Mr. Wileman is on a list (see pg. 9) with other employees at other financial institutions and companies hired by the financial institutions that participated in robo-signing and signing fraudulent documents. Now, the real question is what action with OCC take in the anonymous homeowner's case since the Citigroup admitted to robo-signing.
