Federal legislation introduced last week is giving credence to a battle being fought in Middle Tennessee by bankruptcy trustee Henry "Hank" Hildebrand.
Hildebrand was the subject of a Friday story related to a growing movement across the country: Judges and debtors who force mortgage companies to produce a physical note before foreclosing on a home.
Because in Tennessee judges aren't involved in the foreclosure process, it's been bankruptcy trustees here who have been fighting that battle instead.
In Middle Tennessee, Hildebrand said he's had about 60 cases this year where a lender couldn't produce the actual note, though he is seeing some movement towards compliance.
