Culhane vs Aurora Loan Services

Culhane vs Aurora Loan Services

Note the following from this United States District Court case from the District of Massachusetts:

It is clear beyond peradventure that Culhane is substantially behind in paying her mortgage and appears unable to remediate her default.  This, however, does not render her an outlaw, subject to having her home seized by whatever bank or loan servicer may first lay claim to it.

Notice this from the case also:

 Nationwide, courts are grappling with challenges to MERS’s power to assign mortgages as well as its practice of deputizing employees of other companies to make assignments on its behalf. The present case is distinct only in that it is this Court’s first encounter with MERS and with the question whether its involvement in the origination and assignment of a mortgage loan clouds record title to the mortgaged property. The public has an interest in ensuring the liquidity of the mortgage market. Thus, even if Culhane is unable to exercise her equitable right of redemption and foreclosure of her mortgage loan is inevitable, title must pass free of cloud and not subject to challenge in any future action for summary process or to try title on the ground that the foreclosure process was conducted unlawfully. See Bevilacqua v. Rodriguez, 460 Mass. 762, 772 (2011); Bank of N.Y. v. Bailey, 460 Mass. 327, 333-34 (2011).
