Foreclosure Gang Rape, Louisiana Style (absolutely verifiable)

Request for Congressional Foreclosure Panel to Examine Foreclosure Lawyers http://www.change.org/petitions/view/request_for_congressional_foreclosure_panel_to_examine_foreclosure_lawyers#

===============================================================================

Not a day goes by without different media stories or reports about questionable foreclosures, scams, and far-reaching effects upon society –whether or not people are in foreclosure. Probably, there’s not anything new to be heard or told about the crisis; and it all sounds dismal.

Assuming from the title of this essay, a reader could rightfully not be inclined to expect this narrative to be easy on the sensibilities.  In fact, despite countless foreclosure information, this is probably as somberly gripping as a narrative can get concerning mortgage and foreclosure.

Not in a sexual sense, but “rape” here synonymously describes the following things that were forced upon the victim:  defilement, molestation, exploitation, humiliation, bigotry, betrayal, invasion, revilement, assault, depredation, torture, despoliation, stigmatization,  maltreatment, denigration, ruin, pillage, plunder, ransack, spoliation, violation, impingement, racism. **CLICK this link to how it happened:  “Foreclosure Fraud Assault – A Cry For Help – The Peoples Voice

This true story is not being shared for persons with settled viewpoints about people in foreclosure deserving whatever happens.  It is the victim’s appeal and hope that people who read this story will be prompted to outrage, as well as prompted to circulate this story until change comes –and not merely for this one victim.

Considering people’s overwhelming personal circumstances, some folks seem to think it an imposition  to be empathetic or to get involved with matters not beneficial to themselves.   Some people are able to dismiss other people’s problems by declaring that they brought it on themselves –for example, people who can’t pay their mortgages.

Or, there are others who are strong-willed to the point that they are not impacted by suffering as deeply as what could make other people lament and despair.  Sadly,  it’s not even an impossibility to hear someone say that a rape victim brought it upon herself. . .

Yet, so that the ravished victim might have an opportunity to begin a road to recovery, an opportunity to begin recompense, to cease from being wrongfully blamed (notwithstanding other things deserved), the victim has no other choice –and is running out of time!  Moreover, it is imperative this story be told so that the guilty persons, who boastfully flaunt before the victim, will be brought to justice, as well as prevented from additional such acts.

Further, the intended outcome for recounting humiliation is neither sensationalism nor for mere FYI purposes; and the victim hopes that just-for-curiosity sake / short & sweet readers pass on this essay.  Being too brief, rather than furnish explicit information, enabled years of horror to continue.  So, here the facts and the identities are laid bare — corroborating proof furnished when necessary, appropriate, and SAFE.

*To people unwilling to believe it is not against the law to default on a prime mortgage debt, but it is against the law to file foreclosure or collect that debt in an unlawful way, there’s nothing worth reading here.  The following would be better reading for people who believe extortion and fraud are wrong, as well as not lawful.

**For REASONS having to do with the victim’s safety and preservation of legal issues, not every single detail can be spelled out in this narrative.  However, the more-than-ample details provided below accurately and truthfully state what happened.  Further, despite any social prominence of persons listed below, it is not possible to accurately tell this story while concealing their identities and their actions.

Predator initiation

Following years of the homeowner’s prompt mortgage payments, upon falling behind, the homeowner contacted the “servicer,” Wells Fargo Mortgage (WF) to inform about grave marital circumstances which caused the loan delinquency, and to discuss options.  In order to retain the home, Wells Fargo vigorously insisted that the borrower sign WF’s hand-delivered “loan modification” documents and return those documents along with a specified money order amount via overnight delivery to Wells Fargo. The documents were delivered to the homeowner almost immediately after that telephone conversation.

The WF loan modification documents contained language and conditions the homeowner was unwilling to accept, and the WF contact person was not reachable for repeated questions concerning the modification.  It also was impossible to reach the supposedly mortgage lender.  So, the homeowner partially completed the modification papers and returned them to Wells Fargo.  However, a Wells Fargo representative threatened that if the modification papers were not completely filled out and returned within 24 hours, Wells Fargo would take the home.  The modification documents were re-delivered to the homeowner and the homeowners followed all instructions and re-sent the documents to Wells Fargo.  Subsequently, discussions broke down between the homeowner and Wells Fargo about inability to make the payments, family situations, and various things required by Wells Fargo.

It was perhaps a year later that the homeowner learned that WF’s predatory modification was not only fraudulent, but also not lawfully enforceable.  The salient reason why the loan modification that Wells Fargo constructed is not valid is because (to the homeowner’s oblivion) the modified loan on the home [unlawfully] binds the homeowner and a SHAM lender.

BUT the scope of this story is not to argue validity.  Rather, this is a narrative about how a mortgage debt became a tool for syndicated illegalities.  Equally, it is a narrative of how the victim (unwittingly) interfered with syndication and was subjected to years of reprehensible onslaught.

**Years prior to Wells Fargo’s coming on the scene, the prime mortgage on the home originated with AmSouth Bank; thus, the first servicer was not WF. The mortgage loan was transferred / assigned several times after AmSouth.

The foreclosure mill / debt collector lawyer

To reiterate, the loan modification that was designed by Wells Fargo is not valid, nor binding between the homeowner and the fictitious lender; and thus the loan debt is not enforceable. (*It’s not enforceable for other striking reasons.)   From the inception of that modification until discovery the lender was defunct, the homeowner did not have knowledge that the lender on the modification contract was not the owner of the secured interest for the loan on that home.  Accordingly, even if the lender named on the modification was not defunct, the modification was still not valid because lack of owning the secured note gives no modification authority. *More than a year later, the homeowner acquired documentation about the loan owner and the date it was transferred.

Howbeit, the foreclosure lawyer was fully aware that the $86,149.87 debt that was created by the sham modification was absolutely void.  He and confederates committed repeated frauds, deceptions, and crimes to benefit from that sham debt.

After Wells Fargo turned the homeowner’s mortgage account to the lawyer who operates a foreclosure mill, the homeowner’s initial inquiries to the foreclosure lawyer centered around the unfair amount of money being demanded; and a request for an itemization of the money the collector was demanding to be paid, and to whom.

Because the itemization that was given to the homeowner did not make sense, and because it caused additional questions about to whom the debt was owed, the homeowner repeatedly tried to contact the purported lender, to no avail.  As the homeowner eventually discovered, the lender could not be contacted because it was defunct, the collector lawyer refused to give answers, and representatives at Wells Fargo would only direct the homeowner to the foreclosure lawyer –which accomplished nothing.

By then it was unmistakable that fraud was being committed regarding the mortgage loan.  But a reason for fraud was a huge mystery, which caused the homeowner to probe further.

The glaring fraud and blatant mystery was –since the modified loan debt was indeed in default, why would there be any need for deception about which entity was entitled to repossess the home?   What lender needs to use dishonesty to recover property authorized by statutes and laws?

Some months later, a ‘notice of sheriff of auction sale’ was dropped on the front steps of the home.  No other information or document was provided other than the one-page notice of a sale that was set for approximately 6 weeks later.  The notice contained a November date and location where the home would be sold, the foreclosure lawyer’s name, and the defunct lender as “the plaintiff.” (A probe resulted in retrieval of a deputy sheriff document with false statements about serving the requisite “notice of seizure.” )

*Other events, such as the homeowner’s reaction to developments pertaining to the home and  personal matters are being omitted here, because of immateriality to the foreclosure lawyer’s conduct.  However, the homeowner was making preparations about the property situation.

Because the following are among many issues the homeowner was never allowed to have “fact finding”, all that can be told is this:  Periodic calls to the sheriff’s office to learn if the auction was still on schedule, how the homeowner knew the November auction had been stopped; and any other  information about the foreclosure was obtained from the homeowner’s probe of court pleadings and information.  The collector lawyer provided nothing (not even the required Fair Debt Collection notice).

Also, the attorney for homeowner’s spouse was inserted (needlessly) as the ‘curator ad hoc’ (while they were working on their marriage and faxing pay stubs to Wells Fargo during negotiation efforts).

All the while, the homeowner remained unaware about the modification being unenforceable.  And, not only was there yet a mystery about motives for fraud, the homeowner took no action to prevent the November auction.  In fact, the homeowner did not even seek a judicial injunction to prevent the auction until six months after that November 2002 date, as any grounds for the injunction (which included acts of fraud) were still unknown to homeowner. *The injunction is discussed below under the heading, Judge Lloyd Medley.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thus far, this narrative has covered debt collector lawyer, Herschel C. Adcock, Jr.; Wells Fargo; and homeowner, Barbara Ann Jackson.  Barbara co-owns the property (which was taken via fraud) along with her daughter. The curator ad hoc is attorney Keith A. Doley.  The deputy sheriff is Joshua Rondeno.  Rondeno’s attorney is William M. Detweiler.  Judge Lloyd Medley is a Louisiana state court judge.   And it has covered the defunct mortgage lender, GE Capital Mortgage Service, Inc.  The remaining portrayal of what took place will consist of the names and deeds of each actor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aside from foreclosure problems and marriage decline, Barbara had resumed college classes for purposes of becoming employment marketable after divorce seemed eminent.  Barbara and daughter co-owned the home for 7 years prior to Barbara’s troubled marriage.  They both had college degrees and their excellent credit afforded them not only the ability to acquire a prime mortgage loan, but years later, their still good credit allowed them to refinance and fence their property.

Significantly, Barbara also was a certified paralegal. In the interim of determining what was the best course of action regarding the home, Barbara was increasingly becoming well-versed in consumer law, bankruptcy law, and the whole gamut of Louisiana Civil Procedure –particularly the “Executory Process.”  It was extremely easy for Barbara to recognize that the home was being taken via fraud; and it became Barbara’s occupation to prevent the illegal home loss.

Among her courses of action, Barbara filed bankruptcy in hopes of being able to file her “adversary petition” which would have enabled Discovery, but Adcock and Attorney Paul Rumage made certain that never happened. *See subheadings for bankruptcy, Rumage. Barbara later filed an Injunction Petition and shortly thereafter, she filed a lawsuit.  The beginning of the cutthroat deeds to which Barbara became subjected, and later advanced to gang rape, came about because Barbara was hated for having the audacity to question blatant illegalities and judicial unfairness associated with the lawless taking of the roof from over her head.

Almost all of Barbara’s time was spent at the law library –to the extent whereby she could not maintain her classes.  She dropped out of school solely because the foreclosure fraud tactics had become to consume her time and energy in researching laws in order to understand, as well as respond to, the barrage of pleadings and motions that were being filed in court by attorney Adcock and attorney Detweiler.

Also, Barbara was working for a certain attorney during the foreclosure situation. Among the many despicable things that Detweiler did to Barbara (details below) was engineer the loss of Barbara’s job.

Meanwhile, the haunting question lingered as to why was fraud, deception, and Constitution violations being utilized to take the home of which the $86, 149.50 was in default.

It would have been less of a problem for Barbara if she had no legal background, but the fact that she did, made it foolish for her to help people to defraud her.  Despite Barbara’s legal familiarity, her adversaries seemed not to accredit Barbara with that much sense.  Instead, they consistently propagated that Barbara was using legal tactics “to beat the system” and “live rent free.”

As the following facts describe, that propaganda was one of the prominent means which worked fantastic wonders in fashioning Barbara as a b_ _ _ _ to be kicked, abused, and raped.   In fact, it seemed to have garnered applause and a sport as to, under color of law, which lawyer or which judge could visit the most cruel affliction on Barbara Ann Jackson.

**It’s coming down to the point where it’s a little hard to continue writing about all this tonight, I’m going to do my best.  (It’s taken all this time to commence chronicling the truth.)  So, I’ll keep adding to this post until I stated significant facts and information, as some things need to be withheld for now; but this account is not exhaustive of all there is to know about what occurred.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

William M. Detweiler (lawyer, Metairie, LA)

Detweiler replaced a lawyer who was representing deputy Joshua Rondeno, a defendant in my debt collection case that was filed in State Court and allotted to former Judge Yada Magee.  Detweiler is such a merciless, underhanded and cruel person, I used to think that if people like him are going to heaven, I’d prefer hell. (Of course I believe people are different in heaven.) Some of the things he did were:

Because Detweiler wanted Rondeno absolved from blame and dismissed from the collection case, the standard, appropriate method was to file a ‘Motion to Dismiss’ Rondeno.  Upon such a motion becoming filed and a hearing date set, my “Opposition” would have become included in the case record.  (And an appellate court could have been able to see whether dismissing Rondeno was prejudicial to justice.)

But Detweiler did not file any such motion for Rondeno, which would have generated a hearing date that would alerted me to the scheme.  Instead, Detweiler created a dismissal pleading for his client and forced my attorney who also was my employer, to sign and file it to benefit Detweiler.

Specifically, my former employer / attorney, John Gaharan informed me that Detweiler wanted Gaharan to agree to letting Rondeno ‘out’.  I was incensed at the demand; Rondeno was critical to proving (among other things) the lack of serving the ‘notice of seizure’ as required for executory foreclosures.

Rondeno was also pertinent for the issue of how or why Jimmie’s lawyer, Keith Doley, became curator.

I unequivocally informed Gaharan I did not agree with dismissing Rondeno, and Detweiler should do his own deed. I thought the matter was settled until receiving federal Judge Africk’s signed order dismissing Rondeno.

During the time frame regarding Rondeno, Gaharan curtailed the job assignments he gave me; and began being uninformative about my case after it arrived to federal court.  Gaharan also delayed withdrawing from my case coincidentally until Detweiler’s interests were accomplished.  I feel certain that Detweiler cost me that job and cost me legal representation –and I feel certain that Detweiler had reason to know the outcome with Gaharan would be harmful for me.

It is chiefly because of Detweiler’s causing my loss of a lawyer that I was forced to learn every aspect of my own litigations –including forced to learn whether there was validity in the multiple pleadings that Detweiler filed to have me sanctioned, and what arguments and oppositions I needed to file in response. Emphatically, it is chiefly Detweiler who caused my loss of income –while at the same time he and others falsely represented me as intentionally “living rent free.”  But the truth is mainly because of him I could not earn money to prevent being homeless, as I had repeatedly offered to pay rent.

In addition to Detweiler’s repeated convoluted pleadings to make me pay sanctions and to impede me from any entitled remedies, it was Detweiler’s crazy manner of ‘serving’ various non-court pages on me that allowed him to justify egregious invasions of privacy at the home such as a deputy appearing at the home and writing down VIN numbers of vehicles, and having service of pages and pleadings made to the home via delivery service companies instead of sheriff’s or process servers. He even displayed his result of such evasion in open court; and despite that fact the impossibility of his being present he gave some stupid description about me not “accepting service.” (I bought that transcript.)

Detweiler is additionally galling because even afer he no longer had any federal court business regarding my collection case since his client was dismissed, he showed up when I was attending a hearing and threatened me about protesting the [fraudulent] foreclosure.  Detweiler made certain that I knew he detested me.

And in Detweiler’s denigrating court pleadings, he painted me as a litigious screwball and a judicial infestation.  Yet all the while Detweiler was fully aware that the modification debt created by Wells Fargo was fraudulent; and Detweiler fully knew that my litigations originated because of the defunct lender’s identity being used to fraudulently collect the invalid modified loan that Wells Fargo devised.  Further, causes of action the included various Constitutional deprivations, torts, injuries and damages that stemmed from fraud and illegal activities.

I also need to say about Detweiler, that his berating, “false light defamation” statements about me contained in his pleadings remain key reasons for my being social outcast as it pertains to employment in the legal field.  I also feel certain that the degrading things that the Louisiana 4th Circuit wrote about me has a lot to do with Detweiler’s illegal actions affecting me!   Further, even though it is always wrong falsely murder a person with words to the extent of destroying employment chances, it is an even more loathsome thing for Detweiler to do in light of his full knowledge what the truth really is.  And I cringe upon remembering that on more than one occasion I have been told that Detweiler was formerly a City Constable who deceptively abetted illegal confiscation of people’s property.

Herschel C. Adcock, Jr (foreclosure mill lawyer, Baton Rouge, LA)

As mentioned, Adcock is a debt collection, foreclosure mill lawyer.  Facts and evidence prove that, at all times, from the very beginning, Adcock had complete knowledge that he was utilizing the name and identity of a lender that had no ownership whatsoever of the secured interest / the note for Lurline Street home where Barbara and her family resided.

Despite what Adcock knew, he committed a series of fraudulent acts, which for a long not only did not make sense, but increasing led to Barbara and her family becoming injured in various ways.   While too numerous and too difficult to describe at this time, among the more irrefutable acts of fraud and deception by Adcock –and those with whom he colluded are as follows, but I want to point out Adcock’s last outrageous fraud first:

Adcock’s ultimate, outrageous foreclosure fraud act was when –3 years after he used the identity of GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc., to fraudulently obtain his court order to seize my home, (without my knowledge, and in my absence), Adcock was reported to have completed his [simulated] auction of my home.  According to Adcock, GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc., was the May 19, 2005 “successful” bidder, for which Adcock had the property deed for my home recorded into GE Capital’s name.

A simple look at the Louisiana Secretary of State database for corporation proves that GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc., became defunct in October 2002 when it merged into GE Mortgage Services, LLC.   Even more telling is the fact that if Adcock’s foreclosure was even remotely lawful, the property deed would have been recorded into the name of GE Mortgage Services, LLC.  But such a recording would equally be unlawful since no foreclosure was filed by GE Mortgage Services, LLC for my home.

Further, in year 2005 after Adcock’s non-existent mortgage company placed that ‘successful’ bid to buy my home, the New Orleans Times Picayune newspaper real estate section reported that Freddie Mac (impossibly) paid, $86, 149 to GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc. WHAT CLUE  makes it highly likely that money was paid to Adcock?

By the way, at some point, after being put through much grief and persecution, I gained documentation about a February 2002 transfer of my mortgage loan to Wells Fargo.   Precisely what that February 2002 transfer means, is that even at time when Wells Fargo created the fraudulent modification of my mortgage loan in the name of GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc., it was impossible and unlawful for such a modification to be binding due to stark reality that the owner of my mortgage loan, Wells Fargo, did not enter into a loan modification contract with my daughter and I.    Hence, Wells Fargo is solely responsible for manufacturing the very fraud which is now an impediment to its security interest in my home because of “unclean hands.”

But there is a WHOLE lot more to tell about how Adcock and his league ravished me for years and almost destroyed me –all under his pretext of collecting and foreclosing on a mortgage loan debt that was uncollectible due to the fact that Wells Fargo’s concocted mortgage loan modification comprised of a FICTITIOUS LENDER!

As indicated above, the Debt Collection lawsuit, which comprised of additional claims, was filed in State Court on September 17, 2003; along with a “Notice of Lis Pendens” that I also filed.  My case was allotted to Judge Yada Magee who retired some years later.

Among the orders that Judge Magee granted and signed, was my petition to file my case In Forma Pauperis (IFP), and my request to seal the case records (because of my battered spouse situation).   To be clear, I initially did not have a lawyer representing me; I filed the case in ‘proper person’.   Also, the pauper status that had been granted for my case, according to federal statutes should have transferred with the state court case –even pauper rights of appeal in the same manner as if the case was in state court.   (I was in the midst finishing my appellant brief to appeal  Judge Africk’s rulings.)

To the contrary, incredibly, the case was unsealed and permission to continue my case under pauper status was stripped wrongfully from me –and I was not allowed to question or oppose what I was certain was unfair, and in violation of the statutes after case has been removed to federal court! Moreover, the federal 5th Circuit had granted me permission to file my appeal, but after a letter was written about me, the 5th Circuit notified me more than a month after lodging and docketing my “notice of appeal,”  that all of a sudden I needed to pay. (*more under the 5th Circuit heading.  Also, at no time did I encounter any opponent in federal court who was not Caucasian.)

Off the top of my head, I know that Adcock, Rondeno, Wells Fargo, GE Capital Mortgages Services, Inc., were the defendants.  The very first defendant to receive “proper service” was Joshua Rondeno.  The significance about service on Rondeno pertains to federal Removal Statutes.   Among the reason why service of Rondeno is important is because  deleting Rondeno from the case eliminated the issue of the case being removed after the 30 day cut of period.  And if the appellate could would later agree that Africk should never have presided over the case because the Rondeno factor meant jurisdiction remained in state court, the trick to get me in federal court would have all been for nothing!

Prior to filing anything in State Court, I had read thousands of pages case law, legal encyclopedias, treatises, and had thoroughly learned every aspect of Louisiana Civil Procedure, particularly the “Executory Process.”  Further, I saturated myself in Consumer law, and then Bankruptcy –all for the purpose of not bringing a frivilous case, and out of naive respect for the legal system.

After filing the lawsuit, I knew that the normal pleadings or exceptions should be filed by opposing parties, and I needed to simply wait.  But I had no idea how underhanded Herschel Adcock was!

Instead of the normal responses a defendant might file to a lawsuit, I received via mail from Adcock, a one-sheet, one-paragraph ‘removal notice’ telling me that he had “removed” (transferred) my case to federal court under Judge Lance Africk.  I was devastated since I was not acquainted with federal litigation, and I would be required to learn it all.

My reaction to becoming informed of Adcock’s removal was to educate myself on the grounds for removal, the time frame, who has the authority, and so on.   After that, I had to educate myself in interpreting Adcock’s removal notice meant.   MEANWHILE, I NEVER IMAGINED that what Adcock mailed to me, what not in compliance with a 28 U.S.C. §§ 1441 et seq.,  “Notice of Removal.”

After learning that Adcock’s removal notice was not valid, and it was not effective to cause my case to move to federal court, I was relieved, but also frustrated that Adcock did such a thing.  Then I studied how to prepare a Motion to Remand my case to state court, and prepared my pleading for remand on grounds that Adcock’s removal was fatally defective.

However, when I arrived to federal court and looked at the record for my case, right there in the files was a 12-paragraph “Notice of Removal” that Adcock had filed in federal court, but Adccok did not file the same in state court, nor did Adcock mail me his 12-paragraph pleading!  IT GETS WORSE.

In plain sight, the 12-paragraph Notice of Removal states that Joshua Rondeno was served 32 days prior to Adcock removal the collection case.  Federal removal statutes time for removal is 30 days.  It seems that is the reason why Adcock concealed his removal.  BUT ADDING INSULT to what Adcock did, federal Judge Africk did not give a flip; and Africk TORMENTED ME as often and as long as he pleased!!! Africk subjected me to his federal horror house despite he DID NOT have federal jurisdiction because of Adcock’s untimely and deceptive removal of the case.  I also detected that the underhanded removal is why Detweiler came into the picture!

To ensure that success of Adcock’s debt collection extortion tactics, attorney Sherrill Davidson and attorney Paul Rumage came on board.   Both persons are discussed below, it needs to be pointed out that various pleadings or motions which became filed in Judge Africk’s court were pleadings from Adcock, Davidson, and Rumage.

IT IS EXTREMELY difficult to talk about infliction of racism, hatred, tyranny, injustice, and more while all the time I was fully certain that the misery I was forced to suffer all those years arose from a scheme to get a debt I owe by way of a non-existent means.  It was year 2004 then, and I didn’t even know that Adcock would in year 2005 take possession of my home.  All I knew was that I should not cooperate with fraud that was detrimental to my family and me!  And neither did I know in year 2004, that despite the falsified GE Capital sheriff auction, Wells Fargo would send in my social security number and name to IRS on a form 1099-A and generate a tax bill.  All I knew is that what was going on was clearly fraudulent, and I didn’t even have a clue how deeply the fraud went.   During those horrible dungeon times, I had no way of knowing that Freddie Mac would pay money to a defunct lender to my home.

This might be somewhat hard to follow, but again it is VERY hard / painful to recollect what took place.  What also needs to be pointed out is that during that Judge Africk ordeal, for some reason (my good fortune), in year 2004 GE Mortgage Services, LLC filed into the case record and Affidavit in which it stated that it was the “successor in interest” to GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc.  WOW.   I posted that Affidavit on this website a couple of times.  My point is:  With a 2004 Affidavit from the succeeding lender, how can it possibly be lawful for Adcock to have his year 2005 auction through the lender with no ownership of the security –and no existence!!??

To clarify, the issues for me had changed from merely retaining my home to all wrongs and injustices the perpetrated frauds has caused me to be damaged –for years.   In particularly, they costs me time  and employment and privacy –and more, all behind a debt that was not enforceable.  At the least, the debt needed to be reworked.

Also, I have to take a break before I can talk about what Adcock and Paul Rumage’s despicable deceptions in Bankruptcy court subjected me to from Judge Douglas Dodd (all behind the fraudulent debt that Wells Fargo prepared, apparently to circumvent security filing laws!)  I have to take a break before I can get back to proofreading, etc.  But, get this:  Adcock filed in my bankruptcy case a “Motion to Lift Stay” for non-existent GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc., and a “Proof of Claim” for Wells Fargo.  Judge Douglas  Dodd told me something to the nature of ‘that was none of my business’ and that Adcock did not have to file a proof of claim if he didn’t want to!  And, Dodd told me in open court, that my home is not the only thing I would loose if I persisted in opposing Adcock and Rumage.  (I purchased that transcript!!)  AT ALL TIMES, IN MY FEDERAL COURT INTERACTIONS, THERE WAS NEVER ANOTHER BLACK PERSON IN SIGHT.

Here’s more about what Adcock did, as well as what he caused to be done:


GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc – GE Mortgage Services, LLC


Lloyd Medley (judge, Orleans Parish Civil Court)

Lance Africk (judge, federal court judge, New Orleans)

Dale N. Atkins (clerk of court, Orleans Parish)

THIS IS A DRAFT -info is still being prepared / complied  In a different post on this website, I posted an article about Dale Atkins, “killing us softly.”  ATKINS is utterly underhanded about steering newly-filed lawsuits to the judge of Atkins’ choice for better ensuring outcomes of Atkins’ interest; and she dishonestly abets state court cases to become transferred (removed) to federal court when it is more suitable to the desired outcome.   What I write about Atkins I can prove; and write because she uses her position harmfully for some, and is critically dangerous.

Atkins repeatedly sent my lawsuits to Lloyd Medley.  Medley sat on Conversion lawsuit until Atkins got it to federal court.  Before the conversion case went to federal court, upon filing the Conversion suit and request for TRO, had no choice except to go to Medley’s chambers.  His law clerk, Neisha Lange had me falsely arrested.  Had Atkins NOT kept steering my cases to Medley (clearly should not have gone to Medley since I was suing Medley), I would not have dealt with Lange; would not have paid state court fees for my case that had become transferred to federal Judge McNamara (In previous times, I posted portions of the transcript from McNamara’s courtroom on this site.)

Draft of things to be incorporated for facts about the  Clerk of Court office >>records, pleadings, documents, turn up missing out of people files  –particularly post Katrina, Atkins and former Judge Carolyn Gill-Jefferson (who abruptly resigned), worked with her in Congressman Jefferson’s political,  Atkins and criminal court?

Alma Chasez (judge, federal magistrate, New Orleans)

Sherrill Davidson (lawyer, Baton Rouge, LA)

Douglas Dodd (bankruptcy judge, formerly New Orleans)

Paul Valteau (civil sheriff, Orleans Parish)

Paul Rumage (lawyer, Baton Rouge, LA)

Dean Morris firm (foreclosure mill lawyer, Monroe, LA)

Brett M. Furr (lawyer, Baton Rouge, LA)

Matthew Mullins (lawyer, Baton Rouge, LA)

A.J. McNamara (judge, federal court, New Orleans)

In the same lowdown, sneaky way that Dale Atkins aided the debt collection lawsuit to be transferred to federal Judge Africk, Atkins aided the lawsuit for Conversion (regarding the sham Freddie Mac sale of my home) to be transferred to federal Judge McNamara.  In both instances, there was absolutely no federal basis for either case to be in federal court (other than my suing Judge Medley impeded Atkins from having any rational excuse for sending 3 different lawsuits from me to the same judge Medley. ) While exiled from New Orleans due to Katrina, the conversion case went to McNamara, who had already issued an order dismissing the case (he took the dismissal back, and did it again).

. . .

McNamara made no attempt to conceal the brain-washing ceremony he convened for me.  (I have the court transcript!)  He repeated told me how he wanted me to think, and what his rules –which had no basis in law– were.  He allowed _____________

I have to take a break from writing about this reprehensible situation!!

Linda Uzee (law clerk for McNamara)

Neisha Lange (law clerk for Medley)

Among the troubling things that linger with me about Neisha Lange is how her ease of ability to merely imply she ‘felt’ threatened was reason enough for Lange to have me falsely arrested.   I recall that day I went to Medley’s chambers a few days before Hurricane Katrina hit.

I was justifiably in distress as desperately sought that restraining order to prevent Freddie Mac from evicting my family and me!  I even remember pleading with her to understand that even though I had issues with Medley, I knew she was just doing her job, and I simply did not want to loose my home illegally.  *Lawyers for Freddie Mac had filed for eviction after Freddie Mac (impossibly) paid the non-existent GE Capital Mortgage Services to buy my home.

She and I weren’t even arguing or anything.  I could not believe what she did to me!  What happened was:  A person seeking a TRO is required to have the presiding judge issue a hearing date; and normally that entails taking the pleading to the judge’s chambers.  But Medley was not there (and I was glad).  In fact, Medley was often not around, as was known as one of the least seen judges back then.  However, the judge IS NOT necessary for his staff to provide a hearing date.  What was the problem for Lange –and for me, is that because I was suing Judge Medley in a different case, the lawsuit for Conversion (against Freddie Mac, et al) and a TRO should never have arrived at Medley’s court, and I think Lange was uncertain as to whether she should give me a date.

I (accompanied by my daughter) was trying to impress upon Lange the urgency of becoming evicted, and that it was not my fault that Atkins keeps sending everything regarding me to Medley.  (In a federal affidavit, Atkins basically admitted she had been steering my cases to Medley rather than allowing my cases to be ‘randomly allotted’.)

In response to me, Lange kept saying, this (the hearing date mixup) would not have happened if my case were with a different judge.  However, that was not the issue; the eviction was set for the next day!  I was very worried, and I even went to see the ‘duty judge’, to no avail.  At some point, Lange told us to have a seat in the courtroom, and while we were there, Sheriff Valteau’s deputy arrested me.

Even now, I am yet uneasy about entering the CDC location where Valteau’s deputies have authorities, because I remember before the Lange incident, Sheriff Valteau told me in open court that he would ‘make me pay’ for all the trouble I caused concerning wrongful foreclosures and questionable transfers.   I am even more uneasy about the CDC since I created this website and began blogging about such things, and I became acquainted with Detweiler’s interactions with the sheriff and deputies.  (I have that incredible court transcript also!!)

The lawsuit for Conversion was sent to federal Judge McNamara although Conversion is a state law tort. If Freddie Mac had ever been served the lawsuit, the case would have become federal jurisdiction.  But there never was federal jurisdiction, and McNamara was repeat of Africk, it just didn’t last as long; then Engelhardt took over and it was horror-as-usual. *(*Dale Atkins was added to the conversion lawsuit, and so was Lange.)

**Please again NOTE:   Talking / writing about the events are very difficult for me.   Errors, as well as clarity, will be done as expeditiously as possible.

Not only did the foregoing true story happen to me, I have not ceased doing what I legally can to help others.  I launched this lawgrace.org website to post pleadings, exhibits, articles, and various information about my case, as well as other foreclosures involving Herschel Adcock and Dean Morris firm.   After certain legal information on my site was being inappropriately used for legal advice, although I’m not at fault about that, lots of exhibits, statements, proof, etc., has been taken down.  Sometimes people were copying my (rudimentary) pleadings, exhibits, transcripts, and so many other things and causing unwanted results.

Also, nearly every day I am contacted for help –particularly, regarding the after-math of  Hurricane Katrina. In an effort to be of help to as many people as possible, while avoiding being accused of ‘unauthorized practice of law’, I determined that I could be helpful by posting comments and blogs to websites and forums in addition to my own.  In so doing, I received encouraging responses and thanks for sharing. Thus, I felt good about ‘paying forward’ things I have discovered about mortgage and foreclosure fraud, and judicial collusion.  Even so, I have felt sorrow for certain people who wrote me about their desperate situation, and they had no clue how badly things also were for me.  Unlike too many people, I was not absorbed in my own woes to prevent me from reaching out to others, either by posting comments to stories and blogs, or by taking the time to write them personal emails of sympathy, encouragement, and prayer.

I’m humbly glad that as recently as last week, the New York Times sent me 2 emails regarding something I’ve written.  And, Wall Street Journal, HuffingtonPost, Mother Jones, MsFraud.org, and other sites have things written by me. The point being, notwithstanding the years I have been in this despicable situation, I still care about others, and I am always willing to pass along something I think might be helpful; as well as what might be instrumental in mitigating corruption.

Here, in Louisiana, it is virtually unheard of for legal representation or legal advocacy to help us.  As such, the welcome mat is out for CONSUMER EXPLOITATION and CORRUPTION.  Because those things are allowed to thrive, domestic violence, substance and alcohol abuse, murder, theft, broken families, and more are rampant.

Often, I see people post comments, make statements such as “it’s like that in my city / state too.”  Frankly, I don’t have a clue what point they are making.  The only sensible statement that should follow thoughts such as that is, what am I doing to be part of the solution, instead of observe and recite the problem?

Whatever is ‘the problem’ –in our local or federal government, the solution is not simply republican or democratic, Wall Street or Main Street; Obama or not  –it is a personal duty to do what each can to learn the issues and do his / her part to effect change.

I am asking for help because I need and want change from my ordeal –but not so I can ‘take my ease’ either. I am asking you to “buzz up” “twitter” “facebook” and so on this “Foreclosure Gang Rape” essay until every media outlet knows what’s going on –to help me, to help change the awful exploitation of Consumers via use of Judicial Injustice.  Not only that, it is well beyond the time for Overhaul of the entire United States Judicial system, and the foregoing fact (with corresponding proof) is glaring validation that Congress needs to begin implementing judicial reforms.

Thank you for taking the time to read this November 11, 2010 posting.
