Analysis Report

Borrower's Statement

Borrower paid his


mortgage in full
reliance to his
fiduciary's
Representation. Had
He known of the nature
of the transaction,
he would not have
paid a single cent.
Transaction Overview
Exhibit 1

On 11/26/2003 - Recent Release of Mortgage/Deed of Trust Independent of Any Real Estate Transaction To
resemble ownership of property, a forger will place on record a forged release of a mortgage or reconveyance of a
deed of trust. Such releases usually occur independent of any real estate transaction and may be accompanied by a
substitution of trustee. There will obviously have been no funds sent to the existing mortgagee/beneficiary. Shortly
after recording the release, a new loan is sought or the property is sold. This situation leaves the title insurer to pay off
the mortgagee/beneficiary of the “released” lien following the default of its loan. Last Minute Ownership Changes In
transactions in which only a loan policy is requested, a deed may be tendered just prior to closing to change the
ownership of the property either by conveying to new parties or making changes among co-tenants or partners. Many
times this uninsured deed being created in closing is forged.
Title Report from PropertyShark

Two scenarios I can think of:

1- Joseph Gurrola wasn't financially unsophisticated


afterall, instead, a savvy investor that sold the Anza
property to Teresa Rispoli for $400,000 ++ more on
02/2007 and smartly downgraded to 1708 Holguin St.
… knowing his actions shall have caused a crash.

or

2- Someone misrepresented information to meet


minimum guidelines for bank approval, instantly
replenishing depleted resources to fuel the
process all over again.
(at the expense of the taxpayer)

...anyones guess would be better.


Exhibit 2
Exhibit 3 – check stubs, and other supporting documents are the in cd-rom.
Additionally, there are a few loan disclosures missing in the borrowers packet. They are as follows: ALL OF THEM.
Whatever is in this report are all the borrower had in “closing.” Please be advised that our Qualified Written Request
specifically requires you to furnish them, that way we can redo our report and be more accurate.
Exhibit 4
Exhibit 5

Aren't undisclosed first liens that are going to be left unpaid an incumbrance?
Exhibit 6
“A court will not set aside contractual obligations because one party misunderstood , or failed to read, the contract”

Attorney, my faith is strongest when decisions are made from a jury of our peers. Contractual obligations are what they
are. There is no excuse for anyone not to fullfil their duty to the highest level of integrity and truthfullness regardless
whether the contract is executed by a signature or by our word that should be as good as our bond to begin with.

“Failure to make reasonable inquiry to ascertain or effort to understand the meaning and content of the contract upon
which one relies constitutes neglect of a legal duty such as will preclude recovery for a unilateral mistake of fact.”

Thank you for having the basis of sound judgement. Unfortunately there are not to many of you who think this way
anymore, as a matter of fact I think thats the main reason why Attorneys will never have a shortage of cliemts.
The failure to make reasonable inquiry to ascertain or effort to understand the meaning and content of the contract lies
not on the failure to make reasonable inquiry but on the failure to provide what was requested.

Re: Knoxx v. Modern Garage & Repair Shop (1924) 68 Cal App 583

For those that use that defense, I thank them with all my heart. Had it not been for them there would'nt be anything like
these:
- 8.68 Billion Serttlement "Countrywide's lending practices turned the American dream into a nightmare for tens of
thousands of families by putting them into loans they couldn't understand and ultimately couldn't afford."
- $295,000,000.00 awarded to borrowers by Ameriquest in 2006. Best part of it all- non forgiven debt. All the people
need to know is that they should never relinquish their VII Amendment right to trial by jury.

Lastly we are not here to fight for homes. We are here to fight for our rights. Please help us help the people.
