Question
This isnt a story of a loan gone bad. Rather it's a pertinent question. Say the fight against a foreclosure goes well. The better argument (or prevailing one) is that any lender who files a complaint without being able to show a connection to the actual note either lacks standing to sue or must rescind/suspend the suit until the connection can be produced. In some jurisdictions, cancellation of the loan is a remedy to the borrower (since no one can prove they own the note via possession (UCC 9-305). Say that works (court agrees and orders cancellation of the loan)...what happens next for the borrower? I mean, I dont suppose the borrower gets to keep the property does he? Similarly, most or all mortgages include a recission clause. The likelihood of getting recission after a year of haggling in court is becoming more probable. Say you get recission...then what? Isnt the borrower then just in a similar position? Really want to know what the borrowers options are at those points.
