THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON F/K/A THE BANK OF NEW YORK AS TRUSTEE FOR NATIONSTAR HOME EQUITY LOAN TRUST 2007-A v. MICHAEL LARSON

Filed: Mar 8, 2024
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s be honest: nobody wakes up dreaming about getting sued for $61,000 over a mortgage they haven’t paid since August 2023. But here we are, deep in the heart of Beckham County, Oklahoma, where the wind blows hard, the property lines are long and confusing, and one couple named Michael and Barbara Larson may be about to lose their home — not because they didn’t try, not because they vanished into the night, but because life, debt, and the cold, unblinking machinery of the banking system finally caught up with them.

Now, picture this: a quiet rural tract of land just outside Elk City — 1.16 acres, more or less, tucked into the northwest corner of Section 34 like a forgotten Post-it note on a dusty map. A modest piece of American soil, maybe big enough for a house, a dog, and a dream or two. Back in 2006, Michael and Barbara Larson signed on the dotted line for a $75,000 loan — not a king’s ransom by today’s standards, but enough to buy a foothold in the Oklahoma dirt. The lender? Nationstar Mortgage LLC, which, like most mortgage companies, didn’t plan to hold onto that debt forever. No, they passed it around like a hot potato — eventually landing in the hands of The Bank of New York Mellon, acting as trustee for some financial entity with a name so long it needs its own ZIP code: Nationstar Home Equity Loan Trust 2007-A. Yes, that’s a real thing. Yes, it sounds like a rejected Harry Potter spell. But it’s also the plaintiff in this case, and it wants its money.

So who are the Larsons? Based on the filing, they’re a married couple who bought a home, took out a loan, and for nearly 17 years, presumably made their monthly payments like responsible adults do. Their mortgage started in February 2007, with payments of $580.41 due every first of the month. The interest rate? A respectable (for 2006) 8.57%. Not great by today’s standards, but not predatory either — just the cost of borrowing in the mid-aughts, when subprime was still a dirty word waiting to explode. They lived. They paid. They even filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy back in 2018 — a nuclear option, sure, but one that wiped out personal liability on many of their debts. They got a discharge in 2019. Case closed. Or so they thought.

But here’s the thing about mortgages: bankruptcy can erase your personal obligation to pay, but it doesn’t automatically kill the lien on the house. That lien? It’s like a ghost that keeps haunting the property. And when you stop paying, the ghost gets loud. According to the bank, the Larsons missed their August 1, 2023 payment — and every one after that. No explanation given. No dramatic backstory about medical bills or job loss (though those could be true — we just don’t know). Just silence. And then, on March 17, 2024, a law firm in Oklahoma City drops a foreclosure petition like a legal anvil on their doorstep.

The bank isn’t asking for mercy. It’s asking for everything. It wants to foreclose on the mortgage, sell the property, and collect $61,237.41 — the amount still owed, plus interest, legal fees, title search costs, and all the other financial barnacles that accumulate when a loan goes sideways. That number — $61k — isn’t the original $75,000, which suggests the Larsons had paid down some of the principal over the years. But now, with payments stopped, the clock’s ticking, and the bank wants out.

And oh, by the way — there’s a typo in the original mortgage. A scrivener’s error, as the lawyers say, which is legalese for “someone messed up while copying and pasting the property description.” The original document accidentally cut off the full legal description mid-sentence, like a text message lost in transmission. So the bank is asking the court to reform the mortgage — not to change the terms, but to fix the paperwork so it actually matches the land they’re trying to seize. Because nothing says “justice” like suing someone over a missing semicolon.

Now, let’s talk about what the bank is really after. They’re not just mad about the missed payments — they’re mad about the risk. Every month the Larsons don’t pay, the bank is on the hook for property taxes, insurance, and upkeep. That’s why the mortgage contract lets them demand immediate payment of the entire balance if you default. It’s called acceleration, and it’s the financial equivalent of “you broke it, you bought it.” The bank also wants a deficiency judgment — meaning if the house sells at auction for less than what’s owed, they could come after the Larsons (or anyone else with liability) for the difference. But given the 2019 bankruptcy discharge, that ship may have already sailed. The real prize here is the house, not the people.

And then there’s the mysterious third defendant: Occupant(s) of the Premises. Not a person, not a name — just a legal placeholder for anyone else who might be living there and claiming rights to the property. It’s a standard move in foreclosure cases, a way to wipe out any squatters, tenants, or distant cousins who might pop up later saying, “Wait, that’s my couch!” The court needs to clear the title, and that means naming everyone, even the invisible ones.

So what do the Larsons want? Well, we don’t know — because they haven’t said anything yet. This is just the petition, the opening salvo. They haven’t filed an answer. They might fight it. They might negotiate. They might just walk away. But right now, they’re on the ropes, staring down the barrel of a forced sale, all over a few months of missed payments on a loan that started nearly two decades ago.

Here’s the absurd part: this whole thing hinges on less than $2,000 in unpaid installments — maybe three or four months’ worth — but could cost the Larsons their entire home. And the bank? It’s not some mustache-twirling villain. It’s a faceless trust, managed by trustees, backed by investors, operating on autopilot. The humans involved — the Larsons, the lawyers, the clerk who typed the wrong metes and bounds — are just cogs in a machine built to protect money, not people.

Are we rooting for the Larsons? Sure. Who doesn’t root for the little guy facing down a corporate Goliath? But also — this is why you pay your mortgage. This is why you call your lender when you’re struggling. This is why bankruptcy doesn’t solve everything. The system is cold, technical, and unforgiving — and it doesn’t care if you meant well.

Bottom line: a typo in a mortgage, a missed payment, and 17 years of financial history could all end with a gavel and a sheriff’s sale. And that, folks, is the American dream — with a side of paperwork.

We’re entertainers, not lawyers. But even we know: don’t ignore the mail from your mortgage company. Especially when it’s addressed to “Occupant(s) of the Premises.” That’s never a good sign.

By: MAXINE CUNNYNGHAM #2105 Attorneys for Plaintiff 5613 North Classen Boulevard Oklahoma City, OK 73118 (405) 840-5900 (Original Borrower: MICHAEL LARSON; Property Address: 11214 NORTH 1940 ROAD ELK CITY, OK 73644) NOTE DECEMBER 12, 2006 7780 RURAL ROUTE 4, ELK CITY, OK 73644 NOTE OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73108 1. BORROWER'S PROMISE TO PAY In return for a loan that I have received, I promise to pay U.S. $ 75,000.00 (this amount is called "Principal"), plus interest, to the order of the Lender. The Lender is NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC I will make all payments under this Note in the form of cash, check or money order. I understand that the Lender may transfer this Note. The Lender or anyone who takes this Note by transfer and who is entitled to receive payments under this Note is called the "Note Holder." 2. INTEREST Interest will be charged on unpaid principal until the full amount of Principal has been paid. I will pay interest at a yearly rate of 8.570%. The interest rate required by this Section 2 is the rate I will pay both before and after any default described in Section 6(B) of this Note. 3. PAYMENTS (A) Time and Place of Payments I will pay principal and interest by making a payment every month. I will make my monthly payment on the 1st day of each month beginning on FEBRUARY 1, 2007 I will make these payments every month until I have paid all of the principal and interest and any other charges described below that I may owe under this Note. Each monthly payment will be applied as of its scheduled due date and will be applied to interest before Principal. If, on JANUARY 1, 2037 , I still owe amounts under this Note, I will pay those amounts in full on that date, which is called the "Maturity Date." I will make my monthly payments at P.O. BOX 199400 DALLAS, TX 75219-9077 or at a different place if required by the Note Holder. (B) Amount of Monthly Payments My monthly payment will be in the amount of U.S. $ 580.41 4. BORROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY I have the right to make payments of Principal at any time before they are due. A prepayment of all of the unpaid principal is known as a "Full Prepayment." A prepayment of only part of the unpaid principal is known as a "Partial Prepayment." Except as provided below, I may make a Full or Partial Prepayment at any time. If I make a Partial Prepayment equal to one or more of my monthly payments, my due date may be advanced no more than one month. If I make any other Partial Prepayment, I must still make each later payment as it becomes due and in the same amount. I may make a Full Prepayment at any time. However, if within the first 36 months after the execution of the Mortgage, I make any prepayment(s) within any 12-month period the total amount of which exceeds TWENTY & 00/100 percent (20.000%) of the original Principal amount of this loan, I will pay a prepayment charge in an amount equal to the payment of SIX months' advance interest on the amount by which the total of my prepayment(s) within that 12-month period exceeds TWENTY & 00/100 percent (20.000%) of the original Principal amount of the loan. EXHIBIT" A " PAGE 1 OF 4 PAGES 5. LOAN CHARGES If a law, which applies to this loan and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with this loan exceed the permitted limits, then: (a) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (b) any sums already collected from me which exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to me. The Note Holder may choose to make this refund by reducing the Principal I owe under this Note or by making a direct payment to me. If a refund reduces Principal, the reduction will be treated as a Partial Prepayment. 6. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY AS REQUIRED (A) Late Charges for Overdue Payments If the Note Holder has not received the full amount of any monthly payment by the end of 9 calendar days after the date it is due, I will pay a late charge to the Note Holder. The amount of the charge will be the greater of $20.50 or 5.0000% of my overdue payment of principal and interest. I will pay this late charge promptly but only once on each late payment. (B) Default If I do not pay the full amount of each monthly payment on the date it is due, I will be in default. (C) Notice of Default If I am in default, the Note Holder may send me a written notice telling me that if I do not pay the overdue amount by a certain date, the Note Holder may require me to pay immediately the full amount of Principal which has not been paid and all the interest that I owe on that amount. That date must be at least 30 days after the date on which the notice is mailed to me or delivered by other means. (D) No Waiver by Note Holder Even if, at a time when I am in default, the Note Holder does not require me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will still have the right to do so if I am in default at a later time. (E) Payment of Note Holder's Costs and Expenses If the Note Holder has required me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will have the right to be paid back by me for all of its costs and expenses in enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Those expenses include, for example, reasonable attorney's fees. 7. GIVING OF NOTICES Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice that must be given to me under this Note will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to me at the Property Address above or at a different address if I give the Note Holder a notice of my different address. Any notice that must be given to the Note Holder under this Note will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to the Note Holder at the address stated in Section 3(A) above or at a different address if I am given a notice of that different address. 8. OBLIGATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER THIS NOTE If more than one person signs this Note, each person is fully and personally obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note, including the promise to pay the full amount owed. Any person who is guarantor, surety or endorser of this Note is also obligated to do these things. Any person who takes over these obligations, including the obligations of guarantor, surety or endorser of this Note, is also obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note. The Note Holder may enforce its rights under this Note against each person individually or against all of us together. This means that any one of us may be required to pay all of the amounts owed under this Note. 9. WAIVERS I and any person who has obligations under this Note waive the rights of Presentment and Notice of Dishonor. "Presentment" means the right to require the Note Holder to demand payment of amounts due. "Notice of Dishonor" means the right to require the Note Holder to give notice to other persons that amounts due have not been paid. 10. APPLICABLE LAW This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma. If a law, which applies to this loan and sets maximum loan charges is finally interpreted so that the interest and other charges collected or to be collected in connection with this loan exceed the permitted limits, then: (a) any such interest or other charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the interest or other charge to the permitted limit; and (b) any sums already collected from me which exceed permitted limits will be refunded to me. The Note Holder may choose to make this refund by reducing the Principal I owe under this Note or by making a direct payment to me. If a refund reduces Principal, the reduction will be treated as a Partial Prepayment, but in no event will a prepayment charge be assessed if the Note Holder chooses to reduce my Principal balance by applying such excess amounts. 11. UNIFORM SECURED NOTE This Note is a uniform instrument with limited variations in some jurisdictions. In addition to the protections given to the Note Holder under this Note, a Mortgage, Deed of Trust, or Security Deed (the "Security Instrument"), dated the same date as this Note, protects the Note Holder from possible losses which might result if I do not keep the promises which I make in this Note. That Security Instrument describes how and under what conditions I may be required to make immediate payment in full of all amounts I owe under this Note. Some of those conditions are described as follows: If all or any part of the Property or any Interest in the Property is sold or transferred (or if Borrower is not a natural person and a beneficial interest in Borrower is sold or transferred) without Lender's prior written consent, Lender may require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument. However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if such exercise is prohibited by Applicable Law. If Lender exercises this option, Lender shall give Borrower notice of acceleration. The notice shall provide a period of not less than 30 days from the date the notice is given in accordance with Section 15 within which Borrower must pay all sums secured by this Security Instrument. If Borrower fails to pay these sums prior to the expiration of this period, Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by this Security Instrument without further notice or demand on Borrower.
