THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A. v. JUDY A. BAKER

Filed: Feb 20, 2020
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s be honest: nothing screams “American dream” quite like a bank dragging the United States of America — yes, the federal government — into a foreclosure lawsuit over a $44,000 mortgage bill on a quiet Oklahoma City home. That’s right. In 2020, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company didn’t just file to foreclose on Judy A. Baker’s house — they also named the Department of Justice as a defendant. It’s like a legal crossover episode nobody asked for but everyone’s legally obligated to show up to.

So who is Judy A. Baker? A homeowner, a single woman who took out a $53,300 loan back in 2006 — yes, 2006, when flip phones were still cool and subprime mortgages were handing out like candy at a haunted house. She bought a house at 4828 Park Vista Drive in Oklahoma City, a modest property in the Parkview Estates subdivision of Del City. The loan came with a 9.375% interest rate — let that sink in. That’s not a typo. In an era when people were refinancing boats, Judy signed on the dotted line for a nearly double-digit mortgage. For context, that’s the kind of rate you’d expect from a loan shark named “Vinnie the Tooth,” not a federally backed lending institution. Her monthly payment? A cool $461.06. For 25 years. The total she’d eventually pay if she made every single payment? A jaw-dropping $138,318. That’s more than two and a half times the original loan amount — all for a house that, in 2020, was worth significantly less than that.

Fast forward a decade. The Great Recession has come and gone. Judy’s still in the house, still making payments — but something’s off. By 2017, she’s struggling. She’s in default, she’s behind, and she’s clearly not making ends meet. So the lender — or rather, the servicer, Ditech Financial LLC — offers her a lifeline: a loan modification. It sounds generous, but let’s be real — it’s damage control. The interest rate drops to a still-steep 8.375%, her monthly payment climbs to $485.85 (because math), and $18,698.64 of her debt is deferred, meaning it doesn’t disappear — it just gets tacked onto the end of the loan like a surprise final exam. She agrees. She signs. The modification kicks in December 2017. The hope? She’ll stabilize. The reality? By April 2019, she’s missed another payment. And this time, the bank is done playing nice.

Enter The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company — the current holder of Judy’s decades-old loan, now stuffed into a trust called GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust 2006-HE5, which sounds less like a financial instrument and more like a rejected boy band name. They file a foreclosure petition in Oklahoma County District Court, demanding $44,787.70 — the remaining balance, plus interest, fees, late charges, escrow advances, attorney costs, and whatever else they can slap onto the bill. They want the house sold. They want their money. And they want it now.

But here’s where it gets weird. The bank doesn’t just sue Judy. Oh no. They sue everyone. First, there’s “Spouse, if any, of Judy A. Baker” — a legal placeholder, because in Oklahoma, homestead rights matter, and if there’s a spouse, they might have a claim. Then there’s “Occupant(s) of the Premises” — a catchall for anyone possibly living in the house who might later claim squatter’s rights or some bizarre tenancy loophole. And then… the United States of America, ex rel., Department of Justice. Why? Because back in 2003 — 14 years before the loan was even issued — the IRS filed a tax lien against the property. The government claims it’s owed money from Judy, and that lien, if valid, could technically have priority over the mortgage. So the bank has to name them, just in case. It’s like inviting the feds to a garage sale because you’re not sure if they own the lawnmower.

The legal claim is straightforward: foreclosure. The bank says, “We’re the first lienholder. Judy defaulted. We sent notices. We accelerated the loan. Now we want the house sold so we can get paid.” It’s a standard play in the foreclosure playbook — but the sheer bureaucratic theater of it all is staggering. A woman takes out a loan in 2006, modifies it in 2017, falls behind in 2019, and by 2020, her personal financial struggle has ballooned into a court case that involves the United States government. It’s not just a foreclosure. It’s a legal ghost story, where every financial decision from the past 17 years haunts the present.

And what’s at stake? $44,787.70. Is that a lot? In the grand scheme of real estate, not really. The average home in Oklahoma City sells for north of $250,000. This debt is less than 20% of that. But for Judy, it’s everything — her home, her stability, her last foothold in a system that’s been squeezing people like her for decades. The bank, meanwhile, is a faceless entity, a trust managed by lawyers and algorithms, demanding repayment with zero empathy. They’re not asking for a payment plan. They’re not offering another modification. They want the house. They want it sold. They want their cut.

Here’s the absurd part: this entire saga hinges on a loan that was already modified once to prevent exactly this. Judy wasn’t some deadbeat borrower skipping out. She tried to play by the rules. She signed the paperwork. She lived in the house. She paid for years. And still, the machine kept turning — interest, fees, penalties, servicer handoffs, corporate mergers — until the debt grew too big, too fast, and the only solution was eviction.

Are we rooting for Judy? Absolutely. Not because she’s flawless, but because the system is rigged. A 9.375% mortgage in 2006? A deferred balance that never really goes away? A tax lien from 2003 resurfacing like a zombie in a legal document? This isn’t just a foreclosure. It’s a monument to how broken the American housing system is — where one misstep, one medical bill, one job loss can spiral into a court case that drags in the federal government over a house worth less than a Tesla. The Bank of New York Mellon wants $44,787.70. But what they really owe us is an explanation: how is this still how we do things?

ASSUMPTION: Someone buying this property cannot assume the remainder of the mortgage on the original terms. PREPAYMENT: If you pay off your loan early, you: ☐ will ☒ will not have to pay a penalty. See your contract documents for any additional information about non-payment, default, any required payment in full before the scheduled date and prepayment refunds and penalties. "e" means estimate. INSURANCE: Homeowner's insurance or fire and extended coverage, is required as a condition of the loan. Also, if the property securing this loan is located in a flood area, you will be required to obtain flood insurance. You may obtain property insurance from anyone you want, provided the insurance is acceptable to the Note Holder. 1. BORROWER'S PROMISE TO PAY In return for a loan that I have received, I promise to pay U.S. $53,300.00 (this amount will be called "principal"), plus interest, to the order of the Lender. The Lender is GMAC Mortgage, LLC d/b/a GMAC Mortgage Corporation. 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 will be called the "Note Holder". 2. INTEREST I will pay interest at a yearly rate of 9.375%. Interest will be charged on that part of principal which has not been paid. Interest will be charged on the unpaid principal balance from the date the funds are advanced until the full amount of principal has been paid. 3. PAYMENTS I will pay principal and interest by making payments as set forth above on the same day each month (if no such day exists in a given month then payment will be due on the last day of the month). I will make these payments every month until I have paid all of the principal and interest and any other charges described in this Note. If on November 14, 2031 I still owe amounts under this Note I will pay those amounts in full on that date. Interest is charged on a daily basis. The amount of daily interest is equal to the annual interest divided by 365 (366 in a leap year) times the outstanding principal balance. Borrower agrees that because interest is calculated on a daily basis, late payments will result in additional interest; early payments will result in less interest being charged. I will also pay on demand any other charges, described below, that I may owe under this Note. I will make my payment at 100 Witner Road, Horsham, PA 19044-0963 or at a different place if required by the Note Holder. If my payment is more than 10 days late the Note Holder will charge me a late charge equal to the lesser of 0.000% of the amount that is late or $0.00. 4. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY AS REQUIRED (A) Notice from Note Holder If I do not pay the full amount of each monthly payment on time, the Note Holder may send me a written notice telling me that if I do not pay the overdue amount by a certain date I will be in default. That date must be at least 10 days after the date on which the notice is mailed to me or, if it is not mailed, 10 days after the date on which it is delivered to me. (B) Default If I do not pay the overdue amount by the date stated in the notice described in (A) above, I will be in default. If I am in default, 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. 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. (C) Payment of Note Holder's Costs and Expenses If I fail to make my payment as required above, the Note Holder will have the right to be paid back for all of its costs and expenses to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Those expenses include, for example, reasonable attorneys' fees not to exceed 15% of the unpaid debt after default and referred to an attorney not employed by the Note Holder. NOTICE: This Promissory Note continues on the reverse side. OKLAHOMA-SECOND MORTGAGE-1/80-FNMA/FHLMC UNIFORM INSTRUMENT 5. THIS NOTE SECURED BY A MORTGAGE In addition to the protections given to the Note Holder under this Note, a Mortgage, dated November 8, 2006, protects the Note Holder from possible losses which might result if I do not keep the promises which I make in this Note. 6. BORROWER'S PAYMENTS BEFORE THEY ARE DUE AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS I have the right to make payments of principal at any time before my payment is due. Except as may be stated in any Addendum to this Note, I may make a full prepayment or a partial prepayment without paying any penalty. If I make a full or partial prepayment 15 days prior to the due date these payments will be applied first to late or other charges, then to principal. If I make a partial prepayment, there will be no delays in the due dates or changes in the amounts of my monthly payments unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those delays or changes. All other payments are applied first to interest due and owing, then to principal and finally to any late or other charges. 7. BORROWER'S WAIVERS To the extent permitted by applicable law, I waive my rights to require the Note Holder to do certain things. Those things are: (A) to demand payment of amounts due (known as "preacceleration"); (B) to give notice that amounts due have not been paid (known as "notice of dishonor"); (C) to obtain an official certification of nonpayment (known as a "protest"). Anyone else who agrees to keep the promises made in this Note, or who agrees to make payments to the Note Holder if I fail to keep my promises under this Note, or who signs this Note to transfer it to someone else also waives these rights. These persons are known as "guarantors, sureties and endorsers". 8. GIVING OF NOTICES Any notice that must be given to me under this Note will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by certified mail addressed to me at the Property Address above. A notice will be delivered or mailed to me 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 mailing it by certified mail to the Note Holder at the address stated above. A notice will be mailed to the Note Holder at a different address if I am given a notice of that different address. 9. RESPONSIBILITY OF PERSONS UNDER THIS NOTE AND CREDIT INFORMATION If more than one person signs this Note, each of us is fully and personally obligated to pay the full amount owed and to keep all of the promises made in this Note. Any guarantor, surety, or endorser of this Note (as described in Section 7 above) is also obligated to do these things. The Note Holder may enforce its rights under this Note against each of us 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. Any person who takes over my rights or obligations under this Note will have all of my rights and must keep all of my promises made in this Note. Any person who takes over the rights or obligations of a guarantor, surety, or endorser of this Note (as described in Section 7 above) is also obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note. To the extent authorized by law, I permit the Note Holder to disclose information about me and my performance under this Note: (i) on a regular basis to credit reporting agencies and affiliates of the Note Holder, or (ii) where the Note Holder reasonably believes disclosure is necessary to ensure my compliance with this Note and Mortgage. I authorize the Note Holder to obtain reports from others (such as employers, creditors, lenders and credit reporting agencies) from time to time bearing on my credit status. This permission applies to all of us if this is a loan signed by more than one Borrower. The Borrower agrees to fully cooperate in the correction and adjustment of any errors in the loan documents if deemed necessary or desirable by the Note Holder to comply with any law or regulation, or to meet the terms and conditions of the loan approval. 10. ARBITRATION I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THIS NOTE PROVIDES THAT EXCEPT AS DETAILED IN THIS PARAGRAPH, ALL CLAIMS (AS DEFINED BELOW) WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. BY SIGNING THIS NOTE, THE PARTIES VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO LITIGATE THE CLAIM IN COURT, PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OR CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR CLAIMS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. (A) AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS. Any claim, dispute or controversy (collectively "Claim") between the Note Holder and me (except those listed below in Paragraph B below including but not limited to those arising out of this Note and/or Security Instrument (collectively "Credit Documents")), my application, advertisements, servicing and collection of this Note, any outstanding balance, insurance products or services, as well as any other disclosure or document related to the Credit Documents shall exclusively be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION by an arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with: (i) the Federal Arbitration Act; (ii) the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Rules of the AAA and the AAA Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes and (iii) this Paragraph. The term Claim shall be given the broadest possible meaning. The terms of this paragraph shall control any inconsistency between the arbitration rules and this Paragraph. I may obtain a copy of the arbitration rules by writing the AAA at American Arbitration Association, 335 Madison Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10017-4605. An action to compel arbitration may be brought at any time even after a Claim has been commenced or raised in a court of law or equity or the Note has been paid in full. At my written request the Note Holder will pay all my fees up to $1,000 for the AAA's cost of the arbitration of the Claim. If the cost of the AAA arbitration exceeds $1,000 the parties will share the excess cost equally unless otherwise ordered by the AAA because my costs in pursuing the arbitration would be prohibitive. Unless inconsistent with applicable law each party shall pay his/her own attorney, expert and witness fees and expenses. (B) CLAIMS EXCLUDED FROM JURISDICTION. The following actions shall not be subject to arbitration: any foreclosure action; any action to obtain possession of the property securing the Note; any action for prejudgment injunctive relief or appointment of receiver(s) unless for these actions an arbitrator can provide the relief that a court can provide. In addition, the Note Holder agrees that it will not require me to arbitrate an individual Claim brought against the Note Holder in small claims court or my state's equivalent court, if any; however, if that Claim is transferred or appealed to a different court, the Note Holder reserves the right to require arbitration under this paragraph. (C) JUDGMENT AND ADDITIONAL TERMS. Any arbitration award shall be final and may be entered as a judgment in any court having jurisdiction, except that if the amount in controversy exceeds $10,000 either party may appeal the arbitrator's award to a three-arbitrator panel of the AAA which shall reconsider de novo any aspect of the initial award. The costs of such appeal will be borne by the appealing party regardless of the outcome of the appeal. I agree that any arbitration proceeding will only consider my Claims. Claims by or on behalf of other borrowers, co-borrowers, co-signers, sureties or applicants will not be arbitrated in any proceeding that is considering my Claim. This Paragraph shall survive any termination of this Note or the Security Instrument including but not limited to repayments of amounts owed on this Note and an event of default. If this loan has been transferred to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac this section shall be void. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, this shall invalidate the remaining portions of the arbitration provision but not the Credit Documents. NOTICE TO BORROWER Do not sign this loan agreement before you read it. This loan agreement may provide for the payment of a penalty if you wish to repay the loan prior to the date provided for the repayment in the loan agreement.

Borrower and Lender covenant and agree as follows: 1. Payment of Principal and Interest. Borrower shall promptly pay when due the principal and interest indebtedness evidenced by the Note and late charges as provided in the Note. 2. Funds for Taxes and Insurance. Subject to applicable law or a waiver by Lender, Borrower shall pay to lender on the N/A day of each month, until the Note is paid in full, a sum (herein "Funds") equal to one-twelfth of the yearly taxes and assessments (including condominium and planned unit development assessments, if any) which may attain priority over this Mortgage and ground rents on the Property, if any, plus one-twelfth of yearly premium installments for hazard insurance, plus one-twelfth of yearly premium installments for mortgage insurance, if any, all as reasonable estimates thereof. Borrower shall not be obligated to make such payments of Funds to Lender to the extent that Borrower makes such payments to the holder of a prior mortgage or deed of trust if such holder is an institutional lender. IF Borrower pays Funds to Lender, the Funds shall be held in an institution the deposits or accounts of which are insured or guaranteed by a Federal or State agency (including Lender if lender is such an institution). Lender shall apply the Funds to pay said taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and ground rents. Lender may not charge for so holding and applying the Funds, analyzing said account or verifying and compiling said assessments and bills, unless Lender pays Borrower interest on the Funds and applicable law permits Lender to make such a charge. Borrower and Lender may agree in writing at the time of execution of this Mortgage that interest on the Funds shall be paid to Borrower, and unless such agreement is made or applicable law requires such interest to be paid, Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on the Funds. Lender shall give to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of the Funds showing credits and debits to the Funds and the purpose for which each debit to the Funds was made. The Funds are pledged as additional security for the sums secured by this Mortgage. If the amount of the Funds held by Lender, together with the future monthly installments of Funds payable prior to the due dates of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and ground rents, shall exceed the amount required to pay said taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and ground rents as they fall due, such excess shall be, at Borrower's option, either promptly repaid to Borrower or credited to Borrower on monthly installments of Funds. If the amount of the Funds held by Lender shall not be sufficient to pay taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and ground rents as they fall due, Borrower shall pay to lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency in one or more payments as Lender may require. Upon payment in full of all sums secured by this Mortgage, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower any Funds held by Lender. If under paragraph 17 hereof the Property is sold or the Property is otherwise acquired by lender, Lender shall apply, no later than immediately prior to the sale of the Property or its acquisition by Lender, any Funds held by Lender at the time of application as a credit against the sums secured by this Mortgage. 3. Application of Payments. Unless applicable law provides otherwise, all payments received by Lender under the Note and paragraphs 1 and 2 hereof shall be applied by Lender first in payment of amounts payable to Lender by Borrower under paragraph 2 hereof, then to interest payable on the Note, late charges if any and then to the principal of the Note. 4.

Hazard Insurance. Borrower shall keep the improvements now existing or hereafter erected on the property insured against loss by fire, hazards included within the term "extended coverage", and such other hazards as Lender may require and in such amounts and for such periods as Lender may require.

In the event of loss, Borrower shall give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and Lender. Lender may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. If the Property is abandoned by Borrower, or if Borrower fails to respond to Lender within 30 days from the date notice is mailed by Lender to Borrower that the insurance carrier offers to settle a claim for insurance benefits, Lender is authorized to collect and apply the insurance proceeds at Lender's option either to restoration or repair of the Property or to the sums secured by this Mortgage. 6. Preservation and Maintenance of Property; Leaseholds; Condominiums; Planned Unit Developments.

Protection of Lender's Security.

If Lender required mortgage insurance as a condition of making the loan secured by this Mortgage, Borrower shall pay the premiums required to maintain such insurance in effect until such time as the requirement for such insurance terminates in accordance with Borrower's and Lender's written agreement or applicable law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to this paragraph 7, with interest thereon, at the Note rate, shall become additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by this Mortgage. Unless Borrower and Lender agree to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof. Nothing contained in this paragraph 7 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder. 8. Inspection.

Borrower Not Released; Forbearance By Lender Not a Waiver. Extension of the time for payment or modification of amortization of the sums secured by this Mortgage granted by Lender to any successor in interest of Borrower shall not operate to release, in any manner, the liability of the original Borrower and Borrower's successors in interest. Lender shall not be required to commence proceeding against such successor or refuse to extend time for payment or otherwise modify amortization of the sums secured by this Mortgage by reason of any demand made by the original Borrower and Borrower's successors in interest.

This Modification Agreement ("Agreement") is made this 12th day of December, 2017. The purpose of this Agreement is to reduce my interest rate and adjust the payments accordingly. B. You and I agree to permanently modify the interest rate and the monthly payment amount of my original Note secured by a Mortgage Deed/Deed of Trust or amendments thereto ("Credit Agreement") dated 11/08/2006. The provisions and references in my Credit Agreement to an Adjustable Rate Rider or to an adjustable or variable interest rate are hereby terminated, including, but not limited to, all notices required pursuant to those provisions.

G. That, as of the Modification Effective Date, notwithstanding any other provision of the Account Documents, I agree as follows: If all or any part of the Property or any interest in it is sold or transferred without Servicer's prior written consent, Servicer may, at its option, require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by the Mortgage. However, Servicer shall not exercise this option if state or federal law, rules or regulations prohibit the exercise of such option as of the date of such sale or transfer. If Servicer exercises this option, Servicer shall give me notice of acceleration. The notice shall provide a period of not less than 30 days from the date the notice is delivered or mailed within which I must pay all sums secured by the Mortgage. If I fail to pay these sums prior to the expiration of this period, Servicer may invoke any remedies permitted by the Mortgage without further notice or demand on me. H. That, I will cooperate fully with Servicer in obtaining any title endorsement(s), or similar title insurance product(s), and/or subordination agreement(s) that are necessary or required by the Servicer's procedures to ensure that the modified mortgage Account is in first lien position and/or is fully enforceable upon modification and that if, under any circumstance and not withstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer does not receive such title endorsement(s), title insurance product(s) and/or subordination agreement(s), then the terms of this Agreement will not become effective on the Modification Effective Date and the Agreement will be null and void. I. That I will execute such other documents as may be reasonably necessary to either (i) consummate the terms and conditions of this Agreement; or (ii) correct the terms and conditions of this Agreement if an error is detected after execution of this Agreement. I understand that a corrected Agreement will be provided to me and this Agreement will be void and of no legal effect upon notice of such error. If I elect not to sign any such corrected Agreement, the terms of the original Account Documents shall continue in full force and effect, such terms will not be modified by this Agreement, and I will not be eligible for a modification under the Program. J. I agree that if any document related to the Account Documents and/or this Agreement is lost, misplaced, misstated, inaccurately reflects the true and correct terms and conditions of the Account as modified, or is otherwise missing, I will comply with the Servicer's request to execute, acknowledge, initial and deliver to the Servicer any documentation the Servicer deems necessary. If the original promissory note is replaced, the Servicer hereby indemnifies me against any loss associated with a demand on the original note. All documents the Servicer requests of me under this Section 4.J. shall be referred to as "Documents." I agree to deliver the Documents within ten (10) days after I receive the Servicer's written request for such replacement. K. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc.
