U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association v. Skylar Meeks

Filed: Mar 27, 2026
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s get one thing straight: in the world of petty civil drama, nothing hits quite like a bank trying to repossess someone’s home over a debt that’s less than the price of a new Honda Civic. But here we are, deep in the heart of Holdenville, Oklahoma—population: just enough to fill a high school football team—where U.S. Bank is filing to foreclose on a modest slice of suburban real estate over $33,089.30. That’s not a typo. Thirty-three grand. And change. For a house. In 2026. It’s like watching someone get arrested for stealing a candy bar, except the candy bar is your entire life savings and the store is a multinational financial institution.

Now, who are these people? On one side, we’ve got U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, which—despite the impressively long name—is not actually suing in its own self-interest. Nope. It’s acting as a trustee, a legal placeholder managing money for a shadowy pool of investors known only as the “CIM Trust 2021-R2, Mortgage-Backed Notes, Series 2021-R2.” Sounds like a secret government project, but really, it’s just Wall Street’s way of slicing up your mortgage and selling pieces of it to strangers who’ve never even seen Holdenville on a map. The bank is represented by the law firm Baer & Timberlake, P.C., and specifically by attorney Don Timberlake, who probably spends his days signing foreclosure petitions the way the rest of us sign birthday cards—on autopilot, with a coffee in hand.

On the other side? Skylar Meeks, the current owner of the property at 309 Grimes Street, and a few vaguely defined others: the “Spouse of Skylar Meeks” (identity unknown), and the mysterious “Occupant(s) of the Premises,” which could be anyone from a roommate to a raccoon living in the attic. But the real ghost in this machine? Amy Conn McDaniel, a woman who was very much alive when she signed for this loan back in 2004, and who, according to the filing, remained single until her death on May 19, 2024. That’s right—this mortgage predates Facebook, the iPhone, and probably Skylar Meeks’ driver’s license. And somewhere between then and now, the deed changed hands—likely through inheritance or sale—but the debt didn’t vanish. It just kept ticking, like a financial time bomb buried in the foundation.

So what happened? Let’s rewind. On December 22, 2004, Amy McDaniel borrowed $57,041.05 from Household Finance Corporation III (a name so aggressively bland it sounds like a tax write-off) to buy or refinance her home in the Diamond Country Club Addition—a neighborhood that, despite the fancy name, is not, in fact, adjacent to a golf course with private caddies and shrimp cocktails. The loan came with a 30-year term, a starting interest rate of 9.98%, and monthly payments of $499.74. There was even a quirky little clause: if McDaniel made 12 consecutive on-time payments, her interest rate would drop by 0.25%, up to 12 times. It was like a mortgage loyalty program. Buy enough lattes, get a free shot.

But somewhere along the line, the payments stopped. According to the petition, the default occurred on May 29, 2025—just a year before this lawsuit was filed. That means the last payment was likely due in April 2025, and when it didn’t come, the bank pulled the plug. Now, under the terms of the mortgage, missing payments triggers a domino effect: the entire balance becomes due immediately, the lender can foreclose, and they’re entitled to attorney fees, court costs, and any expenses incurred protecting the property (like paying for insurance or taxes if the homeowner doesn’t). The current balance? $33,089.30 in unpaid principal, plus interest accruing at 6.98% since April 29, 2025. That’s right—after two decades, McDaniel (and later, Meeks) had paid down over half the original loan. But in the eyes of the law, one missed payment is all it takes to lose everything.

Why are they in court? Because U.S. Bank wants to foreclose—legalese for “take the house and sell it to recoup the debt.” They’re not suing Skylar Meeks for the money personally (at least not in this filing); they’re suing the property itself, in a legal maneuver known as in rem jurisdiction. That’s why the defendants include not just Meeks, but also the “Spouse” and “Occupant(s)”—anyone who might claim a stake in the home must be notified or risk losing their rights forever. The bank is asking the court to declare its mortgage a “first, prior and superior lien,” meaning it gets paid first if the house is sold. They also want the court to order the property auctioned off, with the proceeds going to cover the debt, legal fees, and any costs. Any leftover money? Goes to the court, to be fought over later. And if the sale doesn’t cover the full amount? Well, that’s not the bank’s problem—this is a foreclosure, not a negotiation.

Now, what do they want? The bank isn’t asking for $50,000. Or even $40,000. They want $33,089.30, plus interest, fees, and costs. Is that a lot? In the grand scheme of mortgages—yes and no. It’s not a six-figure crisis. But for a homeowner in rural Oklahoma, where the median household income is around $50,000, losing your home over $33K is catastrophic. And here’s the kicker: the original loan was for nearly $57K. After 20 years of payments, the debt should’ve been much lower. But somewhere in the fine print—possibly in those allonges (legal attachments that transfer the note from one lender to another like a hot potato)—the math got messy. Or maybe insurance was force-placed, taxes were advanced, fees piled up. Whatever the reason, the number on the table is just shy of what a decent used car costs. And the trade-in? A house.

Our take? The most absurd part of this case isn’t the amount. It’s the bureaucratic ghost story it tells. A woman named Amy McDaniel took out a loan in 2004. She died in 2024. Somewhere in between, her debt was packaged, sold, securitized, and handed off to a trustee who doesn’t even own it—just manages it for people we’ll never meet. Now, in 2026, a man named Skylar Meeks—whose connection to McDaniel is never explained—is on the hook for a debt he didn’t sign, over a house that may have been inherited, all because one payment slipped through the cracks. The system isn’t broken—it’s working exactly as designed. But for whom? Not for the person sleeping in that house tonight, wondering if they’ll still have a roof tomorrow. We’re rooting for due process. We’re rooting for clarity. And honestly? We’re rooting for someone to just pick up the phone and work this out before another American loses their home to a spreadsheet.

REQUIRED INSURANCE. You must obtain insurance for term of loan covering security for this loan as indicated by the word *YES* below, naming us as Loss Payee: YES Title insurance on real estate security. Hazard insurance on real estate security. Physical damage insurance on vehicle listed under "Security" above if "Y" appears under "Insured". Physical damage insurance on other property listed under "Security" above if "Y" appears under "Insured". You may obtain any required insurance from anyone you choose and may assign any other policy of insurance you own to cover the security for this loan. (See "Security" paragraph above for description of security to be insured.) NOTICE: THE FOLLOWING PAGES CONTAIN ADDITIONAL CONTRACT TERMS. PAYMENT. In return for your loan described below, you agree to pay us, the Principal and Interest computed at the Contract Rate (subject to any adjustment under the Adjustment to Contract Rate section below) and any monthly insurance premium, if elected. Principal is Amount Financed, plus Points and Closing Fee. The term Points means the Origination Fee (Points) shown on page one. You shall pay us monthly payments, at our business address or other address given you. If more than one Borrower is named on page one, we may enforce this Contract against all, or any Borrowers, but not in a combined amount greater than the amount owed. Payments are applied in the following order: late charges, interest at the Contract Rate for the actual time outstanding, principal, and insurance. For any past due amounts, payments will be applied to the most delinquent monthly installment first, in the same order shown above, until all past due monthly installments are paid in full. DATE ON WHICH INTEREST BEGINS. If you do not cancel this loan within three business days according to your "Notice of Right to Rescind," then the date on which Interest begins, payment dates, and effective date of optional insurance purchased on page one are postponed by the number of days from this Agreement's date to date you receive this loan. ADJUSTMENT TO CONTRACT RATE. The Contract Rate, as shown on page one, will decrease by one quarter of one percent (.25) beginning with the thirteenth (13th) month after every twelve (12) consecutive month period where all payments were made in full within 30 days of their due date. Up to maximum of twelve (12) Contract Rate reductions are available during the term. For each Contract Rate reduction, the monthly installment payment will be reduced accordingly. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, you will not receive any Contract Rate Reductions or the reduced monthly payment after four periods of delinquency. A "period of delinquency" begins when you fail to make a payment in full within 30 days of the due date and ends when you have no payments that are outstanding for more than 30 days past their due date. PAY-OUTS. You agree to pay-outs of Amount Financed as shown on Truth-In-Lending disclosure form. If pay-outs change because loan closing is delayed, (a) you shall pay additional amounts due at closing, or (b) your cash or check will be reduced to cover additional pay-outs. PREPAYMENT. You may prepay any or all of your loan at any time. If you fully prepay before the final payment due date, the amount you owe will be reduced by unearned credit insurance charges, if any. Points and Closing Fee are fully earned when this loan is made, and you will not receive a refund of that part of the Finance Charge consisting of Points and Closing Fee. BAD CHECK CHARGE. We will charge you a fee of $25 if any payment check is returned because of insufficient funds or is otherwise dishonored. You agree that we may deduct this charge from a monthly payment. DEFAULT. If you don't pay on time, fail to keep required insurance in force, are in default under your Mortgage, or have changed your residence since the time this loan was made: (1) all your payments may become due at once, and (2) without notifying you before bringing suit, we may sue you for the entire unpaid balance of Principal and accrued Interest. If the Amount Financed stated on page one is over $3,800 (or such higher amount set by rule on the date of this Agreement), you will also pay our reasonable attorney fees not over 15% of the amount you then owe (if attorney is not our salaried employee) and our reasonable expenses incurred in realizing on any security interest. However, if the Amount Financed is $3,800 or less, (or such higher amount as set by rule on the date of this Agreement) a court may award reasonable attorney fees in accordance with the laws of the state of Oklahoma. LATE CHARGE. If you don't pay the entire monthly installment within 10 days after the due date, you agree to pay a late charge of the greater of 5% of the monthly installment (excluding any unpaid late charges and amounts due from prior billing statements), or $19.00. SECURITY. You are giving us a mortgage on your real estate, located at your address unless a different address is stated. You agree to give us a security interest in the real estate as described in Mortgage/Deed of Trust. PROPERTY INSURANCE: A. YOUR OBLIGATION TO INSURE. You shall keep the structures located on the real property securing this loan insured against damage caused by fire and other physical hazards, name us as a loss payee and deliver to us a loss payable endorsement. If insurance covering the real property is cancelled or expires while the loan is outstanding and you do not reinstate the coverage, we may obtain, at our option, hazard insurance coverage protecting our interest in the real property as outlined below. B. LENDER'S RIGHT TO PLACE HAZARD INSURANCE. You authorize us, at our option, to obtain coverage on the Property in an amount not greater than the outstanding balance of principal and interest on the loan or, if known to be less, the replacement value of the Property, in the event that you fail to maintain the required hazard insurance outlined above or fail to provide adequate proof of its existence. You authorize us to charge you for the costs of this insurance and add the insurance NOTICE: THE FOLLOWING PAGE CONTAINS ADDITIONAL CONTRACT TERMS. charges to your loan. The Insurance charges will be added to the unpaid balance of the loan which accrues interest at the Contract Rate. The addition of the insurance charges due might increase the amount of your final installment. The cost of Lender placed hazard insurance might be higher than the cost of standard insurance protecting the property. The Lender placed insurance will not insure the contents of the property or provide liability coverage. The insurance might not be the lowest cost coverage of its type available and you agree that we have no obligation to obtain the lowest cost coverage. We or an affiliated company might receive some benefit from the placement of this insurance and you will be charged for the full cost of the premium without reduction for any such benefit. If at any time after we have obtained this insurance, you provide adequate proof that you have subsequently purchased the required coverage, we will cancel the coverage we obtained and credit any unearned premiums to your loan. CREDIT REPORTING AND CUSTOMER INFORMATION PRACTICES. If you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligation, a negative report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a Credit Reporting Agency. You agree that the Department of Motor Vehicles (or your state's equivalent of such department) may release your residence address to us, should it become necessary to locate you.

Dated this 30th day of December 2004 Bobby W. Smith, Hughes County Treasurer By __________________________ Deputy EXHIBIT B TOGETHER with all the improvements now or hereafter erected on the property, and all easements, rights, appurtenances and rents, all of which shall be deemed to be and remain a part of the property covered by this Mortgage; and all of the foregoing, together with said property (or the leasehold estate if this Mortgage is on a leasehold) are hereinafter referred to as the "Property." Borrower covenants that Borrower is lawfully seised of the estate hereby conveyed and has the right to Mortgage, grant and convey, the Property, and that the Property is unencumbered, except for encumbrances of record. Borrower covenants that Borrower warrants and will defend generally the title to the Property against all claims and demands, subject to encumbrances of record. UNIFORM COVENANTS. 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, including any variations resulting from changes in the contract rate, and late charges as provided in the Note. 2. Funds for Taxes and Insurance. Subject to applicable law and only if requested in writing by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the day monthly payments of principal and interest are payable under the Note, 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 reasonably estimated initially and from time to time by Lender on the basis of assessments and bills and 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 or the Note provide 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 at the applicable contract rate, and then to the principal of the Note. 4. Prior Mortgages and Deed of Trust; Charges; Liens. Borrower shall perform all of Borrower's obligations under any mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement with a lien which has priority over this Mortgage, including Borrower's covenants to make payments when due. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes, assessments and other charges, fines and impositions attributable to the Property which may attain a priority over this Mortgage, and leasehold payments or ground rents, if any. 5. 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. The insurance carrier providing the insurance shall be chosen by the Borrower subject to approval by Lender; provided, that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All insurance policies and renewals thereof shall be in a form acceptable to Lender and shall include a standard mortgage clause in favor of and in a form acceptable to Lender. Lender shall have the right to hold the policies and renewals thereof, subject to the terms of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement with a lien which has priority over this Mortgage. 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. Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, insurance proceeds shall be applied to restoration or repair of the Property damaged, if the restoration or repair is economically feasible and Lender's security is not lessened. If the restoration or repair is not economically feasible or Lender's security would be lessened, the insurance proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due, with any excess paid to 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. Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, any application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly payments referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 or change the amount of the payments. If under paragraph 19 the Property is acquired by Lender, Borrower's right to any insurance policies and proceeds resulting from damage to the Property prior to the acquisition shall pass to Lender to the extent of the sums secured by this Security Instrument immediately prior to the acquisition. 6. Preservation and Maintenance of Property; Leaseholds; Condominiums; Planned Unit Developments. Borrower shall keep the Property in good repair and shall not commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Property and shall comply with the provisions of any lease if this Mortgage is on a leasehold. If this Mortgage is on a unit in a condominium or a planned unit development, Borrower shall perform all of Borrower's obligations under the declaration or covenants creating or governing the condominium or planned unit development, the by-laws and regulations of the condominium or planned unit development, and constituent documents. 7. Protection of Lender's Security. If Borrower fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage, or, if any action or proceeding is commenced which materially affects Lender's interest in the Property, then Lender, at Lender's option, upon notice to Borrower, may make such appearances, disburse such sums, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and take such action as is necessary to protect Lender's interest. 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. Any amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to this paragraph 7, with interest thereon, at the applicable contract 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 and all other parties who are or who hereafter become secondarily liable 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 proceedings 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. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any such right or remedy. 11. Successors and Assigns Bound; Joint and Several Liability; Co-signers. The covenants and agreements herein contained shall bind, and the rights hereunder shall inure to, the respective successors and assigns of Lender and Borrower, subject to the provisions of paragraph 16 hereof. All covenants and agreements of Borrower shall be joint and several. Any Borrower who co-signs this Mortgage, but does not execute the Note, (a) is co-signing this Mortgage only to mortgage, grant and convey that Borrower's interest in the Property to Lender under the terms of this Mortgage, (b) is not personally liable on the Note or under this Mortgage, and (c) agrees that Lender and any other Borrower hereunder may agree to extend, modify, forgive, or the make any other accommodations with regard to the terms of this Mortgage or the Note without that Borrower's consent and without releasing that Borrower or modifying this Mortgage as to that Borrower's interest in the Property. 12.

Where no applicable law is contained therein, the state and local laws of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located shall apply except where such laws conflict with Federal law; in which case, Federal law applies. The foregoing sentence shall not limit the applicability of Federal law to this Mortgage. In the event that any provision or clause of this Mortgage or the Note conflicts with applicable law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of this Mortgage or the Note which can be given effect without the conflicting provision, and to this end the provisions of this Mortgage and the Note are declared to be severable. As used herein, "costs," "expenses" and "attorneys' fees" include all sums to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or limited herein. 14. Borrower's Copy. Borrower shall be furnished a conformed copy of the Note and of this Mortgage, if requested, at the time of execution or after recordation hereof. 15. Rehabilitation Loan Agreement.

If Lender does not agree to such sale or transfer, Lender may declare all of the sums secured by this Mortgage to be immediately due and payable. If Lender exercises such option to accelerate, Lender shall mail Borrower notice of acceleration in accordance with paragraph 12 hereof. Such notice shall provide a period of not less than 30 days from the date the notice is mailed or delivered within which Borrower may pay the sums declared due. If Borrower fails to pay such sums prior to the expiration of such period, Lender may, without further notice or demand on Borrower, invoke any remedies permitted by paragraph 17 hereof. NON-UNIFORM COVENANTS. Borrower and Lender further covenant and agree as follows: 17. Acceleration; Remedies. Except as provided in paragraph 16 hereof, or as otherwise required by law, upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this Mortgage, including the covenants to pay when due any sums secured by this Mortgage, Lender prior to acceleration shall give notice to Borrower as provided in paragraph 12 hereof specifying: (1) the breach; (2) the action required to cure such breach; (3) a date, not less than 10 days from the date the notice is mailed to Borrower, by which such breach must be cured; and (4) that failure to cure such breach on or before the date specified in the notice may result in acceleration of the sums secured by this Mortgage, foreclosure by judicial proceeding, and sale of the Property. The notice shall further inform Borrower of the right to reinstate after acceleration and the right to assert in the foreclosure proceeding the nonexistence of a default or any other defense of Borrower to acceleration and foreclosure. If the breach is not cured on or before the date specified in the notice, Lender, at Lender's option, may declare all of the sums secured by this Mortgage to be immediately due and payable without further demand and may foreclose this Mortgage by judicial proceeding. Lender shall be entitled to collect in such proceeding all expenses of foreclosure, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, and costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports. 18. Borrower's Right to Reinstate. Notwithstanding Lender's acceleration of the sums secured by this Mortgage due to Borrower's breach, Borrower shall have the right to have any proceedings begun by Lender to enforce this Mortgage discontinued at any time prior to entry of a judgment enforcing this Mortgage if: (a) Borrower pays Lender all sums which would be then due under this Mortgage and the Note had no acceleration occurred; (b) Borrower cures all breaches of any other covenants or agreements of Borrower contained in this Mortgage; (c) Borrower pays all reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in enforcing the covenants and agreements of Borrower contained in this Mortgage, and in enforcing Lender's remedies as provided in paragraph 17 hereof, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees; and (d) Borrower takes such action as Lender may reasonably require to assure that the lien of this Mortgage, Lender's interest in the Property and Borrower's obligation to pay the sums secured by this Mortgage shall continue unimpaired. Upon such payment and cure by Borrower, this Mortgage and the obligations secured hereby shall remain in full force and effect as if no acceleration had occurred. 19. Appointment of Receiver. Upon acceleration under paragraph 17 hereof or abandonment of the Property, Lender shall be entitled to have a receiver appointed by a court to enter upon, take possession of and manage the Property and to collect the rents of the Property including those past due.

The receiver shall be liable to account only for those rents actually received. 20. Release. Upon payment of all sums secured by this Mortgage, Lender shall release this Mortgage. Borrower shall pay all costs of recordation, if any. 21. Waiver of Appraisement. Appraisalment of the Property hereby waived or not waived at Lender's option, which shall be exercised at the time judgment is entered in any foreclosure hereof or at any time prior thereto. 22.
