COMPLAINT
1. This is an action for violations of numerous California State and Federal laws and
contractual rights of the Plaintiff which resulted in damage to the Plaintiff. The actions of the
Defendants relating to the Promissory Note and Deed of Trust purportedly securing her property to
the condition of her repayment stated in that Promissory Note, and the non-judicial foreclosure
effectuated on the Plaintiff and her property constitute unfair trade practices, and wilful, intentional
wrongful and illegal conduct which require this Courts intervention
2. Plaintiff, Savannah Ally Jackson, by and through her attorney of record, Emmanuel
F. Fobi, SBN 210764, alleges the following, on information and belief:
I. PARTIES
3. At all times relevant to this Complaint, Plaintiff Savannah Ally Jackson, (formerly
known as Alyson J. Denk), (Plaintiff) was a resident of Inyo County located in the State of
California, was a citizen of the United States of America, and was/is an individual residing at a
residential home, legally described as:

5. At all times relevant to this Complaint, Defendant DECISION ONE MORTGAGE
COMPANY, LLC, (DECISION ONE), was the entity purported to be the lender on the
Plaintiffs Deed of Trust and Promissory Note.
6. Defendant DECISION ONE is therefore sued in its capacity as a corporation
organized and operated under the laws of the State of North Carolina.
7. Defendant DECISION ONEs true name and any other capacity are not currently
known beyond this, and the Plaintiff therefore reserves the right to amend her Complaint to add
those facts when ascertained.
8. Defendant AMERICAS SERVICING COMPANY, (ASC), is believed to be a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of a State currently unknown to the Plaintiff
whos corporate headquarters are currently unknown to the Plaintiff.
9. Defendant ASC was the purported servicer on the Plaintiffs alleged refinance
loan. Without any evidence of a change to a different position, Defendant ASC was falsely and
fraudulently touted as the creditor and beneficiary of the Plaintiffs Note and Deed of Trust
Exhibit 4 herein, the Notice of Default and Election to Sell.
10. Defendant ASC refused to communicate with the Plaintiff, failed to properly
respond to multiple Qualified Written Requests, and stonewalled every attempt by the Plaintiff to
work out a loan modification based on the fact that the loan product she was put in had terms and
conditions so one-sided and onerous, as to be illegal.
11. Defendant ASC is therefore sued in its capacity as a corporation.
12. Defendant ASCs true name and any other capacity are not currently known beyond
this, and the Plaintiff therefore reserves the right to amend her Complaint to add those facts when
ascertained.

13. Defendant MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, Inc.
(MERS), has been a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware, and has an
address of P.O. Box 2026, Flint, Michigan 48501-2026. Defendant MERS is a foreign corporation
with relation to The State of California, and until July of 2010, was not registered to do business in
this State.
14. Defendant MERS is listed as the nominee beneficiary on the Plaintiffs Deed of
Trust. The true nature of what this meant, why MERS was involved to facilitate the securitization
of the Plaintiffs Promissory Note, and the resulting legal quagmire played out on the Official
Land Records of every single county recorders office in the country was never fully disclosed to
the Plaintiff.
15. Defendant MERS is also later evidenced as having executed an Assignment of the
Plaintiffs Note and Deed of Trust to Defendant DEUTSCHE. This was done by an individual
claiming to be the Assistant Vice President of Defendant MERS signing that assignment, even
though MERS former CEO admitted in testimony given under oath that MERS has no employees.
16. Defendant MERS executed that Assignment in exchange for VALUE from
Defendant DEUTSCHE. MERS has executed millions of these assignments, including the one in
this case, all without paying a single cent in California State taxes, despite millions of these
assignments stating on the face of the document that MERS executed the assignment, FOR
VALUE RECEIVED.
17. Defendant MERS has transacted business throughout the State of California,
including the County of Inyo, specifically by selling to be right, title and interest in the Plaintiff
and others Promissory Notes and the Deeds of Trusts through these assignments. Until July of
2010, this was done by MERS without MERS having a Certificate of Qualification issued from the

Secretary of State for Defendant MERS, (an admitted foreign corporation) to legally do business
in this State. MERS failure to register was to effectuate its actual purpose facilitating the
evasion of multiple forms of California State taxes.
18. Under California Law, the assignment in this case is void for MERS failure to pay
the requisite taxes.
19. Defendant MERS is therefore sued in its capacity as a corporation organized and
operated under the laws of the State of Delaware.
20. Defendant MERS true name and any other capacity are not currently known
beyond this and the Plaintiff therefore reserves the right to amend her Complaint to add those facts
when ascertained.
21. At all times relevant to this Complaint, Defendant DEUTSCHE BANK
NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY AS TRUSTEE FOR ASSET SECURITIZATION
CORPORATION TRUST 2007-HE2, (DEUTSCHE), a business entity, form unknown; has been
a corporation organized and existing under the laws of a State currently unknown to the Plaintiff,
who is believed to have the current address of 1761 E Saint Andrew PL, Santa Ana CA 92705-
4934.
22. Defendant DEUTSCHE substituted out the Trustee on the Plaintiffs DOT and
substituted in Defendant NDEx prior to Defendant DEUTSCHE even appearing to attain
beneficiary status on the Plaintiffs DOT. After this, Defendant DEUTSCHE allegedly obtained
the right, title and interest to the Plaintiffs Note and DOT via an assignment from Defendant
MERS which is actually void under California Law for MERS failure to pay State taxes.
23. Defendant DEUTSCHE then directed the substituted Trustee, Defendant NDEx, to
execute, record and mail a Notice of Trustees Sale. Following that, a Trustees Sale was held

where DEUTSCHE claimed to be the foreclosing beneficiary and the grantee, receiving the
property via credit bid for $212,500.
24. That sale was subsequently rescinded, and DEUTSCHE directed NDEx to issue
another NOTS and hold another sale. At that second sale, Defendant DEUTSCHE was listed as
the grantee and as the beneficiary. Defendant DEUTSCHE became the grantee via a Credit Bid
in the amount of $199,750, and the documentary transfer tax fees were stated to be n/a.
25. Thereafter, Defendant DEUTSCHE proceeded against the Plaintiff with an
Unlawful Detainer complaint, which is currently in progress in Inyo County Superior Court.
26. Defendant DEUTSCHE is therefore sued in its capacity as a corporation.
27. Defendant DEUTSCHEs true name and any other capacity are not currently known
beyond this, and the Plaintiff therefore reserves the right to amend her Complaint to add those facts
when ascertained.
28. At all times relevant to this Complaint, Defendant WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.
(WFB), was a National Association organized and existing under the National Bank Act, who is
believed to have its corporate headquarters located at 420 Montgomery St., San Francisco, CA
94163.
29. Acting as the Attorney in Fact for Defendant DEUTSCHE, Defendant WFB
directed one of its agents to execute a document substituting out the Trustee on the Plaintiffs Deed
of Trust.
30. Defendant WFB is therefore sued in its capacity as a corporation rather than a
National Association under the protection of the National Bank Act.

of a State currently unknown to the Plaintiff, whose address is believed to have the business
address of 15000 Surveyor Blvd, Suite 100, Addison, TX 75001.
33. Defendant NDEx was listed as the c/o entity for Defendant ASC on the Notice of
Default. Defendant NDEx is also the entity who Defendants DEUTSCHE and WELLS FARGO
substituted in as the Trustee on the Plaintiffs Deed of Trust, executed the Notice of Trustees Sale
and requested it to be recorded, was an integral part of Defendant DEUTSCHES exercise of the
power of sale clause in the DOT, and was stated to be the Trustee on the Plaintiffs Deed of Trust
before, throughout and after both Trustees Sales.
34. Defendant NDEx is therefore sued in its capacity as a Limited Liability Company.

when ascertained.
36. At all times relevant to this Complaint, Defendant SERVICELINK,
(SERVICELINK), a Division of CHICAGO TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY, has been a

signature to Exhibit 7 herein, the Assignment of Deed of Trust, on March 19, 2009.
51. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Hernandez
falsely authenticated Defendant Porters signature as being authorized to act in a signatory capacity
for Defendant MERS on the March 19, 2009, ADOT, and further believes that document is void
for such.
52. Defendant Hernandez is therefore sued in both her Public and Official capacity as a

designated as its main office on its organization certificate. Wachovia Bank, N.A. v. Schmidt, 546
U.S. 303, 306 (2006).
62. Defendant MERS is, on information and belief, a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, in accordance with the provisions of Section
151(g) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
63. Defendant DECISION ONE is, on information and belief, a citizen of the State of
Delaware or the State of North Carolina, but not the State of California.
64. The Plaintiff, Savanna Ally Jackson, is a citizen of The State of California.
65. Plaintiff also invokes this Courts Supplemental Jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
1367.
66. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1391(b) inasmuch as the
unlawful practices are alleged to have been committed in this District, Defendants regularly
conduct their business in this District, the named Plaintiff resides in this District, and the Subject
Property is located in this District.
IV. FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
A. THE ALLEGED LOAN TRANSACTION
67. On or about October 26, 2006, the Plaintiff entered into a purported consumer
mortgage transaction with Defendant DECISION ONE to refinance an alleged preexisting first
mortgage.
68. The $304,500 purported loan from Defendant DECISION ONE was claimed to be
a Hybrid Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan (Purported Loan), consummated by Plaintiff through
the alleged execution of an Interest Only Adjustable Rate Note (Note), (Exhibit 1), together

with a Fixed/Adjustable Rate Rider (Rider) (Exhibit 2), and claimed to be secured by a first
Deed of Trust (DOT) (Exhibit 3) on the Plaintiffs home the Subject Property.
69. Since the Purported Loan allegedly involves a refinancing of the Plaintiff
principal dwelling, the purpose of which was for personal, household and family use, it was made
subject to rescission pursuant to the Federal Truth in Lending Act, 15 USC 1635 and 1640
(TILA), Regulation Z 226.23 (Reg. Z).
70. The Note and DOT documents constitute contracts between the Plaintiff and
Defendant DECISION ONE.
71. The Rider was attached to the back of the DOT, and on November 30, 2006, the
Rider and DOT were recorded in the Inyo County Recorders Office as Document Number 2006-
0004926.
72. At the time Plaintiff executed the Note, she did not realize that Defendant
DECISION ONE had not given consideration under California Civil Code 3391 to her prior to
her actual signing of the Note despite the fact that the Note specifically states: In return for a
loan that I have received, I promise to pay . . . , plus interest, to the order of Lender.
73. In addition to the above, this language falsely implies defendant DECISION ONE
actually paid consideration in the form of loaning money to the Plaintiff out of its own stocks,
bonds, and/or assets, prior to the Plaintiff signing the Note, and thereby putting its own capital at
risk as the Plaintiff was putting her home at risk as consideration for the consummation of this
transaction.
74. Defendant DECISION ONE falsely claims to have paid consideration, and to make
defendant DECISION ONEs claim of having paid consideration an even greater

misrepresentation, Banks are constitutionally prohibited from lending credit pursuant to U.S.
Const. Art. 1, 10, Cl. 1.
75. The alleged loan has no substance and was created to give the effect that
Defendant DECISION ONE gave something of intrinsic value in exchange for the Plaintiff Note.
However, it is not legal for Defendant DECISION ONE to (1) emit a bill of credit (See U.S.
Const. Art. 1, 10, Cl. 1) and (2) loan anything of intrinsic value, i.e. gold or silver (See HJR
192).
76. To date, there has been no evidence presented publicly, or privately which shows
that Defendant DECISION ONE actually ever loaned the Plaintiff any of its own stocks, bonds,
or assets, or whether Defendant DECISION ONE was simply a broker who accepted the
Plaintiffs Promissory Note, had her execute a Deed of Trust on her home, then pre-sold her
loan to the secondary market, providing the alleged funds of $304,500 through such sale to
the secondary market.
77. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that would reduce Defendant
DECISION ONE from a true lender and originator of the funds, down to a mere broker who
was actually in the middle of the Plaintiff and the entity/entities who actually originated the funds
for this alleged loan.
78. Before, during and/or after the settlement, Defendants failed and/or refused to
provide Plaintiff with copies of important documents, including the complete mortgage and Note,
which would explain their consumer rights, as well as other rights, including but not limited to, the
right to cancel the contract and the Federal Truth in Lending Disclosures.
79. Defendants also intentionally failed and/or refused to provide Plaintiff various
disclosures that would indicate to Plaintiff that the contract entered into was unconscionable,

92. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant MERS
address is not the address to which monthly payments on the alleged loan were ever directed to.
93. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant MERS is not

such, MERS has no authority as a true beneficiary of the DOT and is the beneficiary under the
DOT in name only, as a shell to effectuate local, state and federal taxes.
98. AMERICAS SERVICING COMPANY (ASC) was stated to be the Servicer
of the Plaintiffs purported refinance mortgage loan package. Later, with no documentation
supporting such claims, ASC purported to be the creditor and beneficiary on the Plaintiffs Note
and DOT contracts in the Notice of Default document.
C. UNCONSCIONABILITY OF DEED OF TRUST
99. For the Note and DOT contracts to be consummated, the language of the Note
contract required the Plaintiff to agree that, Borrower warrants and will defend generally the title
to the Property . . .. Exhibit 3 at 3.
100. In direct contradiction of this, the language of the DOT contract defines the
condition of the title upon the Plaintiffs fulfillment of all her contractual requirements and
obligations under the Note and DOT contracts. Regarding the condition of the Title of the
Subject Property when transferring from the alleged lender back to the borrower, the DOT states,
Trustee shall reconvey the Property without warranty to the person or persons legally entitled
to it . . . . Exhibit 3 at 12, 23. (Emphasis added).
101. The Plaintiff did not have a full understanding of the true nature of these phrases,
the reasons for them, and the legal effect of such contractual language.
102. The Promissory Note and the DOT were both adhesion contracts, proposed to
the Plaintiff on a take-it or leave-it basis. The Plaintiff did not have a choice to require the
purported lender, Defendant DECISION ONE, to warranty the title back to her in the
contractual language upon her satisfaction of the purported loan.

103. The Plaintiff, in signing the Promissory Note, promised to make all payments to
the Note Holder on time. The Plaintiff made 3 payments to Defendant DECISION ONE before
she was noticed of a new servicer, Defendant ASC, a Division of Defendant WFB, to begin
sending her monthly mortgage payments to.
104. The Plaintiff was current and on time, with a perfect payment history record and a
credit rating that was up, until October 2008, when the economy slowed down over the course of
the year and the Plaintiff had completely exhausted all savings and asset accounts. At that point,
the payment schedule was beyond what her current financial status could tolerate.
105. In June of 2008, the Plaintiff made numerous phone calls to her servicer ASC to
inquire about getting some sort of help or restructuring of her loan because she was having
employment and financial hardships and she wished to continue to make payments but could not
afford the payment of $2210.00 each month. This was prior to October and prior to being unable
to make payments.
106. The Plaintiff temporarily moved to Los Angeles in June 2008, to attempt to
remedy her current financial hardship, and relocate to a place where she thought she would have
plenty of work without the travel expenses. She thought she could rent her home out in Bishop to
cover part of the mortgage while she worked to cover the remainder of the mortgage and rent
costs in Los Angeles, she had not had to work this much nor consider relocating in her entire
residence in Bishop since 2003.
107. The Plaintiff at this point began researching the best possible way to return to
honor and save her home. In January of 2009, the Plaintiff, began employment at the Federal
Loan Modification Law Center (FLM) where she counseled hundreds of distressed homeowners
across the country. She also learned many of the predatory lending practices which are in place

today that led to our massive destruction of economy utilizing Mortgage Backed Securities and
the current Home Loan market climate.
108. As an employee of FLM Law Center, and seeing the impending crisis she
personally was facing, she inquired about getting herself into a loan modification through FLM so
as to avoid foreclosure, as she had not made a payment for 3 months.
109. The Plaintiff learned there had been a moratorium on foreclosures which had been
approved by California Legislation in February 2008 by Arnold Schwarzenegger, which gave
distressed homeowners an additional 90 days to work out a remedy for their situations.
110. The Plaintiff received the Notice of Default and Election to Sell in February of
2009, after she had attempted numerous times to get some sort of help with her loan prior to going
into default. She was told by ASC that they would not assist her until she was at least 2 months in
Default.
111. The Plaintiff sent all paperwork for a loan modification to ASC though the FLM
Law Center in order to begin the modification process, hopefully to get herself into a lower
interest rate, a longer loan term, a forbearance, or a stair-step program which would give her a
few years to recover financially and begin making payments normally again.
112. The Plaintiff worked for FLM until they went out of business in March 2009.
Leading up to the companys failure, the Attorney General extensively investigated FLM,
approved them to continue business, but their ACH transacting bank would not allow them to
operate with their prior emergency fund amounts, and froze their accounts indefinitely. As a
result, The Plaintiff took her loan modification into her own hands and no longer was under their
employ.

113. The Plaintiff took her loan modification into her own hands when she received a
Notice of Trustees Sale which informed her the sale was set for June 2 2009, even after all of her
modification paperwork had been submitted to and received by ASC in March 2009.
114. The Plaintiff, at his time started doing extensive research into all the moving parts
of her loan and the Trustees, Note Holders and who each party was playing a part. So far the list
included Defendants NDEx, MERS, DEUTSCHE, DECISION ONE, ASC, and numerous
individuals signing on behalf of these companies.
115. The Plaintiff found after numerous phone calls, internet research and questioning
of these entities that Defendant DEUTSCHE was claimed to be the loan holder, Defendant
DECISION ONE was claimed to be the Note Holder and Defendant NDEx was the foreclosure
attorney for ASC, who was the servicer. All of this sounded more than questionable, especially
given the current mortgage crisis, and the Plaintiff wondered how each of these entities was
profiting as a result of her being the Trustor/Grantor/Settlor of the Security.
116. The Plaintiff frantically resubmitted all paperwork to avoid the impending sale
date, and narrowly missed the date by 3 days, because over the previous two months, the Plaintiff
had to call ASC every 3-4 days to ask them if they had all of the correct paperwork and
information they needed to start the modification approval process. She never received any phone
calls or letters from them saying information was missing or needed to be updated, it seemed they
were intentionally wanting her to misstep and lose her home.
117. When she finally got all of the correct information to them, ASC postponed the
Trustee sale for 30 days while they reviewed the loan modification paperwork. This went on each
and every 30 day period, until August 2009. The Plaintiff had to call the County recorders office

and the Inyo Mono Title Company to make sure the house wasnt being put up for sale, they told
her that sometimes the lender called them the morning of the sale to cancel the sale.
118. The Plaintiff got a distressed phone call from the family renting her home in
Bishop, that they received a Notice of Trustees Sale posted on the door. Despite the Plaintiffs
reassurances that she was in the process of a loan modification, the renters moved out 2 weeks
later May 25th 2009.
119. The Plaintiff was incredibly stressed as she had no way to afford both rents for
herself in Los Angeles and the now empty home in Bishop, she even offered for her renters to
stay for free a month or two until the Foreclosure threat passed, and they could stay without
concern, as the loan modification would be underway, they declined, and she was left with a very
bad financial situation.
120. The Plaintiff asked a few friends to stay at her home so the locks would not be
changed, or possession of the property taken over until the Plaintiff could figure out what to do. n
August of 2009, the Plaintiff received a phone call from the friends house sitting for her, (as the
Plaintiff was still temporary staying in Los Angeles but she was coming to her Bishop property
every 2-3 weeks to maintain her residence and pick up mail), that they awoke to a sign posted on
the door that the house had gone through the Trustee sale and had been sold, back to the Bank,
which was Defendant DEUTSCHE.
121. The Plaintiff stressed that there must be some massive mistake because the house
was going through the Loan Modification process and she had received no phone calls, no written
notices that anything was declined or approved with regards to the modification. The Plaintiff
called ASC and told them she was recording the call for her records and she then asked the call
center operator to read her the notes on her file going back to as early as January.

122. The Plaintiff listened to the call operator go through each and every entry which
included approval of the Loan modification in Late July, and the request for the paperwork to be
sent out, which the operator then stated was never done. The operator went on to read that the
investor approved a trial period of payments for three months and that the corresponding
paperwork to get sent out for that, but that paperwork was also never got sent. The operator then
read that the Trustee Sale went through as of the 8th of August. At this the call operator gasped
and said oh my goodness this is a huge mistake, we need to rescind this sale immediately.
123. The Plaintiff was then put on the call with the call operators supervisor who said
this would get rescinded immediately and the new paperwork would get sent out. The Plaintiff
requested numerous times for those notes to be transcribed and sent to her in written form so she
could have acknowledgement of their mistake in her written records. They refused, saying the
lawyers never allow us to send out anything in writing. The Plaintiff also sent written request to
Defendants ASC and NDEx, requesting written verification from their records of the massive
mistake. She never got any response.
124. The Plaintiff received new paperwork about 10 days later asking her to sign for the
new trial period payments which had incorrect date. It requested the payments begin in August
and run through November, and these first two sets of dates had already passed. The Plaintiff
again made numerous calls asking for correct paperwork, as she was not going to sign anything
with incorrect dates. At one point a very nice supervisor on the phone told the Plaintiff to go
ahead and sign it anyway as the dates didnt really matter and just you know, the dates are correct
in their files and records. The Plaintiff said thats fine but please send me the correct
paperwork unless you are asking me to sign a fraudulent misleading contract. He refused to send
new paperwork. The Plaintiff called back a week later with the same request and finally got an

operator that agreed to change the dates and send the correct paperwork, which they did. It was
now early September and the trial period was set to begin in October.
125. A few days later, the Plaintiff then received a call from a negotiator named
Crystal at ASC asking her to verbally agree to loan terms over the phone of 5% interest rate and a
30 year term with payments set to be $2,156.00 per month. The Plaintiff said how can I agree to
loan terms over the phone, are you asking me to do business over the phone with no written
record? The negotiator kept pressing for The Plaintiff to agree to these terms, like it was a sale
that was going to end. She reminded the Plaintiff of a pushy sales person. The Plaintiff said I
cant agree to anything over the phone and why dont you explain to me how a loan modification
will only get me a payment of $50 less per month, when thats what I couldnt afford in the first
place? The pushy negotiator said are you declining this loan modification, and the Plaintiff
replied no, but I need to see all the terms on paper, and I need to see the accounting of how you
came up with the monthly payment figure. The pushy negotiator continued to ask the Plaintiff
to agree to the loan terms right then and there over the phone, without seeing any written loan
terms, without seeing or taking into account any of the paperwork the Plaintiff had sent in with
monthly budget financials etc. At one point the Plaintiff said, isnt there some sort of loan
where its like a stair-step program? Where the interest rate is very low like 1-2% for a few years
and then it goes to 3-4% for a few years, etc. The negotiator said thats called the H.A.M.P.
Program and you have to qualify for that, its a separate qualification process. I said I would
like to see if I qualified for that and she said well you have to say that you refused the loan
modification I am now offering you today so we can send your paperwork over there. I accepted
this and of course they sent the Plaintiff a letter confirming she had refused the loan modification.

126. The Plaintiff received the H.A.M.P. Program paperwork in the mail about a week
later, and it told her she had to set up the trial payment plan in the amount of $2,170. It seemed
like they just pulled the numbers out of thin air and were making them up, leaving the Plaintiff
wondering where they came up with the numbers, since there was no real change in amount of her
monthly payment from prior to defaulting.
127. The Plaintiff then consulted with the Inyo County Recorders office and confirmed
their reception and recordation of the Notice of Rescission of Trustee Sale.
128. Although the Plaintiff requested this document from ASC, they never sent her the
copy so she had to pick it up from the Recorders office. This was only the beginning of what
was not sent and/or delivered properly according to all Federal and California Civil and Criminal
laws pertaining to these actions and real estate and rights of the homeowner.
E. THE NON-JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE PROCESS
(i) The Notice of Default
129. On February 12, 2009, a NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND ELECTION TO SELL
UNDER DEED OF TRUST (NOD) was executed by NDEx West, LLC, agent for
beneficiary by an individual, Defendant Cheryl L. Asher. Exhibit 4.
130. Neither the actual beneficiary nor the actual creditor were explicitly listed on
the NOD.
131. Regarding information required pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices
Act, (FDCPA), and the implied beneficiary and creditor, the NOD stated:
. . . unless the obligation being foreclosed upon or a separate
written agreement between you and your creditor permits a
longer period, you have only the legal right to stop the sale of
your property by paying the entire amount demanded by your
creditor.

132. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant ASC is
falsely implied to be the creditor and/or beneficiary on the NOD.
133. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant ASC was
not the creditor or beneficiary on the alleged loan the Plaintiff is claimed to have defaulted
on in the NOD.
134. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that neither Defendant
ASC nor Defendant NDEx were the actual creditor at the time the NOD was executed, nor at
the time the NOD was recorded.
135. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that because neither
Defendant ASC nor Defendant NDEx were the creditor at the time the NOD was executed or at
the time it was recorded, the demand for payment in the NOD was a fraudulent attempt to extort
money from the Plaintiff, made with the threat of taking away her home backing it up.
136. The NOD listed the amount of $10,208.99 as of February 12, 2009, as the amount
requested, and Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that none of the defendants
alleged responsible for this cause of action had any authority or right to request any sum from the
Plaintiff, especially the completely arbitrary and fictional amount of $10,208.99

166. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that on March 16, 2009,
when the SOT was signed and verified, Defendant DEUTSCHE was not the Beneficiary,
Creditor, Note Holder, Lender or authorized in any other manner to substitute the Trustee on
the Plaintiffs DOT.
167. This is especially important because the SOT is a document which purported to
legally substitute out CHICAGO TITLE COMPANY, and substitute in Defendant
DEUTSCHEs own agent Defendant NDEx.
168. The relevant language used in the SOT states:
WHEREAS, ALYSON J. DENK was the original Trustor,
CHICAGO TITLE COMPANY was the original Trustee, and
MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC.
(MERS) was the original Beneficiary Recorded on 11/30/2006 as
Instrument No. 2006-0004926 . . .WHEREAS, the undersigned is the

undersigned desires to substitute a new Trustee under said Deed of
Trust in place and instead of said prior Trustee.

document, rather Defendant DEUTSCHE, in concert with Defendants WFB, SERVICELINK,
NDEx, Asher, and Brown executed and this document. Id.

24. Substitute Trustee. Lender, at its option, may from time to time
appoint a successor trustee to any Trustee appointed hereunder by an
instrument executed and acknowledged by Lender and recorded in
the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Property is
located. The instrument shall contain the name of the original
Lender, Trustee and Borrower, the book and page where this
Security Instrument is recorded and the name and address of the
successor trustee.

the language of the DOT, the book and page number the DOT is recorded in is not on this
document as required by the language of the DOT, and this document was not executed by the
Lender - the only entity authorized by the DOT to execute the SOT.
172. The record is devoid of any document which would give Defendant DEUTSCHE,
in concert with Defendants WFB, SERVICELINK, NDEx, Asher, and/or Brown the legal
authority to unilaterally substitute out the old Trustee and substitute in a new one, giving that new
Trustee the legal authority to exercise the power of sale clause in that DOT.

have the authority to act on behalf of MERS in the capacity required for MERS to sell the

183. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Porter was
not an Assistant Secretary for Defendant MERS on March 19, 2009, and that the ADOT is false
and illegal because Defendant Porter lists himself as Assistant Secretary for Defendant MERS
when that was simply not true.
184. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Porter
illegally signed the ADOT in the representative capacity as Assistant Secretary to aid, assist, or
help accomplish the grand scheme to defraud the Plaintiff out of her home.
185. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Porters
signature on the ADOT for Defendant MERS makes him the individual responsible for engaging
in the act of executing the ADOT to illegally produce evidence of an assignment of the Plaintiffs

Porter did in fact possess the authority to execute a ADOT on behalf of MERS.
188. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Hernandezs
signature and seal lending authenticity to Defendant Porters signature on the ADOT for
Defendant MERS makes her legally liable to the Plaintiff for engaging in the act of verifying the

Note and DOT that appeared to be valid and lawful.
189. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Hernandez
falsely verified Defendant Porters signature.
190. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Hernandez
falsely verified the ADOT in that Defendant Porter never provided her any proof that he had the
authority to execute the ADOT selling the Plaintiffs Note and DOT on behalf of MERS and to
DEUTSCHE.
191. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that the ADOT falsely states
that it conveys the right, title and interest to the Plaintiffs Note and DOT in that the document is
void, and any claimed conveyance is an absolute nullity, ab inito.
192. On April 1, 2009, the void ADOT was recorded in the Inyo County Recorders
Office as DOC # 2009-0000767-00. Id.

to the Plaintiffs Promissory Note and Deed of Trust.

was being represented as, prior to sale:
Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or

identified NOTS # 2 as an attempt to collect a debt, NOTS #2 failed to contain the name of the
creditor in square violation of FDCPA 809.

will sell the Plaintiffs home on January 6, 2010. Id.
224. This misrepresentation was relied upon and intended to be relied upon by the
Plaintiff, the Inyo County Recorders Office and others, and all three did so to the detriment of the

herein [is] the beneficiary is that Defendant DEUTSCHE got paid as the servicer of this
purported loan, obtained the right, title and interest to the Plaintiffs Note and DOT for the amount
of whatever VALUE it delivered to Defendant MERS. It did not have to buy the property and it
listed itself as the beneficiary on TDUS # 2 so it did not have to pay one cent in documentary
transfer taxes. Exhibit 14.

Action as DOES 1-10, inclusive in Defendant Group One, and reserves the right to amend this
Complaint to later add those names when ascertained.

250. Defendant Group One enjoyed substantial discretionary power affecting the rights
of the Plaintiff during the events alleged in this Complaint and Defendant Group One, and each of
them, were required to exercise such power in good faith.
251. The Note and DOT executed between the Plaintiff and Defendant Group One are
contractual agreements between the Plaintiff and Defendant Group One. The Note the Plaintiff
executed alleging a $304,500 loan plus interest from Defendant Group One was a simple contract,
which required an offer, acceptance and consideration in the form of said loan to be issued by
Defendant Group One, the stated "lender". However, no consideration was ever paid by
Defendant Group One, as evidenced by their own accounting records compiled pursuant to the
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which will be requested during discovery.
252. Defendant Group One enjoyed substantial discretionary power affecting the rights
of the Plaintiff during the events alleged in this Complaint and Defendant Group One, and each of
them, are required to exercise such power in good faith.
253. As a result of oral and express agreements between Plaintiff and Defendant Group
One with respect to the Promissory Note, Deed of Trust, and the other benefits Defendant Group
One received from the contractual arrangement with the Plaintiff, as set forth above, and the
because of the relationship which existed between the Plaintiff and Defendant Group One, the
express and implied promises made in connection therewith, and the acts, conduct and
communications which resulted in said express and implied, promises, Defendants covenanted
and promised to act in good faith toward and to deal fairly with The Plaintiff and concerning all
matters related to her Promissory Note and Deed of Trust, so as not to deprive Plaintiff of or
injure her right to receive the benefits of said relationship.

(d) Requiring the Plaintiff to pay back this purported loan with interest, and to put
her house up as collateral, despite the fact that Defendant Group One risked
absolutely nothing of its own in exchange for these considerations from the
Plaintiff;
(e) Intentionally deceiving and misleading the Plaintiff as to the true nature of the
language, terms, duties and responsibilities established in the Note and DOT;
(f) Assessing improper or excessive late fees;
(g) Misapplying or failing to apply the Plaintiffs payments;

regarding the status of their accounts, payments owed, and/or basis for fees
assessed;
(i) Seeking to collect, and collecting, various improper fees, costs and charges, that

(u) Placing the Plaintiff into a loan whereby it was likely the borrower would default

which was contrary to the Plaintiffs stated intentions, contrary to her interests,
and contrary to the preservation of her home,
constituted a unilateral breach of previous express and oral agreements upon which Plaintiff had
relied in entering into said relationship. Such conduct, and acts on behalf of Defendant Group
One, was wrongful, in bad faith, and unfair, and therefore a violation of each Defendant's legal
duties.
255. As a result of Defendant Group Ones breach of the implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing, the Plaintiff has suffered injury and the threat of losing her property. The
Plaintiff has incurred and continues to incur legal fees, including attorney fees and costs, as well
as expenses to right Defendants wrongdoing.
256. As a further direct and proximate result of the aforementioned wrongful conduct
of Defendants, the Plaintiff has suffered anxiety, worry, mental, physical and emotional distress,
and other incidental and consequential damages and expenses in an amount which will be proven
at the time of trial.
257. Defendant Group Ones actions in this matter have been willful, knowing,
malicious, fraudulent and oppressive, entitling Plaintiff to punitive damages in an amount
appropriate to punish Defendant Group One and to deter others from engaging in the same
behavior.

WRONGFUL FORECLOSURE
(California Civil Code 2924 et seq.)
AGAINST DEFENDANTS NDEx, SERVICELINK,
DEUTSCHE, ASC,WFB, NEELY, BROWN, and DOES 1-10
[Defendant Group Two]
258. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference paragraphs 1-59 and 67-247
above, as though fully set forth herein.
A. GENERAL VIOLATION OF THE CODE
259. California Civil Code 2924 through 2924(k) provides a comprehensive
framework for the regulation of a non-judicial foreclosure sale pursuant to a power of sale
contained in a deed of trust. This comprehensive statutory scheme has three purposes: (1) to
provide the creditor/beneficiary with a quick, inexpensive and efficient remedy against a defaulting
debtor/trustor; (2) to protect the debtor/trustor from wrongful loss of the property; and (3) to ensure
that a properly conducted sale is final between the parties and conclusive as to a bona fide
purchaser. (Emphasis added). Melendrez v. D&I Investment, Inc., 127 Cal.App.4
th
1238, 1249-
1250 [26 Cal.Rptr. 3d 413] (2005).
260. Those California sections governing non-judicial sale shall be strictly construed.
Failure to follow the statutes means a foreclosure sale must be overturned. Read together, these
sections are clearly meant to protect borrower/consumer rights by introducing certain transparency
requirements. In other words, compliance with these sections assures that the real party in interest
(who really suffers an injury from borrowers failure to pay) is known to the borrower.
261. The non-judicial foreclosure in this case fails all three prongs.
262. Defendant DEUTSCHE purportedly purchased, for value, the right, title and
interest to the Plaintiffs Note and DOT from Defendant MERS, an entity used as a tax-evasion

shell to guard the multiple transfers of the Plaintiffs Note and DOT behind the scenes so to
speak, who admittedly holds no beneficial interest in either the Note or the DOT, and has never
paid a cent in California State taxes.
263. Defendant MERS, an entity who admittedly holds no beneficial interest in the
Deeds of Trust it records in its system, nor the Promissory Notes the Deeds purportedly secure,
claimed to transfer enough beneficial interest in the DOT and Note for Defendant DEUTSCHE to
presume it could exercise the power of sale clause in the DOT.
264. As such, Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant
MERS never possessed the requisite right, title and interest to the Plaintiffs Note and DOT to be
able to pass the requisite right, title and interest to the Note and DOT to Defendant DEUTSCHE
requisite meaning enough to exercise the power of sale clause contained within the DOT.
265. Additionally, under California State Law, specifically, California Revenue and
Taxation Code 23304.1, contracts entered into by a foreign corporation which constitute doing
business must be declared void upon any court action to obtain such a ruling, if that foreign
corporation has not paid the taxes applicable for its actions of doing business in the State of
California, as evidenced by the contract being requested to be declared void in this case, the
ADOT.
266. As a necessary consequence of this, the Trustees Sale fails to meet the first prong
because the Trustees Sale was not initiated by the true creditor/beneficiary. Rather, it was
initiated by Defendant DEUTSCHE.
267. There were a multitude of technical and other violations of 2924 which are
described with specificity in paragraphs 268-291 below. Thus, the foreclosure sale at issue could
not be conducted properly under the current statutory regime and the terms of the Note and DOT

contracts. Thus, such foreclosure was illegal, results in the Plaintiffs wrongful loss of property,
ensuring the sale fails the second and third prongs as well.
A. SPECIFIC VIOLATIONS OF THE CODE
Violation of 2924(b) and (c) The Notice Of Default
268. In California, the statutory requirements for non-judicial foreclosure must be
strictly complied with, and a trustees sale based on a statutorily deficient notice of default is
invalid. (Miller v. Cote, (1982) 127 Cal.App.3d 888, 894 [179 Cal.Rptr. 753], relying on System
Inv. Corp. v. Union Bank, supra, 21 Cal.App.3d at pp. 152-153; see also Sweatt v. Foreclosure Co.
(1985) 166 Cal.App.3d 273, 278 [212 Cal.Rptr. 350].).
269. Section 2924 requires that the notice of default must contain the ground of default
and section 2924c specifies the means for curing a default so noticed. Consistent with the notice
required by section 2924, section 2924c, subdivision (a)(1) provides the means of cure
"[whenever] . . . the principal sum of any obligation secured by deed of trust" has been declared
due "[a] by reason of default in payment of interest or of any installment of principal, or [b] by
reason of failure . . . to pay . . . taxes, assessments, [or] premiums for insurance . . . ." The trustor
may cure the default by timely payment of "the entire amount then due" plus costs and expenses
incurred in enforcing the obligation except that, with respect to principal owed, the trustor need not
pay "the portion of principal as would not then be due had no default occurred . . . ." The
consequence of such a cure is that "all [foreclosure] proceedings theretofore had or instituted shall
be dismissed or discontinued and the obligation and deed of trust . . . shall be reinstated . . . ." (
2924c, subd. (a)(1); also see Tomczak, supra, 240 Cal.App.2d at pp. 903-904.)
270. The obligation of the beneficiary to provide the trustor with an accurate accounting
of the amounts due to cure a default is governed by statute. Section 2924 specifies that a copy of

the notice of default must be sent to the trustor together with "the statement specified in paragraph
(1) of subdivision (b) of Section 2924c" that the trustor may have "the legal right to bring your
account in good standing by paying all of your past due payments plus permitted costs and
expenses within the time permitted by law" and informs him that: "This amount is as of (date) .
. . ." ( 2924c, subd. (b)(1); ante, fn. 3.)
271. Thus, in California, a Trustees Sale which is based upon a Notice of Default which
contains the conditional language of if any, is a Trustees Sale which stands in violation of
2924.
272. As shown above at paragraphs 129-162, the falsely stated agent for the first falsely
stated beneficiary, Defendant ASC, declared in writing on the NOD itself that, payment has not
been made . . . TOGETHER WITH LATE CHARGES . . . ADVANCES, ASSESSMENTS,
FEES, AND/OR TRUSTEE FEES, IF ANY. Exhibit 5 at 2.
273. Thus, the Trustees Sale conducted by Defendant NDEx on February 10, 2010, was
predicated upon a Notice of Default which contains the conditional language of if any.
274. Referring to Cal. Civ. Code 2923.5(b) which sets forth the requirements a
foreclosing beneficiary must comply with, Defendant Brown, stated to be employed by Defendant
ASC, produced a NOTICE OF DEFAULT DECLARATION claiming that the mortgagee or
beneficiary or their authorized agent has complied with California Civil Code 2923.5(b),
specifically stating in writing that the mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent has contacted
the borrower to discus 2923.5(b). Exhibit 5 at 3.
275. The declaration does not contain the statement that it was made under penalty of
perjury as required for the Declaration to be legal under California Law.

276. Additionally, as shown by the attached declaration by the Plaintiff, the declaration
by China Brown is false.
277. The mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent of such did not contact the Plaintiff
as required by California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b).
278. As a result of Defendants gross violations of 2924(b) and (c) which render the
subsequent Trustees Sale wrongful, Plaintiff has been required to retain legal counsel to
prosecute this action, and have incurred and will incur attorneys fees and costs in an amount to be
proven at trial.
279. Pursuant to the controlling contractual documents(s) of the Note and DOT and/or
California State Law, Federal Law, and the Plaintiffs fundamental contractual rights, Plaintiff is
entitled to recover her costs and reasonable attorneys fees as well as expenses to right Defendant
Group Ones wrongdoing.
b. Violations of 2934a - The Substitution of Trustee
280. Regarding the substitution of trustee on a deed of trust, California Civil Code
2934a provides in part that:
The trustee . . . may be substituted by the recording in the county in
which the property is located of a substitution executed and
acknowledged by: (A) all of the beneficiaries under the trust deed, or her
successors in interest, . . . . or (B) the holders of more than 50 percent of
the record beneficial interest of a series of notes secured by the same real
property . . . .(emphasis added).
281. Additionally, the language of the DOT regarding the substitution of Trustee states,
only the lender shall substitution the trustee. Exhibit 3 at 12, 23.
282. The Official Records of the Inyo County Recorders Office reveal the following:

a. On November 30, 2006, the DOT was recorded naming CHICAGO
TITLE COMPANY as the Trustee. See Exhibit 3. That notarization
of the Plaintiffs signature was stated to have occurred on November
10, 2006. The DOT is bears the date of October 26, 2006. Exhibit 3 at
1.
b. On March 16, 2010, a Substitution of Trustee was executed by
Defendant DEUTSCHE, through Defendant WFB, through its agent,
Defendant Neely. The SOT substituted out the original Trustee on the
DOT, CHICAGO TITLE COMPANY, and substituted in Defendant
NDEx. See Exhibit 5.
c. That same day, March 16, 2010, that SOT was recorded in the ICRO.
d. Three days after the substitution of Trustee by Defendant
DEUTSCHE, on October 26, 2009, Defendant SERVICELINK
requested the illegal SOT be filed in the Inyo County Recorders
Office, and it was recorded with under Document Number 2009-
0000818-00. Exhibit 5. In that assignment, Defendant MERS, FOR
VALUE RECEIVED purported to sell the right, title and interest to
the Plaintiffs Note and DOT to Defendant DEUTSCHE.
283. Thus, according to the ICRO and the DOT, on March 16, 2009, when the SOT was
executed and acknowledged by Defendant Neely, as agent for WFB, (who in turn was agent for
DEUTSCHE), only Defendant DECISION ONE, its successor(s) and/or assign(s) were entitled to
execute the SOT, cause that execution to be acknowledged, or record or mail that SOT.

284. At the time the SOT was executed and acknowledged by a notary public, Defendant
DEUTSCHE could not legally be considered all of the beneficiaries of the DOT, and could not
be legally considered the DOT beneficiarys successor or assign.
285. At the time the SOT was executed and acknowledged by a notary public, Defendant
DEUTSCHE was not the holder of more than 50% of the record beneficial interest of the Note
secured by the same real property.
286. In short, at the time Defendant DEUTSCHE caused the SOT to be executed and
acknowledged through its stated agent Defendant WFB and notary public Geraldine Johnson,
neither Defendant DEUTSCHE nor Defendant WFB were beneficiaries under the DOT, the
successor(s) or assign(s) of such, or holders of more than 50 percent of the record beneficial
interest of a series of notes secured by the same real property, as required by California Civil Code
2934a.
287. Based upon the dates and other information regarding the entities listed on the face
of the SOT, Defendant SERVICELINK knew or should have known that the SOT stood in
violation of 2924a and the contractual language of the DOT.
288. As a result of Defendant Group Twos illegal conduct as set forth above, the
Plaintiff has suffered injury and the threat of losing her property. The Plaintiff has incurred and
continues to incur legal fees, including attorney fees and costs, as well as expenses to right
Defendant Group Twos wrongdoing.
289. As a result of the Defendant Group Twos actions claimed in this cause of action,
the Plaintiff has been damaged at least in the amount of her Note and home, totaling
$1,005,039.12.

THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
TO SET ASIDE UNLWAFUL TRANSFER
(AGAINST DEFENDANTS MERS, DEUTSCHE,
ASC, SERVICELINK, NDEx, Porter, Hernandez, and DOES 1-10)
[Defendant Group Three]
292. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference paragraphs 1-66, 67-102, and 129-
29, as though fully set forth herein.
293. According to the ICRO, there are three separate documents which list a
beneficiary on the Plaintiffs Note and DOT. First, the DOT itself, which states that DECISION
ONE is the Lender and that Defendant MERS is the beneficiary under the DOT.
294. Second is the ADOT which states that MERS transferred all right, title and interest
to the Plaintiffs Note and DOT to Defendant DEUTSCHE.
295. Third is TDUS # 2, which lists Defendant DEUTSCHE as the foreclosing
beneficiary and as the grantee of the Trustees Deed Upon Sale.
296. Supporting this fact is the statement on the face of TDUS # 2 which states that the
Documentary Transfer Tax applicable to TDUS # 2 was 0. Exhibit 14 at 1.

297. Thus, the ADOT represents a transfer of the right, title and interest to the
Plaintiffs Note and DOT sufficient for Defendant DEUTSCHE to be considered the foreclosing
beneficiary on the Plaintiffs Note and DOT.
298. Under California Law, the exchange from MERS to DEUTSCHE exchange was
supposed to be taxed and, as all other exchanges are. If Defendant MERS had been the
foreclosing beneficiary and Defendant DEUTSCHE had been the highest bidder at the Trustees
Sale, Defendant DEUTSCHE would have had to pay the applicable documentary transfer tax. By
virtue of the ADOT, Defendant DEUTSCHE was able to claim that it was the foreclosing
beneficiary as well as the grantee, therefore the applicable documentary transfer tax was ZERO.
Necessarily then, the taxable exchange took place prior to TDUS # 2 specifically, at the point of
the ADOT.
299. California Corporations Code 191 states, (a) For the purposes of Chapter 21
(commencing with Section 2100), transact intrastate business means entering into repeated and
successive transactions of its business in this state, other than interstate or foreign commerce.
300. Through various secretaries, assistant vice presidents and other titles, Defendant
MERS has executed millions of assignments of the right, title and interest to California State
homeowners Notes and Deeds of Trust, including the Plaintiffs. As such, the ADOT represents
Defendant MERS transacting intrastate business such that California State taxes were due.
301. The ADOT executed by on behalf of Defendant MERS is void under Cal. Tax &
Rev. Code 23304.5, 23305A, because Defendant MERS has not paid the requisite taxes for its
actions of doing business in the State of California, as represented by the ADOT.
302. However, the ADOT purporting to transfer all beneficial interest in the DOT is
VOID because defendant MERS allegedly received VALUE from DEUTSCHE for all the

beneficial interest MERS had under the DOT and the note or notes (i.e., doing business), and
MERS did not pay the requisite taxes for such actions of doing business.
303. Because the ADOT is void, any and all documents in the Inyo County Recorders
Office which came after the ADOT and reference the Plaintiffs DOT, including but not limited to
NOTS # 2, TDUS # 2 and the entire Unlawful Detainer action are all VOID.
304. As a result of Defendant Group Threes conduct amounting to an Unlawful
Transfer of the right, title and interest to the Plaintiffs Note and DOT as set forth above, the
Plaintiff has suffered injury and the threat of losing her property.
305. The Plaintiff has incurred and continues to incur legal fees, including attorney
fees and costs, as well as expenses to right Defendant Group Threes wrongdoing.
306. As a result of the Defendant Group Threes actions claimed in this cause of
action, the Plaintiff has been damaged at least in the amount of her Note and home, totaling
$1,005,039.12.

of Defendant Group Three, the Plaintiff has suffered anxiety, worry, mental, physical and

309. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference paragraphs 1-66, 67-98, 103-247
above, as though fully set forth herein.
310. The Note and DOT documents constitute contracts formed by and between the
Plaintiff and DECISION ONE.
311. The Note and DOT contracts themselves have set contractual language that defines
the rights, obligations and authority of both the Plaintiff and DECISION ONE.
312. 6(c) of the Note allows only the Note Holder to declare the Plaintiff in
default. Likewise, 23 of the DOT allows only the Lender to substitute the Trustee on the
DOT. While California State Law may allow for other entities and parties to substitute the
Trustee, the contractual language of the Note and DOT allow only specific parties: the Note
Holder and the Lender. Any other entity or party taking the actions described as being within
the sole purview of the Note Holder and/or the Lender must necessarily constitute tortuous
interference with the Note and/or DOT contracts.
313. Defendant EMC and MERS actions as described above regarding the execution,
recording and mailing of the NOD and the ADOT, constitute tortuous interference of the
contractual language of the October 26, 2006, DOT and the Note between the Plaintiff and
Defendant DECISION ONE, specifically 22 and 24 of the DOT.
314. Defendant DEUTSCHEs actions as described above regarding the ADOT, SOT,
both NOTSs, both TDUSs, and the Unlawful Detainer action, and constitute tortuous interference

considered sufficient to be described as tortuous interference with a contract, as Plaintiff has
suffered a multitude of mental, emotional, psychological injuries and injuries to a multitude of her
rights, including but not limited to her right to the use and enjoyment of her property without the
unconscionable threat of losing her property.
324. The Plaintiff has incurred and continues to incur legal fees, including attorney fees

Act, (FDCPA)
330. Neither the actual beneficiary nor the actual creditor are explicitly listed on the
NOD.
331. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that the NODs failure to
contain the name of the actual creditor stands in violation of FDCPA 809.
332. Regarding information required pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices
Act, the NOD stated:
. . . unless the obligation being foreclosed upon or a separate
written agreement between you and your creditor permits a
longer period, you have only the legal right to stop the sale of
your property by paying the entire amount demanded by your
creditor.

NDEx nor Defendant ASC were the actual creditor at the time the NOD was executed, nor at
the time the NOD was recorded in the Inyo County Recorders Office.
336. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that because neither
Defendant NDEx nor Defendant ASC nor any other named defendants were the creditor at the
time the NOD was executed or at the time it was recorded in the Inyo County Recorders Office,
the demand for payment in the NOD was a illegal attempt to wrongfully obtain money from the
Plaintiff, made with the threat of taking away her home backing that extortion attempt up.
337. The NOD listed the amount of $10,208.99 as the amount requested, and Plaintiff is
informed and believes and thereon alleges that none of the defendants alleged responsible for this
cause of action had any authority or right to request any sum from the Plaintiff, especially the
completely arbitrary and fictional amount of $10,208.99.
338. The Plaintiff therefore is informed and believes and thereon alleges that the listing
of $10,208.99 in the NOD violated 806-809, 812, and 813 of the FDCPA
339. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that the incurable clause of
if any, included in the NOD in a self-stated attempt to collect a debt violates 806-809, 812
and 813 of the FDCPA.
340. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant NDEXs
actions of recording the NOD in the Inyo County Recorders Office official records violated
806, 807, 808, 809, 812, and 813 of the FDCPA

Defendant NDEX caused the NOD to be illegally filed in the Inyo County Recorders Office to

illegally create the presumption that the debt alleged to be owed by The Plaintiff in the NOD
was validated in violation 809 of the FDCPA.
342. The present beneficiary is not explicitly named in the NOD, but the name
AMERICAS SERVICING COMPANY is listed as the entity to contact in the section the
beneficiary is supposed to be listed in under California Civil Code 2924(c). Exhibit 5 at 2.
343. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that this misrepresentation
violated FDCPA 806, 807, 808, 809, 812, and 813.
344. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that any statements claiming
Plaintiff ever executed any documents securing any obligations in favor of ASC are false.
345. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that the filing of the NOD
was and is illegal under FDCPA 806, 807, 808, 809, 812, and 813.
346. On numerous occasions, in connection with the collection of an alleged debt,
when the Plaintiff notified Defendants in writing within the (30) day period described in
809(a) of the FDCP A, 15 U.S.C. 1692g(a), that the debt, or any portion thereof, was
disputed, Defendants have continued to attempt to collect the debt before verification of the
debt was provided to the consumer, in violation of Section 809(b) of the FDCP A, 15 U.S.C.
1692g(b). See Exhibits 10 and 16.
347. NOTS # 2 stated:
YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED
10/26/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR
PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT PUBLIC AUCTION. IF YOU
NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE
PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A

OF TRUST, DATED 10/26/2006 is a misleading statement in violation of FDCPA 806-809,
812, and 813.
349. Additionally, the DOT authorized only the Lender to substitute the trustee, and
there is no definition of duly appointed given, however, Plaintiff is informed and believes and
thereon alleges that Defendant NDEX was not duly appointed under any legal and applicable
definition of the term, because it was substituted in by Defendant DEUTSCHE, as shown above.
350. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant NDEx had no
authority from the actual creditor to even execute NOTS # 2 and attempt to collect a debt
from the Plaintiff, thus, executing, mailing and recording NOTS # 2 violated FDCPA 806-809,
812, and 813.
351. NOTS # 2 also contained the following clear and conspicuous statement:
NDEx West, LLC is a debt collector attempting to collect a debt. Any
information obtained will be used for that purpose.
352. Although Defendant NDEx clearly identified itself as a debt collector and
identified NOTS # 2 as an attempt to collect a debt, NOTS # 2 failed to contain the name of the
creditor in square violation of FDCPA 809.
353. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Group
Four engaged in acts resulting in violations of FDCPA 806-809, 812, and 813.
354. As a result of Defendants numerous, gross, malicious and intentional violations of
the FDCPA as set forth above, the Plaintiff has suffered injury and the threat of losing her
property.

VIOLATION OF CALIFORNIA BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE 17500
(AGAINST DEFENDANT GROUP FOUR)
377. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates herein by reference all paragraphs above as if
fully reproduced herein.

statement or a publication or declaration concerning any circumstances or matter of fact connected
with the proposed performance or disposition of real or personal property, which pronouncement is
untrue or misleading, and which if known, or which by the exercise of reasonable care should be
known, to be untrue or misleading.
379. The facts are undisputed that Defendant DEUTSCHE, ASC, SERVICELINK,
NDEx, Middleton, and DOES 1-10 did published the NOD, two separate NOTSs and two separate
TDUSs regarding the alleged default of the Plaintiff, and Defendant Group Fours actions in
providing notice to the public that the Property subject to the Deed of Trust would be sold at public
auction to satisfy the secured obligation regarding the Property. Subsequent to that, Defendant
Group Four actually held a Trustees Sale for the Plaintiffs home.
380. The Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Group
Four deceived the public in the NOD, the SOT, both NOTS and both TDUSs claim the
Defendants were the beneficiary, creditor, and/or Note Holder, and or had the power to sell the
Property when lacking such ownership and power as alleged throughout the complaint in all
preceding paragraphs above.

statements connected with it, in connection with the sale of personal property which were untrue or
misleading and means the Defendants had knew, or which by the exercise of reasonable care
should have known, to be untrue or misleading by said Defendants, each and every one of them.
382. The Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Group
Four intended the general public to rely on their misstatements and have the Plaintiffs Property be
sold at Auction. The Plaintiff reasonably relied on these misrepresentations, by now filing suit and
requesting a TRO and preliminary injunction.
383. The Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant Group
Fours alleged business practice(s) stated within this cause of action based on Cal. Civ. Code
17500 are immoral, unethical, oppressive, unscrupulous or substantially injurious to the Plaintiff,
and requires the Court to weigh the utility of the defendant's conduct against the gravity of the
harm to Plaintiff.
384. Plaintiffs request for relief is the return of all funds received by each and every
Defendant from the Plaintiff as a request for restitution relief as allowed under 17203.
385. The UCL authorizes injunctive relief to prevent unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent
business acts or practices, and both restitution and disgorgement of money or property wrongfully
obtained by means of such unfair competition, (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 17203).
386. Plaintiff requests that this Court have the Preliminary Injunction become permanent
to prevent the re-occurring of the violation of the UCL against the non-judicial foreclosure pending
against the Plaintiff by Defendant Group Four.
387. The Plaintiff has incurred and continues to incur legal fees, including attorney fees
and costs, as well as expenses to right the Defendants wrongdoing.

the Defendants, the Plaintiff has suffered anxiety, worry, mental, physical and emotional distress,
and other incidental and consequential damages and expenses in an amount which will be proven

WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff prays for judgment against the Defendants and each of them,
jointly and severally, as follows:
A. For an order from this court that the Assignment of Deed of Trust from Defendant MERS
