XVII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 17, Cross-Defendant was informed and

believes that he and Norman Allen believed that the Improvements were subsequently located on the

14 acres rather than the 40 acres. Except as heretofore admitted, Cross-Defendant denies each and

every remaining allegation, generally and specifically, in the conjunctive and disjunctive.

XVIII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 18, Cross-Defendant is informed and
 believes, that at all times relevant, he and Norman Allen intended the Improvements to be part of the
 14 acres. Except as heretofore admitted, cross-defendant denies each and every remaining
 allegation, generally and specifically, in the conjunctive and disjunctive.
 XIX.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 19, cross-defendant Bennett is informed and

 disjunctive.

XXIV.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 24, of the Cross-Complaint, Cross-



Defendant incorporates herein the answers to Paragraphs I, through XXIV, of Cross-Complainants¶

purported Cause of Action the same as though fully set out herein at length.

XXV.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 25, cross-defendant Bennett is informed and

believes that the information contained therein is correct.

 has no information or belief sufficient at this time to allow him to answer and so denies each and
 every allegation contained in said Paragraph 26.
 XXVII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 27, cross-defendant Bennett alleges
 that he has no information or belief sufficient at this time to allow him to answer and so denies each

 and every allegation contained in said Paragraph 27.


XXVIII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 28, cross-defendant Bennett alleges

that Option One Mortgage Inc., and Summit Financial Group Inc., induced the transaction that is

central to this controversy against Bennett¶s will. In so doing said parties and their agents are guilty of

³inexcusable negligence´. Option One Mortgage Inc. thus created a relationship of ³detrimental

reliance´ by their actions and Wells Fargo stands in the shoes of Wells Fargo. Except as heretofore
 admitted, cross-defendant denies each and every remaining allegation, generally and specifically, in
 the conjunctive and disjunctive.

THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION

 (For reformation Against Allen, Bennett, and St. John)

Cause of Action the same as though fully set out herein at length.

 XXXI.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 31, Cross-Defendant Bennett is informed and
 believes that the information contained therein is correct.

c

XXXII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 32, Cross-Defendant is informed and



believes, that he at no time entered into contractual agreement with Wells Fargo Bank nor caused the

existence any alleged ³WFB Deed of Trust´ if such instrument exists. Where is the contract and note

that binds Bennett in privity and establishing his ³intended benefits´ or ³respective bargains´ for

reformation? Except as heretofore admitted, Cross-Defendant denies each and every allegation,
 generally and specifically, in the conjunctive and disjunctive.
 XXXIII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 33, Cross-Defendant was informed and
 believes, that he did not then nor does he now benefit from the sale by paying off the previously
 Existing Mortgage with the sale proceeds as alleged and that the inverse is true. As to the allegation
 set forth by Wells Fargo and BAC that ³Bennett [k]new the only way to receive enough money to pay

 off the Existing Mortgage was to convey the Improvements along with the 14 acres´, answering this
allegation cross-defendant denies each and every allegation, generally and specifically, in the

conjunctive and disjunctive. As to the benefit or lack thereof to St. John as alleged, cross-defendant

Bennett alleges that he has no information or belief sufficient at this time to allow him to answer and

so denies each and every remaining allegation contained in said Paragraph 33, generally and

specifically, in the conjunctive and disjunctive.
 XXXIV.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 34, reasserts the above stated claims of
 negligence, misrepresentation, and detrimental reliance at the minimum against Option One Mortgage
 and Summit and again asserting that if said Cross-Complainants¶ positions as alleged by each, are
 true, Wells Fargo and BAC stand in the shoes of the parties named above to who they answer as

 agents. Answering the same allegations herein Bennett further asserts that he in no manner has now

 nor ever had any relationship of privity with Cross-Complainants of this action. At no time did he have
privity in contract, real or proposed, written or verbal, with Option One Mortgage or Wilshire. Wells

Fargo and BAC attempt herein to rewrite the rules of equity in forcing reformation upon a third party

under the claim of ³mutual mistake´ asserting ³respective bargains´ where none existed between

themselves and Bennett. Further answering the allegations of Paragraph 34, he asserts that he has

no true knowledge if Wells Fargo is the Beneficiary of the resultant Promissory Note and Deed of
 Trust as claimed. If so then by investing even a cursory amount of due diligence as operators of a
 mortgage business, Wells Fargo would have discovered that the legal description is included in the
 mortgage and likely reveals the true nature of the parcel to mortgage lenders. Except as heretofore

c cc c

Answer to Verified Cross-Complaint


c

admitted, cross-defendant denies each and every remaining allegation, generally and specifically, in

the conjunctive and disjunctive.

XXXV.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 35, Bennett reasserts the above stated

claims of negligence, misrepresentation, and detrimental reliance at the minimum against Option One

Mortgage and Wilshire. Additionally in answering these allegations, Bennett alleges that substantially
 precedent to the entry of Wells and BAC as cross-complainants Wells Fargo as Beneficiary filed a
 claim(s) with Chicago Title Insurance Company Inc., for recovery under the A.L.T.A. title insurance
 policy purchased by Bennett for the protection of all parties to the sales transaction. Wells Fargo now
 claiming inequitable enrichment against Bennett and others in its Cross-Action, makes no mention of
 the insured position it enjoys at Bennett¶s expense. To the best of Bennett¶s knowledge, until named

 as defendants by Allen, Wells Fargo and Wilshire (BAC) asserted that they held no direct economic
interest in these proceedings and as such were released or unnamed as Defendants. Except as

heretofore admitted, Cross-Defendant denies each and every remaining allegation, generally and

specifically, in the conjunctive and disjunctive.

 FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION

(For Equitable Subrogation Against Bennett and St. John)

 XXXVI.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 36, of the Cross-Complaint, Cross-
 Defendant incorporates herein the answers to Paragraphs I, through XXXV, of Cross-Complainants¶
 purported Cause of Action the same as though fully set out herein at length.

 XXXVII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 37, of the cross-complaint, cross-


defendant alleges that Wells Fargo seeks subrogation in direct contradiction of the elements of the

doctrine of equity. If this is accomplished it would pave the road to compounded profits through

predatory lending practices. Notwithstanding the law forbidding subrogation when no agreement of the

parties is express or implied in debt equity, Wells Fargo and BAC seek forced subrogation in the face

of actions by their ³predecessors´ chargeable with fraud, culpable & inexcusable negligence, forced
 reliance and more. Aside from the inequitable enrichment clearly available to Wells Fargo and BAC
 through the aggregate of title insurance, foreclosure of the subject property, and subrogation of the
 adjacent property, cross-defendant denies each and every remaining allegation, generally and
 specifically, in the conjunctive and disjunctive.

XXXVIII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 38, cross-defendant Bennett alleges that

he has no information or belief sufficient at this time to allow him to answer and so denies each and

every allegation contained in said Paragraph 38.

XXXIX.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 39, cross-defendant Bennett alleges that

he has no information or belief sufficient at this time to allow him to answer and so denies each and
 every allegation contained in said Paragraph 39.
 XL.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 40, cross-defendant Bennett alleges that
 he has no information or belief sufficient at this time to allow him to answer and so denies each and
 every allegation contained in said Paragraph 40.
 XLI.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 41, cross-defendant Bennett denies each

 and every allegation contained in said Paragraph 41.


FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION

 (For equitable Lien Against Allen, Bennett, and St. John)


XLII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 42, of the cross-complaint, cross-
 defendant incorporates herein the answers to Paragraphs I, through XLI, of cross-complainants¶
 purported Cause of Action the same as though fully set out herein at length.
 XLIII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 43, cross-defendant Bennett alleges that
 he has no information or belief regarding St. John¶s intentions or actions sufficient at this time to allow
 him to answer and so denies each and every allegation contained in said Paragraph 43.

 XLIV.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 44, cross-defendant Bennett is informed


and believes that others enacted the process requiring conveyance of Improvements. Additionally in

answering these allegations, he is informed and believes the conveyance that ³paid off the Existing

Mortgage´, directly and/or incidentally was caused by frauds and the intentional negligence of others.

XLV.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 45, cross-defendant Bennett alleges that

he has no information or belief sufficient at this time to allow him to answer and so denies each and
 every allegation contained in said Paragraph 45.
 XLVI.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 46, cross-defendant Bennett denies in part
 the allegation contained in said Paragraph 46, in that the payoff of the existing mortgage was
 substantially less than $437,000.00. Outrageous fees were charged for said credit including ³yield
c cc c

Answer to Verified Cross-Complaint


c

spread premiums´ and other ³garbage fees´ too extensive for this writing. The forced reliance as

stated above precipitated expenses, penalties, and other costs to Bennett in excess of $100,000.00 by

completion of the initial transaction, this from the direct actions of Summit, Option One, Dana Capitol,

and others. Further payments and costs in addition, both precedent and antecedent to that event. The

equity losses and other costs that continue to accrue for Bennett are equal to or greater than the
 $437,000.00 claimed in this cross-action. In answering the allegations of Paragraph 46, beyond that
 stated above cross-defendant Bennett alleges that he has no information or belief sufficient at this
 time to allow him to answer more fully and so denies each and every other allegation contained in said
 Paragraph 46.
 XLVII.c Cross-complainants¶ statement in Paragraph 47 is not understandable or

 inconclusive and as such, cross-defendant Bennett denies each and every allegation contained in said
Paragraph 47.

XLVIII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 48, cross-defendant Bennett alleges that

he has no information or belief sufficient at this time to allow him to answer and so denies each and

every allegation contained in said Paragraph 48.

XLIX.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 49, cross-defendant Bennett alleges that
 he has no information or belief that all parties of liability or actionable responsibility are yet unnamed in
 this multi-case complex action. Answering further allegations herein, he has no belief that a court of
 equity would uphold the claims of entitlement of lien asserted. He has no true understanding of what
 positions Wells Fargo & BAC currently hold nor despite the claims ³their intended positions´. Certainty

 these parties have already claimed numerous conflicting positions without providing any proof or

 documentation whatsoever. Each vaguely asserted position is under terminology and ³title´ with
complex multiple meanings to the mortgage industry. These ³titles´ are not discernable without case

specific contractual clarity of which they offer none; as such, cross-defendant denies each and every

remaining allegation, generally and specifically, in the conjunctive and disjunctive.

 SIXTH CAUSE OF ACTION

(Equitable Mortgage Against Bennett, St. John, and Allen)



c c c c

Answer to Verified Cross-Complaint


c

L.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 50, of the cross-complaint, cross-



defendant incorporates herein the answers to Paragraphs I, through XLIX, of cross-complainants

purported Cause of Action the same as though fully set out herein at length.

LI.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 51, cross-defendant Bennett alleges that

he has no information or belief of St. John¶s intentions now or at the time in question, sufficient at this
 time to allow him to answer and so denies each and every allegation contained in said Paragraph 51
 generally and specifically, in the conjunctive and disjunctive.
 LII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 52, cross-defendant is informed and
 believes that it that the certificate of compliance that separated the two parcels and created the
 controversy now at bar was undertaken after extensive misrepresentation by Steve Weich, Rod

 Hosilyk, Summit Financial Group and their ³buddy and underwriter´ in preparation of refinancing the
subject property. Bennett and St. John were ³prequalified´. According to Summit Financial they were to

benefit dramatically by the low mortgage interest rates available. At all times prior to January 2005

Bennett was informed and believed that NO portion of the 54 acres was to be conveyed. Weich and

Hosliyk repeatedly claimed prior to the events in question to have ³discovered´ that the 54 acre ranch

was composed of two old parcels. ³Their underwriter´ who was represented to be ³one of best in the
 business´ agreed and allegedly advised them after studying an earlier title report, that the optimum
 loan conditions would be achieved by refinancing the smaller parcel that, they asserted after their
 onsite inspections, held the Improvements. Bennett & St. John had good credit ratings with low
 income to debt ratios and anticipated refinancing the ranch. On or about October 1, 2004 St. John

 ceased sending in the monthly mortgage payments upon the ³advice of Summit and µtheir underwriter´

 that was later revealed as an employee of Option One Mortgage. In early January 2005, St. John
drained the community bank accounts (5) and removed herself from the couple¶s home; Bennett

learned the property was 90 plus days in arrears. The ³lenders´ and St. John quickly substituted Allen

as buyer to ³save the ranch´. Beyond that stated above cross-defendant, Bennett alleges that he has

no information or belief sufficient at this time to allow him to answer more fully and so denies each and

every other allegation contained in said Paragraph 52.
 LIII.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 53, cross-defendant is informed and
 believes the note executed by Allen was with Option One Mortgage Corporation. Contrary to claims by
 Summit Financial, the loan packages for Bennett, St. John, and Allen were not submitted to any lender
 other than Option One. Beyond that stated above cross-defendant, Bennett alleges that he has no

c c
c c

Answer to Verified Cross-Complaint


c

information or belief sufficient at this time to allow him to answer more fully and so denies each and

every other allegation contained in said Paragraph 53.

LIV.c Answering the allegations of Paragraph 54, cross-defendant is informed and

believes that standard procedure for conveyance of real estate often necessitates retirement of the

existing deed of trust. The ³Option One Note´ executed by Allen with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. as
 Trustee, and serviced by Wilshire was ³deposited´ into the Merrill Lynch Mortgage Instruments
 investment scheme 2005 HE-3. Option One Mortgage Corporation ³paid off´ the Existing Mortgage.
 Cross-defendant denies each and every remaining allegation, generally and specifically, in the
 conjunctive and disjunctive.
 LV.c Answering the allegations in Paragraph 54, Bennett again asserts inexcusable

 negligence on the part of Option One Mortgage and is informed and believes that little credence will
be found in the so called, ³WFB Deed of Trust´ or in Trustee Wells Fargo¶s standing in the courts as

³Beneficiary´. As such, cross-defendant denies each and every remaining allegation, generally and

specifically, in the conjunctive and disjunctive.

LVI.c Answering the allegations in Paragraph 55, cross-defendant is informed and

believes that Wells Fargo and BAC are acting as agents for the true beneficiary. Until proof of proper
 endorsement to the original Note and Deed establishes legal ownership, some parties of interest in
 equity remain unknown. Bennett believes ³WFB¶s´ & BAC¶s asserted claims of security interest as
 ³beneficiaries´ to be meritless. If cross-complainants¶ lack of standing, as alleged above and confirmed
 in the belatedly ³verified´ Answers to Complaints submitted by the same, then there is no ³Equitable

 Mortgage´ here to which they would be parties. Beyond that stated above cross-defendant, Bennett

 alleges that he has no information or belief sufficient at this time to allow him to answer more fully and
as such denies the allegations spoken to each and every remaining allegation, generally and

specifically, in the conjunctive and disjunctive.

 SEVENTH AND EIGHTH CAUSES OF ACTION

LVII.c This Answering Cross-Defendant offers no answer to the Seventh and Eighth

Causes of Action in that there are no allegations against him therein.

 Defendant.

SECOND AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

 These answering cross-defendants allege that to the extent the Cross-complainants seek equitable

 relief, Cross-complainants' inequitable conduct constitutes unclean hands and therefore bars the granting

Complainants proximately caused the damages referred to in the Cross-Complaint by Cross-Complainants,

and/or others affiliated in any manner with Cross-Complainants. In that at all times relevant herein, Cross-

Complainants, failed to exercise for their own protection the proper care and precautions which prudent

persons under the same and similar circumstances would have exercised. That if this answering Cross-
 Defendant committed any wrongful act at all (which supposition is made for the purpose of his defense
 without admitting such to be a fact), the aforesaid conduct of Cross-Complainants and/or entities or
 persons associated in any manner with the Cross-Complainants contributed to the happenings of Cross-
 Complainants¶ alleged damages.

FOURTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

(Offset)

This answering Cross-Defendant alleges that he has suffered damage by reason of Cross-Complainants¶

Answer to Verified Cross-Complaint


c

FIFTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE



 (Apportionment)

 This answering Cross-Defendant is informed and believes and thereon alleges that the matters complained
of in the Cross-Complainant were proximately caused, in whole or in part, by the acts or omissions of a

third party or parties or Cross-Complainants. Accordingly, the liability of the Cross-Complainants and

responsible parties, named or unnamed, should be apportioned according to their respective degrees of

fault or other legal responsibility, and the liability, if any, of these answering Cross-Defendant should be

reduced accordingly.

 SIXTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

 (Assumption of the Risk)


 This answering Cross-Defendant is informed and believes and thereon alleges that if there presently exists
 or ever existed, any or all of the alleged rights, claims or obligations which Cross-Complainants assert by
 way of their Cross-Complaint, said claims or obligations are unenforceable because Cross-Complainants
 assumed the risk involved in the transaction.

SEVENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

(Statute of Limitations)

 This answering Cross-Defendant is informed and believes and thereon alleges that if there presently exists

 or ever existed, any or all of the alleged rights, claims or obligations which Cross-Complainants seek by

 way of its Cross-Complaint each and every cause of action in the Cross-Complaint is barred by the
applicable sections of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

 EIGHTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

(Lack of Standing)

 Cross-Complainants lack standing: Wells Fargo Bank and BAC are not the true owners of the claim sued
 upon, are not the real parties in interest and are not shown to be authorized to bring this Cross-Action.

Answer to Verified Cross-Complaint


c

NINTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE



 (In Pari Delicto)

 This answering Cross-Defendant alleges that the Cross-Complainants herein and each and every
purported Cause of Action in the Cross-Complaint are barred because Cross-Complainants have engaged

in acts and courses of conduct which rendered them in pari delicto.

 TENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

(Equitable Estoppel)

 This answering Cross-Defendant alleges that the Cross-Complainants herein, and each and every
 Cause of Action contained in the Cross-Complaint are barred by reason of acts, omissions, representations
 and courses of conduct by Cross-Complainants by which Cross-Defendant was led to rely to their

 detriment, thereby barring, under the doctrine of equitable estoppel, any Causes of Action asserted by the

 Cross-Complainants.



 ELEVENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE


(Condition Precedent)

 This answering Cross-Defendant allege that performance by these Cross-Complainants of certain acts

 were contingent upon receipt of specific instructions or otherwise properly directed any action which
supposedly were to be undertaken by these Cross-Complainants, thus Cross-Complainants authority,

direction and cooperation was a condition precedent to any alleged-obligation-by-these Cross-

Complainants to perform such acts.

 TWELFTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

(Statute of Frauds)


c cc c

Answer to Verified Cross-Complaint


c

This answering Cross-Defendant alleges that the Cross-Complaint is barred by the provisions of Section

1624 of the Civil Code, i.e., the Statute of Frauds.

 THIRTEENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

(Failure of Consideration)

 This answering Cross-Defendant alleges that the Cross-Complainants herein and each and every
 purported Cause of Action in the Cross-Complaint are barred as a result of a failure of consideration.

FOURTEENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

 (Mutual Mistake)

 This answering Cross-Defendant is informed and believes and thereon alleges that if there presently
 exists or ever existed, any or all of the alleged rights, claims or obligations which Cross-Complainants seek

 by way of their Cross-Complaint, said claims or obligations are unenforceable by reason of mutual mistake.


FIFTEENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE

 This answering Cross-Defendant is informed and believes and thereon alleges that if there presently exists
or ever existed, any or all of the alleged rights, claims or obligations which Cross-Complainants seek by

way of their Cross-Complaint said claims or obligations are unenforceable because the written agreement

(if any) is not fully integrated.

 complaint and that cross-defendant have judgment against cross-complainants and recover costs of suit
 herein incurred, and such other relief as the court may deem proper.
