The Lake Worth Democratic club is urging everyone to vote NO on Florida House Bill 87. Here is what they say:
We urge you to vote NO on House Bill 87. The problem with Florida foreclosures is NOT the judicial process. The problem is unethical behavior and criminal fraud by mortgage servicers, certain law firms including David Stern and Marshall Watson, and banks.
Our single most urgent problem is the abandonment by banks of thousands of homes across Florida. These abandoned homes destroy neighborhoods, driving home prices further down, and create havens for rodents and mold. We need legislation that holds banks and Fannie Mae accountable for maintaining the thousands of properties they now own.
We do not need faster foreclosures – we need to hold the banks and mortgage servicers accountable.
The Petition
Robert Waples, our ROLOH neighborhood president, has been very successful in contacting the banks on foreclosed/abandoned homes in our neighborhood. The banks have been very cooperative,and have cleaned up and maintained these few homes that were eye-sores .
ReplyDeleteLove the petition and holding the banks accountable! Most get 3x the value of the house if the loan is paid as set up. It is the banks contract and if they take the house back they should take care of the house!
ReplyDeleteNow about these words...
"...violates Article 1,
Sections 9 and 10 of Florida’s Constitution, which do not
permit the passage of any law...
which deprives any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law and..."
"...prohibits the passing of any law that impairs the obligations of contracts"
??????????????????
City b4 Mortgage 'CONTRACT'...
Lake Worth just passed laws that can foreclose on your homesteaded property for 10 in of grass. The city can then declare itself the winner of the property for their land banking schemes where they gotta get title, create a list, then give property away for free to the CRA/others for MORE Affordable housing, (CRA was allowed to declare our cities tax base, downtown, blighted so they can take the increase in tax funds or TIF) all this while simultaneously pushing their purses to the top of the list to be paid first, BEFORE the MORTGAGE or LIENS being equal only to other government entities!

Look at the wording from Item 10Aa
Lake Worth Regular Meeting 1.8.13
Pg 166 in part:

107 will institute nuisance abatement proceedings against your
108 property and cause such nuisance to be abated. The cost of such
109 abatement will constitute a special assessment lien against the

111 assessment lien shall be coequal with the lien of all state, county,
112 district, and municipal taxes and superior in dignity to mortgages
113 and all other liens, irrespective of the date of the recording of the
114 municipal lien or the date of the recording of any mortgage or any
