Florida judge tosses GMAC foreclosure
GMAC Mortgage got slammed by a Florida judge this month — and that may be good news for some of the 1,234 New York homeowners hit with a foreclosure action by GMAC since the beginning of 2008.
In that case, Judge Anthony Rondolino voided a GMAC foreclosure win after he found out legal papers filed by the company with the court to steamroll its way over homeowner Debbie Visicaro were faulty. They were filed by an employee of GMAC’s law firm who had no personal knowledge of the faulty mortgage’s position.
In short, they were based entirely on hearsay.
Lawyers familiar with foreclosure actions filed by law firm mills, as was done in this case, say such instances aren’t rare.
