Segment from an actual call, recorded on October 20, 2008, between a homeowner and a lawyer, Heather Johnson, of the notorious foreclosure mill, Steven J Baum, representing Litton Loan Servicing. Loan modifications were offered on a take-it-or leave it basis; however requests for follow-up documentation were ignored. Heather Johnson then signed off on a foreclosure, nearly ten months later, on behalf of the securitized pool allegedly holding the homeowner's mortgage. The "foreclosure mill" law firm, in this case, Steven J Baum, was specifically cited in a New York Times article about NY State Supreme Court Judge Arthur M Shack on August 31st, 2009, and has engendered criticism for its faulty filing practices. The firm has done extensive work for Litton Loan and its host of robo-signers, including Marti Noriega (who also does double duty for MERS). Hedge Fund Tailwind Capital has a hefty investment in this foreclosure mill. Guess they figured that throwing families out of their homes had a financial upside. Now, the Steven J Baum firm is under investigation by both the Feds and the New York State Attorney General. This call will become part of Pacific Street's upcoming feature documentary, FORECLOSURE DIARIES. Additionally, Chris Wyatt, who left Litton Loan, has now courageously spoken out as a whistle-blower; citing the problems inherent in the servicing business
RIP Stephen J Baum... One down, many more to go!
