update
Neil, there may be a day or two delay in funding your loan. I just notified your attorney that a
small revision needed to be done because A) with all that signing, a signature line for your mom
was missed AND the interest rate for the week before, although a slight difference, was picked up
in closing package and identified prior to being sent to HUD.
Richard (at OlIT expense) has agreed to go to your attorneys office to meet you there to sign the
corrections; and Mr. Stermer said that was fine with him. I am trying to confIrm with Liberty that
they will cover any cost incurred if a notary needs to go back out to Mark.
The difference in rate over the life of the loan is less than 1/8th percent. As soon as I know more I
will be in touch.
Sincerely,
Liz Baize
PAB
We at Park Avenue Bank care about your privacy and security.

Re: DISPUTE: loan 68011002615899 - Notice of Default - Intent to Foreclose
Please be advised that loan no. 68011002615899 is not in default, and I/we hereby dispute the
delinquency. The records of RMS are not accurate, there are three borrowers, and I am living in the
home. An Assignment of Mortgage provided by RMS in response to my RESPA request clearly
shows me as one of three original borrowers. A copy of the assignment accompanies this fax.
RMS did not provide a copy of the note in response to my RESPA request dated May 14, 2012
showing that the loan was legally transferred from Bank of America to RMS. This copy is needed to
show proof that RMS has a legal claim to the transferred mortgage by demonstrating a proper chain of
custody of the promissory note. The Assignment of Mortgage provided by RMS is not legally
sufficient in Florida to show a chain of custody.
Please be advised that I/we will defend any foreclosure action by RMS.
If RMS has a cash for keys program please advise. Thank you.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, April 29, 2011
Georgia Department of Banking and Finance Takes

Possession of The Park Avenue Bank, Valdosta, Georgia
Atlanta, Georgia - The Georgia Department of Banking and Finance (Department) took possession
of The Park Avenue Bank, Valdosta, Georgia on April 29, 2011. The Superior Court of Lowndes
County issued an Order appointing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as Receiver of
the Bank effective upon the Department taking possession of The Park Avenue Bank.
The Department took possession of The Park Avenue Bank pursuant to the Official Code of Georgia,
Section 7-1-150(a) which authorizes the Department in its discretion to take possession of the
business and property of any state chartered financial institution whenever such financial institution is
either insolvent or operating in an unsafe or unsound condition to transact its business, is operating in
violation of any court order, statute, rule or regulation, or requests the Department to take
possession of its business and property.
Through an agreement with the FDIC, The Park Avenue Bank will be acquired by Bank of the Ozarks,
Little Rock, Arkansas.
All deposit accounts of The Park Avenue Bank have been transferred to Bank of the Ozarks and will be
available immediately. Depositors will be able to access their accounts at the former main office and
branch locations of The Park Avenue Bank during regular business hours. Customers of both banks
should continue to use their existing branches until Bank of the Ozarks can fully integrate the deposit
records of The Park Avenue Bank. Additionally, the former depositors of The Park Avenue Bank can
continue to access their accounts through automated teller machine transactions, checks and debit
transactions.
All deposits will be transferred to Bank of the Ozarks and, therefore, it is not anticipated that there
will be any loss exposure to former The Park Avenue Bank depositors that have deposits exceeding
the FDIC Deposit Insurance amounts.
The Departments Commissioner, Robert M. Braswell, reminds depositors that deposits of all Georgia
banks are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. Special rules are in place for accounts held in trust
status and joint accounts that may further expand deposit insurance coverage. Additional information
on FDIC Deposit Insurance may be found at www.fdic.gov.
The FDIC has established a website and a toll-free phone number to answer questions from

Bank of the Ozarks, Little Rock, Arkansas, Acquires All the
Deposits of Two Georgia Banks
First Choice Community Bank, Dallas and The Park Avenue Bank, Valdosta

Bank of the Ozarks, Little Rock, Arkansas, acquired the banking operations, including
all the deposits, of two Georgia-based banks. To protect depositors, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) entered into purchase and assumption
agreements with Bank of the Ozarks.
First Choice Community Bank, Dallas, Georgia, and The Park Avenue Bank,
Valdosta, Georgia, were closed today by the Georgia Department of Banking and
Finance, which appointed the FDIC as receiver.
All 19 branches of the two closed banks will reopen during their normal business
hours beginning Saturday as branches of Bank of the Ozarks. Depositors of the two
failed banks will automatically become depositors of Bank of the Ozarks. Deposits
will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for customers to change
their banking relationship in order to retain their deposit insurance coverage up to
applicable limits. First Choice Community Bank had seven branches in Georgia; and
The Park Avenue Bank had eleven branches in Georgia and one branch in Florida.
Customers of the two failed banks should continue to use their former branches until
they receive notice from Bank of the Ozarks that it has completed systems changes
to allow other branches of Bank of the Ozarks to process their accounts as well.
Over the weekend, depositors can access their money by writing checks or using
ATM or debit cards. Checks drawn on the bank will continue to be processed. Loan
customers should continue to make their payments as usual.
As of December 31, 2010, First Choice Community Bank had total assets of $308.5
million and total deposits of $310.0 million; and The Park Avenue Bank had total
assets of $953.3 million and total deposits of $827.7 million. Besides assuming all the
deposits from the two Georgia banks, Bank of the Ozarks will purchase essentially all
of their assets.
The FDIC and Bank of the Ozarks entered into loss-share transactions on the failed
banks' assets. The loss-share transaction for First Choice Community Bank was
$260.7 million; and the loss-share transaction for The Park Avenue Bank was $514.1
million. Bank of the Ozarks will share in the losses on the asset pools covered under
the loss-share agreements. The loss-share transactions are projected to maximize
returns on the assets covered by keeping them in the private sector. The transactions
also are expected to minimize disruptions for loan customers. For more information
on loss share, please visit: http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare
/index.html.
Customers who have questions about today's transactions can call the FDIC toll free:
for First Choice Community Bank customers, 1-800-894-7035; and for The Park
Avenue Bank customers, 1-800-894-5183. The phone numbers will be operational this
evening until 9:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT); on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m. EDT; on Sunday from noon until 6:00 p.m. EDT; and thereafter from 8:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EDT.

Bank, http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/firstchoice.html; and for The Park
Avenue Bank, http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/parkavenue_ga.html.
The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) for First
Choice Community Bank will be $92.4 million; and for The Park Avenue Bank, $306.1
million. Bank of the Ozarks' acquisition of all the deposits of the two institutions was
the "least costly" option for the DIF compared to all alternatives.
The closings are the 37th and 38th FDIC-insured institutions to fail in the nation so far
this year and the ninth and tenth in Georgia. Prior to today, the last bank closed in the
state was New Horizons Bank, East Ellijay, on April 15, 2011.

Congress created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in 1933 to restore
public confidence in the nation's banking system. The FDIC insures deposits at the
nation's 7,657 banks and savings associations and it promotes the safety and
soundness of these institutions by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to
which they are exposed. The FDIC receives no federal tax dollars insured financial
institutions fund its operations.

(a)
Procedures to periodically review and revise risk exposure limits to
address changes in market conditions;

(b)
strategies to minimize credit losses;
(c)
procedures to identify, limit, and manage concentrations of credit that are

the Commissioner an acceptable written lending and credit administration program that shall, at a
minimum, address, consider, and include:

Underwriting standards that require documented analyses of any borrower's

procedures for the periodic analyses of any current borrower's and
guarantor's repayment sources, global cash flow, and overall debt service ability;

an enhanced internal loan review process that includes, but is not limited to,

(d)
the appropriate use of interest reserves;
(e)
limitations on the capitalization of interest; and

improved documentation of loan modifications.
Asset Improvement
3.
(a)
The Bank shall not, directly or indirectly, extend or renew any credit to or
for the benefit of any borrower, including any related interest of the borrower, who is obligated
to the Bank in any manner on any extension of credit or portion thereof that has been charged off
by the Bank or classified, in whole or in part, "loss" in the Report of Examination or in any
subsequent report of examination, as long as such credit remains uncollected.
(b)
The Bank shall not, directly or indirectly, extend or renew any credit to or
for the benefit of any borrower, including any related interest of the borrower, whose extension

subsequent report of examination, without the prior approval of the Bank's board of directors.
The board of directors shall document in writing the reasons for the extension of credit or
renewal, specifically certifying that: (i) the extension of credit is necessary to protect the Bank's
interest in the ultimate collection of the credit already granted or (ii) the extension of credit is in
full compliance with the Bank's written loan policy, is adequately secured, and a thorough credit
analysis has been performed indicating that the extension or renewal is reasonable and justified,

renewal will be repaid according to its terms. The written certification shall be made a part of
the minutes of the board of directors meetings, and a copy of the signed certification, together
with the credit analysis and related information that was used in the determination, shall be
retained by the Bank in the borrower's credit file for subsequent supervisory review. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term "related interest" is defined as set forth in section 215.2(n)

of $500,000, including OREO: (i) becomes past due as to principal or interest for more than

Financial Title Co. has shut its doors across the state as part of a closure of multiple offices and
title companies by its parent, Mercury Cos. of Colorado.
The decision by the largest real-estate title agent in Silicon Valley follows a move by Mercury's
lenders to pull their line of credit after Mercury failed to meet loan requirements, according to an
e-mail from Jim Hilbun, president of United Title of Texas. Unite Title is also owned by Mercury.
"Mercury is closing all of its companies outside of Colorado, which includes Arizona, California,
Oregon and Nevada," Hilbun told employees.
Examiners representing the California Department of Insurance, which regulates and polices titlepolicy underwriters and agents, were on hand at all 57 Financial Title offices in the state
Wednesday to ensure that escrow funds were properly handled and not stolen or lost, said Darrel
Ng, press secretary for the agency.
Financial Title did not close due any enforcement action by the state nor has First American
assumed responsibility for the pending escrows as a result of state pressure or requirement, he
said.
Workers were removing items before dawn on Wednesday from Financial Title's Pruneyard office
in Campbell. A sign posted on the door said the office was closing and referred inquiries to First
American, Financial's title policy underwriter, and to Mercury.
The Pruneyard office is one of 16 listed in Santa Clara County on Financial Title's Web site. It also
lists five in San Mateo County, five in San Francisco, four in Contra Costa County and 15 in
Sacramento County.
Neither Financial Title nor Mercury nor First American responded to calls for this story immediately.
Sources who have spoken to Financial Title employees said the title company began closing its
doors in Santa Clara County Tuesday night. Those sources said all employees have lost their jobs,
and Financial's underwriter, First American Title Co., has been collecting open escrow files at the
closed offices. They also say Financial Chief Executive Officer Ivy Anderson has resigned.
Anderson did not return a message left on her cell phone. Jim Cortese, county manager of

Financial's Santa Clara County operations, also has lost his job.
The abrupt move mirrors that of Financial's former sister company, Alliance Title Co., which also
closed with almost no notice late last year. Former employees and landlords of Alliance have filed
multiple lawsuits alleging they were not paid. Alliance declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Northern
California federal court June 5.
Mercury is owned by the Jerrold G. "Jerry" Hauptman family of Colorado. Financial Title is still
operating in Colorado.

Reverse mortgages draw attention as need grows, other lending falters

Premium content from Sacramento Business Journal by Mark Anderson, Staff Writer
Date: Sunday, July 29, 2007, 9:00pm PDT
Liberty Reverse Mortgage Inc. was not for sale. But Genworth Financial Inc. badly wanted to add
the nation's fourth-largest originator of reverse mortgages to its stable of financial services.
Last week, its persistence paid off, as Genworth announced it would pay $50 million for the
four-year-old Rancho Cordova company. Liberty founders Scott Hanson and Pat McClain could
potentially earn more if performance goals are reached, Genworth spokesman Tom Topinka said.
Hanson and McClain, the principals of Hanson McClain Retirement Planning, will take advisory
committee positions with Genworth, Hanson said.
The Liberty acquisition, which closes at the end of the year, continues the trend of large,
independent reverse mortgage operations being bought out. IndyMac Bancorp Inc. in 2004 bought
Financial Freedom. In April, Bank of America bought Seattle Mortgage, which operates Reverse
Mortgage of America.
Wells Fargo, IndyMac Bancorp Inc. and Seattle Mortgage Co. are now the top reverse mortgage
companies, ahead of Liberty.
Genworth (NYSE: GNW), based in Richmond, Va., is an insurance holding company that sells
insurance, mortgage and retirement products and, starting next year, reverse mortgages.
McClain and Hanson launched Liberty in 2003 because they often saw a need for it in their
retirement planning practice. Some seniors on limited incomes whose largest asset is their home
cannot make ends meet. For such people, a home equity loan isn't a good product because it
comes with monthly payments. The home equity conversion mortgage -- the official name of a
reverse mortgage -- draws down on the home's value and includes an insurance policy that
guarantees the resident can never be pushed out.
"When Genworth first approached us, we weren't interested," Hanson said. "But as we looked at
it, it made a lot of sense. We can use their strength to increase cross marketing. They specialize in
the senior market. ... The more we looked at it, the more we realized the better it can fit. They
can grow it a lot faster than we can."
In addition to being a good financial deal for Hanson and McClain, the reverse mortgage business
makes a big difference in a lot of people's lives, Hanson said. There are seniors who might live in a

nice house, which is a huge cache of stored equity, and yet they cannot afford to buy food, he
said.
"A lot of companies want to get into this business," said Rich Young, Sacramento branch manager
of California Reverse Mortgage. His company was bought last year by Atlanta-based Generation
Mortgage Co., now the 10th-largest reverse mortgage company in the country.
"There is a huge need for this product, and there is a lot of demand. The estimate is that there is
only 1 percent penetration in the market," Young said.
With the slowdown in regular mortgages and the fallout of subprime lending, some regular
mortgage professionals are trying to do reverse mortgages, Young said.
"They don't realize this is a completely different business," he said.
Reverse mortgages are a highly specialized product. Federal law mandates a two-hour counseling
session for the person who signs the loan papers.
"Unless someone specializes in reverse mortgages, they are not an easy product to sell," said Jeff
Tarbell, president of ATM Mortgage Corp. in Sacramento. "It costs so much to go through the
whole process, and they take a lot of time."
All 150 Liberty employees will be retained in the current office, Topinka said. Genworth has two
other subsidiaries with locations in California. Genworth was spun out of General Electric Co. in a
$2.8 billion public offering in 2004.
Hanson and McClain launched Liberty as a separate company. They never took on any debt to
build Liberty, growing it from cash flow.
Hanson McClain, meanwhile, has been expanding its own retirement planning offices across the
country. Locally, it has offices in Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom and Elk Grove. Over the past
couple of years, Hanson McClain has added offices in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Oak Brook, Ill.,
and Southfield, Mich.
Hanson McClain has grown to $1.2 billion in assets under management. A subsidiary, the Hanson
McClain Network, a marketing and transfer agent for independent retirement advisers, has more
than $3 billion in assets under management.

This letter is being sent to you in regards to your recent inquiries about the Growth
accruing on your loan. The following paragraphs will describe how Growth is calculated
and how it reflects on your monthly statement. There are several components utilized in
the growth calculation process. Each of these components are listed below and the
calculations for each are described. For reference, copies of the Exhibit 1 Payment Plan
and the Home Equity Conversion Loan Agreement from your loan closing package have
been included with this letter.
Net Principal Limit

The Net Principal Limit reflects the funds available to a borrower at any given time.
These funds may be held in a Line of Credit, a Payment Reserve (for scheduled
payments), a Tax and Insurance Set Aside, or a combination of the three. The
calculation used to determine the Net Principal Limit at closing is the same calculation
used today. Examining the Exhibit 1 Payment Plan, Line 14 lists this calculation as
Principal Limit less Closing costs, Discharge of Liens, Loan Advances, Servicing Fee Set
Aside, Repairs, and First Year Property Charges. The Closing Costs, Discharge of
Liens and Loan Advances all make up the original Outstanding Loan Balance.
Using an example loan with a Principal Limit of $250,000.00, an Outstanding Loan
Balance of $75,000.00, a Servicing Fee Set Aside (SFSA) of $5,000.00, and $500.00
each for Repairs and First Year Property Charges the calculation works as follows:
$250,000.00 - $75,000.00 - $5,000.00 - $500.00 - $500.00
=$169,000.00
Principal Limit - Outstanding Loan Balance - SFSA - Repair & First Year
=Net Principal Limit
This calculation will be revisited towards the end of this letter to better describe the
Growth calculation process.
Principal Limit
The Principal Limit is equal to the total amount of funds available to a borrower at the
very outset of the Reverse Mortgage prior to any closing and loan origination deductions.
You will notice in the Exhibit 1 Payment Plan this figure is listed on the first line. It is this
figure that will grow each month by one-twelfth of the current interest rate plus .5%. This
37
Bankof America -.
.
calculation is set down by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
and is listed under section 1.7 of the Loan Agreement included with this letter.
As stated above, the Principal Limit undergoes this calculation once a month (at the end
of business on the last day of the month). The product of this calculation, the Growth, is
then added back into the existing Principal Limit value to increase the Principal Limit to a
new value. Below is an example of how this calculation works:
$250,000.00 * (3.5% + .5%) /12 = $833.33

Principal Limit * Current rate + .5% / 12 = Growth
$250,000.00 + $833.33
Principal Limit + Growth
=$250,833.33
=New Principal Limit
Outstanding Loan Balance

Each month Interest, Mortgage Insurance, and the Monthly Servicing Fee accrue on the
Outstanding Loan Balance. The Monthly Servicing Fee is a set amount; however,
interest and Mortgage Insurance (MIP) are based on rates, existing balances, and
advances and will vary over the life of the loan. These monthly accruals are added to
the eXisting Outstanding Loan Balance on the last day of the month similar to the way in
which Growth is added to the Principal Limit. The interest and MIP calculations are a bit
more complex as they differ between monthly and daily accruals
Interest
Interest accrues based on the current interest rate in effect at the time which interest is
calculated. As mentioned above the calculation method may vary slightly depending on
whether the monthly or daily (or both) calculation methods are used. The monthly
interest calculation is based on the prior month's ending Outstanding Loan Balance,
while the daily interest calculation is used to calculate interest on advances made from
the loan. The daily calculation is used to ensure borrowers are only charged interest for
the number of days the advance was outstanding. An example of how this calculation
will work on loan with a $75,000.00 Outstanding Loan Balance from the previous month
end and a $2,000.00 advance taken on the 5th day of a 30 day month is as follows:
$75,000.00 * 3.5% /12 = $218.75
Prior Month's Ending Balance * Current Interest Rate I 12 = Monthly Interest
$2,000.00 * 3.5% /365 * 25 = $4.79
Advance Amount * Current Interest Rate 1# of days in the year * # of days outstanding
=Daily Interest
$218.75 + $4.79 = $223.54
Monthly Interest + Daily Interest
=Total Interest Accrual
In the example above there was Monthly and Daily interest accrued on the loan. These
two figures were then added together to provide the Total Interest Accrual for the month
which is the figure that would reflect on the monthly statement.
MIP
Bankof America .
Mortgage Insurance works much the same way interest does. There is only one notable
difference between the two. While the rate used to calculate interest will vary over the
life of the loan, the MIP calculation uses a set .5% rate to calculate. Using the same
example listed above for the interest accrual, the MIP calculations below show how this
calculation would work:
$75,000 * .5% 112 $31.25
Prior Month's Ending Balance * .5% / 12 =Monthly MIP
$2,000.00 * .5% I 365 * 25
=$0.68
Advance Amount * .5% / # of days in the year * # of days outstanding = Daily MIP
$31.25 + $0.68 = $31.93
Monthly MIP + Daily MIP = Total MIP Accrual
Servicing Fee
The monthly Servicing Fee amount was set at closing and will accrue on the Reverse
Mortgage at the end of each month along with the interest and MIP. Using the
calculations listed above with a monthly Servicing Fee of $30.00, the new Outstanding
Loan Balance would reflect as:
$75,000.00 + $2,000.00 + $223.54 + $31.93 + $30.00
Prior Month's Balance + Advance + Interest + MIP + Servicing Fee
=$77,285.47
=New Outstanding Loan Balance
Servicing Fee Set Aside

The Servicing Fee Set Aside is a value calculated at closing. It represents the total
estimated funds that need to be set aside from the Principal Limit to ensure the monthly
Servicing Fee can be accrued on the Outstanding Loan Balance every month. This
figure is also listed on the Exhibit 1 Payment Plan and undergoes its own set of monthly
calculations.
Before describing the calculations used on the Servicing Fee Set Aside (SFSA) it is
important to discuss how the initial SFSA shown on the Payment Plan was calculated at
closing. The initial value was calculated using the monthly Servicing Fee amount, the
Expected Average Interest Rate (also listed on the Payment Plan), and the number of
months remaining until the youngest borrower's 100th birthday. You will notice however
that the monthly Servicin~ Fee amount multiplied by the number of month's until the
youngest borrower's 100 birthday produces a much higher figure than that listed on the
Payment Plan. This is because the SFSA grows every month as well and this monthly
growth was taken into account when the initial SFSA value was calculated at closing.
The Servicing Fee Set Aside goes through a set of calculations each month to arrive at
new figures. First the monthly Servicing Fee being added to the Outstanding Loan
Balance is deducted. Then the Growth on the SFSA is calculated and added back to the
remaining balance. For example:
$5,000.00 - $30.00
=$4,970.00
SFSA - Monthly Servicing Fee
=Adjusted SFSA
$4,970.00 * (4.3% + .5%) /12 = $19.88
..
BankofAmerica ~
.
Adjusted SFSA * Expected Average Interest Rate + .5% / 12 = SFSA Growth
$4,970.00 + $19.88 = $4,989.88
Adjusted SFSA + SFSA Growth
=New SFSA
As listed above, the SFSA value decreased and then grew using the Expected Average
Interest Rate as opposed to the current interest rate used to calculate Growth on the
Principal Limit. The Expected Average Interest Rate is another value determined and
set at closing. It will remain the same value for the life of the loan.
Repairs and First Year Property Charges

If there are repairs required as a stipulation to obtaining the Reverse Mortgage, or if a
borrower has elected to set aside funds from the Principal Limit to pay the property taxes
and homeowner's insurance for the first year of the loan, the Repair and/or First Year
Set Asides are created. These values will decrease as the necessary repairs, taxes, or
insurance are paid.
Net Principal Limit (Revisited)

Now that each of the components of Growth have been discussed, refer back to the
initial Net Principal Limit calculation discussed at the beginning of this letter. The
calculation is listed as:
$250,000.00 - $75,000.00 - $5,000.00 - $500.00 - $500.00
=$169,000.00
Principal Limit - Outstanding Loan Balance - SFSA - Repair & First Year = Net Principal Limit
Using this as an example, the preceding sections have covered how each of these
figures grows and adjusts. After the next month end, the Net Principal Limit of
$169,000.00 changes to $167,560.05 by using the calculation:
$250,833.33 - $77,285.47 - $4,989.88 - $500.00 - $500.00 = $ 167,557.98
On the surface, this may seem to be a decrease in the Net Principal Limit. However, if
we take into consideration that there was a $2,000.00 advance added to the loan .
balance (see Outstanding Loan Balance section), we can see there is actually an
increase in the Net Principal Limit of $557.98. To better highlight this, let's run through
another month of calculations using the new figures provided above.
Principal Limit
$250,833.33 * (3.5% + .5%) /12 = $836.11

$250,833.33+ $836.11 = $251,669.44
Principal Limit + Growth
=New Principal Limit
$77,285.47 * 3.5% /12 = $225.42
Bankof America .....

Prior Month's Ending Balance * Current Interest Rate / 12
=Monthly Interest
$77,285.47 * .5% /12 = $32.20
Prior Month's Ending Balance * .5% / 12 =Monthly MIP
$77,285.47 + $225.42 + $32.20 + $30.00 = $77,573.09
Prior Month's Balance + Interest + MIP + Servicing Fee = New Outstanding Loan Balance
$4,989.88 - $30.00
=$4,959.88
SFSA - Monthly Servicing Fee = Adjusted SFSA
$4,959.88 * (4.3% + .5%) /12
=$19.84
$4,959.88 + $19.84 $4,979.72
Adjusted SFSA + SFSA Growth =New SFSA
Net Principal Limit
$251,669.44 - $77,573.09 - $4,979.72 - $500.00 - $500.00
=$168,116.63
The calculations listed above differ than those previously discussed only in that there
was no advance. In this scenario the Net Principal Limit changed from $167,557.98 to
$168,116.63, an increase of $558.65. This value will be reflected on the monthly
statement as the Net Principal Limit Increase just like the $557.98 figure did. This figure
reflects the net increase in the funds available to a borrower at any given time, or the
Growth.
I hope this letter has served to clarify the Growth process. The calculations referenced in
this letter are quite complex and as such your Reverse Servicing department welcomes
any questions you may have regarding the calculations. Please do not hesitate to

Negative Growth
There is also the potential for the Net Principal Limit to begin decreasing. This phenomenon is
referred to as Negative Growth and will only occur on a Reverse Mortgage when certain
conditions are place, namely that the current interest rate is less than the expected average
interest rate and that the Net Principal Limit has a relatively small existing balance. When the
HUD calculations are used on a monthly basis to calculate the available funds (Net Principal
Limit), they will begin to decrease even though no advances were taken on the account. For
example, using the loan figures listed below we can see the Net Principal Limit is relatively small.
$250,000.00 - $243,000.00 - 5,000.00 - $500.00 - $500.00 = $1,000.00
If the current interest rate was 3.5% and the expected average interest rate was 5.5% the
calculations would reflect as follows:
Principal Limit
$250,000.00 * (3.5% + .5%) /12 = $833.33

$250,000.00 + $833.33 = $250,833.33
Principal Limit + Growth = New Principal Limit
$243,000.00 * 3.50/0 /12 = $708.75
Prior Month's Ending Balance * Current Interest Rate / 12 = Monthly Interest
$243,000.00 * .5% /12 = $101.25
Prior Month's Ending Balance * .5% / 12 = Monthly MIP
$243,000.00 + $708.75 + $101.25 + $30.00 = $ 243,840.00

Prior Month's Balance + Interest + MIP + Servicing Fee = New Outstanding Loan Balance
$5,000.00 - 30.00 = $4,970.00
SFSA - Monthly Servicing Fee
=Adjusted SFSA
$4,970.00 * (5.5% + .50/0) /12 = $24.85
$4,970.00 + $24.85
=$4,994.85
Adjusted SFSA + SFSA Growth = New SFSA
Net Principal Limit
$250,833.33 - $243,840.00 - $4,994.85 - $500.00 - $500.00 = $998.48

In this scenario the Net Principal Limit shows a clear decrease from $1,000.00 to $998.48. So
long as the expected average interest rate remains higher than the current interest rate, the
available Net Principal Limit will continue to decrease.
Bank of America has contacted the Department of Housing and Urban Development to notify
them of the calculation results and Negative Growth. However, there is a reimbursement process
in place to ensure our borrowers are not impacted by the results of Negative Growth. You will
find a Negative Growth Reimbursement Form attached to this letter. To seek reimbursement for
any funds lost due to Negative Growth all you need do is sign the form and send it back to the
Reverse Servicing Department. Doing so authorizes the Reverse Servicing Department to
release the remaining funds to you (to prevent further Negative Growth deductions) and to
reimburse you for funds lost to Negative Growth. Reverse Servicing Specialists will ensure you
are fully reimbursed for the most recent highest dollar amount available in your Net Principal
Limit. The Negative Growth Reimbursement check will be sent to your mailing address within 10
business days of receipt of the request.
Should you have any questions regarding Negative Growth or the reimbursement process, please
don't hesitate to contact one of our Reverse Servicing Specialists at the toll free number provided
on the Growth Calculation letter.

$1 BILLION TO BE PAID BY THE BANK OF AMERICA

TO THE UNITED STATES LARGEST FALSE CLAIMS ACT
SETTLEMENT RELATING TO MORTGAGE FRAUD
Agreement Resolves the United States' Civil Claims that

Bank of America, Through its Countrywide Financial
Subsidiaries, Defrauded the Federal Housing
Administration by Recklessly and Fraudulently
Underwriting Loans to Unqualified Borrowers
Agreement Also Resolves Claims Involving Home
Affordable Modification Program
As part of the global resolution between the United States
of America and the five largest mortgage servicing banks
in the country, which will bring much needed relief to
financially distressed homeowners nationwide, Loretta E.
Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of
New York, today announced that the government will also
resolve its claims against the Bank of America,
Countrywide Financial Corporation and certain
Countrywide subsidiaries and affiliates (Countrywide) for
underwriting and origination mortgage fraud.
Since 2009, the office has been investigating the Bank of
America's lending practices to determine whether the
bank, through Countrywide, which the bank acquired in
2008, knowingly made loans insured by the Federal
Housing Administration (FHA) to unqualified home
buyers. To date, the FHA has incurred hundreds of
millions of dollars in damages as a result of this conduct.
The investigation also encompassed allegations that the
40

HUDNo.12-026
2 of 4
bank and Countrywide defrauded the FHA insurance fund

by originating mortgage loans that were based upon
inflated appraisals. During the investigation, the office
determined that the bank's conduct provides a basis for
affirmative civil enforcement under, among other legal
remedies, the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. 3729-33.
As part of the global settlement, Bank of America will pay
$1 billion to resolve the wrongdoing uncovered during the
office's investigation. The settlement will entail an
immediate payment of $500 million to provide a recovery
for the harm done to the FHA by Countrywide's conduct.
Payment of the second $500 million will be deferred to
fund a loan modification program for Countrywide
borrowers across the nation with underwater mortgages.
Under the terms of the program, Bank of America will
solicit all potentially eligible borrowers and provide a loan
modification to anyone with an eligible mortgage who
accepts the offer. If, after the expiration of three years,
the bank has not met its obligation to apply the full $500
million to provide such relief, any remainder will be paid
directly to the United States.
"We announce today the largest ever False Claims Act
settlement relating to mortgage fraud. Through their
underwriting and origination of tens of thousands of
government-insured loans to unqualified borrowers,
Countrywide Financial subsidiaries systematically abused
the Federal Housing Administration and became some of
the main players in this country's financial crisis. We are
committed to protecting the FHA's ability to provide
assistance to qualified low income and first-time
home-buyers, and this settlement goes a long way
toward that end. It also puts lenders on notice that they
will face serious financial consequences for violating their
obligations under the FHA's programs," stated United
States Attorney Lynch.
Ms. Lynch expressed her grateful appreciation for the
assistance provided by Shaun Donovan, Secretary of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD);
Helen Kanovsky, General Counsel for HUD; David
Montoya, Inspector General for HUD; and Julie Shaffer,
Director of the HUD Philadelphia Home Ownership Center.

"It is fundamental that lending institutions that earn the

authority to directly endorse FHA-insured mortgages
apply our standards," said HUD Secretary Donovan. "This
is the largest false claims act settlement related to
mortgage fraud and will not only compensate FHA but will
also ensure assistance for homeowners who have been
harmed by Countrywide."
"This agreement is demonstrative, and should serve as a
model, of what results can be achieved when agencies of
the United States Government join forces in a united
effort to combat fraud in the FHA insured mortgage
program," said Inspector General Montoya. "OIG staff
served IG subpoenas, conducted multiple interviews,
reviewed loan files, and worked closely with the U.S.
Attorney's office in developing this case." He further
added, "I am appreciative of the tenacity with which the
Assistant United States Attorneys approached this
matter, the expertise and effort of my OIG auditors,
investigators and legal team, and the assistance of the
HUD Office of General Counsel and its Office of Program
Enforcement and Philadelphia Home Ownership Center
throughout this endeavor."
The settlement announced today also resolves the office's
investigation, conducted with the Special Inspector
General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program and the
Inspector General for the Federal Housing Finance
Agency, of allegations that Bank of America defrauded
the government by failing to determine the eligibility of
homeowners to participate in the government's Home
Affordable Modification Program. Ms. Lynch thanked
Christy L. Romero, Acting Special Inspector General for
the Troubled Asset Relief Program, and Steve A. Linick,
the Inspector General for the Federal Housing Finance
Agency, for their assistance in this investigation.
The Eastern District's investigation was conducted by
Assistant United States Attorneys Richard K. Hayes and
Kenneth M. Abell, Affirmative Civil Enforcement Auditor
Emily Rosenthal, Senior Trial Counsel, Commercial
Litigation Branch, United States Department of Justice,
William C. Edgar, and Trial Attorney, Commercial
Litigation Branch, United States Department of Justice,

B.10 Reviewing the Clients Level of Understanding

The content of a reverse mortgage counseling session is comprehensive and complex. A truly
informed decision to apply for a reverse mortgage requires both an understanding of the essential
elements of the loan and the ability to apply that knowledge to the clients individual situation.
Part of the counselors role is to review, during and at the end of every session, whether the
client has been adequately informed and has a level of understanding indicating he or she grasps
the fundamental facts of a reverse mortgage.
When providing counseling by telephone, counselors must be particularly sensitive to a clients
level of understanding. Counselors must sometimes judge whether a client has adequate ability
to participate in the counseling session, to make reasonable decisions based on the information
provided by the counselor, and to understand the risks and consequences of his or her decisions
regarding a reverse mortgage.
Review Questions
During the session, counselors must ask ten questions to determine whether the client has
understood the essential features of the reverse mortgage. These questions explore some of the
most fundamental facts about reverse mortgages things that every adequately informed client
must know. The counselor must disclose to the client that questions will be asked during the
counseling session to determine if the client understands the information being discussed.
These questions must not be given as a written test, nor are they to be presented as something the
client has to pass in order to get the loan. Presenting the questions in these ways may
intimidate some clients, causing them to get confused when trying to answer the questions. This
means that counselors must be familiar with the set of questions provided, so that they can ask
the questions conversationally, framed as a review of the most important concepts presented
during the session.
As an example, after discussing when the loan needs to be repaid, the counselor might say: I
want to make sure I am explaining things to you clearly, so I will periodically ask you some
questions to make sure. This also gives me a way to emphasize some key aspects of a reverse
mortgage. Heres question number 1. When will you need to pay back your Reverse Mortgage
loan? If a client answers incorrectly, the counselor can discuss the concept further and ask the
question again.
Clients must answer five questions correctly to receive the Counseling Certificate at the initial
counseling session. For additional instructions on what counselors should do if the client cannot
answer five questions correctly see the section titled Results of the Review. Counselors must be
aware of financially savvy clients when posing questions and adopt the appropriate tone and
delivery of these questions. For clients who seem to be having trouble remembering the
information, prompts may be given to assist the client in answering the questions. If the client
gets a question wrong or only partially right, the counselor should try a prompt or rephrase the
question to see if that helps, and then briefly review the right answer before going on to the next
question. Whenever possible, avoid yes/no questions.
145
41
If there are two or more borrowers, the counselor may request that each client alternate
answering questions. In addition, if one client appears to be quieter and less involved during the
session, the counselor may direct the questions entirely to that client, while asking the other
client to remain silent. If the quiet client cannot respond, then the counselor may allow the other
one to answer the question. The counselor must avoid allowing a dominant client to completely
take over the question and answer exchange.
When counseling an older adult with a son or daughter or other advisor present, the counselor
must direct questions to the homeowner and ask the other person to remain silent. It may be
necessary in some cases to ask the other person to leave the room in order to get a good idea of
whether the client has understood the essential features of the reverse mortgage.
If the client is accompanied by a legal representative (e.g., someone who has durable power of
attorney), direct the questions to the client whenever possible, asking the agent to remain silent
until the client has attempted to answer. If the client is unable to respond adequately, the
certificate should be signed by the legal representative only and should include the notation that
the client was unable to fully participate in counseling.
The following are lists of questions from which the counselor must chose ten to ask the client:
General Questions About Reverse Mortgages and HECMs
When you have a reverse mortgage, who owns your house (whose name is on the title/deed)?
There are several payment options or ways to get money from a reverse mortgage. Which
payment option do you think will best meet your needs? What other choices do you have (if
applicable)? What happens if you change your mind later and want to change your payment
plan?
When you have a reverse mortgage, do you have to make a monthly payment to the bank?
Does the money you get from a reverse mortgage ever have to be paid back?
Questions to determine if the client understands the implications of a reverse mortgage
When does the reverse mortgage have to be paid back?
What homeowner responsibilities will you continue to have after you get a reverse mortgage?
What may happen if you do not keep up these responsibilities as a borrower?
What happens if you use up all the money that is available from the reverse mortgage?
Offer an example tailored to clients circumstances, e.g., What if you took all the money
from the reverse mortgage in a lump sum and spent every bit of it? What would happen to
you? Would you be able to go on living in your house?
146
What happens if the amount you owe under a reverse mortgage gets to be greater than your
home is worth at that time? Would you have to move out of your house? Would you have to
take out another loan to pay the difference?
If you get a reverse mortgage, how does that change the amount of money that you will have
to leave to your children (or other heirs)? Will your children or other heirs inherit more or
less after you die, than they would have without the reverse mortgage?
How does a reverse mortgage change the amount of money you would have left to take with
you if you moved somewhere else like into a retirement community? Will you have more or
less left over to spend if you move somewhere else?
Questions for Refinances
If you refinance your current HECM, will you still have to pay mortgage insurance? How
does this work?
What are some of the additional costs you will incur with a refinance?
Questions for Purchase HECMs
When you purchase a home with a HECM, will the HECM be held on your existing home or
your newly purchased home?
How will the lender determine how much money you will need at closing? What sources of
funds (money) are allowed when you purchase a home with a HECM?
Why is it important to get a home inspection?
When you are working with a real estate professional, what are some of the questions you
should ask him/her?
Results of the Review
Counselors must make detailed notes about difficulties the client has in answering questions,
particularly when the answers are grossly inadequate, as this will help support any decision to
withhold or delay issuing the certificate.
Because these questions are meant to test the most basic reverse mortgage concepts, if the client
cannot provide adequate answers for five questions, there may be concern about his or her ability
to make an adequately informed reverse mortgage decision. If that is the case, the counselor
must not issue the counseling certificate after the first counseling session, but must propose
additional ways to help the client gain the necessary knowledge. These options must meet the
clients specific needs.
The counselor will offer one or more of the following in order to answer the 5 out of 10
questions correctly.
147
Schedule an additional session to allow more time to review important topics and possibly at
a different time of day, or
Help the client to arrange a face-to-face counseling session with the original counselor or
another counselor, or
Ask the client if there is someone else he or she could bring with them to or could join in a
phone counseling session and schedule another session to include this person.
During any additional counseling sessions, the counselor will ask the review questions again. If
the client again is not able to correctly answer five out of the ten questions, the counselor will
ask the client if they would like additional time and invite them to come back at a later date after
they have had more time to study the materials. A certificate cannot be issued until the client
correctly answers 5 out of the 10 questions.
Fraud and Coercion
Although fraud and coercion are not limited to clients with impaired ability to understand and
make decisions, cognitively impaired clients are more vulnerable to such exploitation.
Counselors should be especially sensitive to the possibility that such a client is being pushed into
an inappropriate choice by others who do not have the clients best interests at heart. If the
counselor feels that: 1) the client was coerced into pursuing a reverse mortgage, or 2) the client
may be a victim of elder abuse or exploitation, the counselor should advise clients that each state
has an elder abuse hotline and provide them with the hotline phone number in the clients state.

HUD Statement on Predatory Lending - HECM Calculator for Housing Industry
HUDs webpage on Predatory Lending, found at the link below, begins as follows:
Over the last several years, our nation has made enormous progress in expanding access
to capital for previously under served borrowers. Despite this progress, however, too
many families are suffering today because of a growing incidence of abusive practices in
a segment of the mortgage lending market. Predatory mortgage lending practices strip
borrowers of home equity and threaten families with foreclosure, destabilizing the very
communities that are beginning to enjoy the fruits of our nations economic success.
Read more at the link.
http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/sfh/pred/predlend
Ironically, as shown in the Gillespie complaint, HUD makes inflated or unrealistic
financial projections to borrowers, a practice that strips borrowers of home equity,
threatens families with foreclosure, and destabilizes communities. HUD provides false
and misleading financial information to borrowers in its Reverse Mortgage Analyst, Loan
Product Comparison Tool, and Financial Calculators. Telling senior citizens that they can
expect a four (4) percent rise in property value every year is akin to appraisal fraud in a
reverse mortgage, where a HECM reverse mortgage with a line of credit is supposed to
allow the borrowers access to the projected four (4) percent annual home appreciation as
shown in The Reverse Mortgage Analyst.
HUD has a webpage for Housing industry professionals to download the Home Equity
Conversion Mortgages calculator, see Installation Instructions for HECM Software.
http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/sfh/hecm/hecminst
It appears that HUD creates false and misleading financial information through its Home
Equity Conversion Mortgages calculator for Housing industry professionals. Housing
industry professionals then use this false and misleading information to sell HECM
reverse mortgages to unsuspecting and vulnerable senior citizens. As shown in our case,
this practice strips borrowers of home equity and threatens families with foreclosure.
Wikipedia describes predatory lending as unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent practices of
some lenders during the loan origination process.

HUDs Fiduciary Duty to Borrowers
HUD has a duty to educate families and individuals in order to help them make smart
decisions regarding improving their housing situation and meeting the responsibilities of
tenancy and homeownership. Section 255(d)(2)(B) of the National Housing Act (12 USC
42
1715z-20(d)(2)(B)) provides that to be eligible for insurance, a HECM must be executed

by a mortgagor who received adequate counseling by a third party (other than the
lender). Subsection 255(f) establishes that the Department shall provide, or cause to be
provided by entities other than the lender, housing counseling for HECM mortgagors.
HUDs Reverse Mortgage Handbook 7610.1 describes the Primary Objective of
counseling, and Persons in a Position of Trust in HUD-approved housing counseling
agencies:
Section 1-2, Program Description, The primary objective of the program is to
educate families and individuals in order to help them make smart decisions regarding
improving their housing situation and meeting the responsibilities of tenancy and
homeownership. Counselors also help borrowers avoid inflated appraisals, unreasonably
high interest rates, unaffordable repayment terms and other conditions that can result in a
loss of equity, increased debt, default and possible foreclosure. Section 1-3 requires
compliance with program requirements.
Section 1-4 defines HUD-approved housing counseling agencies, defines their
employees as persons in a position of trust, and describes predatory lending as
unscrupulous actions by lenders, appraisers, mortgage brokers, and other industry
participants that take advantage of mortgagors and can result in a loss of equity,
increased debt, default and possible foreclosure. Section 1-5 describes HUD Program
Responsibilities.
Consumer Credit Counseling Services, Money Management International Incorporated
(CCCS/MMI) was the HUD-approved housing counseling agency for this loan.
According to Wikipedia, in its 2007 Annual Report, MMI identified Bank of America as
a major contributor. MMI failed to disclose this conflict of interest during the reverse
mortgage counseling session.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_Management_International
A fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care at either equity or law. In a fiduciary
relationship, one person, in a position of vulnerability, justifiably vests confidence, good
faith, reliance and trust in another whose aid, advice or protection is sought in some
matter. (Wikipedia)
