The name(s) and last known address(es) of the Defendant(s) are: THE MELVIN E. FETTRO TRUST DATED 2/12/07 210 HERMAN AVENUE LEMOYNE, PA 17043-1937 THE UNKNOWN SUCCESSORS, TRUSTEES AND BENEFICIARIES OF THE MELVIN E. FETRO TRUST DATED 2/12/07 210 HERMAN AVENUE LEMOYNE, PA 17043-1937 UNKNOWN HEIRS, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, AND ALL PERSONS, FIRMS, OR ASSOCIATIONS CLAIMING RIGHT, TITLE OR INTEREST FROM OR UNDER MELVIN E. FETTRO, DECEASED 210 HERMAN AVENUE LEMOYNE, PA 17043-11937 who are the real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described. 3. On 09/11/2007 THE MELVIN E. FETTRO, TRUST AND MELVIN E. FETTRO, TRUSTEE, DATED 2-21-07 made, executed and delivered a mortgage upon the premises hereinafter described to PLAINTIFF which mortgage is recorded in the Office of the Recorder of CUMBERLAND County, in Instrument No. 200736611. The mortgage and assignment(s), if any, are matters of public record and are incorporated herein by reference in accordance with Pa.R.C.P. 1019(g); which Rule relieves the Plaintiff from its obligations to attach documents to pleadings if those documents are of public record. 4. The premises subject to said mortgage is described as attached. 5. The mortgage is in default because monthly payments of principal and interest upon said mortgage due 12/15/2007 and each month thereafter are due and unpaid, and by the terms File #: 179404 of said mortgage, upon failure of mortgagor to make such payments after a date specified 6. by written notice sent to Mortgagor, the entire principal balance and all interest due thereon are collectible forthwith. The following amounts are due on the mortgage: Principal Balance $88,061.07 Interest $5,298.61 11/15/2007 through 07/23/2008 Attorney's Fees $1,250.00 Cumulative Late Charges $0.00 09/11/2007 to 07/23/2008 Cost of Suit and Title Search 550.00 Subtotal $95,159.68 Escrow Credit $0.00 Deficit $0.00 Subtotal 0.00 TOTAL $95,159.68 7. 8 If the mortgage is reinstated prior to a Sheriff s Sale, the attorney's fee set forth above may be less than the amount demanded based on work actually performed. The attorney's fees requested are in conformity with the mortgage and Pennsylvania law. Plaintiff reserves its right to collect attorney's fees up to 5% of the remaining principal balance in the event the property is sold to a third party purchaser at Sheriffs Sale, or if the complexity of the action requires additional fees in excess of the amount demanded in the Action. Plaintiff is not seeking a judgment of personal liability (or an in personam judgment) against the Defendant(s) in the Action; however, Plaintiff reserves its right to bring a separate Action to establish that right, if such right exists. If Defendant(s) has/have received a discharge of personal liability in a bankruptcy proceeding, this Action of Mortgage Foreclosure is in no way an attempt to reestablish such personal liability discharged in bankruptcy, but only to foreclose the mortgage and sell the mortgaged premises pursuant to Pennsylvania Law. File #: 179404 9. Notice of Intention to Foreclose as set forth in Act 6 of 1974, Notice of Homeowner's Emergency Assistance Program pursuant to Act 91 of 1983, as amended in 1998, and/or Notice of Default as required by the mortgage document, as applicable, have been sent to the Defendant(s) on the date(s) set forth thereon, and the temporary stay as provided by said notice has terminated because Defendant(s) has/have failed to meet with the Plaintiff or an authorized consumer credit counseling agency, or has/have been denied assistance by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency. 10. This action does not come under Act 6 of 1974 because the original mortgage amount exceeds $50,000. 11. This action does not come under Act 91 of 1983 because the mortgaged premise is not owner-occupied. 12. Mortgagor MELVIN E. FETTRO died on 11/29/07 and, upon information and belief, his surviving HEIRS are UNKNOWN. 13. Plaintiff contacted the Register of Wills of CUMBERLAND AND YORK Counties and was informed as of 7/17/08, no estate has been raised on behalf of the decedent mortgagor. 14. Plaintiff hereby releases MELVIN E. FETTRO, from liability for the debt secured by the mortgage. 15. Plaintiff does not hold the named Defendants, THE MELVIN E. FETTRO TRUST DATED 2/12/07, UNKNOWN SUCCESSOR, TRUSTEES AND BENEFICIARIES OF THE MELVIN E. FETTRO TRUST DATED 2/12/0 AND UNKNOWN HEIRS OF MELVIN E. FETTRO, DECEASED, personally liable on this cause of action and releases them from any personal liability. This action is being brought to foreclose their interest in the aforesaid real estate only. File #: 179404 16. Defendants, THE MELVIN E. FETTRO TRUST DATED 2/12/07, UNKNOWN SUCCESSOR, TRUSTEES AND BENEFICIARIES OF THE MELVIN E. FETTRO TRUST DATED 2/12/0 AND UNKNOWN HEIRS OF MELVIN E. FETTRO, DECEASED, have been named in accordance with Pa R.C.P. I I44(a)(2), in order to divest the equitable interests in the premises and have no personal liability for the debt secured by the mortgage. WHEREFORE, PLAINTIFF demands an in rem Judgment against the Defendant(s) in the sum of $95,159.68, together with interest from 07/23/2008 at the rate of $21.11 per diem to the date of Judgment, and other costs and charges collectible under the mortgage and for the foreclosure and sale of the mortgaged property.
