File #: 184956
1. Plaintiff is
GMAC MORTGAGE, LLC
1100 VIRGINIA DRIVE
P.O. BOX 8300
FORT WASHINGTON, PA 19034
2. The name(s) and last known address(es) of the Defendant(s) are:
LISA LEWIS
40 NORTH MIDDLESEX ROAD
CARLISLE, PA 17013-1627
who is/are the mortgagor(s) and/or real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described.
3. On 08/29/2007 mortgagor(s) made, executed and delivered a mortgage upon the premises
hereinafter described to MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS,
INC. AS A NOMINEE FOR HOMECOMINGS FINANCIAL, LLC F/K/A
HOMECOMINGS FINANCIAL NETWORK,INC. which mortgage is recorded in the
Office of the Recorder of CUMBERLAND County, in Mortgage Instrument No.
200735641. The PLAINTIFF is now the legal owner of the mortgage and is in the
process of formalizing an assignment of same. 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 05/01/2008 and each month thereafter are due and unpaid, and by the terms
of said mortgage, upon failure of mortgagor to make such payments after a date specified
by written notice sent to Mortgagor, the entire principal balance and all interest due
thereon are collectible forthwith.
File #: 184956
6.
The following amounts are due on the mortgage:
Principal Balance $123,689.44
Interest $3,379.60
04/01/2008 through 08/19/2008
Attorney's Fees $1,250.00
Cumulative Late Charges $41.90
08/29/2007 to 08/09/2008
Cost of Suit and Title Search 550.00
Subtotal $128,910.94
Escrow
Credit ($832.30)
Deficit $0.00
Subtotal 832.30
TOTAL $128,078.64
7
If the mortgage is reinstated prior to a Sheriffs 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 #: 184956
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.
WHEREFORE, PLAINTIFF demands an in rem Judgment against the Defendant(s) in
the sum of $128,078.64, together with interest from 08/19/2008 at the rate of $24.14 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.

Court of Common Pleas
Civil Division
CUMBERLAND County
LISA LEWIS
Defendant
No. 08-5005 CIVIL TERM
MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REASSESS DAMAGES
1. BACKGROUND OF CASE
LISA LEWIS executed a Promissory Note agreeing to pay principal, interest, late
charges, real estate taxes, hazard insurance premiums, and mortgage insurance premiums as
these sums became due. Plaintiffs Note was secured by a Mortgage on the Property located at
40 NORTH MIDDLESEX ROAD, CARLISLE, PA 17013-1627. The Mortgage indicates that in
the event a default in the mortgage, Plaintiff may advance any necessary sums, including taxes,
insurance, and other items, in order to protect the security of the Mortgage.
In the instant case, Defendant defaulted under the Mortgage by failing to tender numerous,
promised monthly mortgage payments. Accordingly, after it was clear that the default would not be
cured, Plaintiff commenced the instant mortgage foreclosure action. Judgment was subsequently
entered by the Court, and the Property is currently scheduled for Sheriffs Sale.
Because of the excessive period of time between the initiation of the mortgage foreclosure
action, the entry of judgment and the Sheriffs Sale date, damages as previously assessed are
outdated and need to be adjusted to include current interest, real estate taxes, insurance premiums,
costs of collection, and other expenses which Plaintiff has been obligated to pay under the Mortgage
in order to protect its interests. It is also appropriate to give Defendant credit for monthly payments
tendered through bankruptcy, if any.
II. LEGAL ARGUMENT TO AMEND PLAINTIFF'S IN REM JUDGMENT
It is settled law in Pennsylvania that the Court may exercise its equitable powers to control
the enforcement of a judgment and to grant any relief until that judgment is satisfied. 20 P.L.E.,
Judgments § 191. Stephenson v. Butts, 187 Pa.Super. 55, 59,142 A.2d 319,321 (1958). Chase
Home Mortgage Corporation of the Southwest v. Good, 537 A.2d 22, 24 (Pa.Super. 1988). The
Pennsylvania Superior Court has repeatedly cited the right of a foreclosing creditor to amend its
judgment prior to the Sheriffs sale. Nationsbanc Mortgage Corp. v. Grillo, 827 A.2d 489
(Pa.Super. 2003). Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. ofN.Y. v. Mowl, 705 A.2d 923 (Pa. Super. 1998).
Union National Bank of Pittsburgh v. Cion oli, 407 Pa. Super. 171, 595 A.2d 179 (1991).
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania recognized in Landau v. Western Pa. Nat. Bank 445
Pa. 117, 282 A.2d 335 (1971), that the debt owed on a Mortgage is subject to change and, in fact,
can be expected to change from day to day because the bank must advance sums in order to protect
its collateral. Because a Mortgage lien is not extinguished until the debt is paid, Plaintiff must
protect its collateral up until the date of sale. Beckman v. Altoona Trust Co., 332 Pa. 545, 2 A.2d
826 (1939). Because a judgment in mortgage foreclosure is strictly in rem, it is critical that the
judgment reflect those amounts expended by the Plaintiff in protecting the property. Meco Reality
Company v. Burns, 414 Pa. 495, 200 A.2d 335 (1971). Plaintiff submits that if it goes to sale
without the requested amended judgment, and if there is competitive bidding for the Property,
Plaintiff will suffer a significant loss in that it would not be able to recoup monies it advanced to
protect its interests. Conversely, amending the in rem judgment will not be detrimental to
Defendant as it imputes no personal liability.
In B.C.Y. v. Bukovich, the Pennsylvania Superior Court reiterated its long standing rule that
a Court has the inherent power to correct a judgment to conform to the facts of a case. 257 Pa.
Super. 157, 390 A.2d 276 (1978). In the within case, the amount of the original judgment does not
adequately reflect the additional sums due on the Mortgage due to Defendant's failure to tender
payments during the foreclosure proceeding and the advances made by the mortgage company. The
Mortgage plainly requires the mortgagor to tender to the mortgagee monthly payments of principal
and interest until the Promissory Note accompanying the Mortgage is paid in full. The mortgagor is
also required to remit to the mortgagee sufficient sums to pay monthly mortgage insurance
premiums, fire insurance premiums, taxes and other assessments relating to the Property. The
mortgagor has breached the terms of the Mortgage, and Plaintiff has been forced to incur significant
unjust financial losses on this loan.
III. THE FORECLOSURE JUDGMENT IS IN REM ONLY
The within case is a mortgage foreclosure action, the sole purpose of which is to take the
mortgaged property to Sheriffs Sale. Pennsylvania law makes clear that an action in mortgage
foreclosure is strictly in rem and does not include any personal liability. Newtown Village
Partnership v. Kimmel, 424 Pa. Super 53, 55, 621 A.2d 1036, 1037 (1993). Signal Consumer
Discount Company v. Babuscio, 257 Pa. Super 101, 109, 390 A.2d 266, 270 (1978). Pennsylvania
Rule of Civil Procedure 1141(a).
However, Pennsylvania law requires that the foreclosure action demand judgment for the
amount due. Pa.R.C.P. 1147(6). The purpose of the dollar amount in the in rem judgment is for
bidding at the Sheriffs Sale. In the event that a third party real estate speculator were to bid on the
mortgaged property at the Sheriffs Sale and become the successful purchaser, Plaintiff would
receive the amount of the in rem judgment from the Sheriff.
IV. INTEREST
The Mortgage clearly requires that the Defendant shall promptly pay when due the principal
and interest due on the outstanding debt. In addition, the Note specifies the rate of interest to be
charged until the debt is paid in full or otherwise satisfied. Specifically, interest from 30 days prior
to the date of default through the date of the impending Sheriff s sale has been requested.
V. TAXES AND INSURANCE
If Plaintiff had not advanced monies for taxes and insurance throughout the foreclosure
proceeding, Plaintiff would have risked loss of its collateral. If the Property were sold at a tax sale,
Plaintiffs interest very well may be divested, and Plaintiff would sustain a complete loss on the
outstanding balance due on the loan. If the Property were damaged in a fire, Plaintiff would not be
able to obtain insurance proceeds to restore the Property if it did not pay the insurance premiums.
Most importantly, the Mortgage specifically provides that the mortgagee may advance the
monies for taxes and insurance and charge these payments against the escrow account. Plaintiff is
simply seeking to have the Court enforce the terms of the Mortgage.
Vl. ATTORNEY'S FEES
The amount of attorney's fees requested in the Motion to Reassess Damages is in accordance
with the loan documents and Pennsylvania law. Pennsylvania Courts have long and repeatedly
concluded that a request of five percent of the outstanding principal balance is reasonable and
enforceable as an attorney's fee. Robinson v. Loomis, 51 Pa. 78 (1865); First Federal Savings and
Loan Association v. Street Road Shopping Center, 68 D&C 2d 751, 755 (1974).
In Federal Land Bank of Baltimore v. Fetner, the Superior Court held that an attorney's fee
of ten percent of the original mortgage amount is not unconscionable. 410 A.2d 344 (Pa. Super.
1979). Recently, the Superior Court cited Fetner in confirming that an attorney's fee of ten percent
included in the judgment in mortgage foreclosure action was reasonable. Citicorp v. Morrisville
Hampton Realty, 662 A.2d 1120 (Pa. Super. 1995). Importantly, Plaintiff recognizes this Honorable
Court's equitable authority to set attorney's fees and costs as it deems reasonable.
VII. CONCLUSION
Therefore, Plaintiff respectfully submits that if the enforcement of its rights is delayed by
legal proceedings, and such delays require the mortgagee to expend additional sums provided for by
the Mortgage, then the expenses necessarily become part of the mortgagee's lien and should be
included in the judgment.
Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant its Motion to Reassess
Damages. Plaintiff submits that it has acted in good faith in maintaining the Property in accordance
with the Mortgage, and has relied on terms of the Mortgage with the understanding that it would
recover the monies it expended to protect its collateral.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court amend the
judgment as requested.

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 05/01/2008 and each month thereafter are due and unpaid, and by the terms
of said mortgage, upon failure of mortgagor to make such payments after a date specified
by written notice sent to Mortgagor, the entire principal balance and all interest due
thereon are collectible forthwith.
Fife #: 194956
6. The following amounts are due on the mortgage:
Principal Balance $123,689.44
Interest $3,379.60
04/01/2008 through 08/19/2008
Attorney's Fees $1,250.00
Cumulative Late Charges $41.90
08/29/2007 to 08/09/2008
Cost of Suit and Title Search 550.00
Subtotal $128,910.94
Escrow
Credit ($832.30)
Deficit $0.00
Subtotal 832.30
TOTAL $128,078.64
7
8.
If the mortgage is reinstated prior to a Sheriffs 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 #: 194956
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.
WHEREFORE, PLAINTIFF demands an in rem Judgment against the Defendant(s) in
the sum of $128,078.64, together with interest from 08119/2008 at the rate of $24.14 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.

Your house (real estate) at, 40 NORTH MIDDLESEX ROAD, CARLISLE, PA 17013-1627,
is scheduled to be sold at the Sheriffs Sale on MARCH 4, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. in the Cumberland
County Courthouse, South Hanover Street, Carlisle, PA 17013, to enforce the court judgment of
$129,671.88 obtained by GMAC MORTGAGE, LLC (the mortgagee) against you. In the event the
sale is continued, an announcement will be made at said sale in compliance with Pa.R.C.P., Rule 3129.3.
NOTICE OF OWNER'S RIGHTS
YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PREVENT THIS SHERIFF'S SALE
To prevent this Sheriff s Sale, you must take immediate action:
1. The sale will be cancelled if you pay to the mortgagee the back payments, late charges,
costs and reasonable attorney's fees due. To find out how much you must pay, you may
call: (215) 563-7000.
2. You may be able to stop the sale by filing a petition asking the Court to strike or open the
judgment, if the judgment was improperly entered. You may also ask the Court to
postpone the sale for good cause.
3. You may also be able to stop the sale through other legal proceedings.
You may need an attorney to assert your rights. The sooner you contact one, the more chance
you will have of stopping the sale. (See notice on page two on how to obtain an attorney.)
YOU MAY STILL BE ABLE TO SAVE YOUR PROPERTY AND YOU HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS EVEN IF THE SHERIFF'S SALE DOES TAKE PLACE.
1. If the Sheriffs Sale is not stopped, your property will be sold to the highest bidder. You may
find out the price bid by calling (215) 563-7000.
2. You may be able to petition the Court to set aside the sale if the bid price was grossly
inadequate compared to the value of your property.
3. The sale will go through only if the buyer pays the Sheriff the full amount due in the sale. To
find out if this has happened, you may call (717) 240-6390.
4. If the amount due from the Buyer is not paid to the Sheriff, you will remain the owner of the
property as if the sale never happened.
5. You have the right to remain in the property until the full amount due is paid to the Sheriff
and the Sheriff gives a deed to the buyer. At that time, the buyer may bring legal proceedings to evict
you.
6. You may be entitled to a share of the money which was paid for your house. A schedule of
distribution of the money bid for your house will be filed by the Sheriff within 30 days of the sale. This
