PLAINTIFF is now the legal owner of the mortgage and is in the process of formalizing an assignment of same. The premises subject to said mortgage is described as attached. The mortgage is in default because monthly payments of principal and interest upon said mortgage due 12/02/2003 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.

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 $ 37,045.89, together with interest from 04/12/2004 at the rate of $5.74 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.
