COMPLAINT IN MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE
1. Plaintiff is MIDFIRST BANK, 999 N.W. Grand Boulevard, Suite 100 Oklahoma City, OK 73118-6116.
2. The names and addresses of the Defendant is JAMES E. GALLAGHER, 1241 York Road,
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055, who is the mortgagor and record owner of the mortgaged premises
hereinafter described.
3. On November 21, 1997 mortgagors made, executed and delivered a mortgage upon the Property
hereinafter described to NORTH AMERICAN MORTGAGE COMPANY, which mortgage is recorded
in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of Cumberland County as Book 1418, Page 15. A loan
modification has been recorded on June 11, 2007 in Book 737, Page 3165. The mortgage has been
assigned to: MIDFIRST BANK by assignment of Mortgage. Plaintiff is the real party in interest
pursuant to a purchase or transfer of the mortgage obligation from the last record holder and an
Assignment of Mortgage to Plaintiff has been and/or will be lodged for recording with the Recorder of
Deeds in the ordinary course of business. The Mortgage and assignment(s) are matters of public record
and are incorporated by this reference in accordance with Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1019(g);
which Rule relieves the Plaintiff from its obligation to attach documents to pleadings if those documents
are matters of public record.
4. The Property subject to the Mortgage is more fully described in the legal description set forth as Exhibit
"A" ("Property„).
5. The mortgage is in default because the monthly payments of principal and interest are due and unpaid
for August 01, 2008 and each month thereafter and by the terms of the Mortgage, upon default in such
payments for a period of one month or more, the entire principal balance and all interest due and other
charges are due and collectible.
6. The following amounts are due to Plaintiff on the Mortgage:
Principal Balance ....................................................................................
Interest from 07/01/2008 through 02/28/2009 at 6.2500% .....................
Per Diem interest rate at $13.79
Reasonable Attorney's Fee at 5% of Principal Balance
as more fully explained in the next numbered paragraph .................
Late Charges from 08/01/2008 to 02/28/2009
$80,507.24
..$3,350.96
$4,025.36
...$212.01
.........................................
Monthly late charge amount at $25.67
Costs of suit and Title Search ......................................................................$900.00
NSF Fees ........................................................................................................$30.00
Escrow Balance ............................................................................................$301.15
Pending Expenses/Fees .............................................................................$1.238.25
$90,564.97
7. If the Mortgage is reinstated prior to a Sheriff s Sale, the Attorney's Fees 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 is entitled to collect Attorney's fees of up
to 5% of the remaining principal balance in the event the Property is sold to a third party purchaser at
Sheriff's Sale or if the complexity of the action requires additional fees in excess of the amount
demanded in the Action.
8. Plaintiff is not seeking a judgment of personal liability (or an "in personam" judgment) against the
Defendant in this Action but reserves its right to bring a separate Action to establish that right, if such
right exists. If Defendant has received a discharge of their personal liability in a Bankruptcy proceeding,
this Action of Mortgage Foreclosure is, in no way, an attempt to re-establish the personal liability that
was discharged in Bankruptcy, but only to foreclose the Mortgage and sell the Property pursuant to
Pennsylvania law.
9. Notice of Intention to Foreclose has been sent to Defendant by certified mail, as required by Act 6 of
1974 of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on the date(s) set forth in the true and correct copy of such
notice(s) attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands a de terris judgment in mortgage foreclosure in the sum of $90,564.97,
together with interest at the rate of $13.79, per day and other expenses, costs and charges incurred by the
Plaintiff which are properly chargeable in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage and Pennsylvania law
until the Mortgage is paid in full, and for the foreclosure of the Mortgage and Sheriff s Sale of the Property.
