HAND DELIVERED TO COURTHOUSE
SENT VIA US MAIL TO PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY
Your Honor,
Please note that this is being prepared without the assistance of an attorney. I apologize
if the format in which I am responding to the Civil Action - Ejectment is incorrect in any
way. Please allow me to present some information to the court which I believe will
compel the court to rescind the sale of my home through foreclosure action/sheriff's sale.
I have lived at 480 Sample Bridge Road since approximately March of 1999. On January
7, 2009, my residence was sold through Sheriff's sale and was purchased back by the
mortgage company to whom I paid my mortgage payments, at a price of approximately
$1,100.
The original Sheriff's Sale date was scheduled for September of 2008. Prior to
September of 2008, I was working with the Plaintiff's Loan Modification Department to
work out a loan modification to avoid the impending foreclosure action. This put off the
date of the Sheriff's sale first to December, and then to January of 2009.
Unfortunately, although the proper information had been sent to the Plaintiff, the loan
modification was rejected and I received a letter from the Plaintiff informing me that it
had been rejected due to my income being "less than the monthly mortgagle payment".
This was incorrect and did not correspond to the financial information that I had provided
to the Plaintiff. I telephoned the Plaintiff's Loan Modification Department, who was able
to pull up my financial information and confirm that they had in fact received the correct
financial information, but that an error had occurred that had caused the rejection. I was
told that although it was rejected in error, because it is already closed, I would have to
begin the entire process of the Loan Modification once again.
Although discouraged and upset, I did once again submit all updated financials to the
Plaintiff's Loan Modification Department. Please note that this information had to be
faxed and sent repeatedly because it was misrouted/misplaced many, many times on their
end. I do have phone records of the long distance fax to show the many times that I
submitted the same paperwork again and again.
Some time went by and I did not hear anything from the Plaintiff or Plaintiff's Attorney,
but I did receive a letter in the mail from Plaintiff informing me that because there was
serious talk of impending legislation, my foreclosure and loan modification were in a
holding pattern, awaiting to see what the legislation may bring that would benefit my
situation regarding the foreclosure and/or loan modification. I was told that I did qualify
for a possible resolution based upon the information provided.
Because the impending legislation did not assist homeowners, the loan modification
process and foreclosure process did continue. Close to Christmas, approximately
December 26th, I spoke directly by phone to the Loan Modification Department of the
Plaintiff, who informed me that on approximately December 17, 2008, the negotiator for
the Plaintiff was in talks with the lender who would be assisting with the loan
modification. Because no legislation had been passed, I was told that the lender "would
not budge" on my 7.75% interest rate at all, and that the best compromise he would offer
was an increase of approximately $500 per month on my mortgage payment each months,
AND they would also need a lump sump payment of (I believe) $17,000.00.
Please note that this was never presented to me after the negotiations between the lender
and the negotiator until I had called to find out the status. I was told at that time that the
loan modification process was again closed due to the above outcome of the negotiations.
I did not, and still do not understand why the offer was not presented to me because I
would have agreed to the terms in order to save my home (I have three children also
living in the home). The gentleman I spoke with told me he was unsure why that offer
was not conveyed to me, and he suggested that I again resubmit my information to see if
some of the new legislation still coming through may make a difference in the outcome
of negotiations.
THE FOLLOWING IS THE SUMMARIZATION OF EVENTS WHICH I FEEL THE
PLAINTIFF AND PLAINTIFF'S ATTORNEY MISREPRESENTED THE FACTS TO
ME, POSSIBLY PERPETRATING FRAUD WHICH ENDED IN MY HOME BEING
SOLD TO FORECLOSURE. I provided the above facts to the Court to show a history of
constant communication on my part with the Plaintiff's Loan Modification Department.
The Plaintiff had already conveyed that because my financial situation that precluded the
foreclosure action was a temporary situation, and one in which I could bounce back to
making my payments each month and remain in my home.
In December of 2008, I received notice from Plaintiff that there was a Sheriff's Sale
scheduled for my property on January 9th, 2009. Several days later, I received another
notice from the Plaintiff that the Sheriff's sale would be held on January 7th, 2009.
When I spoke to the Loan Modification Department of Plaintiff s company at
Christmastime, I quickly resubmitted my paperwork, and the gentleman who provided
the guidance on faxing my information once again confirmed with me that the sale was
scheduled for January 9th, but that we had "plenty" of time to resubmit a Loan
Modification, or to discuss possible "short sale", or "deed in lieu of foreclosure". He
explained what each of those meant, but informed me that I could not consider either the
"short sale" or the "deed in lieu of foreclosure" at the same time that I am in the Loan
Modification process. Believing that I definitely would qualify for a loan modification -
even if it meant accepting the offer that came out of the last negotiation, in order to
remain in my home.
My documents were again faxed to the Loan Modification Department. I also spoke to
them to confirm the receipt of the documents. They were received, and they asked me to
provide a few additional documents, which I was able to do. I was told that if they were
in the midst of negotiating the modification, the sale would be again continued to the next
sheriff sale date. I spoke to Loan Modification on January 5th and January 6th, awaiting a
decision or at least confirmation that the sale had been postponed. Each time I spoke to
anyone from Loan Modification, I would again question them because I had received two
notices - one stating the date of sale was January 7th, and one that said the date was set
for the 9th. I CONFIRMED THE DATE TO BE THE 9TH BY PLAINTIFF'S
REPRESENTATIVES IN THE LOAN MODIFICATION DEPARTMENT, AS WELL
AS FROM THE PLAINTIFF'S ATTORNEY. The record stated it was definitely
scheduled for JANUARY 9, 2009.
I anxiously waited word from the Loan Modification Department. They kept telling me
that we still had several days to have it continued, whether it be through a successfully
completed Loan Modification, or an alternative route such as the Short Sale or Deed in
Lieu of Foreclosure. I had also spoken to my personal attorney who offered Bankruptcy
as a resolution in this matter also if it came down to that -- and I was informed that
Pennsylvania laws provided me that option up to ONE HOUR PRIOR TO THE
SCHEDULED SALE.
On the morning of January 7, 2009,1 called my local courthouse at 9:00 AM just to be
certain that my home was not in fact on the docket for that day. To my horror, I was told
by the Sheriff's office that yes indeed, my home was going up for sale at 10:00 AM. I
IMMEDIATELY called my mortgage company (Plaintiff) and was told that the court
house was WRONG and that there was no sale scheduled. Not satisfied with that answer,
I asked if there was someone else I could speak to so that I could let them know what was
going on. I was told that I needed to contact the Plaintiff's Attorney's office because
they were handling the matter. They also acknowledged that the Loan Modification was
still underway and that we still had several days.
The Plaintiff's Attorney's office looked up the foreclosure information for my property
and I was assured that the sale was not scheduled for January 7th. I told them that I had
spoken to the Cumberland County Court House and they again repeated that the home
was not up for sale. I asked "What should I do? The court house thinks they are
supposed to sell it?" I was told that, "Ma'am, you need to do nothing. You were told
by the mortgage company that your home is not being sold today. You were told by us
that the mortgage company's attorney is not selling your home today. We would have to
have someone there in order for the sale to occur, and we do not."
I called back to the court house and told them what I had been told. The woman told me
that she had received nothing in writing from the mortgage company or their attorney,
and without something in writing, the sale would proceed.
I FRANTICALLY called back to the attorney's office and the mortgage company. They
kept repeating to me that the date was NOT January 7th, and they became upset with me
because I would not accept the fact that the court house was still telling me'they were
selling my home. I had no way of ever knowing that the sale was going to occur because
the only information available was through the mortgage company and/or their attorney
and both were assuring me that the sale was not going to happen.
THE SALE HAPPENED. My home was sold back to my mortgage company on the
morning of January 7, 2009 at 10:00 AM. It was sold for the amount of $1,100.
I was DEVASTATED. I found out that it had happened by the Plaintiff's Attorney's
office because I called them at about 10:30 AM, still trying to work out a Loan
Modification before January 9th, 2009, when the gentleman told me that the home did
indeed sell.
After several hours, when I had collected myself enough to be able to speak, I contacted
Plaintiff's Attorney to find out what had happened, how it had happened, and what they
were going to do about it. I spoke to Phil Graham, Esquire. He told me that he went
through the computer system and he had located where the error had occurred and he
called it a "Clerical Error" on their part. Apparently the incorrect date of January 9th had
initially been given, but then changed to the January 7th. However, the information HAD
NEVER BEEN UPDATED IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM and that was why no one
was able to see the corrected date of sale. No one would have been able to confirm the
earlier sale date - not the mortgage company, not the plaintiff s attorney, not the
Cumberland County Courthouse because they had it wrong in their system, they provided
the wrong date to me, and they themselves were working with the date of January 9th
also.
I was further told by Attorney Graham that it was a fluke that they had their "bidding
team" present at Cumberland County Court House for another home that was selling for
another client mortgage company and when they saw my property come up unexpectedly,
they just went ahead and bid on it. He stated that they were also confused and did not
expect it to come up for sale that day.
Attorney Graham, representative of Plaintiff's Attorney, told me that it is quite simple to
rescind the sale, especially because the home did not go to a third party. He said that
because of the error, he felt that is what would occur and that he personally would make a
phone call to his point of contact at the mortgage company and then get back to me.
I waited several days for a follow-up from Attorney Graham, however, he did not call
back. I called him and left him at least ten phone messages. I finally was able to reach
someone who worked directly with Phil, and he informed me that he could pull up the
notes that Phil had made, and that he could see that Phil was still awaiting a return call
from his point of contact at the mortgage company. He said he would talk to Phil and
call me back. In the meantime, I spoke with the mortgage company directly, who
informed me that according to the notes on the computer, it was decided that they were
"going to let the sale stand". I called Phil's office again and they confirmed this and told
me that I needed to get an attorney if I wanted to change the outcome of this horrible
event.
Your Honor, not only was my loan modification process stopped abruptly due to the sale
of the property, I was lied to regarding the date. I don't know or pretend to accuse the
mortgage company of doing this on purpose - but they now own my home and are
forcing me out without discussing any loan modifications which they even told me I
qualify for. They took away 48 hours of rights on my part to file a motion for
bankruptcy, short sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or any other legal procedures which
could have saved my home.
I was told the date was incorrect, that the court house was wrong, and that I needed to
"take no further action" to ensure that the home would not be sold on January 7th. The
Plaintiff's attorneys office, as well as the Plaintiff agreed in their records that they did in
fact error on the date, and that there was no way for anyone to know that the date was
actually January 7`h. Yet they will not discuss rescinding the sale.
My rights were violated. I lost my home that I have paid in for over 8 years at over
$4,000 per month. I am just supposed to walk away from nearly $500,000 I have already
paid in on this home and they now own it for just $1100?
Please, Your Honor, uphold my rights and rescind this sale. I feel that this company
possibly perpetrated fraud and I would like to be reimbursed in some way, and I would
like my home back.
Thank you for your consideration. I am able to produce back-up material and evidence of
all of the above.
Si erely,
Sally J. H e

PLAINTIFF'S REPLY TO DEFENDANTS' OBJECTIONS TO
CIVIL ACTION-EJECTMENT
Plaintiff, New York Community Bank, s/b/m to Roslyn National Mortgage Corporation, by its
attorney, Joseph P. Schalk, Esquire, hereby files the within Reply to Objections of Defendants, Jerry S.
Harper and Sally J. Harper, and in support thereof, states as follows:
Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Denied as stated. Plaintiff's Complaint in Ejectment was served upon the Defendant, Sally J.
Harper by the Cumberland County Sheriff on March 9, 2009. Plaintiff's Complaint in Ejectment is based
upon the fact that Plaintiff is the owner of the property located at 480 Sample Bridge Road, Enola, PA
17025 by virtue of completed Sheriff s Sale conducted on January 7, 2009. Strict proof to the contrary is
demanded. A copy of the Sheriffs Deed transferring title of the property to the Plaintiff is attached hereto,
incorporated herein and marked as Exhibit "A".
4. Denied as stated. Plaintiff objects to the format of Defendant's Answer to Civil Action in
Ejectment. However, in order to properly reply to the letter to attached to the Defendant's Objection to Civil
Action in Ejectment, Plaintiff replies as follows
On February 9, 2007, Plaintiff filed a Complaint in Mortgage Foreclosure against the Defendants
Jerry S. Harper and Sally J. Harper. A copy of the Complaint is attached hereto, incorporated herein and
marked as Exhibit "B". Defendant, Sally J. Harper, was served with a copy of the Complaint at the
mortgaged premises on March 9, 2007. With respect to Defendant, Jerry S. Harper, Plaintiff filed a Motion
for Special Service on or about May 21, 2007, which was granted by the Court on May 30, 2007. The Order
granting the Motion for Special Service provided that the Plaintiff could effectuate service of the Complaint
by posting the mortgaged premises, publication of the Complaint, and mailing the Complaint by certified
and regular mail to the addresses Plaintiff had located for Defendant, Jerry S. Harper. A copy of the Service
return is attached hereto, incorporated herein and marked as Exhibit "C". On July 24, 2007, Plaintiff issued
to the Defendants a 10-day Notice of Intent to take a Default Judgment by first class mail. Copies of the 10-
Day Letters are attached hereto, incorporated herein and marked as Exhibit "D". On August 24, 2007,
Plaintiff filed A Praecipe for Default Judgment against the Defendants, which was entered in the amount of
$605,305.92. A copy of the Praecipe for Default Judgment is attached hereto, incorporated herein and
marked as Exhibit "B".
Subsequent to the entry of default judgment, Plaintiff filed a Writ of Execution with the
Prothonotary of Cumberland County and scheduled the Property for Sheriff Sale on December 5, 2007.
Prior to the December 5, 2007 Sheriff Sale, Plaintiff and Defendant, Sally J. Harper, reached terms on a
forbearance agreement, which afforded the Defendant the opportunity to save the home from foreclose.
Therefore pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 3129.3(b), Plaintiff postponed the Sheriff Sale to February 6, 2008. Prior
to the scheduled Sheriff s Sale on February 6, 2008, Plaintiff notified its counsel that is had presented the
Defendant with an offer for a loan modification and requested that the Sheriff's Sale be stayed. Accordingly,
Plaintiff's counsel provided the Sheriff with a letter requesting that the Sheriff's Sale set for February 6,
2008 be stayed. Subsequently, the loan modification negotiations between the Plaintiff and the Defendant
fell apart as Defendant indicated that she was unable to make payments under the terms of the proposed loan
modification.
On May 27, 2008, Plaintiff proceeded to file a second Writ of Execution with the Prothonotary of
Cumberland County and scheduled the mortgaged premises for Sheriff's Sale on September 2, 2008. On
July 8, 2008, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Reassess Damages in the foreclosure action in order to recover
addition interest incurred attorney fees and costs associated with the foreclosure action. On August 12,
2008, this Honorable Court entered an Order granting Plaintiff s Motion for Reassessments of Damages in
the amount of $650,730.07. Prior to the scheduled September 3, 2008 Sheriff's Sale, Plaintiff's counsel
received a request from Plaintiff to postpone the Sheriff's sale to October 1, 2008 pursuant to Pa.R.C.P.
3129.3(b). Accordingly, Plaintiff's counsel postponed the Sheriff sale as requested. Again, prior to the
October 1, 2008 Plaintiff requested that the sale be postponed to Pa.R.C.P. 3129.3(b) to November 5, 2008
at 10:00 a.m. Plaintiff requested these postponements of the Sheriff Sale in order to continue negotiations
with the Defendant on possible loss mitigation options.
Prior to the November 5, 2008 Sheriff sale, Plaintiff filed a Motion seeking postponement of the
November 5, 2008 Sheriff Sale by Court Order pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 31293(a). On November 4, 2008 the
Court granted Plaintiff s request for a further postponement of the Sheriff sale by Court Order. A copy of
the Court Order is attached hereto, incorporated herein and marked as Exhibit T'. The Order entered on
November 4, 2008 indicated that the sale would be continued to the regularly scheduled Sheriff sale on
January 9, 2009. Subsequently on November 5, 2008, the Honorable Edward E. Guido entered an Amended
Order of the Court directing that the Sheriff Sale original scheduled for November 5, 2008 be continued to
the regular scheduled Sheriff's sale on January 7, 2009 as no sale was actually scheduled for January 9,
2009. A copy of the Amended Order is attached hereto, incorporated herein and marked as Exhibit "G". The
amended Order of Court was served upon the Defendants, Jerry S. Harper and Sally J. Harper, as well as
Plaintiff's counsel. Unable to reach a 'settlement with the Defendants, Plaintiff executed upon its judgment
in Mortgage Foreclosure and exposed the property to Sheriff sale on January 7, 2009. Plaintiff was the
successor bidder at Sheriff sale, where it announced upset price of $677,400.00 was made to the assemble
bidders and no bidder made a bid in excess of Plaintiffs opening bid of taxes and costs in the amount of
$1,200.15.
Plaintiff's counsel acknowledges that it received a call from the Defendant, Sally J. Harper, on
January 7, 2009 regarding the fact that the property when to sale. Defendants received from the Court an
Amended Order clearly stating that the property was scheduled for Sheriff Sale for January 7, 2009 and
cannot now complain that she was unaware of the date of the Sheriff's sale. It is further admitted that on
January 16, 2009, Phil Graham, an employee with Plaintiff's counsel office spoke to the Defendant, Sally J.
Harper regarding the file and the Sheriff's sale. Defendants' representation of the conversation in her letter
attached to the Objection to the Complaint in Ejectment is denied as stated.
As previously stated, Plaintiff s counsel employee, Phil Graham, notified the Defendant that in fact
that an Order was entered on November 4, 2008 postponing the Sheriff's sale until January 9, 2009.
However, subsequently an amended Order was entered on November 5, 2008 clarify that the sale was
postponed to January 7, 2009 the Court served said Order on all parties. Mr. Graham notified the Defendant
that he would review the matter with the Plaintiff and determine if the Plaintiff would be willing to
voluntarily set aside the Sheriff sale in order to continue with loss mitigation negotiations. The statements
made by the Defendant in her letter concerning the extent of their conversation and the nature of the
representation made by Mr. Graham are further denied.
On January 21, 2009, after the review of the matter by the Plaintiff, Plaintiff notified its counsel to
proceed with post sale proceedings and recording of the Deed transferring title to the property. Plaintiff has
determined that the Defendant, Sally J. Harper, who is divorced from the co-Defendant, was unable to
afford the mortgage and/or any workout resolution based on the financial information that has been
provided.
On February 27, 2009, a Sheriff's Deed transferring title of the property was recorded at Instrument
No. 200905635. A copy of the Deed is attached hereto, incorporated herein and marked as Exhibit "A".
Defendant has taken no action in the underlying foreclosure action to set aside the Sheriffs Sale and any
such request at this time would be untimely due the recording of the Deed. Defendant's attempt to have this
Honorable Court set aside the Sheriffs Sale in the Ejectment Action is inappropriate as it is a collateral
attack on the Foreclosure action.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court grant the relief as requested in
Plaintiff's Complaint.
Respectfully submitted,

1. Plaintiff is
NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANK
7495 NEW HORIZON WAY
FREDRICK, MD 21703
2. The name(s) and last known address(es) of the Defendant(s) are:
JERRY S. HARPER
SALLY J. HARPER
480 SAMPLE BRIDGE ROAD
ENOLA, PA 17025
who is/are the mortgagor(s) and/or real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described.
3. On 02/28/2000 mortgagor(s) made, executed, and delivered a mortgage upon the
premises hereinafter described to ROSLYN NATIONAL MORTGAGE
CORPORATION which mortgage is recorded in the Office of the Recorder of
CUMBERLAND County, in Book: 1598, Page: 1018. 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.
The mortgage is in default because monthly payments of principal and interest upon said
mortgage due 10/01/2006 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 #: 148490
6.
The following amounts are due on the mortgage:
Principal Balance $562,268.03
Interest $17,877.96
09/01/2006 through 02/06/2007
(Per Diem $112.44)
Attorney's Fees $1,250.00
Cumulative Late Charges $1,321.69

Credit $0.00
Deficit $0.00

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 personal 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 #: 148490
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 $583,267.68, together with interest from 02/06/2007 at the rate of $112.44 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.
