BRIAN K. LANDIS
LISA A. LANDIS
7 WEST BEALE AVENUE
ENOLA, PA 17025-2806
who is/are the mortgagor(s) and/or real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described.
3. On 04/21/1995 mortgagor(s) 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 Book No. 1259, Page 1022. 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 10/01/2008 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 #: 200296
6. The following amounts are due on the mortgage:
Principal Balance $78,157.69
Interest $104,210.00
09/01/2008 through 03/19/2009
(Per Diem $521.05)
Attorney's Fees $1,300.00
Cumulative Late Charges $70.90
04/21/1995 to 03/19/2009
Mortgage Insurance Premium / $51.54
Private Mortgage Insurance
Cost of Suit and Title Search 750.00
Subtotal $184,540.13
Escrow
Credit ($291.30)
Deficit $0.00
Subtotal 291.30
TOTAL $184,248.83
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 #: 200296
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 91 of 1983 because the mortgage is FHA-insured.
WHEREFORE, PLAINTIFF demands an in rem Judgment against the Defendant(s) in
the sum of $184,248.83, together with interest from 03/19/2009 at the rate of $521.05 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.

PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REASSESS DAMAGES
Plaintiff, by its Attorneys, Phelan Hallinan & Schmieg, LLP, moves the Court to direct the
Prothonotary to amend the judgment in this matter, and in support thereof avers the following:
Plaintiff commenced this foreclosure action by filing a Complaint on March 23,
2009 claiming $184,248.83. This amount was incorrect due to a typographical error in the interest
figure. A true and correct copy of the complaint is attached hereto, made part hereof, and marked
as Exhibit "A".
2. Judgment was entered on May 5, 2009 in the amount of $208,217.13. This
amount was incorrect since it was based on the figures from the Complaint. A true and correct
copy of the praecipe for judgment is attached hereto, made part hereof, and marked as Exhibit
«B„
3. Pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1037(b)(1), a default judgment
containing a dollar amount must be entered for the amount claimed in the complaint and any item
which can be calculated from the complaint, i.e. bringing the interest current. However, new items
cannot be added at the time of entry of the judgment.
4. The Property is listed for Sheriffs Sale on September 2, 2009.
Additional sums have been incurred or expended on Defendants' behalf since the
Complaint was filed and Defendants have been given credit for any payments that have been made
since the judgment. The amount of damages should now read as follows:
Principal Balance $78,157.69
Interest Through September 2, 2009 $6,289.69
Per Diem $17.13
Late Charges $106.31
Legal fees $1,300.00
Cost of Suit and Title $991.50
Sheriffs Sale Costs $0.00
Property Inspections/ Property Preservation $60.00
Appraisal/Brokers Price Opinion $0.00
Mortgage Insurance Premium / $74.97
Private Mortgage Insurance
Non Sufficient Funds Charge $0.00
Suspense/Misc. Credits ($0.00)
Escrow Deficit $601.71
TOTAL
$87,581.87
6. The judgment formerly entered is insufficient to satisfy the amounts due on the
Mortgage.
7. Under the terms of the Mortgage and Pennsylvania law, Plaintiff is entitled to
inclusion of the figures set forth above in the amount of judgment against the Defendants.
8. Plaintiff's foreclosure judgment is in rem only and does not include personal
liability, as addressed in Plaintiff's attached brief.
9. In accordance with Cumberland County Local Rule 208.3(9), Plaintiff sent a copy of its
proposed Motion to Reassess Damages and Order to the Defendant on May 29, 2009 and requested
the Defendants' Concurrence. Plaintiff did not receive any response from the Defendants. A true
and correct copy of Plaintiff's letter pursuant to Local Rule 208.3(9) and certification of mailing are
attached hereto, made part hereof, and marked as Exhibit "C".
10. No judge has previously entered a ruling in this case.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court amend the
judgment as requested.

No. 2009-1791
BRIAN K. LANDIS
LISA A. LANDIS
Defendants
MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REASSESS DAMAGES
1. BACKGROUND OF CASE
BRIAN K. LANDIS and LISA A. LANDIS 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 7 WEST BEALE AVENUE, ENOLA, PA 17025-2806. 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, Defendants 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 typographical error in the judgment, the judgment must be amended. It is
also appropriate to give Defendants 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. of N.Y. v. Mowl, 705 A.2d 923 (Pa. Super. 1998).
Union National Bank of Pittsburgh v. Ciongoli, 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).
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
accurately reflect the sums due on the Mortgage due to the typographical error. The Mortgage
plainly requires the mortgagors to tender to the mortgagee monthly payments of principal and
interest until the Promissory Note accompanying the Mortgage is paid in full. The mortgagors are
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
mortgagors have 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 Defendants 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.
VI. 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.

-BRIAN K. LANDIS
LISA A. LANDIS
7 WEST BEALE AVENUE
ENOLA, PA 17025-2806
who is/are the mortgagor(s) and/or real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described.
3. On 04/21/1995 mortgagor(s) 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 Book No. 1259, Page 1022. 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(8); 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 10/01/2008 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 #: 200296
6. The following amounts are due on the mortgage:
Principal Balance $78,157.69
Interest $104,210.00
09/01/2008 through 03/19/2009
(Per Diem $521.05)
Attorney's Fees $1,300.00

Private Mortgage Insurance
Cost of Suit and Title Search 750.00
Subtotal $184,540.13
Escrow
Credit ($291.30)
Deficit $0.00
Subtotal 291.30
TOTAL $184,248.83
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.
8. 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 #: 2002%
9. Notice of Intention to Foreclose as set forth in Act b 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 91 of 1983 because the mortgage is FHA-insured.
WHEREFORE, PLAINTIFF demands an in rem Judgment against the Defendant(s) in
the sum of $184,248.83, together with interest from 03/19/2009 at the rate of $521.05 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.
