2. The name(s) and last known address(es) of the Defendant(s) are:
DONNA L. HOTHAM
2 NORTH LOCUST STREET UNIT B AKA
6 NORTH LOCUST STREET
SHIREMANSTOWN, PA 17011-6376
who is/are the mortgagor(s) and/or real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described.
3. On 08/25/2006 mortgagor(s) made, executed and delivered a mortgage upon the premises
hereinafter described to MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS,
INCORPORATED AS A NOMINEE FOR FIRST HORIZON HOME LOAN
CORPORATION which mortgage is recorded in the Office of the Recorder of
CUMBERLAND County, in Mortgage Book No. 1963, Page 4474. 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.
File #: 212788
5.
6.
7
The mortgage is in default because monthly payments of principal and interest upon said
mortgage due 04/01/2009 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.
The following amounts are due on the mortgage:
Principal Balance $110,702.39
Interest $3,318.98
03/01/2009 through 08/04/2009
(Per Diem $21.14)
Attorney's Fees $1,300.00
Cumulative Late Charges $149.64
08/25/2006 to 08/04/2009
Mortgage Insurance Premium / $30.00
Private Mortgage Insurance
Cost of Suit and Title Search 750.00
Subtotal $116,251.01
Escrow
Credit ($197.15)
Deficit $0.00
Subtotal 197.15
TOTAL $116,053.86
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.
File #: 212788
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.
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.
File #: 212788
WHEREFORE, PLAINTIFF demands an in rem Judgment against the Defendant(s) in the sum
of $116,053.86, together with interest from 08/04/2009 at the rate of $21.14 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.

Plaintiff
Court of Common Pleas
Civil Division
V.
CUMBERLAND County
DONNA HOTHAM No.: CIVIL-09-5500
Defendant
MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REASSESS DAMAGES
212788
I. BACKGROUND OF CASE
DONNA HOTHAM 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 2
NORTH LOCUST STREET UNIT B AKA, 6 NORTH LOCUST ST, SHIREMANSTOWN, PA
17011-6376. The Mortgage indicates that in the event of 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
212788
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). 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
212788
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
212788
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
212788
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. COST OF SUIT AND TITLE
Pursuant to the terms of the mortgage, Plaintiff is entitled to recover all expenses incurred in
the foreclosure action. The amount claimed for the costs of suit and title are the expenses Plaintiff
paid to date as a result of the mortgage default.
The title report is necessary to determine the record owners of the property, as Pa.R.C.P.
1144 requires all record owners to be named as Defendants in the foreclosure action. It is also
necessary to determine whether there are any prior liens to be cleared, so that the Sheriff's sale
purchaser acquires clear title to the property. It is necessary to determine if there are IRS liens
on the property, whether the Defendants are divorced (which could affect service of the
complaint), and numerous other legal issues. The title bringdown is necessary to identify any
new liens on the property or new owners between the time of filing and complaint and the writ
date.
The Freedom of Information Act inquiries and the investigation into Defendants'
whereabouts are necessary to effectively attempt personal service of the complaint and notice of
sale on the Defendant. The notice of sale and Rule 3129 notice are required by Pa.R.C.P.3129.1
and 3129.2 to notify all lienholders, owners, and interested persons of the Sheriff s sale date, as
their interests will be divested by the Sheriff s sale.
Accordingly, the modest sums Plaintiff has incurred for the costs of suit and title were
necessary pursuant to Pennsylvania law. The amounts were reasonable and actually incurred.
The mortgage and Pennsylvania law permit Plaintiff to recover these sums through its
212788
foreclosure action. As the foreclosure action is in rem only, Plaintiff recovers its judgment from
the sale of the property, not out of the Defendant's pockets. Plaintiff should recover the costs of
suit and title in their entirety, which will not cause harm to the Defendants.
VIII. 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.
212788
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court amend the
judgment as requested.
