2. The name(s) and last known address(es) of the Defendant(s) are:
JENNIFER L. OSBORN
506 WEST CUMBERLAND ROAD
ENOLA, PA 17025-2513
who is/are the mortgagor(s) and/or real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described.
3. On 04/30/2004 JENNIFER L. OSBORN made, executed and delivered a mortgage upon
the premises hereinafter described to MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION
SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED AS A NOMINEE FOR PRIMARY RESIDENTIAL
MORTGAGE, INC. which mortgage is recorded in the Office of the Recorder of
CUMBERLAND County, in Mortgage Book No. 1864, Page 1542. The PLAINTIFF is
now the mortgagee 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.
5. The mortgage is in default because monthly payments of principal and interest upon said
mortgage due 09/01/2010 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 $82,952.43
Interest $1,555.35
08/01/2010 through 01 /01 /2011
Late Charges through 0l /01 /2011 $67.24
Mortgage Insurance Premium / $66.14

Escrow Deficit $710.53
TOTAL $85,351.69

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.
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.
This action does not come under Act 91 of 1983 because the mortgage is FHA-insured.
File #: 260481
.y
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands an in rem judgment against the Defendant(s) in the sum of
$85,351.69, together with interest from 01/01/2011 at the rate of $10.227 per diem to the date of
judgment, and other costs, fees, and charges collectible under the mortgage, including but not
limited to attorney fees and costs, and for the foreclosure and sale of the mortgaged property.

To prevent this Sheriff's Sale, you must take immediate action:
1. The sale will be canceled if you pay to the mortgagee the back payments, late charges, costs and
reasonable attorney's fees due. To find out how much you must pay, you may call: 215-563-7000 x1230.
2. You may be able to stop the sale by filing a petition asking the Court to strike or open the judgment,
if the judgment was improperly entered. You may also ask the Court to postpone the sale for good cause.
3. You may also be able to stop the sale through other legal proceedings.
You may need an attorney to assert your rights. The sooner you contact one, the more chance you will
have of stopping the sale. (See notice on page two on how to obtain an attorney.)

EVEN IF THE SHERIFF'S SALE DOES TAKE PLACE
1. If the Sheriff's Sale is not stopped, your property will be sold to the highest bidder. You may find out the

2. You may be able to petition the Court to set aside the sale if the bid price was grossly inadequate compared

3. The sale will go through only if the buyer pays the Sheriff the full amount due in the sale. To find out if this
has happened, you may call 215-563-7000.
4. If the amount due from the Buyer is not paid to the Sheriff, you will remain the owner of the property as if
the sale never happened.
5. You have the right to remain in the property until the full amount due is paid to the Sheriff and the Sheriff
gives a deed to the buyer. At that time, the buyer may bring legal proceedings to evict you.
6. You may be entitled to a share of the money which was paid for your house. A proposed schedule of
distribution of the money bid for your house will be prepared by the Sheriff not later than thirty (30) days after
the sale. The schedule shall be kept on file with the sheriff and will be made available for inspection in his
office. This schedule will state who will be receiving that money. The money will be paid out in accordance
with this schedule unless exceptions (reasons why the proposed distribution is wrong) are filed with the Sheriff
within ten (10) days after the filing of the proposed schedule.
7. You may also have other rights and defenses, or ways of getting your home back, if you act immediately
after the sale.

JENNIFER L. OSBORN ~

Defendant :
MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REASSESS DAMAGES
I' I. BACKGROUND OF CASE
JENNIFER L. OSBORN 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. Plaintiff s Note was secured by a Mortgage on the Property located at
507 SECOND STREET, ENOLA, PA 17025-3117. 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.
260481
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 Sheriff s 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 Peiuisylvania 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
260481
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 Realitv
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
and interest until the Promissory Note accompanying the Mortgage is paid in fu1L 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 financiallosses on this loan.
260481
III. THE FORECLOSURE NDGMENT IS IN REM ONLY
The within case is a mortgage foreclosure action, the sole purpose of which is to take the
mortgaged property to Sheriff s 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.RC.P. 1147(6). The purpose of the dollar amount in the in rem judgment is for
bidding at the Sheriff s Sale. In the event that a third party real estate speculator were to bid on the
mortgaged property at the Sheriff s 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
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,
Plaintiff s interest very well may be divested, and Plaintiff would sustain a complete loss on the
260481
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 RealtX, 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.
260481
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.RC.P.3129.1 I
i 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 incuned.
The mortgage and Pennsylvania law permit Plaintiff to recover these sums through its
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. PROPERTY INSPECTIONS AND PRESERVATION
The terms of the mortgage provide for property inspections and property preservation
charges. The lender or its agent may make reasonable inspections of the property pursuant to the
260481
terms of the mortgage. When a borrower defaults under the terms of the mortgage, the lender
may do, or pay for, whatever is reasonable to protect its interest in the collateral, including
property maintenance. Any amounts disbursed by the lender for property inspections and
preservation become additional debt of the borrower secured by the mortgage. The lender may
charge the borrower for services performed in connection with the default, for the purpose of protecting the lender's interest in the property, including property inspections and valuation
costs.
When a loan is in default, the lender's risk increases. Mortgage companies typically have
a vendor visit the premises to determine if any windows need to be boarded up, if the property is
vacant, if the grass needs to be cut, or the snow shoveled. If the property inspection reveals any
problems at the mortgaged premises, then the mortgage company may proceed to take whatever
steps are necessary to secure the collateral, such as boarding windows, winterizing, removing
hazards or debris, etc. The mortgage company generally pays a vendor to handle these tasks,
which are referred to in the industry as "property preservation". These services avoid code
violations and avoid the property becoming an eyesore in the neighborhood. Property
preservation helps maintain property values in the neighborhood.
Accordingly, line items included in Motions to Reassess Damages for property
inspections and property preservation represent amounts which the mortgage company has paid
out of its pocket to preserve its collateral, consistent with the terms of the mortgage contract.
Since the terms of the mortgage provide that such expenses by the mortgage company become
part of the borrower's debt secured by the mortgage, those expenses are properly included in the
Plaintiff's Motion to Reassess Damages.
260481
IX. 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.

v.
CUMBERLAND County
JENNIFER L. OSBORN
No.: 11-2784-CIVIL-TERM
•
Defendant
MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REASSESS DAMAGES
L BACKGROUND OF CASE
JENNIFER L. OSBORN 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
1507 SECOND STREET, ENOLA, PA 17025. 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
754314
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
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,
754314
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
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).
754314
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
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 Sheriffs 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.
754314
VI. ATTORNEY'S FEES
The Plaintiffs foreclosure fees are very modest. They cover all of the legal work done
throughout the course of the foreclosure action to date, including reviewing the Act 6 or Act 91
letters, loan documents, account records, title reports and supporting documents, preparing and
reviewing the mortgage foreclosure complaint, filing and service of the complaint, Rule 237.1
Notice, Department of Defense search, entry of judgment, the writ of execution process, lien
holder notices, and all of the other legal work that goes into handling the mortgage foreclosure
lawsuit.
The Mortgage specifically provides for Plaintiffs recovery of its attorney 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). 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). Plaintiffs legal fees are not a percentage but are
significantly less than what is permitted by Pennsylvania law.
754314
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
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.
754314
VIII. PROPERTY INSPECTIONS AND PRESERVATION
The terms of the mortgage provide for property inspections and property preservation
charges. The lender or its agent may make reasonable inspections of the property pursuant to the
terms of the mortgage. When a borrower defaults under the terms of the mortgage, the lender
may do, or pay for, whatever is reasonable to protect its interest in the collateral, including
property maintenance. Any amounts disbursed by the lender for property inspections and
preservation become additional debt of the borrower secured by the mortgage. The lender may
charge the borrower for services performed in connection with the default, for the purpose of
protecting the lender's interest in the property, including property inspections and valuation
costs.
When a loan is in default, the lender's risk increases. Mortgage companies typically have
a vendor visit the premises to determine if any windows need to be boarded up, if the property is
vacant, if the grass needs to be cut, or the snow shoveled. If the property inspection reveals any
problems at the mortgaged premises, then the mortgage company may proceed to take whatever
steps are necessary to secure the collateral, such as boarding windows, winterizing, removing
hazards or debris, etc. The mortgage company generally pays a vendor to handle these tasks,
which are referred to in the industry as "property preservation". These services avoid code
violations and avoid the property becoming an eyesore in the neighborhood. Property
preservation helps maintain property values in the neighborhood.
Accordingly, line items included in Motions to Reassess Damages for property
inspections and property preservation represent amounts which the mortgage company has paid
out of its pocket to preserve its collateral, consistent with the terms of the mortgage contract.
754314
Since the terms of the mortgage provide that such expenses by the mortgage company become
part of the borrower's debt secured by the mortgage, those expenses are properly included in the
Plaintiff's Motion to Reassess Damages.
IX. 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

CUMBERLAND County
•
JENNIFER L. OSBORN
No.: 11-2784-CIVIL-TERM
Defendant
MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REASSESS DAMAGES
I. BACKGROUND OF CASE
JENNIFER L. OSBORN 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
1507 SECOND STREET, ENOLA, PA 17025. 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
754314
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.
IL 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. Bums,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,
754314
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
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).
754314
I
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
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 Sheriffs 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.
754314
I
VI. ATTORNEY'S FEES
The Plaintiffs foreclosure fees are very modest. They cover all of the legal work done
throughout the course of the foreclosure action to date, including reviewing the Act 6 or Act 91
letters, loan documents, account records,title reports and supporting documents, preparing and
reviewing the mortgage foreclosure complaint,filing and service of the complaint, Rule 237.1
Notice, Department of Defense search, entry of judgment, the writ of execution process, lien
holder notices, and all of the other legal work that goes into handling the mortgage foreclosure
lawsuit.
The Mortgage specifically provides for Plaintiff's recovery of its attorney 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). 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). Plaintiff's legal fees are not a percentage but are
significantly less than what is permitted by Pennsylvania law.
754314
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
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.
754314
VIII. PROPERTY INSPECTIONS AND PRESERVATION
The terms of the mortgage provide for property inspections and property preservation
charges. The lender or its agent may make reasonable inspections of the property pursuant to the
terms of the mortgage. When a borrower defaults under the terms of the mortgage,the lender
may do, or pay for,whatever is reasonable to protect its interest in the collateral, including
property maintenance. Any amounts disbursed by the lender for property inspections and
preservation become additional debt of the borrower secured by the mortgage. The lender may
charge the borrower for services performed in connection with the default, for the purpose of
protecting the lender's interest in the property, including property inspections and valuation
costs.
When a loan is in default,the lender's risk increases. Mortgage companies typically have
a vendor visit the premises to determine if any windows need to be boarded up, if the property is
vacant, if the grass needs to be cut,or the snow shoveled. If the property inspection reveals any
problems at the mortgaged premises,then the mortgage company may proceed to take whatever
steps are necessary to secure the collateral, such as boarding windows,winterizing,removing
hazards or debris, etc. The mortgage company generally pays a vendor to handle these tasks,
which are referred to in the industry as"property preservation". These services avoid code
violations and avoid the property becoming an eyesore in the neighborhood. Property
preservation helps maintain property values in the neighborhood.
Accordingly, line items included in Motions to Reassess Damages for property
inspections and property preservation represent amounts which the mortgage company has paid
out of its pocket to preserve its collateral, consistent with the terms of the mortgage contract.
754314
Since the terms of the mortgage provide that such expenses by the mortgage company become
part of the borrower's debt secured by the mortgage, those expenses are properly included in the
Plaintiff's Motion to Reassess Damages.
IX. 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.
