On 7/31/95 mortgagor(s) made, executed and delivered a mortgage upon the premises
hereinafter described to BROADVIEW MORTGAGE COMPANY which mortgage is
recorded in the Office of the Recorder of CUMBERLAND County, in Mortgage Book

assigned to PLAINTIFF which Assignment is recorded in Assignment of Mortgage Book
No. 682, Page 2162.
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 9/1/01 and each month thereafter are due and unpaid, and by the terms of
said mortgage, upon default in such payments for a period of one month, the entire
principal balance and all interest due thereon are collectible forthwith.
The following amounts are due on the mortgage:

Pennsylvania Law, and will be collected in the event of a third party purchaser at

will be charged.
This action does not come under Act 6 of 1974 because the original mortgage amount
exceeds $50,000.00.
WHEREFORE, PLAINTIFF demands an in rem Judgment against the Defendant(s) in the sum of
$60,000.86, together with interest from 1/1/02 at the rate of $13.15 per diem to the date of
