SOVEREIGN BANK
601 PENN STREET
READING, PA 19601
2. The name(s) and last known address(es) of the Defendant(s) are:
GARY E. MILLER
HELEN L. MILLER
10 NORTH MOUNTAIN STREET
NEWBURG, PA 17240-9232
who is/are the mortgagor(s) and/or real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described.
3. On 04/13/2006 GARY E. MILLER and HELEN L. MILLER 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. 1947, Page 3783. 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 02/01/2011 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.

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.
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 #: 272827
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands an in rem judgment against the Defendant(s) in the sum of
$39,741.61, together with interest, 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.
