CUMBERLAND COUNTY ATTORNEY REFERRAL CUMBERLAND COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION CUMBERLAND COUNTY COURTHOUSE 2 LIBERTY AVENUE CARLISLE, PA 17013 (717) 249-3166 (800) 990-9108 File #: 272827 1. Plaintiff is 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. File #: 272827 6. The following amounts are due on the mortgage as of 05/13/2011: Principal Balance $38,825.02 Interest $843.00 01/01/2011 through 05/13/2011 Late Charges $63.24 Property Inspections $10.35 TOTAL $39,741.61 7 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.
