DEFENDANTS' ANSWER TO CIVIL ACTION - LAW
COMPLAINT IN MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE
AND NOW COME, the Defendants, Gerald Golden and Edna Golden, by and through
their counsel, Cunningham & Chernicoff, P.C., and submit their Answer to the Plaintiffs'
Complaint in Mortgage Foreclosure as follows:
L . Admitted upon belief.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted. By way of further reply, this allegation refers to a writing which is the
best evidence concerning the subject of such an averment.
4. Admitted. By way of further reply, this allegation refers to a writing which is the
best evidence concerning the subject of such an averment.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. It is admitted that the Mortgage attached as Exhibit "A" to Plaintiff's Complaint
contemplated full repayment of the debt secured by the Mortgage by December
20, 2007, but denied that the Mortgage is in default.
8. It is admitted that a Mortgage Modification Agreement (the "Modification") was
executed between the parties, extending the time due date of the loan extended to
December 20, 2010.
9. This allegation is a conclusion of law to which no response is required. To the
extent that a response is judicially deemed to be required, it is specifically denied.
By way of further answer, Defendants believe, and therefore aver, that all
payments made to date may not have been properly credited and a strict
accounting thereof is hereby demanded, if relevant, at the time of trial.
Furthermore, Defendants specifically deny the amount set forth for attorney fees
as Plaintiff has not established that such fees are fair and reasonable under the
circumstances. Additionally, it is believed, and therefore averred, that such fees
and costs are not reasonably related to the difficulty or extent of work necessary to
complete the litigation initiated in this matter, and strict proof thereof is
demanded, if relevant, at the time of trial. No instrument awarding attorney's fees
is attached to the Complaint, and without an agreement stating that the Defendants
are to pay attorneys fees, such cannot be awarded to Plaintiff.
10. Admitted.
11. Admitted.
12. Defendants admit that an Agreement to Subordinate the Defendant's mortgage
2
was recorded at the office of the Recorder of Deeds of Cumberland County on
February 6, 2008; the remaining averments of this paragraph are denied and strict
proof thereof is demanded at the time of trial.
13. Admitted.
14. The averments of this paragraph refer to a legal instrument, which itself is the best
evidence of the subject matter thereof. By way of further reply, Defendants admit
that the Subordination Agreement purports to subordinate the mortgage granted by
Defendants to Plaintiffs.
15. After reasonable investigation, Defendants are without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments of this paragraph and the
same are therefore denied. Strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
16. After reasonable investigation, Defendants are without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments of this paragraph and the
same are therefore denied. Strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
17. Defendants deny any implication that Defendants forged any signatures on the
Subordination Agreement. As to the averments that the document was
fraudulently recorded and has no validity or authority to subordinate Plaintiffs'
mortgage, such averments are conclusions of law to which Defendants are advised
by counsel that no response is necessary. If, and to the extent a response is
judicially deemed to be necessary, Defendants deny the same and demand strict
proof to the contrary at trial.
WHEREFORE, Defendants Gerald L. Golden and Edna J. Golden, respectfully request
that this Honorable Court dismiss Plaintiffs Complaint with prejudice and grant Defendants such
further relief as is just and proper.
Respectfully submitted,
