Plaintiff
v.
AMBER E. CLOSE
Defendant
ATTORNEY FOR PLAINTIFF
Court of Common Pleas
Civil Division
CUMBERLAND County
No.: 13-4493
MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REASSESS DAMAGES
I. BACKGROUND OF CASE
AMBER E. CLOSE 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
108 LINDEN DRIVE, CAMP HILL, PA 17011-7219. 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
815149
outdated and need to be adjusted to include current interest, real estate taxes, insurance premiums,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,
815149
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).
815149
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.
815149
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). Plaintiffs legal fees are not a percentage but are
significantly less than what is permitted by Pennsylvania law.
815149
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 Sheriffs 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.
815149
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.
Since the terms of the mortgage provide that such expenses by the mortgage company become
815149
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.
