File#: 818264
1. Plaintiff is
CITIMORTGAGE, INC.
1000 TECHNOLOGY DRIVE
O'FALLON, MO 63368
2. The name(s) and last known address(es) of the Defendant(s) are:
JOELLE R. GROSS A/K/A JOELLE R.MIXELL
JOHN R.MIXELL,JR
1870 LAMBS GAP ROAD
MECHANICSBURG, PA 17050-1615
who is/are the mortgagor(s) and/or real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described.
3. On 11/30/2001 JOELLE R. GROSS and JOHN R. MIXELL, JR made, executed and
delivered a mortgage upon the premises hereinafter described to MORTGAGE
ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. AS NOMINEE FOR IRWIN
MORTGAGE CORPORATION DBA IFC MORTGAGE CORPORATION, which
mortgage is recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of CUMBERLAND County,
in Mortgage Book 1741, Page 2590. By Assignment of Mortgage recorded 04/15/2013
the mortgage was assigned to PLAINTIFF, which Assignment is recorded in Assignment
of Mortgage Instrument No. 201311900.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 10/01/2012 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
File#: 818264

7. 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

premises pursuant to Pennsylvania Law.

Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program pursuant to Act 91 of 1983, as amended in
2008, 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#: 818264
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands an in rem judgment against the Defendant(s)in the sum of
$69,616.47, together with interest, costs, fees, and charges collectible under the mortgage
