GERALD THOMPSON Defendant PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REASSESS DAMAGES Plaintiff, by its Attorneys, Phelan Hallinan, LLP, moves the Court to direct the Prothonotary to amend the judgment in this matter, and in support thereof avers the following: 1 Plaintiff commenced this foreclosure action by filing a Complaint on October 7 Court of Common Pleas Civil Division CUMBERLAND County No.: 13-5777 CIVIL 2013. 2. Judgment was entered on January 7, 2014 in the amount of $152,040.44. A true and correct copy of the praecipe for judgment is attached hereto, made part hereof, and marked as Exhibit "A". 3. Pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1037(b)(1), a default judgment containing a dollar amount must be entered for the amount claimed in the complaint and any item which can be calculated from the complaint, i.e. bringing the interest current. However, new items cannot be added at the time of entry of the judgment. 4. The Property is listed for Sheriffs Sale on October 1, 2014. 931043 1 5. Additional sums have been incurred or expended on Defendant's behalf since the Complaint was filed and Defendant has been given credit for any payments that have been made since the judgment. The amount of damages should now read as follows: Principal Balance Interest Through October 1, 2014 Late Charges Legal fees Cost of Suit and Title Property Inspections Property Preservation Escrow Deficit Suspense/Misc. Credits $140,102.55 $14,579.46 $ 82.22 $1,300.00 $910.40 $45.00 $710.00 $7,029.34 ($28.00) TOTAL $164,730.97 6. The judgment formerly entered is insufficient to satisfy the amounts due on the Mortgage. 7. Under the terms of the Mortgage and Pennsylvania law, Plaintiff is entitled to inclusion of the figures set forth above in the amount of judgment against the Defendant. 8. Plaintiffs foreclosure judgment is in rem only and does not include personal liability, as addressed in Plaintiffs attached brief. 9. In accordance with Cumberland County Local Rule 208.3(9), Plaintiff sent a copy of its proposed Motion to Reassess Damages and Order to the Defendant on September 25, 2014 and requested the Defendant's Concurrence. Plaintiff did not receive any response from the Defendant. A true and correct copy of Plaintiffs letter pursuant to Local Rule 208.3(9) and certification of mailing are attached hereto, made part hereof, and marked as Exhibit "B". 10. No judge has previously entered a ruling in this case. 931043 2 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court amend the judgment as requested. Phelan Hallinan, LLP DATE: (� cll.' By: Adam H. Davis, Esquire ATTORNEY FOR PLAINTIFF 931043 3 Phelan Hallinan, LLP Adam H. Davis, Esq., Id. No.203034 1617 JFK Boulevard, Suite 1400 One Penn Center Plaza Philadelphia, PA 19103 Adam.Davis@PhelanHallinan.com 215-563-7000 WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. Plaintiff V. GERALD THOMPSON Defendant ATTORNEY FOR PLAINTIFF Court of Common Pleas Civil Division CUMBERLAND County No.: 13-5777 CIVIL MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REASSESS DAMAGES I. BACKGROUND OF CASE GERALD THOMPSON 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 791 BALTIMORE PIKE, GARDNERS, PA 17324-8803. 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 931043 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, 931043 2 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). 931043 3 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. 931043 4 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). Plaintiff's legal fees are not a percentage but are significantly less than what is permitted by Pennsylvania law. 931043 5 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 Sheriffs 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 Sheriffs 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. 931043 6 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 931043 7 part of the borrower's debt secured by the mortgage, those expenses are properly included in the Plaintiffs 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. DATE: /z piye Phelan Hallinan, LLP By: Adam H.
