who is /are the mortgagor(s) and/or real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described.
3. On 05/18/2006 KEITH A. SEARFOSS and DEBORAH A. SEARFOSS made, executed
and delivered a mortgage upon the premises hereinafter described to MORTGAGE
ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. AS NOMINEE FOR QUICKEN
LOANS INC., which mortgage is recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of
CUMBERLAND County, in Mortgage Book 1951, Page 2427. By Assignment of
Mortgage recorded 11/15/2013 the mortgage was assigned to PLAINTIFF, which
Assignment is recorded in Mortgage Instrument No. 201336787.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 09/01/2013 and each month thereafter are due and unpaid, and by the terms

separate Action to establish that right, if such right exists. If Defendant(s) has/have
