Sovereign Bank is now known as Santander Bank,N.A. 5. The premises subject to said mortgage is described as attached. 6. The mortgage is in default because monthly payments of principal and interest upon said mortgage due 04/01/2014 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#: 952218 by written notice sent to Mortgagor, the entire principal balance and all interest due thereon are collectible forthwith. 7.
