1. Plaintiff is
SANTANDER BANK,N.A.
824 NORTH MARKET STREET, SUITE 100
WILMINGTON, DE 19801
2. The name(s) and last known address(es) of the Defendant(s) are:
GEORGE KATSIFIS
1777 SHEEPFORD ROAD
MECHANICSBURG, PA 17055-4849
IRENE M. KATSIFIS
1777 SHEEPFORD ROAD
MECHANICSBURG, PA 17055-4849
who is/are the mortgagor(s) of the property hereinafter described.
3. On 12/29/2005 GEORGE KATSIFIS and IRENE M. KATSIFIS made, executed and
delivered a mortgage upon the premises hereinafter described to SOVEREIGN BANK ,
which mortgage is recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of CUMBERLAND
County, in Book 1936, Page 2746.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. 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. The following amounts are due on the mortgage as of 08/12/2014:
Principal Balance $111,901.91
Interest $3,237.23

8. 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
discharged in bankruptcy, but only to foreclose the mortgage and sell the mortgaged
premises pursuant to Pennsylvania Law.
9. Notice of Intention to Foreclose as set forth in Act 6 of 1974,Notice of Homeowner's
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#: 952218
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands an in rem judgment against the Defendant(s) in the sum of
$117,249.96, together with interest, costs, fees, and charges collectible under the mortgage
including but not limited to attorney fees and costs, and for the foreclosure and sale of the
mortgaged property.
