JOAN B. HARRISON,
Defendant
PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes Defendant, Joan B. Harrison, by her attorney, who files the within
Preliminary Objections to Plaintiffs Complaint, as follows:
I. PRELIMINARY OBJECTION RAISING LACK OF CAPACITY TO SUE.
I. As a general rule, an action must be brought "by and in the name of the real party in
interest." Pa.R.C.P. No. 2002(a).
2. A real party in interest is one who can discharge a given right, obligation, or liability and
control an action brought to enforce it.
3. Paragraph 3 of the Complaint refers to a mortgage between Defendant and "Mortgage
Electronic Registration Systems, Nominee For Full Spectrum Lending, Incorporated",
dated 12/18/2003 and recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Cumberland County.
Plaintiff, Bank of New York, is not the "mortgagee" or party named in the aforesaid
mortgage instrument filed of record in the Cumberland County Recorder's Office.
4. Further, Plaintiff alleges in paragraph 3 of its Complaint that it is in the process of
formalizing an assignment of the mortgage. Thus, Plaintiff fails to allege the specific
information required by Pa. R.C.P. 1147 regarding assignments.
5. Plaintiff in this action lacks the capacity to sue because there has been no assignment of the
mortgage and Plaintiff is not authorized to file the within action in its own name.
..
~
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Court dismiss Plaintiffs Complaint
because it is not filed by and in the name of the real party in interest.
II. PRELIMINARY OBJECTION RAISING FAILURE TO CONFORM TO
APPLICABLE RULES OR LAW.
6. The verification to Plaintiff s complaint was not made by the party filing suit, but rather was
made by Plaintifl's attorney.
7. Pa. R.C.P. 1024(c) requires that:
The verification shall be made by one or more of the parties filing the pleading unless all
the parties (I) lack sufficient knowledge or information, or (2) are outside the jurisdiction of
the court and the verification of none of them can be obtained within the time allowed for
filing the pleading. In such cases, the verification may be made by any person having
sufficient knowledge or information and belief and shall set forth the source of his
information as to matters not stated upon his own knowledge and the reason why the
verification is not made by a party.
8. The verification to Plaintiffs complaint was not taken by the Plaintiff and does not set forth
the source of Plaintiffs attorney's information as to the matters contained in the complaint.
9. This objection is not trivial because Plaintiffs counsel has not alleged sufficient facts to
even demonstrate that Plaintiff is the real party in interest.
10. The verification to Plaintiffs' complaint is defective under Rule I 024( c).
II. The verification being defective, Plaintiffs' complaint is not properly verified as required of
a pleading under Rule 1024(a), and must be stricken.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that Plaintiffs complaint be stricken.
Respectfully submitted,

Plaintiffhas filed a Mortgage Foreclosure Complaint because Defendant is/are in default
under the mortgage. In response, Defendant has filed frivolous Preliminary Objections merely to
delay the foreclosure action.

PF.NNSVI ,V A NI A RUI,F.S OF CIVn, PROCF.DURF.
Plaintiff's action in mortgage foreclosure is based upon an action at law to foreclose a
mortgage, not to enforce a personal liability. Pa.R.C.P. 1141. Rule 1147 of the Pennsylvania Rules
of Civil Procedure sets forth the averments that are required to be plead in a mortgage foreclosure
complaint. The Rule provides:
The Plaintiff shall set forth in the complaint:
1. The parties to and the date of the mortgage, and of any assignments, and a statement of
the place of record of the mortgage and assignments;
2. A description of the land subject to the mortgage;
3. The name, address and interest of the Defendant in the action and that the present real
owner is unknown ifhe is not made a party;
4. Specific averment of default;
5. An itemized statement ofthe amount due; and
6. A demand for judgment for the amount due.
Instantly, Plaintiffs Complaint comports with the aforesaid requirements. Paragraph 2 states
the name, address and interest of the Defendant. Paragraph 3 recites the execution of the Mortgage,
including the date that the Mortgage was made, and also sets forth the date of the Assignment along
with the information concerning the recording of the Mortgage and Assignment. Paragraph 4 refers to
the legal description of the land. Paragraph 5 states that the mortgage is in default. Paragraph 6
provides a breakdown of the amount due on the mortgage. The Wherefore Clause sets forth Plaintiff's
demand for judgment.
Accordingly, Plaintiffs Complaint complies with the pleading requirements as set forth in
Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.

Under the law of assignments~ the assignee stands in the same shoes as the assignor. An
assignment does not confer on the assignee any greater rights than those possessed by the assignor.
Pennsylv:mia HieJ1er Fducation Assistance v T1evore, 267 Pa. Super. 74,406 A.2d 343,344 (1979);
lJ S Steel Homes Credit Corporation, 277 Pa. Super. 308, 419 A.2d 785 (1980). However, the
assignee's rights are not inferior to those ofthe assignor. 1 J S Steel Homes Credit Corporation v
South Shore T1evelopment Corporation, 277 Pa. Super. 308,419 A.2d 785 (1980). In South Shore,
the Court held that if an obligation is paid by an [assignee], there is no reason in law that [it] should
not have the same security that [assignor] had, namely, the mortgage signed by South Shore
Development Corporation. Id., at 312.
Similar to South Shore, in the instant case, Bank of New York As Trustee for the Certificateholders of
CWABS 2004-02 paid for the Assignment of Mortgage to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems,
Inc., Nominee for Full Spectrum Lending, Incorporated, and therefore, it has the same security that
Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (assignor) had, namely, the mortgage signed by the
Defendants. Accordingly, Mortgage to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., Nominee for
Full Spectrum Lending, Incorporated. acquired the rights conferred by the Mortgage, including the
right to foreclose in the event of default.
Tn Tncim:triHl PHckHeine Prociuct~ {;o v Fort Pitt PHckHeine TntemHtionHl, Tnc , 399 Pa. 643,
161 A.2d 19 (1960), the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held that the purpose of filing financial
statements in office of Prothonotary of county showing debtor and secured party and type of property
involved is to give notice to potential future creditors of debtors or purchasers of the collateral and it
makes no difference as far as such notice is concerned whether secured party listed in filing statement
is a principal or an agent. Similar to Tncill~triHl PHckHeine, when an assignment is recorded, it is to
give notice to potential future creditors or purchasers of the mortgage as to who the record owner of
the mortgage is, it does not validate or invalidate the transaction. Therefore, the transfer of the
mortgage was effectuated upon transfer of the consideration, not upon the recording or execution of
the Assignment document. Thus, Plaintiff is the legal owner of the mortgage and may institute
foreclosure proceedings against Defendants as a result of their failure to make the monthly payments.
IV. PI ,A INTIFF PROPF,RI,V VF,RIFIF,n ITS COMPI.A INT
Defendant contends that the Complaint should be stricken because the Verification was
executed by an agent for the Plaintiff, as opposed to an officer of the corporation. This argument
ignores the principle that an agent of the corporation, with actual knowledge of the facts, may make
the verification of the complaint. It is not required that an officer make the verification. See
generally 4 Std. Penna. Prac. 2d, Section 21 :21.
Instantly, as mortgaging servicing agent for the Plaintiff S:mdy A 1iott:!, A~~i~t:!nt Vice
PTe~ident of COllntrywide , had the requisite authority to verify the allegations of the complaint on
behalf of Plaintiff. Accordingly, Plaintiff submits the complaint has been appropriately verified.
V. CONeT .TTSTON
For the reasons set forth herein, the Preliminary Objections are meritless and have been
interposed for the purpose of delay only. Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court
enter an Order overruling Defendant's Preliminary Objections and directing Defendant to file an
Answer to Plaintiff's Complaint within twenty (20) days of the Court's Order.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court overrule Defendant's Preliminary
Objections and direct the Defendant to file an Answer to Plaintiff's Complaint.
