Posts: 5,525 | More on MERS: http://www.washingto...0123003056.html"Virginia delegate Bob Marshall, who has proposed tighter recording requirements, said that "the practice of MERS is going to destroy 400 years of guarantees that American law has sought to give people." ""In theory it's a good idea because it saves everyone a lot of money," said Howard A. Lax, a real estate expert at the law firm of Lipson, Neilson, Cole, Seltzer & Garin. But in practice, he added, MERS "relies on all these people from different financial institutions to give them accurate information. Nobody at MERS is responsible for due diligence, to go back and question whether the information they're getting is accurate. It's just like a computer program. If you're going to put garbage in, you're going to get garbage out." Phyllis K. Walters, a recorder from Illinois who led the opposition to MERS in the 1990s, said that in her district the chain of title for a parcel of land goes back to 1839 and never got broken until banks started recording, and foreclosing, in the name of MERS. "If things had been recorded in our offices," she said, "we wouldn't be in this mess."

A willingness by the GSEs to negotiate may let other lenders cap costs from mounting demands they buy back loans that allegedly had bad or incomplete information about borrowers’ incomes, home values or other data.

Posts: 5,525 | http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/26/business/economy/26inquiry.html?_r=1The full report comes out tomorrow, all 576 page. But this Times article is an interesting overview. Imo, this report will be the central issue in the 2012 election. Those of you who wish to cast an informed vote and sort BS from fiction need to familiarize yourselves with it. Who knew? If you look at the very bottom of the Times piece there is an interesting story on Nabokov and butterflies

Barofsky quotes Thomas Hoenig, president of the Kansas City Federal Reserve, who uses similar numbers and draws the same conclusion: The big banks have undoubtedly become bigger."
