QUIET TITLE NY - Mortgage Eliminated and Removed from Property Due to Acceleration of Mortgage Loan and Statute of Limitations.
In a pair of decisions in which lenders lost the right to foreclose a New York Supreme Court judge and a New York Appellate Court each decided that the 6 year statute of limitations prevented the lender from collecting the mortgage loan. In Augustine Diji v. Deutsche Bank, a judge for the New York State Supreme Court, Kings County, wrote a decision eliminating the plaintiff, Diji's, mortgage. The judge ruled that Diji's mortgage loan was accelerated in 2007 and after 2 failed foreclosure cases Deutsche Bank's time ran out to file a foreclosure. Based upon Deutsche Bank's failure to file in time the mortgage was removed from the property. In a highly watched case, the Appellate Court in Beneficial Homeowner Service Corp. v. Tovar, ruled that the lender's foreclosure case must be dismissed because the statute of limitations had passed. The Appellate justices said that even if a homeowner is not served with foreclosure papers a lender's acceleration of a mortgage loan still remains valid.
Brooklyn court moves to dismiss thousands of foreclosure cases: Lawyers say homeowners will be negatively affected by the action
The court said it planned to dismiss all cases filed before Jan. 1, 2016 that have seen no court activity after Sept. 30, 2016. It quietly published a notice of the administrative dismissal in the New York Law Journal on Thursday, April 27, giving parties until Monday, May 1 to contact the court to keep their cases alive. Foreclosure defense lawyers say that while it might seem like a good thing for foreclosure cases to be dismissed, it would in fact be extremely negative for homeowners battling lenders. For one, all of the motions a homeowner had filed taking issue with the lenders' claims would be lost. In addition, many of the delays could be due to the lenders dragging their feet, lawyers say, but dismissing the case without fault to either side would allow the lenders to relaunch their case with a blank slate.
