    Re: This could have a very major effect on repossessions

    So if securitisation HAS taken place, a SAR should show it up?

    How else would someone know if their mortgage has been securitised?????

    It's still all a bit over my head.

      The securitization stuff is over my head as well, but I can assure you these mortgages were packaged up and securitised.
      Barclays & BOS dont own the mortgages, but still manage them on the bond holders behalf

          It is very dodgy & It's only come to light because of the current crisis.

          Yes a SAR should reveal who has the mortgage & no as previously explained, thanks to the government & the regulators they don't have to issue a 'notice of assignment'............ However there are some (me included) who think this may be unlawful & a breach by the government agencies involved of the HRA

            Surely to attempt enforcement in their own name there must be an absolute assignment compliant with Law of Property s136 ?!
            Or have they been so blinded by greed that something as simple as a legally binding document is beneath them.

              Curly YES & that's the problem.............for the lenders

              Read my original post & in particular where the American Judge castigates the lender for NOT doing the paperwork throughout the securitization of the debt

                      Syn

                      A way of finding out who has the mortgage is to check bank statements and see who the DD goes to. In my case I have a mort with SPML but my statements showed payments going to SPS05-3plc (southern pacific securities 05-3plc) then check on companies house as to who they are. Another way is to check the house insurance and see who the mort company asked to be named as an interested party.

                        Do we have any update on this ?

                        I have heard OTR of a couple of potential cases where it may be mentioned by the borrower in a possession case to see what the reaction is . Also that there may be discrepancies at Land registry as to who holds the charge?

                          I read an article about this yesterday ummmm will find it.. think is was the credit crunch document from the government.

                          The document on there, I think page 199 ish, covers some views on securitization and this not knowing who actually owns the loans etc as well as the land regsitry.

                            Here Carmel Butler's view....
                            (202)
                            OPENESS AND HONESTY
                            14. There are no bad debts on the banks books. And if there is any bad debt, the amount is
                            de minimis. A primary purpose of a securitisation is: to remove the credit risk from the
                            bank’s books. The bank, under a ‘true sale’ will sell all its rights and title in the mortgages
                            to the SPV and the SPV will in return pay the bank cash for the mortgage assets. This
                            plain truth has remained elusive because under the terms of the true sale contract, the
                            bank and the SPVs have unlawfully agreed to keep the transaction concealed from the
                            borrower and, from H.M. Land Registry. Thus giving the false appearance to the world
                            that the banks still own the mortgages.
                            15. Two sleights-of hand are at play in this manoeuvre. One is the legal ruse, the other the
                            auditor ruse. This is not to suggest that the professions have conspired, they are each
                            compartmentalised and each are generally unaware of the combined effect.


                            16. First, the legal ruse. The law provides mortgagees with a statutory power to transfer a
                            legal charge.43 It is under these statutory provisions that the banks exercise their right to
                            assign the mortgages to the SPVs. In a contract of sale that provides for a disposition44 of
                            an interest in land, the legal title will be conveyed immediately from the seller to the
                            buyer45 on the completion date. There can be no doubt that on completion, the buyer has
                            acquired the legal title, but there will inevitably be a “registration gap” between the
                            conveyance date on which the buyer acquired the legal title and the date on which his
                            legal title is registered at H.M. Land Registry. During this registration gap, the law
                            provides that the buyer’s title: “does not operate at law until the relevant registration
                            requirements are met”.46
                            17. This is where the legal ruse comes into play. It is this “registration gap” that the SPV
                            unlawfully exploits in order to conceal its ownership and control of the mortgages.
                            Under the Land Registration Act 2002 (“LRA 2002”), the transferee47 of a registered
                            charge is required to register at H.M. Land Registry, its ownership of the mortgage that it
                            purchased.48 Therefore, it is a legal requirement that the SPV register its proprietorship
                            of the mortgage at H.M. Land Registry. Whilst the law implicitly permits the registration
                            gap as a matter of pragmatism, the law also implicitly mandates that the registration
                            requirements are to be observed expeditiously. Nonetheless, in contumacious disregard
                            for its legal duty to comply with the registration requirements of the LRA 2002, the
                            contract of sale expressly provides that the SPV will not register the transfer at H.M. Land
                            Registry indeed, the contract provides that notice of the transfer is to be concealed from
                            the borrowers and H.M. Land Registry and a fortiori concealed from the world49.
                            18. The suppression and concealment of this information from H.M. Land Registry is a
                            criminal offence50, and in furtherance of this offence51, the SPV’s legal title to the
                            mortgages is also concealed from the county courts and the Government. The Banks
                            remain registered as the proprietor of the mortgages and accordingly all interested parties
                            are deceived by this concealment with one exception. The SPV does inform its investors
                            that the bank sold its legal title to the SPV (to whom, the right to register the legal title to
                            the mortgages is important). Consequently, the bank appears to be the legal owner, but it
                            is not.
                            it goes on....need to read the document (its not the government approved version)


                            Carmel Butler is
                            3. I am British Citizen resident in the UK and a qualified lawyer admitted to practice in New
                            York, U.S.A. I have an LLB Laws from the London School of Economics and a JD (Juris
                            Doctor) from Columbia University, New York. I practiced securities law at Sidley Austin
                            LLP New York office from September 2006 to December 2007. Whilst at Sidley Austin I
                            worked on various Structured Finance transactions such as mortgage securitisations,
                            CDOs and various derivatives. I am also a consumer of a mortgage product that has been
                            securitised. Consequently, as both an ex-practitioner of securitisations and a consumer
                            subjected to a securitisation, the intention is to focus on consumer issues that arise from
                            mortgage securitisations, its central causal role in the banking crisis and its detrimental
                            effect on the economy and public purse.

                              There's a lengthy discussion, of which I'm a part, going on otr - The threads are huge & there's to much to explain here but yes there are some who intend to try & defeat repo by using the argument 'not being the true owner does the claimant have the right to litigate'

                              Also the Treasury Committee have issued a report which is almost word for word the same as Carmel Butlers submissions - they also entreat the FSA to insist that the true owners register with the LR as required by law
