was evicted last month from the home he shared with
his wife in Rancho Cucamonga.
Mr. Bennett said he thought he might be able to save
his home, despite falling behind on his loan payments,
because the mortgage assignment was signed by a
mortgage company employee, Marti Noriega, who was
previously involved in a foreclosure that had been
halted.
In October 2010, Garr M. King, a senior judge with the
United States District Court in Oregon, blocked a
foreclosure after spotting a suspicious document from
Ms. Noriega. In that lawsuit, Ms. Noriega, acting as
vice president of Mortgage Electronic Registration
Systems, signed an assignment of mortgage.
The problem, court records show, was with the date.
Ms. Noriega’s signature transferring the mortgage from
Mortgage Lenders Network USA to LaSalle National
Bank (now part of Bank of America) was dated 15
months after Mortgage Lenders Network halted its
operations.
Some foreclosures include documents from people
who have testified to being robo-signers in other
courts.
In July 2010, Erica Johnson-Seck, whose signatures
appeared in foreclosure cases filed by OneWest,
acknowledged, in a deposition in state court in Palm
Beach County in Florida, having signed 750 mortgage
documents a week, usually with only a cursory review.

Yet Carla Duncan, a social worker, is fighting a lawsuit
over the foreclosure on her three-bedroom home in
Cleveland Heights, Ohio. The lawsuit, which was filed
in March 2010 in Ohio state court, includes a
document signed by Ms. Johnson-Seck.
“It’s so totally unfair,” said Ms. Duncan.
A spokesman for OneWest declined to comment on
Ms. Duncan’s lawsuit.
Last November, federal banking regulators forced the
nation’s largest servicers, including the eight cited by
the Fed, to comb through foreclosure records and to
rectify any problems.
As part of that process, consumers who believe that
they have experienced “financial injury” have until July
31 to request an independent review of their
foreclosure and potentially receive compensation.
But Matt Englett, a lawyer in Orlando, Fla., who
defends struggling homeowners, said that many
people who had already lost their homes were
focusing on simply staying afloat and did not realize
they could ask for an independent review.
So far, more than 128,000 people have requested a
review, according to the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency.
“These are the forgotten homeowners,” Mr. Englett
said.
