Circuit Judge J. Michael Traynor dismissed a St. John's foreclosure case filed by Florida Default Law Group (FDLG) because the bank that they named as owner of the note, U.S. Bank, did not own the note. FDLG then amended their complaint to name the correct mortgage holder, HSBC Bank, but falsely claimed that HSBC was a successor to U.S. Bank. Both of these claims were obviously false because U.S. Bank was never the holder of the note.
This may be a simple clerical error made by the FDLG, or it may not seeing that FDLG is currently being investigated by the economic crimes unit of the Florida Attorney General's Office. The Attorney General's website claims that FDLG "appears to be fabricating and/or presenting false and misleading documents in foreclosure cases." If your home is in foreclosure and Florida Default Law Group is involved in any way, protect yourself by contacting a Florida Foreclosure Lawyer or Jacksonville Foreclosure Lawyer
