New York’s attorney general has filed a lawsuit against the three biggest lenders and the Mortgage Electronic Registration System Inc. alleging that the registry is a sham designed to deceive borrowers and the public and avoid recording fees. The state wants the system declared illegal and all resulting title defects cured.
The complaint was filed Friday in the Supreme Court of the State of New York by New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman.
The state alleges that the defendants have been using MERS "in a wide range of deceptive and fraudulent foreclosure filings in New York state and federal courts, harming homeowners and undermining the integrity of the judicial foreclosure process."
