		<description>&quot;OK, you tell me, are servicers really this incompetent, or is this a design feature. or an unholy mix of the two? You don&#039;t see this inability to trace transactions in checking accounts or credit cards.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I vote incompetent! Servicers have actually been a big part of fueling the foreclosure crisis, too, though funnily enough, you don&#039;t hear about them much. They lose payments, put payments into a &quot;suspense account&quot; if one is late, then forget where the suspense accounts are . . . It&#039;s like the money disappears into a black hole, never to return. Let&#039;s just say the NYT story is not at all uncommon.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;People will refinance to get away from what they thought was a bad bank, only to find they are still stuck with the same incompetent servicer. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Whether servicers are &lt;i&gt;designed&lt;/i&gt; that way? Well, that&#039;s the stuff of class action lawsuits, so good luck getting anyone to admit to that.</description>

		<description>&quot;Is Prozac causing all of these stock market bubbles? &quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is very thought provoking piece.  I can tell you from personal experience that upon going on Antidepressants in the 1990&#039;s, I quickly left my wife and went from being shy with the fairer sex to being outlandishly bold.  I made a similar transition in business.  All for the good, in my case.  Others might disagree.</description>

		<description>The NYT article just goes to show the one way street, that is the Debit highway. Accountability in  systems is my pet peeve, how can i control/be responsible in my position if i can&#039;t see where the ship is going and how its running.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But it seems those above and before me, must have done their apprenticeship with a criminal gang. The criminal mind knows not to leave incriminating evidence lying around/out in plane sight/easy to lay ones hands on.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I would have like to see the in house e-mails for Wells Fargo on this one lol, let the finger pointing begin.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Skippy</description>

		<description>Sikh Signed &quot;Terrorist&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;While this particular Sikh is not a known terrorist, Sikh terrorist did blow up an Air India Jumbo Jet, planted a bomb on luggage of another aircraft which exploded on the ground in Japan, and so on.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So while the driver&#039;s action is reprehensible, it is not true that Sikhs should be completely disassociated from &quot;terrorists&quot;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Individual Sikhs, however, should be innocent until proven guilty.</description>

		<description>The LTCM bailout was only one in a string of bailouts, including the &#039;87 crash and the Mexican and Asian crises. These attempts to &#039;smooth out&#039; returns and banish recessions from capitalism only succeeded in finally blowing one last bubble that is &#039;too big to bail.&#039; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks, &#039;Committee to Save the World&#039;!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;What all this has to do with an excessively free market is a mystery to me.</description>

		<description>Yves is screaming here, with the monkey pix, that an economic recovery will begin around the next, Year Of The Monkey, which begins Feb 08 2016 and thus ends Jan 27 2017.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Nonetheless, The Year of The Ox (Yin, 2nd Trine, Fixed Element Water) may offer us the possibilities and characteristics of crap associated with states of being that may evolve towards things being: Dependable, calm, methodical, patient, hardworking, ambitious, conventional, steady, modest, logical, resolute, tenacious. Can be stubborn, narrow-minded, materialistic, rigid, demanding.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;See also:  We should also keep in mind, that if the Lunisolar calendar ends in 9 it is Yin Earth.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;土 Earth&lt;br/&gt;Centre（中）&lt;br/&gt;Three Enclosures, Change of seasons&lt;br/&gt;The Yellow Dragon（黄龙）&lt;br/&gt;The Planet Saturn（土星）&lt;br/&gt;The Color Yellow（意）&lt;br/&gt;Digestive system, Spleen（脾） and stomach（胃）&lt;br/&gt;Powerful, Wise, Patient, Militaristic, Prideful, Prudent, Stable, Reliable, Hard-working, Ambitious, Stubborn, Seeks to Conquer&lt;br/&gt;Disciplined, Rigid, Controlling, Tenacious, Logical, Governed by Service and Duty to Others&lt;br/&gt;Earth Governs Dragon, Sheep, Dog and Ox.

		<description>I have two bankruptcy cases where no one can find the note, so the trustee got an order declaring that the amount owed on the note is zero. The Chapter 7 Trustee is going to sell the property free and clear, with liens attaching to proceeds, and the amount due is zero, so all the proceeds go to unsecured creditors or back to the debtor.</description>

		<description>Re: &quot;A Mortgage Paper Trail Often Leads to Nowhere&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Gimme a break.  When I make my payment every month, it has no trouble making it to whomever owns the mortgage.  The road only leads to nowhere when the issue is making note mods.  Then all of a sudden (conveniently) it can&#039;t be done because there&#039;s no paper trail.  Perhaps the borrowers in question should just stop making payments.</description>
