"do you know something Mr. LIBOR doesn't?"

Here's a Kansas Supreme Court decision I learned about today. The decision was handed down on August 28.

Capsule version: the originator of the mortgage has no standing to foreclose, because it has assigned its rights to the mortgage contract and has been paid in full. The presumptive assignee/s has no foreclosure right unless it can produce a contract and defend it in court. The presumptive agent (Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems) has no standing to foreclose because it never was a party to the contract. Over half of US mortgages are recorded in the name of MERS, 60,000,000 mortgages.

do you know something Ms. Bair doesn't?

"WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair said her agency is considering borrowing from the U.S. Treasury to replenish its deposit insurance fund.

Using the FDIC credit line with the Treasury is one option under consideration, Bair said Friday after a speech in Washington. Other options include hiking assessments on banks or requiring them to prepay assessments, she added."
