27 in the County of Los Angeles, State of California. Magness had informed Plaintiff that
there were problems with Plaintiff‟s credit that would complicate his efforts to obtain
28 financing.

6 Civ. Code §2932.5, and/or that the Note executed was no longer a negotiable
7
instrument because the assignment was not physically applied to the Note, and
8
as such the foreclosure of Plaintiff‟s subject property did not conform with the

(As Against All Defendants)
8
paragraphs, as though they have been fully restated and set forth herein.
9 39. An actual controversy exists in which the parties must ascertain their
10
rights, duties and right to title in the Subject Property.
11
40. A judicial determination is necessary that the parties may ascertain their
12
17 42. An actual controversy has arisen and now exists between Plaintiff and
18
Defendants, and each of them, concerning their respective rights, obligations and
19
duties as it relates to the Subject Property. In particular, on one hand, Plaintiff
20
21 contends:
22 (a) that Plaintiff tendered the full amount owing as of the date of tender
23 as more particularly alleged herein;
24 (b) that failing to comply with R.E.S.P.A. as more particularly alleged
25 herein, defendants were not entitled to proceed with the foreclosure until

SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
8 FRAUD AND CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT FRAUD
9 (As against Defendants)
10
44. Plaintiff incorporates Paragraphs one (1) through Forty-Three (43) of
11
this Amended Complaint, all paragraphs of general allegations, and any unnumbered
12
13 paragraphs, as though they have been fully restated and set forth herein.
14
45. Plaintiff alleges that the defendants, each of the separately and together
15
discussed Plaintiff‟s finances and his intent on purchasing the property where he now
16
21 an illegal scheme the purpose of which was to execute loans secured by real property
22 in order to make commissions, kick-backs, illegal undisclosed yield spread premiums,
23
and undisclosed profits by the sale of any instruments arising out of the transaction.
24
26 plaintiff, and to third parties, that they were the owner of the Trust Deed and Note as
27
either the Trustee, or the Beneficiary regarding Plaintiff‟s real property.
28
2 did in fact repose his trust in the representations of Defendants, and that such trust was
3
reasonable.
4
49. Defendants, presented a loan to Plaintiff whereby they represented that
5
6 he did qualify for underwriting, and that the loan was within Plaintiff‟s personal
7
financial needs and limitations given the amount of down-payment, and the
8
confidential financial information that Plaintiff shared with Defendants.
9
10 50. Plaintiff believed that his down-payment had been applied to the loan,
11
that his name was on the loan, and the Deed in his name.
12
51. Defendants had a duty to disclose their true acts, and true intentions
13
14 concerning the loan, the amount of down payment paid, and the true name the loan and
15 deed were in.
16
52. Plaintiff acquired the foregoing property by virtue of the said funding
17
18 based on the representations of Defendants, that the loan was the best they could
19 obtain, and that the loan was well within Plaintiff‟s financial needs and limitations.
20
53. Plaintiff is informed and believes that Defendants, represented to
21
22
Plaintiff that they were working for the benefit of Plaintiff and in his particular best
23 interest, to obtain for him the best loan, and at the best rates available.
24
54. At the time Defendants, with actual knowledge that the foregoing false
25
representations to Plaintiff, were untrue and the representations were material
26
6 57. Plaintiff was induced to rely and did rely on the mis-representations of
7
defendants through deception, and his reliance was justified as he believed that
8
Defendants were working for him, and in his best interest.
9
10 58. Defendants had made Plaintiff numerous verbal promises, one of which
11
was that the loan and deed would be, and in fact, were secured in Plaintiff‟s name,
12
while defendants had actual knowledge that they were misleading Plaintiff and that
13
18 recorded without disclosing their true role, and thereafter a notice of intent to foreclose
19 and finally foreclosure was completed, permanently affecting Plaintiffs right, title and
20
interest in the Subject Property.
21
22
60. Now, by virtue of Plaintiff‟s reliance and the lack of payments accepted
23 toward the property, Plaintiff has been damaged in the loss of his credit, loss through
24
foreclosures, and loss from being involved in litigation that Plaintiff had not bargained
25
for, causing him further harm, damage and injury.
26
2 62. Plaintiff‟s reliance was justified based upon cremin falsi, and
3
representations of Defendants, Plaintiff had no reason to believe that a party
4
representing a bank would go to such lengths to deceive and to assist others in
5
10 the time that they were attempting to foreclose on Plaintiff‟s Trust Deed and note that
11
they had no right to do so, but continued anyway.
12
64. Defendants, by and through said conspiracy, and fraudulent scheme,
13
18 caused Plaintiff harm, and injury; he has been damaged in an amount that currently
19 exceeds $300,000 and will suffer substantially from additional costs of moving from
20
the property, and the costs to relocate back to the subject Property.
21
22
66. Additionally, Plaintiff has been made to suffer deep and severe
27 was executed by, and for himself, and which initially formed a basis of a security
28
interest in the subject property, was in fact put into the name of Mr. Magness.
2 Plaintiff‟s property, when Mr. Magness decided that he wanted a Forty Thousand
3
Dollar ($40,000.00) swimming pool at Mr. Magness‟ own home.
4
69. Further, through Defendants‟ acts of conspiracy and fraud, therefrom
5
14 contract or reject it; CHL/1stLAM drafted all of the documents related to the loan, and
15 no negotiations were possible between Plaintiff and 1stLAM/CHL and that the
16
contract was a contract of adhesion.
17
18 71. The issues Plaintiff later learned about the loan, were unconscionable in
19 that the loan was never in Plaintiff‟s name, the payments were rejected, making
20
repayment impossible; Plaintiff learned the truth that neither the loan, nor the title was
21
22
in his name.
23 72. Defendants, and each of them, could not enforce the terms and
24
conditions of the loan against Plaintiff, and any non-judicial foreclosure arising there
25
from is void.
26
27 73. Through no fault of the Plaintiff, the loan associated with Plaintiff‟s
28
property went into default; Plaintiff had faithfully, in good faith, paid and had intended
2 tender.
3
74. Plaintiff actually was not in default because of the prior fraudulent acts
4
of defendants, and their breach of the terms of the notes, any claimed default, had to be
5
6 excused.
7
75. BOA and ReCon, acting as the agent of the Principal failed to have
8
written authorization to act for the principal and under California Civil Code §1624 the
9
14 3302
15 77. The loan contract, deed of trust, and accompanying documents were
16
offered to Plaintiff on a take it or leave it basis, and Plaintiff had already provided One
17
19 78. BOA and Recon acted as agents of the Beneficiary and signed
20
documents as the agent, of the agent, of the agent of the Beneficiary for Plaintiff‟s
21
22
Note and the notices therein, notwithstanding the fact that the Note was not negotiable
27 matter of law.
28
80. Defendants, and each of them, are and have, engaged in, and will
2 Civil Code §§ 2924 et seq., 2932.5 et seq., and unless restrained, will continue to
3
engage in such misconduct; a public benefit necessitates that Defendants be restrained
4
from such conduct currently being practiced, and that conduct which will be conducted
5
6 in the future.
7
WHEREFORE Plaintiff Moves for the following Relief:
8
(a) For compensatory damages according to proof at time of trial;
9
18 III.
24 81. Plaintiff incorporates Paragraphs one (1) through Eighty (80) of this
25
Amended Complaint, all paragraphs of general allegations, and any unnumbered
26
paragraphs, as though they have been fully restated and set forth herein.
27
2 (a) The Congress finds that significant reforms in the real estate
3
settlement process are needed to insure that consumers throughout the
Nation are provided with greater and more timely information on the
4
nature and costs of the settlement process and are protected from
5 unnecessarily high settlement charges caused by certain abusive
6 practices that have developed in some areas of the country. The
Congress also finds that it has been over two years since the Secretary of
7
Housing and Urban Development and the Administrator of Veterans'
8 Affairs submitted their joint report to the Congress on ``Mortgage
9 Settlement Costs'' and that the time has come for the recommendations
for Federal legislative action made in that report to be implemented.
10
(b) It is the purpose of this chapter to effect certain changes in the
11
settlement process for residential real estate that will result--
12
(1) in more effective advance disclosure to home buyers and sellers
13 of settlement costs;
14 (2) in the elimination of kickbacks or referral fees that tend to
15 increase unnecessarily the costs of certain settlement services;
16 (3) in a reduction in the amounts home buyers are required to place in
escrow accounts established to insure the payment of real estate taxes
17
and insurance; and
18
(4) in significant reform and modernization of local recordkeeping of
19
land title information.
20
83. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants, and each of them, as set forth herein
21
22 violated both the terms and spirit of sections 12 U.S.C. §2601, etc. et seq.
23
84. Plaintiff alleges that he was in the group of persons for whom 12 U.S.C.
24
§2601, etc. et seq. was intended to protect and that Plaintiff suffered damages which
25
2 section provides both civil and criminal penalties for violations thereof.
3
86. That the failure to respond to plaintiff‟s RESPA requests constitutes a
4
violation of 12 USC §2607(b) and that therefore as provided by statute, he is entitled
5
6 to and seek treble damages therefore in a sum subject to proof at time of trial.
7
87. Plaintiff alleges that his‟ claims regarding fees and penalties are not time
8
barred as the purpose of these fees were not explained to Plaintiff.
9
14 this court.
15 WHEREFORE Plaintiff Moves for the following Relief:
16
(a) For damages as provided by statute;
17
22
IV.
28 paragraphs, as though they have been fully restated and set forth herein.
6 to possession of the property at the time of the alleged conversion; (2) defendant's
7
conversion by a wrongful act or disposition of plaintiff's property rights; and (3)
8
damages.
9
10 92. Defendants BOA, ReCon, Mr. Magness, and possibly the Does
11
committed acts that resulted in foreclosure and were of such nature to cause an actual
12
interference with Plaintiff‟s ownership or right to possess the subject property.
13
14 93. The fraudulent acts associated with the loan and deed, show an intention
15 or purpose to convert the property, so that the defendants could exercise ownership
16
over it, and/or to remove the property from Plaintiff‟s ownership.
17
19 kept the loan from Plaintiff‟s name, refused payments from Plaintiff, and thereby
20
intended to convert the property by taking possession of it.
21
22
95. Further, because the property is of “peculiar interest” to the Plaintiff, and
23 the acts of defendants were willful, both Civ. Code 3355, as well as Civ. Code §3365
24
apply.
25
96. Because the conversion involved malice, fraud, and/or oppression,
26
27 exemplary or punitive damages can be properly awarded; the detriment caused by the
28
wrongful conversion of property is further, presumed to include fair compensation for
6 the Plaintiff and the property for the conversion count, only.
7
(b) Grant attorney‟s fees, which, although Plaintiff currently does not have
8
legal representation, he continues to seek competent legal representation.
9
10 (c) All court costs, and costs associated with pursuing a remedy of the illegal
11
acts of the defendants.
12
(d) Any other relief that Plaintiff fails to realize, and/or that this Court deems
13
19
97. Plaintiff realleges and incorporates Paragraphs One (1) through Ninety-
20 Six (96) of this Amended Complaint, all paragraphs of general allegations, and any
21
unnumbered paragraphs, as though they have been fully restated and set forth herein.
22
23
98. Plaintiff alleges that BOA, 1stLAM, and Mr. Magness committed a fraud
28 repayment, interest, annual percentage rate, or that the loan and deed would not be in
2 99. Plaintiff alleges that pursuant to Civil Code §3399, that the loan
3
documents which were executed did not truly express the intention of Plaintiff, more
4
particularly that the loan would have a repayment schedule that Plaintiff could afford,
5
6 as well as that the loan and deed would not be in Plaintiff‟s name.
7
100. Plaintiff alleges that utilization of any reasonable underwriting
8
guidelines, Plaintiffs had no hope whatsoever of repaying the loan, especially after Mr.
9
10 Magness added another Forty Thousand ($40,000.00) to the balance of the loan.
11
101. Employees and/or agents of BOA and/or 1stLAM represented that said
12
employees and/or agents could work-around the fact that Plaintiff‟s credit was not in
13
14 good standing and could get Plaintiff approved for the loan. Defendants did not
15 disclose at any time to Plaintiff that the loan and deed would never be in Plaintiff‟s
16
name.
17
18 102. Plaintiff alleges that the loan contract, deed of trust and accompanying
19 documents were offered to Plaintiff on a take it or leave it basis, and Plaintiff had
20
already at that time, provided One Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($110,000.00),
21
22
which had been applied as down payment for the loan.
23 103. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants BOA and 1stLAM had a superior
24
bargaining strength over Plaintiff, and that Plaintiff was relegated only the
25
opportunity to adhere to the contract or reject it, that defendants BOA, and/or 1stLAM,
26
27 and/or Mr. Magness had drafted all of the documents related to the loan, that no
28
negotiations were possible between Plaintiff and lender, and that the contract was a
2 104. Plaintiff alleges that the loan was unconscionable in that the repayment
3
terms were unfair and unduly oppressive, the loan was not, and it was never intended
4
to be in Plaintiff‟s name, and Defendants, each of them, could not legally enforce the
5
6 terms and conditions of the loan against Plaintiff, and any non-judicial foreclosure
7
arising there from is void.
8
105. Plaintiff is informed and believe that all Defendants, entered into a
9
10 fraudulent scheme, the purpose of which was to make a loan to Plaintiff, which each of
11
the defendants were keenly aware were never to be placed into Plaintiff‟s name;
12
thereby Plaintiff‟s payments would be denied.
13
14 106. Further, BOA, 1stLAM, and Mr. Magness falsely represented to Plaintiff
15 that he would not qualify for any other financing, that Plaintiffs could not qualify
16
