GENERAL ALLEGATIONS
1. Defendant HSBC Bank USA. National Association, acting in behalf of the
alleged holder of the loan Wells Fargo Asset Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed
Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-AR6 which is a trust entity also known as a Special
Purpose Vehicle became an alleged successor in interest to the originator and issued securities
collateralized by the deed of trust under a master pooling and servicing agreement dated
November 25. 2007, by which all legal and equitable interest was transferred to the certificate
holders. Defendant HSBC Bank USA. National Association as trustee is acting in the capacity of
the alleged representative for and nominee of the certificate holders for the purposes of
foreclosure of the property because the loan was allegedly in default. HSBC Bank USA. National
Association is not the holder or owner of the note.
2. Plaintiff is informed and believes and therefore alleges that the Defendant,
HSBC Bank USA. National Association acting in behalf of the holder of the loan Wells Fargo
Asset Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-
AR6 lacked standing to commence foreclosure proceedings being threatened because they are
not the lawful holders of the rights of the contract in this case.
3. Plaintiff alleges Defendant HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee
for Wells Fargo Asset Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates
Series 2007-AR6 ’s certificate holders lacked standing to commence foreclosure because they
were not the lawful holders of the rights of the contract under which foreclosure is being acted
on.
The note, which was a negotiable instrument under UCC Article 3, then converted to a security,
Once it is securitized, it falls under UCC Articles 8 and 9 as a security. The Federal Courts have
ruled that the only way to prove the perfection of any security is by actual possession of the
security. (Staff Mortgage & Investment Corp. 550 F.2d 1228 (9th Cir 1997). Under Uniform
Commercial Code, the security interest must be perfected by possession. Lacking proof of this
possession of the security, it did not have the right to initiate foreclosure proceedings in its name.
4. Defendants HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo
Asset Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-
AR6 illegally sold the rights and interests in Defendant’s loan instruments as un-registered
securities. Selling un-registered securities is an automatic right of rescission of the original

contract.
As already noted Wells Fargo Asset Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-
Through Certificates Series 2007-AR6 is a Special Purpose Vehicle and alleged successor in
interest to the originator and issued securities collateralized by the deed of trust under a master
pooling and servicing agreement dated November 25. 2007 , by which all legal and equitable
interest was transferred to the certificate holders.
5. Defendant HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee is acting in the
capacity of the alleged representative for and nominee of the certificate holders for the purposes
of foreclosure of the property. Since the sale of the rights and interests in the unregistered
securities of which Plaintiff’s debt instruments were a part was illegal and invalid, no legal and
equitable interest in Plaintiff’s debt instruments was transferred to the certificate holders to give
Defendant HSBC Bank USA. National Association as trustee acting in the capacity of nominee of
the certificate holders to have power of foreclosure of the property in the certificate holders’
behalf and the rights of sale are void.

SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT FRAUD AND CONVERSION
AGAINST HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset
Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series
2007-AR6
19. Plaintiff realleges and incorporates by reference all preceding allegations of the Verified
Complaint as it fully set forth herein.
20. Defendants parties as lenders, Securitizers, and/or’ servicers participating in the ERS
system formed an association to conspire to deprive Plaintiffs of the subject property through
fraud and misrepresentation that would result in Plaintiff entering into loan agreements for which
Plaintiffs was ultimately not qualified and which would eventually result in Plaintiff’s inability to
make payments and stay within the subject residence.
Upon information and belief; in furtherance of the conspiracy, Defendants intended that
the Plaintiff loan would be packaged with other loans and sold on the secondary market, resulting
in a profit to Defendants.
Defendants and each of them, knew prior to their origination of the loans or acceptance
of the loans for servicing and subsequent transfer of the loans that Plaintiff was not qualified to
make payments under the loan terms; however, defendant’s knew or should have known that
Plaintiffs would rely, and did rely on defendants representations, or the representations of

defendants agents, as alleged herein related to Plaintiffs ability to repay the loan or to refinance
the loan in taking the loan and signing the documents.
Defendants violated the Federal fair Housing Act, and A B 489, AB 90i in procuring Plaintiffs
signature on the loan documents.
Defendants legal objective of packaging the loan made to the Plaintiffs with other loans
and selling the loan was accomplished by illegal means in procuring the loans because of
defendants violation of the Federal Fair Housing Act.
Upon information and belief; Defendants knew that the loans would be subject to foreclosure as a
result of ’Plaintiff’s inability to make payments on the loan as payments escalated during the term
of the Loans and/or as a result of Plaintiffs inability to qualify to refinance the loan at a later date
after the Payments began to escalate because of changes to the interest rates and arbitrary
increase of payments by the servicers of the loans, and thus the Defendants committed acts
which constitute unlawful stripping.
Upon information and belief; the escalating payments and/or increases in the interest
rate were not properly disclosed to Plaintiffs..
21. Defendants intended that the Plaintiffs would default on the loan and defendants
would be in a position of seizing the Plaintiffs home in foreclosure actions unlawfully depriving
Plaintiff of her home.
Defendants, each of them, in furtherance of the conspiracy and agreement alleged
herein, acted in a conceited manner to target Plaintiff as borrower, to misrepresent the loan
terms and/or to misrepresent Plaintiffs qualification for the loans, knowing that such action or
actions would result in Defendant’s ultimate possession of the home of the Plaintiff following
foreclosure.
s a result of the Defendants’ conspiracy described herein, the Plaintiff has suffered injuries
which include mental, anguish, emotional distress, embarrassment, humiliation, loss of
reputation and a decreased credit rating , which has, or will impair Plaintiffs ability to obtain credit
at a more favorable rate than before the decrease in credit rating, the loss or anticipated loss of
her home and other financial losses according to proof including the court cost and fees incurred
in this matter..
Defendants conspiracy to unlawfully deceive Plaintiff into taking out the subject loan when and
how they did as alleged herein was willful and wanton, justifying award for punitive damages..
That Defendants are with scienter concerning such actions as alleged.
Plaintiff alleges that he is entitled to equitable relief; including, restitution, disgorgement of profits
earned by defendants because of their unlawful and deceptive practices and attorneys fees and

THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
VOID SALE FROM ULTRA VIRES ACT
AGAINST HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset
Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series
2007-AR6
26. Defendants HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset
Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-AR6 did
not have the power under their charter to do what they did; illegally sell the rights and interests in
Defendant’s loan instruments as un-registered securities to those seeking to make lawful security
investments. It is a violation of the Securities Act of 1933 and provides a right to
rescission of the contract.
27. In Central Transp. Co. v. Paullman, 139 U.S. 60, 11 S. Ct. 478, 35 L. Ed. 55, the court
said: “ contract ultra vires being unlawful and void, not because it is in itself immoral, but
because the corporation, by the law of its creation, is incapable of making it, the courts, while
refusing to maintain any action upon the unlawful contract, have always striven to do justice
between the parties, so far as could be done consistently with adherence to law, by permitting
property or money, parted with on the faith of the unlawful contract, to be recovered back, or
compensation to be made for it. In such case, however, the action is not maintained upon the
unlawful contract, nor according to its terms; but on an implied contract of the defendant to return,
or, failing to do that, to make compensation for, property or money which it has no right to retain.
To maintain such an action is not to affirm, but to disaffirm, the unlawful contract.”
28. “When a contract is once declared ultra vires, the fact that it is executed does not validate
it, nor can it be ratified, so as to make it the basis of suitor action, nor does the doctrine of
estoppel apply.” F&PR v. Richmond, 133 SE 898; 151 Va 195.

contract.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff moves this court to release the lien and restore title to Plaintiff.
The facts surrounding these allegations not having been fully developed, Plaintiff here reserves
the right to further plead facts and allegations in regard to this cause of action as may be found
or learned during the course of additional investigation and discovery.
.
FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION
IMPROPER CONVERSION AND ALTERATION OF THE NOTE AND DEED OF TRUST
AGAINST HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset
Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-AR6
The Plaintiff here is attacking the enforceability of the note and deed of trust by conversion in
securitization without the consent of the trustor. Securitization of the note and deed of trust
effectively severs financial responsibility for losses from the authority to incur or avoid losses.
Securitization converts the deed of trust and note into unalienable instruments. HSBC Bank USA.
National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-
Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-AR6 seeks to enforce the note in this case.
Moreover the court need not decide whether private ordering will allow a trustor to consent to an
unmodifiable promissory note when the deed of trust is executed. The court need only rule that
the securitization conversion of the note cannot be given effect without the prior consent of the
trustor. The securitization of the note constitutes a conversion of the asset rendering it null, void
and untransferable and possibly unenforcible.
The trustee of a pass through trust or other special purpose vehicle has no legal or
equitable interest in the securitized deed of trusts. The trustee profits from the fees collected from
foreclosure. The certificate holders are ostensibly the owner and holder of the note. However, the
terms of the trust as spelled out in the master pooling and servicing agreement do not allow the
certificate holders to foreclose or to take part in controlling the deed of trust note. (see the

prospectus for HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset
Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-
AR6 as found on SEC website http://www.secinfo.com/d14D5a.u6SE7.htm#44f7 .)
As seen therein, the certificate holders, guarantors and deed of trust insurers bear the
losses but do not control the deed of trust. Servicers collect the payments from the homeowners
on behalf of the investors. The bulk of their income comes from a percentage payment on the
outstanding principal balance in the pool; the bulk of their net worth is tied to the value of the
deed of trust servicing rights they purchased. A servicer may or may not lose money—or lose it in
the same amounts or on the same scale—when an investor loses money. And it is servicers, not
investors, who are making the day-to-day, on the ground, decisions as to whether or not to modify
any given loan. Servicers continue to receive most of their income from acting as largely
automated pass-through accounting entities, whose mechanical actions are performed offshore
or by personified computer systems.
As the document shows, their entire business model is predicated on making money by
skimming profits from what they are collecting: through a fixed percentage of the total loan pool,
fees charged homeowners for default, interest income on the payments during the time the
servicer holds them before they are turned over to the owners, and affiliated business
arrangements. Servicers make their money largely through lucky or strategic investment
decisions: purchases of the right pool of deed of trust servicing rights and the correct interest
hedging decisions. Performing large numbers of loan modifications would cost servicers
upfront money in fixed overhead costs, including staffing and physical infrastructure.
As established in the Prospectus herein referenced , The so-called trust is organized as a
special purpose vehicle (“SPV”). The SPV is organized by the securitizer so that the assets of the
SPV are shielded from the creditors of the securitizer. The SPV follows the rules prescribed by
the I.R.S. to qualify for treatment as a REMIC so that only the certificate holders but not the trust
are taxed. Double taxation of the deed of trust proceeds to the trust and then to the certificate
holder is avoided by “passing through” all the income to the certificate holders. The SPV is
accordingly a weak repository not engaged in active management of the assets. For this
purpose, a servicing agent is appointed. Moreover, all legal and equitable interest in the deed
of trusts are passed through to the certificate holders.
As established in the Prospectus herein referenced, a typical deed of trust pool consists of
anywhere from 2000-5000 loans. This is millions of dollars in cash flow payments each MONTH
from a Servicer (receiving payments from borrowers) to a REMIC (Trust) with the cash
flow “passing through” the Trust (RE IC) without taxation to the investors. The investors have to

pay taxes on the cash flow payments from their interests just for the record. The taxes a Trust
would have to pay on $30, 50 or 100 million dollars per year if this “pass through” taxation benefit
didn’t exist would be enormous. In addition, if a Trust that was organized in February 2005 were
found to have violated the REMIC guidelines outlined in the Internal Revenue Code, at $4 million
per month in cash flow, there would be $190 Million or more now in TAXABLE income due to
have tax paid upon it by the REMIC.
If a Trust - or a Servicer or Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust - were found to have
violated these very strict REMIC guidelines to qualify as a REMIC, the taxable status of the
REMIC can be revoked; the equivalent of financial Armageddon for the Trust and its investors.
As established in the Prospectus herein referenced , A REMIC can be structured as an
entity (i.e., partnership, corporation, or trust) or simply as a segregated pool of assets, so long as
the entity or pool meets certain requirements regarding the composition of assets and the nature
of the investors’ interests. No tax is imposed at the RE IC level. To qualify as a RE IC, all of the
interests in the RE IC must consist of one or more classes of “regular interests” and a single
class of “residual interests.” Regular interests can be issued in the form of debt, stock,
partnership interests, or trust certificates, or any other form of securities, but must provide the
holder the unconditional right to receive a specified principal amount and interest payments.
REMIC regular interests are treated as debt for Federal tax purposes. A residual interest in a
REMIC, which is any REMIC interest other than a regular interest, is, on the other hand, taxable
as an equity interest.
As established in the Prospectus herein referenced, In order for the Trust to qualify as a REMIC,
all steps in the “contribution” and transfer process (of the notes) must be true and complete sales
between the parties and within the three month time limit from the Startup Day. Therefore, every
transfer of the Note(s) must be a true purchase and sale, and, consequently the Note must
be endorsed from one entity to another. Any deed of trust note/asset identified for
inclusion in a Trust seeking a REMIC status MUST be deposited into the Trust within the
three month time period calculated from the official Startup Day of the REMIC as per
Section 860 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Securitization effectively severs financial responsibility for losses from the authority to
incur or avoid losses. Foreclosure avoids litigation from disgruntled certificate holders
who could claim a deed of trust modification improperly resulted in a financial loss. Under
the original deed of trust, the party deciding to foreclose was the party suffering any loss resulting

from foreclosure. With securitization the deed of trust is converted so the party making the
decision to foreclose does not bear the loss resulting from foreclosure but avoids the
liability which could result if a class of certificate holders claimed wrongful injury resulting
from a modification made to achieve an alternate dispute resolution. By separating the
incidence of loss from the authority to foreclose, the original note has been altered
resulting in a change to the deed of trust without the consent of the trustor.
Securitization also converts the deed of trust by rendering it unalienable. Once certificates have
been issued, the note cannot be transferred, sold or conveyed.
An assignee of a deed of trust and note assigned as collateral security is the real party in interest,
holds legal title to the deed of trust and the note, and is the proper party to file suit to foreclose
the deed of trust . Lawyers Title Ins. Co., Inc. v. Novastar Mortg., Inc., 862 So.2d 793 (App. 4
Dist.2003), rehearing denied, review denied 880 So.2d 1212. In the case of a securitization, the
certificate holders become the proper party to bring foreclosure because they own and hold the
note outright and not as a pledge of collateral.
It appears their inability to alienate and/or sell the note after securitization has no adverse
consequences for the maker/ borrower who is the debtor.
Recent history disproves this conclusion. Several legislative and executive efforts to pursue
alternate dispute resolution and provide financial relief to distressed homeowners have been
thwarted by the inability of the United States Government to buy securitized deeds of trust
without purchasing most of the certificates issued.
An SPV cannot sell a deed of trust to the United States which is owned by different
classes of certificate holders. The certificate holders likewise cannot sell the deeds of trust. All
they have are the securities held each of which can be publicly traded.
Failure to obtain the consent of the trustor to subsequent securitization of the deed of trust and
note renders the deed of trust unenforceable against him as its securitization constitutes an
alteration of the instrument, not on its face, but by change of the nature and use of the instrument
from that for which it was given by the trustor, the Plaintiff, i.e. to secure her payment of the note.
As now Plaintiff’s deed of trust and note are being used as un-registered securities to
collateralize certificates issued under a master pooling and servicing agreement dated May 1,
2006, by which all legal and equitable interest in the instruments was transferred to the certificate
holders.
As cited above, Securitization effectively severs financial responsibility for losses from the
authority to incur or avoid losses. Foreclosure avoids litigation from disgruntled certificate
holders who could claim a deed of trust modification improperly resulted in a financial

loss. Under the original deed of trust, the party deciding to foreclose was the party suffering any
loss resulting from foreclosure. With securitization the deed of trust is converted so the party
making the decision to foreclose does not bear the loss resulting from foreclosure but
avoids the liability which could result if a class of certificate holders claimed wrongful
injury resulting from a modification made to achieve an alternate dispute resolution.
The deed of trust is a security agreement between the creditor and debtor to secure repayment of
the loan by encumbering collateral for the benefit of the creditor. In California, non-judicial
foreclosures are conducted by a duly appointed trustee. There can be no disagreement that the
deed of trust provides that the agreement may not be modified or amended by one party without
the prior written consent of the other.
The master pooling and servicing agreement which is the organic document creating the
mortgage backed securities changes the terms and conditions of the deed of trust. The changes
are made unilaterally by the holder of the deed of trust as a successor to the original beneficiary
named in the deed of trust. The changes are made without the consent of the trustor. These
changes restrict the ability of those making the financial decisions for the trust to modify the deed
of trust. See, e.g., Anna Gelpern & Adam J. Levitin, Rewriting Frankenstein Contracts: Workout

When the parties executed the deed of trust, the trustor was neither obligated to agree to an
alternate dispute resolution in the event of a default nor restricted from entering an alternate
dispute resolution. When signing the deed of trust, the trustor neither knew, nor had reason to
know that a successor in interest to the beneficiary would subsequently self impose restrictions
upon modification of the deed of trust and create liability for itself if it agreed to alternate dispute
resolution.
The master pooling and servicing agreement creates restrictions upon modification of the
promissory note by:

(a) Imposing the restrictions on deed of trust modification required to be made to qualify for
pass through tax treatment under IRS regulations.
(b) Imposing restrictions upon the number of deed of trusts in the pool which may be
modified.
(c) Providing a procedure and fees to be paid for foreclosure but no procedure to modifying
the loan as an alternate dispute resolution.
(d) Creating securities with classes of ownership (“tranches”) with adverse and opposing
financial interests resulting in so called “tranche warfare” so that a modification which
favors one tranche may work a detriment upon another.
(e) Restricting the ability to lower interest payments on the note.
(f) Restricting the ability to increase the number of payments to be made.
(g) Restricting the ability to defer payments.
(h) Restricting the ability to extend the term of the deed of trust.
(i) Restricting the ability to impose a temporary moratorium on payments.
(j) Restricting the ability to accept “short sales”.
(k) Creating potential liability to a specific class of certificate holders by entering into a
modification agreement required for an alternate dispute resolution.
(l) Requiring the servicing agent to purchase any loan which has been modified.
By separating the incidence of loss from the authority to foreclose, the original note
and deed of trust has been altered resulting in a change to the deed of trust without the
consent of the trustor.
Because these restrictions were imposed by a subsequent transferee of the deed of trust without
the consent of the trustor, the deed of trust is unenforceable.
Further, as noted above securitization converts the deed of trust and note into unalienable
instruments which are not what they were or what was understood by the Plaintiff they were to
become, altering the nature and negotiability of the deed of trust and note without consent of the
trustor and the deed of trust is unenforceable for this reason .
Plaintiff alleges that he is entitled to equitable relief; including, restitution, disgorgement of profits
earned by defendants because of their unlawful and deceptive practices and attorneys fees and
costs, declaratory relief and a permanent injunction enjoining defendants from the unlawful
activity and enforcement of this contract..
The facts surrounding these allegations not having been fully developed, Plaintiff here reserves
the right to further plead facts and allegations in regard to this cause of action as may be found
or learned during the course of additional investigation and discovery.

SIXTH CAUSE OF ACTION
FRADULENT MISREPRESENTATION AS TO STANDING TO FORECLOSE
HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset Securities
Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-AR6
Defendant has acted to enforce the deed of trust.
HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset Securities Corporation,
Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-AR6 actions against Plaintiff’s
property in foreclosure is a wrongful and illegal act by FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION
AS TO STANDING TO FORECLOSE jeopardizing the title and possession of the Plaintiff to his
property that is the subject of this dispute in that the Defendant lacked JURISDICTION AND
STANDING TO ENFORCE THE RIGHTS OF CONTRACT in this case.
HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset Securities Corporation,
Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-AR6 is identified of public
record, and further affirmed and represented in Assignment of Deed of Trust exhibit AD and
other official documents as actual holder of the loan contract at the time of, and with the power to
exercise foreclosure in its name in this contract that led to its ownership of the property. .
Suit upon a note is a case at law. Foreclosure is an equitable remedy where the court sits in
equity. All courts sitting in equity are supposed to do equity between the parties. Demorizi v.
Demorizi, 851 So2d 243 (3rd Fla. App. 2003). The requirements to sue to collect a debt upon a
promissory note are different from the requirements to foreclose a deed of trust securing a debt
on a promissory note.
A deed of trust may only be enforced by a person legally entitled to foreclose on the debt
or such person’s representative, such as a nominee or trustee. An assignee of a deed of trust and
note assigned as collateral security is the real party in interest, holds legal title to the deed of trust
and the note, and is the proper party to file suit to foreclose the deed of trust. Lawyers Title Ins.
Co., Inc. v. Novastar Mortg., Inc., 862 So.2d 793 App. (4 Dist. 2003), rehearing denied, review
denied 880 So.2d 1212.
By transferring ownership and holding of the deed of trust then selling the promissory note
to certificate holders of a publicly traded security, the transfer negates the ability of the trustee or
servicing agent to sue as the owner or holder of the promissory note. A deed of trust cannot be
foreclosed on behalf of the owner and holder of a note who does not actually own or hold the
note. There is a difference between what is required to enforce a note and what is required to

enforce a deed of trust in foreclosure. The promissory note as a note remains enforceable but not
the deed of trust.
As publicly traded securities, the price, value and ownership of certificates are continually
in flux. As a collectivity, the certificate holders cannot appoint a representative for a continuously
changing collection of certificate holders with changing, competing and conflicting interests. The
certificate holders cannot appoint a representative to act as an agent for purposes of foreclosure
because the principal cannot convey power and authority to an agent which the principal lacks. If
the principal is incapacitated to foreclose, mutatis mutandi, so is the agent.
Pursuant to the portions of the IRS Code herein cited, To avoid double taxation of the trust and
the certificate holders and obtain a single event tax treatment from the Internal Revenue Service,
deeds of trust are held in Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (“RE ICS”). To qualify for
the single taxable event, all interest in the deed of trust must be transferred forward to the
certificate holders. The legal basis of REMICs was established by the Tax Reform Act of 1986
(100 Stat. 2085, 26 U.S.C.A. §§ 47, 1042), which eliminated double taxation from these
securities. The principal advantage of forming REMICs for the sale of mortgage-backed securities
is that REMICs are treated as pass-through vehicles for tax purposes helping avoid double-
taxation. For instance, in most mortgage-backed securitizations, the owner of a pool of mortgage
loans (the Sponsor or Master Servicer usually) sells and transfers such loans to a special
purpose entity, usually a trust, that is designed specifically to qualify as a REMIC, and,
simultaneously, the special purpose entity issues securities that are backed by cash flows
generated from the transferred assets to investors in order to pay for the loans along with a
certain return. If the special purpose entity or the assets transferred qualify as a REMIC, then any
income of the RE IC is “passed through” and taxable to the holders of the RE IC Regular
Interests and Residual Interests.
Accordingly neither the trustee nor the servicing agent for the trust have a legal or equitable
interest in the securitized loans. Often, the servicing agent for the loan will appear to enforce the
loan, but the servicing agent does not have standing, for only a person who is the holder of the
note has standing to enforce the note. See, e.g., In re Hwang, 2008 WL 4899273 at Bank of
New York v. Williams, 979 So.2d 347 (Fla.App. 1 Dist.,2008). District Court of Appeal of Florida,
First District.

The servicing agent may have standing if acting as an agent for the holder, assuming that the
agent can both show agency status and that the principal is the holder. See, e.g., In re Vargas,
396 B.R. 511 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 2008) at 520. The Defendants HSBC Bank USA. National
Association alleges that Defendant HSBC Bank USA. National Association is the holder of the
note for purposes of standing to bring an action of foreclosure. This is a legal impossibility and,
accordingly, a false assertion. Defendants HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee
for Wells Fargo Asset Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates
Series 2007-AR6 were instrumental in the issuance and sale of the certificate to certificate
holders. This means the Defendants knew that they were not any longer the holder of the
rights to the contract.
Only the certificate holders have standing. Hypothetically, HSBC Bank N/A may have derivative
standing to foreclose as the representative and nominee of the certificate holders. The servicing
agent may have standing if acting as an agent for the holder, assuming that the agent can both
show agency status and that the principle is the holder. See, e.g., In re Vargas, 396 B.R. 511
(Bankr. C.D. Cal. 2008) at 520. But there is yet no evidence of competent fact witness that
HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset Securities Corporation,
Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-AR6 has been appointed to act
on behalf of the certificate holders and that the certificate holders have conferred the
power and authority upon the Defendant necessary to bring an action in foreclosure.
Absent this, Defendant’s action in foreclosure is fraudulent.
Wells Fargo Asset Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates Series 2007-AR6 is a statutory trust under Delaware Statutory law which,
according to its prospectus as found on the Securities and Exchange Commission web
site http://www.secinfo.com/d14D5a.u6SE7.htm#44f7 , is a specifically created
investment vehicle that issues securities “backed” or supported by mortgage
financial assets.
Attached is a Memorandum of law of the United States Trustee in support of sanctions
against JP Morgan Chase Bank, National Association. This Memorandum is a brief
concerning a bankruptcy case that involved Chase, Long Beach Mortgage, Long Beach
Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-2, Long Beach securities, WaMu, Deutsche Bank and Lender
Processing Service (LPS). (exhibit MS). In further support there is submitted articles from

And a redacted affidavit from one of the cases referenced (exhibit AR).
According to the authorities therein cited in the affidavit and memoranda, In tens of
thousands of foreclosure cases filed by trustees for a mortgage-backed trust, the trustee
for the Asset Trust has used specially prepared Mortgage Assignments to show that they
have the right to foreclose.
These documented authorities spell out in the cases referenced the same thing the facts
show to have happened in this case:
According to Lynn E. Szymoniak, Certified Fraud Examiner and Expert Witness for
the federal Government in Insurance Regulatory and Fraud Matters in the action
for sanctions in the cases referenced and in U.S. v. Michael Zapetis, et al.,
8:2006cr00026, Middle District of Florida; U.S. v. Thomas D. King, 3:2006cr00212,
Middle District of Florida; U.S. v. Donald E. Touchet, Richard E. Standridge and
Robert J. Jennings, 3:2007cr00090, Middle District of Florida, 2008 WL 111306M;
affirmed, United States v. Jennings, Case No. 08-13434 (11th Cir. Jan. 5, 2010) The
People of the State of California v. Mitchell Zogob, Orange County, California; U.S.
v. James Kernan, 5:2008cr00061, Northern District of New York; if a loan was put
into a trust with a closing date in the pooling and servicing agreement in 2007, ( in
this case November 25, 2007 ) or if the trust indentures show that it was suppose
to be put in that trust and follow a chain of ownership until it ended up in that trust
by a certain date (closing date of the trust November 25, 2007 ), any assignments
after that closing date, are actually an Assignment specially, and in many cases,
fraudulently, made to facilitate foreclosures.
As she states, In all of these thousands of cases, no Assignment actually took place on
the date stated and no consideration was paid by the grantee to the grantor despite the
representations in the Assignments. Most significantly, no disclosure was ever made to
the Court in the foreclosure or bankruptcy case or to the homeowners in default that the
original Assignments to the Trust were never made or were defective and that the
recently-filed Assignments were specially made to facilitate foreclosures years after
the property was already transferred if in fact it had been.

As she states in these articles, “In the rush to securitize residential mortgages, many
securities companies did not secure the essential paperwork. In particular, many trusts
have missing Mortgage Assignments. This is true even though the trust documents set
forth plainly that such Assignments shall have been delivered to the Trust by the loan
originators by a set closing date.”
According to these authorities, (the originator) should have delivered a signed and dated
Assignment to the Trust Depositor, which ultimately should have resulted in delivery of a
signed and dated Assignment to the trustee, in 2007.
According to these authorities, and as may be found in the prospectus and other official
governing documents for these investment vehicles, upon examination, such Mortgage-
backed trust contains very specific provisions regarding conveyances of mortgages, notes
and Assignments and most often even include the form that each document custodian
must sign attesting to the delivery and acceptance of such documents.
Further, according to these authorities herein cited, Mortgage-backed trusts are
not allowed under their own rules to acquire non-performing loans after the closing
date of the trust and add such loans to the trust because of significant additional
tax liability to the trust if it adds properties in violation of its own documents.
These rules are in place to protect the investors in the trust.
In addition, Mortgage Backed Securities Trusts do not acquire loans after the closing
date of the trust because they are prohibited from doing so under the Internal
Revenue Code, as evidenced by a 100% penalty tax on such prohibited transactions.
According to these authorities and as confirmed under the very strict rules of its operation
to protect the investors as found in the prospectus and other official governing documents
for this investment vehicle, ( as found on the self authenticating official Securities and
Exchange Commission website, http://www.secinfo.com/d14D5a.u6SE7.htm#44f7 ,
where either the Mortgage Backed Securities Trust lacked title to the mortgage, or
shows assignment to it after the start-up period, the REMIC requirements for a static

pool of qualified mortgages were breached. The notes were not “qualified mortgages”
under IRC §860G and the Mortgage Backed Securities Trust received income from
borrowers NOT attributable to a qualified mortgage or permitted investment. And under
IRC §860F, the Mortgage Backed Securities Trust will owe a 100% penalty tax.
Pursuant to IRC §860G, all assignments to the Mortgage Backed Securities Trust after
the REMIC start-up period are subject to a 100% penalty tax.
Further, pursuant to IRC§ 61, all the payments made from borrowers to the Mortgage
Backed Securities Trust in relation to notes and mortgage loans not so protected by
assignment to the Mortgage Backed Securities Trust prior the REMIC start-up period
represent gross income and are subject to federal income taxes.
Again, as a consequence, according to Ms. Szymoniak, if a loan was put into a trust with
a closing date in the pooling and servicing agreement in 2007 or if the trust indentures
show that it was suppose to be put in that trust and follow a chain of ownership until it
ended up in that trust by a certain date (closing date of the trust), as in the case of the
assignment of this loan, any assignments after that closing date is actually an Assignment
specially, or fraudulently made after the fact to legitimize a chain of title to facilitate
foreclosure.
As a consequence of these facts affirmed, this is evidence that the assignment to this
present claimed holder of rights to this contract is invalid if not fraudulent or
illegal. Or that No Assignment actually took place on the date stated and no
consideration was paid by the grantee to the grantor despite the representations in the
Assignments.
Most significantly, no disclosure was ever made to the Court in the foreclosure or in this
bankruptcy case or to the homeowners in default that the original Assignments to the
Trust were never made or were defective and that the recently-filed Assignments were
specially made to facilitate foreclosures years after the fact.
The record in this case shows exactly that. The Debt instruments of this contract were
not assigned to HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset

Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-
AR6 by the then present holder, until April 7, 2009, some 18 months after the closing
date of November 25, 2007 see exhibit AS attached, for the REMIC start-up period
and of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as confirmed in the prospectus for this
investment vehicle. Therefore, based on the documentation and expert testimony of
these authorities in this and other cases herein cited, with the documents in this case,
this is prima facie evidence that the assignment of plaintiff’s mortgage to
defendant is shown to be invalid, if not illegal or fraudulent as these others were,
voiding the standing of the Claimant as the assignment was made solely to
facilitate foreclosure and proves no ownership of Plaintiff’s loan whatever by the
Claimant and on this basis this claim of the Defendant is invalid and/or fraudulent.
As a proximate result of these fraudulent misrepresentations and failures of disclosure and
Plaintiff’s justifiable reliance upon the same, the Plaintiff has been damaged by denying him the
right to full disclosure of these fraudulent misrepresentations by which he would have had the
cause, incentive and opportunity to make defenses against enforcement of the contract he
now faces.
Plaintiff did not discover either the nature or the extent of this FRAUD AND DECEIT, and
MISREPRESENTATION perpetrated upon him by the Defendants until a date on or about August
2010.
Defendants’ actions in foreclosure in the name of HSBC Bank USA. National Association as
Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates Series 2007-AR6 was fraudulent, misleading, and with callous disregard for the rights
of said Plaintiff, with the intention that the Plaintiff would be deceived and placed at
unconscionable disadvantage and abuse at the hands of the Defendants.
As a proximate result of Defendants’ actions in foreclosure, Plaintiff has suffered damages and is
made to suffer loss thereby in the amount of the market value of the property at the time such
spurious sale and Defendant should be ordered to make full reconveyance of said property
to Plaintiff or the Court should restore and quiet title to the security and benefit of the
Plaintiff if it has been sold to a third party by the time these issues are adjudicated by the
Court.

Plaintiff prays the Court for this relief and that it be so ordered.
41.Further, HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset Securities
Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-AR6 are not the
holder in due course because they are not the drawer, maker, issuer, originator and do not
have attachment, enforceability, secured interest, or priority. As these terms are defined in
UCC 9-203 (a)(b) and priority in Sections UCC 9-301 and UCC 9-317.
42. According to section UCC 3-302 (c) “a person does not acquire rights of a holder
in due course of an instrument taken (i) by legal process or by purchase in an execution.”
43. In UCC 3-106(d) “If a promise or order at the time it is issued or first comes into
the possession of a holder contains a statement, required by applicable statutory or
administrative law, to the effect that the rights of a holder or transferee are subject to claims or
defenses that the issuer [you] could assert against the original payee [bank], the promise, or
order is not thereby made conditional for the purposes of Section UCC 3-104(a); but if the
promise or order is an instrument, there cannot be a holder in due course of the instrument.”
Plaintiff is the true holder in due course and the only person who can assert a claim or defense
under UCC 3-305, 3-306 & 3-307 (California Commercial Code 3305, 3306, 3307 respectively).
44. The note signed by Plaintiff as the drawer/maker became a financial asset under UCC
8-102(9) and a security under UCC 8-102 (9)(i), (15), which makes Plaintiff the Appropriate
person under section UCC 8-107 and gives Plaintiff control under UCC section 8-106, which in
turn gives Plaintiff “Security entitlement” under UCC 8-102 (17), which makes Plaintiff the
“Entitlement holder” under UCC 8-102(7), which generates an “Entitlement order” under UCC 8-
102(8).
45. WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff moves this court to release the lien and restore quiet title to
Plaintiff.
46, The facts surrounding these allegations not having been fully developed, Plaintiff here
reserves the right to further plead facts and allegations in regard to this cause of action as may
be found or learned during the course of additional investigation and discovery.

The Trustee’s Sale (the sale date has been cancelled at this time) should be disallowed by
this Court because the deed of trust is unenforceable and because the Defendants lack
standing.
A. The deed of trust is unenforceable because:
1. The trustor never consented to the securitization of the deed of trust
2. A subsequent transferee of the deed of trust modified the deed of trust by imposing
restrictions upon the holder’s ability to modify the deed of trust without the consent of
the trustor.
3. A subsequent transferee of the deed of trust converted the deed of trust by
restricting its transferability and dividing incidence of loss from authority to foreclose
without the consent of the trustor.
4. A subsequent transferee of the deed of trust modified the deed of trust without
consideration.
B. Defendant HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset
Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-AR6
lacked standing to foreclose because:
(1) Defendant HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset
Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-
AR6 does not own or hold the rights to enforce the contract;
(2) Defendant HSBC Bank USA. National Association as Trustee for Wells Fargo Asset
Securities Corporation, Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-
AR6 does not and cannot act as the agent for the certificate holders for purposes
of foreclosure; and

(3) The Notice of Default was void, thus rendering the subsequent recordings void as
well. Select Portfolio Servicing Inc. was not the trustee of record with the ability to
conduct the foreclosure.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff having set forth the claims for relief against Defendants,
respectfully prays that this Court grant the following relief against the Defendants:
1. Actual Economic and Non-Economic Damages;
2. For a declaration of the rights and duties of the parties relative to Plaintiff’s Home
to determine the actual status and validity of the loan, Deed of Trust, and Notice of
Default.
3. For a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction and permanent
injunction enjoining all Defendants, their agents, assigns, and all person acting under, for,
or in concert with them, from taking possession of or selling, offering, or advertising this
property for sale, or transferring or conveying the property located at 1542 Larkspur Ct.
Oakley, California while a question of title still exists in Superior Court.
4. Restoration of title to Plaintiff;
5. For damages as provided by statute;
6. For an Order enjoining Defendants from continuing to violate the statutes alleged
herein;
7. For punitive damages;
8. For consequential and incidental damages of $1,000,000.00;
9. For such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper.
