    Case No. 08-CV-0100

  • Green Tree Servicing, LLC for Bank of America, N.A. et al. v. Lawrence Jenkins and Lula Iniguez

    PA - Johnson & Silver, LLP, J-Susan Criss

    On April 1, 1997, Jenkins negotiated the purchase of a manufactured house. Various divisions of the Bank of America, including BankAmerica Housing Services, became the secured lienholder by Retail Installment Contract and Title to the house.

    Since October 12, 2007, the Defendant Jenkins has failed and refused to make payments pursuant to the terms of the contract and security agreement. Indebtedness was then accelerated. As of January 31, 2008, Green Tree/ B.O.A. says that Jenkins owes $40,753.70 to the bank or whatever banking entity is foreclosing.

    At some time, Lawrence Jenkins attempted to transfer possession of the manufactured house to Lula Iniguez. Green Tree/B.O.A. says that Iniguez has no contractual relationship with Green Tree and that Iniguez must peacefully surrender the house to Green Tree.

    Green Tree says that after January 23, 2008, Greentree had the right to immediate possession, and Iniguez has assumed dominion and control over the house. Fair market value is now $31,380, and Iniguez is being sued.

    Green Tree seeks an order from District Court for the Sheriff to seize the house.

    Green Tree seeks payment of $40,753.70 and interest computed as if Jenkins had prepaid the contract in full. Reasonable attorney's fees are asked in the amount of $200.00 per hour.
