"Produce The Note Strategy" By California Attorney, Michael Rooney, Esq.
http://mikerooneylaw.com

“What is "produce the note"?  Produce the note is a defensive strategy that
you can use to fight foreclosure and force the bank to prove that you owe it
any money at all. In courts of law, the plaintiff has a "burden of proof",
meaning that it has to put forth evidence that shows everything it says is
actually true. However, when the plaintiff makes claims that the defendant
does not challenge, then the court usually accepts the Plaintiff's claims on
face value on the basis that you had a chance to contradict them and
didn't.  When you say "produce the note" what you are doing is challenging
the bank's assertion that you owe it money, that it has a mortgage on your
house, and that it has the right to foreclose on you at all. One attorney has
estimated that nearly 50% of mortgages have been lost or destroyed in the
carnage of all the selling, pooling, servicing, tranching, and defrauding that
went on in the years from 2001-2008 in the American Secondary Mortgage
Market. 50-50 is pretty good odds of YOUR note coming up missing.

When Its Used:
Generally, during the discovery phase of litigation is the best time to
employ "Produce the Note". That is, after you have sued the bank (say, for
Quiet Title), or the bank has sued you (i.e., foreclosure). Discovery is the
process by which each side of a pending lawsuit gets to ask the other side
for all of the pertinent information with which it intends to prove its
claims. For example, if you sue the bank for Quiet Title, then both parties
have a right to request all the evidence in the other party's possession. The
most basic piece of evidence here would be a "Note", which is the financial
term for "mortgage" or other debt. Without a mortgage, then there is no
document proving that you and the bank have an agreement, and
therefore, the bank cannot prove its foreclosure claim against you.

Some proponents of "Produce the Note" suggest that ANYTIME is a good
time for "Produce the Note" - even if there is no lawsuit going on. In some
cases it may work, but the problem here is that there is no right to
discovery outside of litigation. therefore, if you are not in foreclosure and
you want to get the bank to have to produce the note, then find an attorney
to evaluate your case for a quiet title case against whichever entity has a
mortgage recorded against your home. Chances are, if the mortgage was
sold more than once, SOMEONE forgot to make all the proper recordations,
and you may just end up with your home free from any outstanding liens.  
Third, an alternative used in bankruptcy, is to file Chapter 13 and list the
bank note - NOT AS SECURED DEBT - but as UNSECURED DEBT. Similar to
the discovery tactics above, this puts the bank of having to PROVE its
mortgage in order to get the bankruptcy court to treat the debt as secured
rather than unsecured debt.

How To Do It Right:
As hinted at above, if you want to get the most out of Produce the Note, you
will wait until your guns are fully loaded: i.e., you are a party to an
ongoing case, with a due process right to discovery. Send a "Request for
Production of Documents" to the lender or servicer and demand
examination of the original mortgage note at a place of your choosing. If
the bank hasn't complied within 30 days, file a Motion to Compel
Discovery. In your motion, refer the court to your proper Request for
Production of Documents and to the bank's responses. Point out the bank's
failure to comply with your request for it to produce the mortgage which it
claims gives it a right to record a claim against your title, and ask the judge
to compel discovery. If the bank has lost the note, then it will further fail to
comply. At that point, file a motion to dismiss the bank's foreclosure action
or at the very least to bar any evidence of a mortgage note as penalty for
failure to comply with the court's order. It will be impossible for the bank
to win. In the alternative, in a quiet title action, if the bank cannot comply,
then you will be primed to win.”
