Jody also appears for Autovest,LLC, a junk debt buyer, of some old accounts of Wells Fargo stamped signed by Darren Kazich to Autovest,LLC en masse. The lawsuits are
ReplyDeleteform templates which do not include any reference to the UCC deficiency sale being commercially reasonable. The Wells Fargo en masse assignment specifically excludes any warranty regarding the sale of the loans. Auto cannot produce the notes or the security agreements. Some of the auto contracts were executed in States other than Texas. "LEARN TO READ THE DOCUMENTS FOR WHAT IS NOT THERE."
The notary in Michigan for all the affidavit signers for Autovest is one, Beverly Mainor, of Wayne County but acting in Oakland County, Michigan.
Michigan notary law like many states have separate and distinct requirements for corporate signatures as opposed to individual signatures. These must be looked at in every case as there are some notaries who have been caught notarizing OVER 15,000
AFFIDAVITS each month. eg. FIA CARD SERVICES, notary,Peggy Richardson.
I am currently involved in a case with the mysterious Darren Kazich stamped signature. He is claiming to be a Wells Fargo rep. Many things on the "Installment Contract" do not match up. This has been brought to the attention of the Judge and he is in agreement. I am a huge believer in reading the fine print and glad i did so in this case. It may have saved me over a years worth of income....
DeleteGood for you--"you can see a lot just by looking" Yogi Berra.
DeleteNot only is it a stamp of Darren Kazich ( for the tens of thousands of alleged assignments) it is also NOT the original assignment-- (Google AUTOVEST AND WELLS FARGO AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT and go to dalie.org
for actual purchase documents.)
from Wells Fargo--Moreover, Darren Kazich has never worked for Wells fargo but rather is an employee of a related company of Autovest's owner. Many of these documents are generated from the Southfield, Michigan office of debt collector Michael Andrews and Associates.
Ask for Kazich's power of attorney to sign documents for Wells fargo and then post here.
This will save you and many others.
The power of the pen is mightier….
