…that’s what this substitute trustee’s notice of sale in a Mississippi newspaper seems to say.
Here’s the ad (I’d link to it, but it will be gone by the end of the day):
“

Notice the bold passage above–it lists all the typical things the MERS deed of trust says, i.e., that the borrower delivered a deed to the trustee, that MERS is the nominee for Countrywide…but this notice of sale says that Countrywide is the beneficiary.
MERS deeds of trust ALL say that MERS, not the “lender”–in this case, supposedly Countrywide–is the beneficiary. I signed a MERS deed of trust a few months prior to this woman in the same city and state, involving the same parties: Recontrust, MERS, Countrywide. My deed of trust says in bold print that MERS is the beneficiary. I’m assuming this woman’s deed of trust says the same thing.
So is this notice of sale a tacit admission that the deed of trust is defective (I believe it is even without this particular set of facts, but still)? That is, since the deed of trust almost certainly names MERS and not Countrywide as the beneficiary, that would seem to me to render either the deed of trust or the notice of sale void. I should point out that I haven’t seen this particular deed with my own eyes, but unless there is something unusual about this one deed, it will say that MERS, not Countrywide, is the beneficiary.
And of course, as usual, neither Fannie Mae nor Freddie Mac are mentioned anywhere in this notice of sale, but I’m sure that’s who this borrower would be told is “the investor,” i.e., either Fannie or Freddie.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I look at a lot of trustee sale notices and haven’t noticed this particular turn of phrase. Is this the way they’re doing it now?
