Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, July 21, 2010 Page 8 State suing financial institutions for PERS losses Oregon is suing Countrywide Financial Corp. of Delaware and its underwriters for misleading inves- tors into buying risky mortgage- backed securities, said state Treas- urer Ted Wheeler and Attorney General John Kroger. That alleged deceit ultimately cost Oregon: The Oregon Public Employee Retirement Fund was induced to invest $200 million into home loans originated by Country- wide, and lost $29 million as a re- sult of misrepresentations by Coun- trywide and its financial underwrit- ers, the lawsuit states. “Oregon is taking a stand against predatory lenders and the financial wreckage they caused for families and for investors including Oregonians,” said Wheeler. “With this lawsuit, we are attempting to recover losses from lenders that took advantage of innocent fami- lies, whose only fault was wanting to participate in the American dream and own a home.” Said Kroger, “Oregon is cur- rently No. 3 nationwide in foreclo- sures. This lawsuit will hold the responsible companies account- able.” With the action, Oregon is partnering with the Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System, which is the lead plaintiff in the case. Along with the Oregon Public Employee Retirement System, other plaintiffs are the General Board of Pension and Health Bene- fits of the United Methodist Church and the Orange County Employ- ees’ Retirement System. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in California, accuses Coun- trywide of violating securities law by making statements to investors that were materially false and mis- leading because they misrepre- sented and/or failed to disclose information crucial to investors’ ability to accurately assess the risks of their investments. According to the lawsuit, from 2005 through 2007, Countrywide was the nation’s largest residential mortgage lender originating in ex- cess of $850 billion in home loans throughout the United States in 2005 and 2006 alone. The lawsuit alleges that Coun- trywide’s ability to originate resi- dential mortgages on such a mas- sive scale was facilitated, in large part, by its ability to rapidly pack- age -- or “securitize” -- those loans and then, through the activities of the underwriter defendants, sell them to investors as purportedly investment grade mortgage-backed securities. The suit says that Countrywide provided documents that falsely claimed that all the mortgage loans held in the investment fund met accepted underwriting standards for evaluating prospective buyers’ credit history and ability to repay LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR THE COUNTY OF JOSEPHINE In the Matter of the Estate of: NEALE EUGENE SHUMAKER, Deceased.

NOTICE TO RESIDEN- TIAL TENANTS The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is sched- uled for 10/28/2010. Unless the lender who is foreclosing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a resi- dential dwelling under a legitimate rental agree- ment. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the busi- ness or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an evic- tion notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale hap- pens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROP- ERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU A NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIR- ING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPY- ING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TEN- ANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFEC- TIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE RE- QUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL AP- PLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six- month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to- week rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you a notice under state law, you must prove to the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupy- ing and renting this property as a residential dwell- ing under a legitimate rental agreement. The name and address of the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE". You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 9/28/2010 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not have a written rental agree- ment or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent paid. ABOUT YOUR SECU- RITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in ad- vance against the current rent you owe your land- lord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The busi- ness or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORE- CLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Other- wise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not re- sponsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LAND- LORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO AN- OTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHER- WISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT OR RENT YOU PREPAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NO- TICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMA- TION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER.
