Bank of America has been been having foreclosure documents notarized BEFORE the paperwork was begun! Many of the notarized signatures were also forgeries. This was done maybe 10,000 times a month. Bank of America said it was all a bureaucratic snafu. People that refused to notarize known forgeries were fired, the bank said that was also a bureaucratic snafu.

The thread is about corrupt bankers misusing notaries.

Maybe it's ME that's confused!

It's about foreclosures, not safe-deposit boxes. Nor (thinking ahead here) has it got anything whatsoever to do with NSAs.

PWinFL Posted - 10/31/2010 : 5:31:51 PM
I'm sure you mean safe-deposit boxes, not bank deposit boxes (such as the night repository).

Generally, bank notaries are not allowed to do the inventory of safe-deposit boxes. Some states, such as Florida, states that the notary must be present at the time the safe-deposit box is opened and may not be a director, officer, employee, or stockholder of the financial institution. An officer of the institution must also be present with the notary at the opening of the safe-deposit box. [Source: Florida Governor's Reference Manual for Notaries, 2001] (F.S. 655.94(1))

These banks have been “caught” doing this… caught in the act, as it were. Banks forging documents and robo-signing affidavits to be presented to the court in order to seize someone’s property… banks doing this… not used car dealers… not sales-crazed mortgage companies… banks… large, to-big-to-fail-type banks. The kind of institutions that require multiple signatures, state identification cards and even fingerprints before cashing someone’s check for $5. One might consider, the type of institutions that should be the least likely to condone forgery and fraud where documents are concerned.
