interest to LaSalle Bank NA, as trustee, on behalf of the holders of the WaMu Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-OAI ("U.S. Banlc"), is, upon information arid

Portfolio Servicing, Inc. of3217 S. Decker Lake Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84119.
2: The Defendant; Susan E-' Burrage (the "Borrower"), is, upon information and belief, an
individual with a last known address of 13 Whale Cove Road, Rockport, MA O1966.
FACTS
3. By Quitclaim Beed dated October.31, 1997, the Borrower acquired title to the Property.
A true and accurate copy of ;aid Q-uit~lai~ ri~~d re~~-;:-d~ ~ithili~ E;~~~ c~~ty ' --- .
(Southern District) Registry of Deeds ("Registry") in Book 14406, Page 37 is attached
hereto as Exhibit A.
4. On or about December 19, 2006, the Borrower signed a Note made payable to
Mutual. A true and accurate redacted copy of the endorsed Note is attached hereto' as
ExhibitB.
5. On or about December 19, 2006, the Borrower granted a mortgage to Washington Mutual
I
securing the Note in the principal amount of amount $1,500,000.00 ("Mortgage").' The
mortgage defines the term "Lender" as the mortgagee under the security instrument, and
'
more specifically as Washington Mutual. See Exhibit C at 'II Definitions (C). A redacted
true and accurate copy of the Mortgage recorded with the Registry in Book 26450, Page
• 2
6. Washington Mutual failed in September, 2008. The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") was appointed as its receiver. Pursuant to its authority under the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C Section 1821 (d), the FDIC then sold to
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("Chase") all right, title, and interest in [Washington
7. On or about October 25, 2010, Chase assigned the Mortgage to Bank of America,
assignment was recorded on January 11, 2011 with the Registry in Book 30151, Page
491. A true and accurate redacted copy of the Assignment is attached hereto as Exhibit
D.
8. On March 11, 2016, the Borrower recorded an Affidavit with the Registry in Book
34768, Page 445, entitled "Affidavit Pursuant to G.L. c. 183 s. 5B" ("Borrowers' First
Affidavit"). The affidavit states that the assignment on record does not match the records
that the US Securities and Exchange Commission has for the Mortgage and therefore
there is a cloud on title. A true ap.d accurate copy of said First Affidavit is attached
hereto as Exhibit E.
9. On or about December 13, ·2017, Bank of America subsequently assigned the Mortgage
to U.S. Bank NA, successor trustee to Bank of America, NA, successor in interest to
LaSalle Bank NA, as trustee, on behalf of the holders of the WaMu Mortgage Pass-
Through Certificates, Series 2007-OA I. The assignment was recorded on February 20,
2018 with the Registry in Book 36536, Page 354. A true and accurate redacted copy of

10. On or about June 4, 2018, US Bank executed an affidavit regarding compliance with
M.G.L. c. 244 §§ 35B and 35C, which was recorded on June 13, 2018 with the Registry
in Book 36782,.Page 356 ("35B/C Affidavit"). The 35B/C Affidavit attests to the fact
that US Bank is the holder of the mortgage and the note. A true and accurate copy of the
11. On September 7, 2018, the Borrower recorded the Second Affidavit with the Registry in
Book 36996, Page 545, entitled "Affidavit of Lawful Ownership, Current Possession and
to Clarify Title Under G.L. c. 183,s. 5B" ("Borrowers' Second Affidavit"). A true and
12. Tlie Borro"".ers' Affidavit falsely claims that US Bank does not have the ability to
·············-····----- - - - - - - - - -
foreclose and that the note and mortgage are void. See Exhibit H.
13. On November 14, 2018, US Bank sold the Property at foreclosure auction, in which the
purchaser of the November 2018 foreclosure sale from obtaining clear title insurance and
15. US Bank now wishes to re-foreclose on the Property, however, its efforts have been
frustrated because a potential buyer would be unable to obtain clear title insurance due to
the cloud on title created by the recording of the Affidavits in the Registry of Deeds.
16. In order to exercise its statutory power of sale and foreclose on tl1e Property, US Bank
needs an order expunging and voiding the Affidavits recorded by the Borrower.
17. The Plaintiff repeats and realleges the allegations above as if fully set forth herein.:
4
18. The recording of the Affidavits by the Borrower has created a cloud on title frustrating
the US Bank's attempts to exercise its statutory power of sale to foreclose on the
Property.
20. The Plaintiff's rights, status, legal relations, and responsibilities will be adversely and
'
irreparably affected if the Court does not forthwith enter a Declaratory Judgment
21. The Affidavits should be procl!µllled null and void, and ofno cause or effect.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff, U.S. Bank NA, successor trustee to Bank of America, NA,
successor in interest to LaSalle Bank NA, as trustee, on behalf of the holders of the WaMu
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-OAJ prays that tl1is honorable court:
I. Enter a Declaratory Judgment expunging the Affidavits recorded with the Essex·county
(Southern District) Registry of Deeds in Book 34768, Page 445 and Book 36996, P:1ge
545;
2. Enter a Declaratory Judgment declaring the Affidavits recorded with the Essex County
(Southern District) Registry of Deeds in Book 34768, Page 445 and Book 36996, Page
3. Grant such other relief as this court deems just and appropriate.

• .. time without penalty accrued but unpaid interest that has been added to principal.
When l make a full or partial prepayment I will notify the Noteholder in writing that l am doing
so. Any partial prepayment of principal shall be applied to interest accrued on the amount prepaid and
then to the principal balance of the Note which shall not reduce the amount or monthly instnllmenls'o[
principal and interest (until reamortized as set forth in the Note at the nex-t Payment Change Date) nor
reHeve me of the obligation to make the installments each nnd every month until the Noto is paid in
Cull. Partial prepayments shall have no effect upon the due dates or the amounts of my monthly

Mortgage Insurance. 1
Mortgage i!ISllrers evaluate their total risk on all such insurance in force from time to' time,
· and may enter into agreements with other ~arties that share or modify their risk, or reduce losses.
These agreements are on terms and conditions that are satisfactory to 1he mortgage insurer and
the other party (or parties) to these agreemenm. These agreements may require the mortgage
insurer to make payments using any source of funds that the morti;age insurer may have available
(which may include funds obtained from l-49rtgago Insurance premiums). )
,.As a result of these agreements, Lender, any purchaoor of the Note, another insurer, any
reinsurer, any other entity, or any affiliate of any of the foregoing\ may receive (qiredlly or
indirectly) amounts that derive from (or might be characterized asi a portion of Borrower's
payments for Mortgage Insurance, in exchange for sharing or modifying the mortgage insurer's
risk, or reducing losses. If such agreement provides that an affiliate of Lender takes a share lo! the
insurer's risk in exchan&e for a share of the premiums paid to the insurer, the arrangement is

prepayment without any prepayment charge (whetlier or not a prepayment charge is provided for

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS, In addition lo the covenants and agreements made in the Securtty
Instrument, Borrower and Lender further covenant and agree as follows:
l
fiiot Change Dale (as de11ned in section 4 of the Note) I will pay interest at a yearly rate of
1 , ooo %. The Interest rate I will pay will thereafter change in accordance with Section 4 theof
Note.
Section 4 of the Note provides for changes in the interest rate and monthly payment as follows:
4. INTEREST RATE AND MONTHLY PAYMENT CHANGES I
(A) Change Dates
The interest rate I will pay may change on the 1ST day of
FEBRUARY 2007 and on that day every month !llerealler. Eaci\ such
day I~ caUed a "Change Date". , . I
(1:1) 'fh11 Index ·
On each Change Date, my interest rate will be based on an Index. The "Index" is the Twelve-
Month Averag!'), determi_ned as set forth below, of the annual yields on actively traded Unlted·states
Trear;;ury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year as published by the Federal Reserve
Board In the Federal Reserve Slatistlcal Release entitled "Selected Interest Rates (H.15X" (the

forthe most recently available twelve months and dividing by 12. I
The most recent Index figure available as of the-date 15 days before each Change Date is called
the "Current Index". I
If the Index Is no longer available, the Note Holder will choose a new index .which is based upon
comparable informatio. n. Ttie Note Holder will give me notice of this choice. I
(C) Interest Rate Chan11e ·

TWO AND 5 s 11 oo percentage points
2,650 % ("l)!largln'~ to Current Index. The Note Holderwlll lhen round the result of this addllion to
the nearest one 1housandth of one percentage point (0.001%). Subject to the limits stated In Section
4(D) below, this rounded amount will be my new interest rate until the next Change Date. In lhe:event
a new ln_dex Is selected, pursuant to paragraph 4(B), a new Margin will be determined. The new
Margin will bo the difference between the average of the old Index for the most recent thre~ year
parted which ends on the last date the Index was available plus the Margin on the last date the old
Ind~ was available and the average of the new Index for the most recent three year period ~hich
ends on piat µ_ate (or If not available for such three year period, for such lime as ii is available). The
difference will be rounded lo the next higher 118 of 1%. I
(D) Interest Rate Limit I
My lnlerest rate will never be greater than !l, 850 % ("Cap'1, except that following any sale
or transfer of the. property which secures repayment of this Note after the first Interest rate Change
Date, !he maximum interest rate will be the higher of the Cap or 5 percentage points greater than lhe
interest rate In effect at the time of such sale or transfer. I

amount of the monthly payment that would be sufficient lo repay the projected Principal balanGe I am
expected to owe as of the Payment Change Date In full on the maturtty date at the Interest rMe In
effect 45 days prior to the Payment Change Dale in substantially equal payments. The result of this
calculation Is the new amount of my monthly payment, subject to Section 4(F) below, and I will make
payments In the new amount until the next Payment Change Date unless my payments are changed
earlier under Section 4(H) of the Note. I
(F) Monthly Payment Limitations:
Unless Seclfon 4(H) and 4(1) below apply, the amount of my new monthly payment, beginning
with a Payment Change Date, will be limited to 7 1/2% more or less than the amount I have been
paYing. This payment cap applies only to the Principal Payment and does not apply to any escrow
payments Lender may require under the Security Instrument. I
(G) Changes in l'/ly Unpaid Principal Due to Negative Amortization or Accelerated
r 1-------,Amortizatlo I
Since my payment amount changes less frequently than the Interest rate and since the monthly
payment Is subject to the payment limitations described in Section 4(F), my monthly payment could
be less or greater than the amount of the interest portion of the monthly payment that would be
sufficient to repay the unpaid Principal I owe at the monthly payment date In full on the maturity :dale
in substantially equal payments. For each month that the monthly payment is less than the Interest
portion, the Note Holderwlll subtract the monthly payment from the amount of the interest portion and .
will add the difference to my unpaid Principal, and Interest wlll accrue on the amount of this difference

POrllon, the Note Holder will apply the excess towards a Principal reduction of the Note. I
(H) Limit on My Unpaid Principal; Increased Monthly Payment
My unpaid Principal can never exceed a maximum amount equal to 110% of the principal
amount original borrowed. In the event my unpaid Principal would otherwise exceed that 110% I
limitation, I will begin paying a new monthly payment until the next Payment Change Date
notwithstanding the 7 1/2% annual payment increase limitation. The new monthly payment wlll be an
amount which would be sufficient to repay my then unpaid principal In full on the maturity date ai my
I
Interest rate in effect the month prior to the payment due date in substantially equarpaymenls.
(I) Required Full Monthly Payment
On the F I FTH anniversary or the dµe date of the first monthly payment, and on that same
I day every FIFTH year thereafter, the monthly payment will be adjusted without regard td the
payment cap limitation In Section 4(F). I
(J) Notice of Changes
The Note Holder will deliver or mail to me a notice of any changes In the amount of my monthly
payment before the effective dale of any change. The notice will include lnfom1atlon required byl law
to be given me and also the title and telephone number of a person who will answer any questions I

of my loan in other documents recorded with the South Essex Registry of Deeds as Well.

5. However, the chain of title to my property as it appears in the reco~s of
the South Essex Registry of Deeds is sharply contradicted by documents that were vJed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as part of a loan securitization.
These documents. reveal that the "assignment" could not have transferred my mortgage
and note to the Trust on January II, 2011 because both instruments had already ~een
transferred to the Trust in 2007 as loan nwnber 605754851-some four years earlier.

AF.FIDAVIT OF LAWFUL O\'VNERSHIP,
CURRENT POSSESSION AND TO CLARIFY TITLE
_UNDER G.L. c. 183, s. SB .
1.) My name ls Susan E. Burtage, and I em a record title holder of the property
known as 13 Whale Cove Road, Rockport, MA 01966, as is evidenced by a
Deed recorded in the South Essex County Registry-of
Deeds on October 31, 1997 at Book 14406,Page37.
2.) At all times since, I have owned and have been in possession of the
property known ns 13 Whale Cove Road, Rockport, MA 01966. I continue
-a---+--------~·o-_be.hLpossessi.on.through..the.cummt.date.JUs.ny.prlmacy..residence...I~-- - - : - - : - - - ~ - -
have contested any and all who have attempted lo enler onto my property
without my expres~ consent; and I will continue todo so.
3.)
I make this Affidavit under G.L. c. 183, §SB in furtherance of, 1111d as
supplement to, my previous Affidavit under GL. c. 183, §SB recorded on
--t---------'Marclr1t~2016at·fheSoutlr:SSSOx-County-Regis111ofDeeds·nt·Book:----+-------
3475g, Page 445.
5.) There are various claims to the legal title to the premises, including but not
limited to dot-'\1111ents such as mortgages, a p11rportcd•assig!)111ent of
mongage, purported affidavits relating of or to the title, pUipOrted
complaints, judgments, orders of notice, all as may or may not be recorded
on the public land records. ·
6.) Such claims and documents either a.) represent claims that are adverse to
my interests in the title to tbe premises, orb.) are claim(s) that represent the
possibility of adverse claims to my interests in legal title to the premises.
1
7.) U.S. Bank National N.A., Successor Trustee to Bank of America, N.A.
Successor In Interest to LaSalle Bank N.A. as Trustee on Behalf of The
Holders of The WAMU Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2007-
0Al ("USBT") claims that it lawfully owns my mortgage loan and has the
legal right to foreclose on my property. Such claim by USBT has no
demonstrable legal suppott and l~ a claim that is adverse to my interests in
the title lo the premises, and/or b.) sre claim(s) that represenl, at minimum,
a possibility of adverse chrlm(s) to my interests in legal title to the
premises.
10.) The publicly available PAA does not contain any schedule of mortgage
loans in the "schedule of assets", nor does the PAA specifically identify my
Note, mortgage, or Loan, as being one of the "certain assets"thatwere
acquired by JPM from the FDIC through the PAA. {Bxltibit A)
11.) There has been no evidence of any Receiver's Deed from the FDIC
identifying that my Note and/or mortgage were a "held asset'' of the Failed
Baolc at the thne of the September 25, 2008 FDIC s,;izure of Washington
Mutual Bank.
12.) There is clearly no documentary support .for USBT's claim that the
ownership of my Note was ~n owned pro-fonna asset of Washington
Mutual Bank at the time of its September 28, 2008 failure and takeover by
2
the FDIC that was "acquired by JPM.
13.) USBT's claim that it currently owns my loan supports the fact that it was a
legal impossibility that the ownership of my Note w.as a held pro fonna
asset of Washlngton Mutual Banlc at the time of its September 25, 2008
failme, where USBT claims it acquired the rights to payments made by me
on the Note beginning on Jll!IUlltJI 25, 2007.
14.) The above failures clearly constitute a defea in the chain of title.
15.) Upon information and belief, USBT never held and/or owed the note or
mortgage. It never became the •~nder" nor a "transferee with the right to
rro:ive payments under the terms of the mortgage loan".
-lll.-l-----------1~:!l;,r-Additionally.and-in-the-alternat!ve,in-eorrespondenee-sent-to-me-by•-----'--------
Hannon Law Offices.P.C., as agent for Select Portfolio Servicing on
behalf of and for the benefit of USBT, I was sent correspondence
definitively stating that my note was "accelerated" on September 21, 2010.
(See Exhibit B)
l
.l,
18.) Pursuant to M.G.L c. 106, see 3-118(a), the statute of limitations for the
lender/.transferee' s right to bring an action to-enforce the note was six (6)
years from the date of acceleration, namely, September 21, 2016.
19.) No action was ever brought to enforce the terms of the note before
20.) Toe maturity date of the Note was accelerated on September 21, 2010, and
the mortgage became obsolete certainly no later than Seplember 21, 2016,
pursuant to the obsolete mortgage statute, M.G.L. c. 260 s. 33. The
obsolete mortgage statute stales in pertinent part: "A power of sale in any
mortgage of real estate shall not be exercised and an entry shall not be .
made nor possession Ween nor proceeding begun for foreclosure of any
such mortgage after the expiration of .•. in the case of a mortgage in which
the term or maturity date of the mortgage is stated, 5 years from the
expiration of the term or from the maturity date . ., "
3
. .. .•
21.) Upon the expiration of the five (5) years after the advanced maturity dare,
"the mortgage shall be considered discharged for all pmposes wiihout the
necessity of further action hy the _mvner of the equity of redemption ...."
M.G.L c. 260, s. 33.
I
22.) "Where the uote has J,een rendered a nullity, the mortgage ceases to be
enforceable.
j 23.) USBT, and/or any successor(s)-in-interest have now sat on their rights for
more than seven (7) ye,µ-s.
.,l'
'
'lI 24.) On JanUBry 11, 2011, an instrument entitled "Assignment of Mortgage" was ·. '·
I mcorded in the South Essex County Registry of Deeds at Book30151 Page
j
491 wherein JPM [clalmlng authority solely from an "acquisition of certain
I assets'.' frondhe FDIC] was the named assignor wid USBT was earned
assignee.
25.) On or about August 14, 2018, well after the mortgage bad become
Ullenforceable and obsolete, HaonOJ1 Law Offices, P.C., as agent for Select
Portfilio Servicing, Inc., and for the benefit ofUSBT;-wrongfully sent me.a
Notice of Intention to Foreclose under stamte by USBT.
·- --·- . --·-··-·----- ·--·-····~--.. -·-·-----
· . 26.) Upon infonnation and belief, USBT has never held and/or owed the right to
-----◄•-···~-
.. - ......... -,. payments from my note or right to enforce my mortgage. Due to the
-1 '"
described events above, USBT never became the Lender nor a transferee
with the right to receive payments under the terms of the mortgage loan.
I
There is also no evidence that Select Portfolio Servicing, Tnc. ("SPS'') ever
had any agreement and/or i:elationship with any investor of my mortgage to
act as loan servicer and/or as· agent for any entity meeting the
Massachusetts definition of a "mortgagee", as defined by the Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial Conrt in Eaton v. Fed. Nat'l Mortgage Ass'n,. 462 Mass. I
569 (2012).
1-!
!
Tl,) USBT is a stranger to the note and mortgage described in the assignment
recorded UP,on my title at the South Essex County Regislry of Deeds at I
Book 30151, Page 491.
l'
I
' -
!
lhe break in the chain of title and the failure to satisfy all SU1tutoey condition
precedents; c) the acceleration of the mortgage loan as of September 21,
2010 (and !he note holder's failure to bring an action to enforce for more
lltan seven (7) year.;); and as otherwise could have been raised and
presented _in any litigation/prooee<lings.
29.) Any current attempt by USBT to foreclose is wrongful. I assert that any
purported foreclosure process conducted in thls matter by USBT, Select
Portfolio Se.rviciog, Inc, Hannon Law Offices; P.C., and/or its agent(s); is
1llllawful and/or legally ineffective and void.
30.) l will not leave my house voluntarily unless and until ordered out by a court
of competent jurisdiction and any purported "entry" onto my property
under G.L. c. 244, sec. 1, er seq., is, has been and will be opposed for all
purpose.~.
Subscribed to and swom under the penalties of perjury this 6th day of September,
2018.
