Bendett & McHugh PC complaints

Company states; Please be advised that the individual who filed the attached complaint, Mr.t Sajous, is not a customer of our firm, nor a borrower of our client, U.S. Bank, N.A., or even an owner of the property located at 320 East Ashland Street, Brockton, MA 02302. Per the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds, the owner of the property and the mortgagor of the subject foreclosure is an individual by the name of a "Harry Cooper." Harry Cooper was deeded the property via quitclaim deed which was recorded on 5/19/2005 in Book 30552 at Page 220 of the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds. There have been no deeds recorded out of Harry Cooper regarding this property. In addition, Harry Cooper was also the sole borrower of the subject mortgage which was recorded on 5/19/2005 in Book 30552 at Page 220 of the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds. Even though Harry Cooper is the owner of the subject property and the borrower, he has not lived there for many years. According to Mr. Sajous, the property was vacant and abandoned when he found it back in 2013. Since discovering the property, Mr. Sajous claims that he has been living there and fixing it up ever since. Mr. Sajous has also confirmed that he has never met or even spoken with Harry Cooper before. Unfortunately however, this does not give Mr. Sajous any legal ownership or right to the property. Based on this information, Mr. Sajous has no legal ownership or interest in the subject property which is why our firm could not communicate with him regarding any specific details pertaining to the mortgage or foreclosure. Our firm advised Mr. Sajous that if he wanted to purchase the property he would need to attend and bid at the foreclosure auction. Our firm originally held a foreclosure sale on the subject property back in 11/27/2017 which Mr. Sajous attended and was the highest bidder. Unfortunately however, this foreclosure sale had to be rescinded. We returned Mr. Sajous initial deposit as we were not legally able to provide him with clear title. Our firm rescinded the foreclosure and was in the process of obtaining a new SCRA judgment when Covid-19 hit. Due to the moratoriums that went into effect, our firm had to place the subject foreclosure on hold for almost a year. Once the moratoriums ended, our firm resumed the foreclosure process on the subject property again. It was during this time that Ernst Sajous received a foreclosure notices at the property address regarding the new foreclosure date and he began calling our firm asking to purchase the property for his winning bid price from back in 2017. Mr. Sajous seems to believe that he has the right to purchase the property because he was the high bidder of the previously invalidated auction. Our firm has explained to Mr. Sajous that he still does not have any ownership or interest in the subject property because the previously held foreclosure sale was rescinded. In addition, we explained to Ernst Sajous that in order to legally convey title, U.S. Bank, N.A. must conduct a new foreclosure sale because the bank does not have the legal right to simply sell him the property. Our firm advised Ernst Sajous once again that if he wishes to purchase the property he will have to attend the next auction and bid again. Thank you,
