Rydstrom Esq Landmark Ca Case HAMP & Unfair Trade Practices West v. JP Morgan Chase

Rich Rydstrom, CMIS & HAMP:

Out to help people, in 2006, Richard wrote an article about how the economy was about to crash.  Congress read it and invited him to deliver a neutral analysis and statement to the 110th Congress.  In January 2007 he did just that, and immediately found himself in the middle of the left and right political and economic (world) powers. Richard became the Chairman of the D.C. Coalition for Mortgage Industry Solutions (“CMIS”).  In mid-2007 the mortgage and credit crisis were in full bloom wiping out millions. The Great Recession arrived, it was real, and it ran through-out the world.

It appeared no one was taking decisive action to stop the snow-balling asset (mortgage) write-offs (per the Reps and Warranties in our banking and credit swap contracts), leading to greater credit freezes, and escalating foreclosures.  Richard had already created financial solutions for Wall Street (finance) to lessen the severity and frequency of write-off (losses) and foreclosures in his predictive Congressional speech, but no one was implementing them. Nor was anyone else injecting solutions to the run-a-way crisis. Day after day, more and more people were thrown in the streets. It became clear the industry wasn't in the solutions business, they appeared to be managing the sinking of the Titanic.

Richard needed to lead, influence the influencers, and start at the top. In 2008, with the help of his team (CMIS), Richard fashioned a DC Summit for the captains of industry, industry leaders and influencers in the financing, mortgage, and congressional spaces. It was done, he had created the solutions event for the crisis, but it needed more. While traveling, he stopped at his parents’ home on Long Island. He was looking through his notes to make sure he did all he could to make the Summit a success. When he woke up the next day, he said to his parents, I need to call billionaire Wilbur Ross, the largest private owner of mortgages in the United States. His Mom said, Oh, Richard. His Dad said, So, do It. Richard dialed 411 and asked for Wilbur Ross. In minutes he heard, hold for Wilbur. When Wilbur Ross said hello, what can I do for you: Richard was ready with his short and to the point request that Wilbur help debate and create at the CMIS live-broadcast Summit, the needed solutions to the crisis.

After a short discussion of Richard’s QbieSam™ solution (Quarantined Build In Equity Shared Appreciation Mortgage), and his ‘‘Safe Harbor Intelligent Loan Options’’ (‘‘SHILO’’), Wilbur said we would need claw back components which create liquidity events by selling reduction pieces at Xbps over the 10-year treasury.  Richard said oh, wow. Ok, let’s do this.  The borrower is in dire trouble and has a lack of exit options available. This is causing ‘‘liquidation type forced sales’’ at an alarming rate and severity, while creating a feeding frenzy in the foreclosure, credit, and capital markets. We must stop or slow-step the bleeding now or we may fall too far to get back up.

Excerpts of Solutions Discussion by Billionaire Wilbur Ross and CMIS Chairman Rich Rydstrom:

“AHM has proven that its leader, Wilbur Ross, expressed viable principal reduction modification remedies in his keynote discussion with Chairman Richard Rydstrom at the CMIS Executive Summit in DC (2008). The next step would be to activate the “liquidity creating” portion of the remedy by selling insured pieces, and/or add a reduction or quarantined device that does not result in capital ratio impairment write-offs (www.qbiesam.com).

“Back in June 2008, at the DC Leadership Summit, Richard Rydstrom and Wilbur Ross discussed modification solutions with principal reduction and SAM claw back components which also spark the secondary and securitization market (by selling reduction pieces at Xbps over the 10-year treasury (www.CMISfocus.com; AFN Video). One such solution is as follows: Public – Private Guarantee Solution: (Wilbur Ross and Richard Rydstrom June 2008) • Set up an insurance guarantee program. • The government would guarantee 50% of the mortgage that had been reduced to true net value after selling commissions, etc. • The guaranteed amount (50% government amount) could be separately sold by holder/lender at a much lower yield than the mortgage itself. • Enable the holder/lender to pay a 2 ½% per year Insurance Fee to the government. • At first sale, share proceeds of appreciation as follows: 1/3rd to Government 1/3rd to Lender/Holder 1/3rd to Borrower (Homeowner) • Making it transferrable/assumable will lessen the need for new replacement mortgage. • The 50% can come over to the next owner from the government guarantee at low rates and supply liquidity to the original lender. • It can be backed by reinsurance.”

Short Bio Chairman, Rich Rydstrom, Esq.:

Richard Rydstrom, Esq. was Chairman of CMIS Mortgage Coalition reconciling diverse disparate interests of the banks and the consumer borrowers in developing neutral solutions to the Great Recession of 2007, including the HAMP mortgage modification program with the U.S. Treasury and the foreclosure and consumer interest groups.  When the 110th Congress wanted a neutral analysis and congressional statement regarding the problems and solutions of the pre Great Recession, they chose Mr. Rydstrom. When the banks and consumer groups wanted a formal explanation and speech regarding the first HAMP Mortgage Modification Program outline from President Obama and the U.S. Treasury, they chose Mr. Rydstrom. Mr. Rydstrom also served as a settlement officer for all California Superior Courts in Los Angeles. Richard is also a member of the Mediator Registry created when Los Angeles lost its funding to settle lawsuits in its VSO Progam. “I was very impressed with your preparation, tenacity, and skill ...
