Pro Se Oregon Homeowner Scores Temporary Injunction Halting Foreclosure; Judge To Review Evidence Of Alleged Irregularities By Lender, Loan Servicer

In Portland, Oregon, The Oregonnian reports:

• A women representing herself convinced a federal judge in Portland this week to halt Bank of America's foreclosure on her home while examining the issue of a controversial deed. U.S. District Judge Garr King on Wednesday enjoined Bank of America from foreclosing on Natache D. Rinegard-Guirma's home in Northeast Portland until he could hear arguments about alleged improprieties in the foreclosure process. [...] King also ordered Rinegard-Guirma to make $1,000 monthly mortgage payments to Litton Loan Servicing Inc. while he resolved the issue.

• It was at least the second victory by a homeowner suing without help from an attorney against Bank of America. Last month, Medford hair stylist Renee Fisher and her husband convinced U.S. District Judge Owen Panner to halt foreclosure on their Medford home after the bank failed to send any attorney to the first court hearing.
