During the 7 o’clock hour, Mike Mannino updates listeners regarding his long journey to hold the people legally accountable for incorrectly foreclosing on his home. Mike always paid his monthly mortgage on time with the canceled checks to prove it, but still lost his home in November because the mortgage company and bank claimed in court he hadn’t paid since 2007. Even though the mortgage company and bank failed to respond to six court orders to produce documented proof the mortgage hadn't been paid for the past nine years, the judge refused to allow Mike’s canceled checks into evidence and ruled against him. He's continuing his fight and has gained the attention of officials inside the FL Attorney General's Office and the U.S. Department of Justice and has also filed a formal complaint with the Judicial Qualifications Commission. Open Mind Monday finishes out the show during the 8 o'clock hour. |
