Hey folks,
Here wego again.... Iam once again in a predicam entregarding obtaining financing due to the ongoing and erroneous
servicing incom petency issuescaused bythe Iackofquality controlsince FirstAm erican took overthe BankofCoral
Gablesoverayearago. lfinally fi gured outwhy you continuously send incorrectbilling statementsand falsely reportmy
accountasdelinquentto the creditrepositories. Istillcan'tunderstand w hy nobody atthe bankwould take thetime to
investigate the accounthistoryand review the Ioan documents. Thi sisdespiteoverthirty(30)communicationswith
num erousem ployeesand managementofthe bank regarding the reporting my m y HELOC accountasIate, priorto a
paymentactually being due.
M y Ioan wasoriginated onthe 28thofa month with a paymentdue the follow ing month. You are continuing to falsely
and repeatedly reportm y accountasover30 daysIate afterthe 1Stofthe month.

You have caused me some substantialfinancialproblem soverthe pastyear, now you've putm e in aterrible financial
predicam entdriven by a February 12,2016,Iine in the sand deadline, asIhave a balloon m ortgage due on my primary

residence and thisfalse reporting isthe reasonformy inability to obtain conventionalrefinancing. Asyou are aware,
there isnota blem ish on my credit,w ith the exception ofFirstAmerican'scontinued reporting.
Priorto FirstAmerican acquiringthe BankofCoralGables, Ihad a stellarbanking relationship w ith them from the tim e it
opened itsdoors in 2006,overeightyears.
lam speaking with Brian,in an attem ptworkoutsom e sortofdealstructure, to rectify severalissues including the
mortgage referenced above,the problem with the balloon m ortgage on my property, which cannotnotbe rectified in
timetoappeasethe privateIenderwhoownsthe balloonmortgageonmy home (dueto thetorturoustimelinesand
verificationspursuanttothenew Dodd-Frankprovisions)andthecollateralized Ioanfrom BankofCoralGablestoS& A
CapitalPartners,an entity ofm ine which also had a greatbanking relationship w ith the BankofCoralGablesincludinga
collateralized businessloan.Asyou are aware, the collateralized business Ioan w ith S & A Capitalhad been long since
paid offbutthe BankofCoralGablesneverreleased the collateralassignm entonthe Johnnie W ashington m ortgage. A
title com pany called FirstAmerican Bank,and sincethe FirstAmerican representative did notrecognizethe borrowers
nam e in yoursystem ofrecords,and didn'tbotherto furtherresearchthe situation by even Iookingatthe ''collateral
Assignment''which provided ourcom pany contactinfo,the FirstAm erican em ployee executed a satisfaction ofthe
m ortgageand underlying prom issory note. The ownerw alked away from the property withouthaving to pay the
m ortgage,which wasowned by S & A Capital.
Hopefully,Brian and Ican worksomething outregarding a collateralized business Ioan, so thatwe can clean the slate
and startafresh banking relationship. 1'd rathernotcontem plate the alternative!

FAB'S Foreclosure Litigation was filed on August 17,2016. The Foreclosure Litigation
has been at issue since April7,2017 and has been setfortrialin the Palm Beach
County CircuitCourtduring the trialperiod com mencing on June 28,2017. Virtually aII
of the questions and issues raised in your April 10,2017 Regulation Z Billing Error
Letter(Exhibit'A'
'),willbe resolved by the Palm Beach County CircuitCoud atthe
scheduled trialin the pending Foreclosure Litigation in which you are fully padicipating.
Speci
fically,yourApril1O,2017 Ietter(Exhibit'
A '')questions the genesis and
correctnessofeightIine items('AssessLoan Expense Fee'')onthe statementattached
to thatIederunderthe Description ofTransactions heading. Seven ofthose eightIine
i
tems are significant'
,the 1/18/17 line item is only for$25.00.
No attorneys'fees of any type or nature were charged,posted orassessed to
Laurence Schneider's HELOC Ioan No.40000006 between the time that the HELOC
loan was originated on July 28, 2006 through the time when Laurence Schneider
stopped making m onthly interestpaym ents on his HELOC Ioan in April2016.
Beginning in July 2016,when it becam e evidentto FAB thatyou w ere not going
to m ake any fudher monthly payments underyour HELO C loan,and that you w ould
m ostIikely notm ake the balloon paym entdue underthe HELOC Ioan on July 28,2016,
FAB retained legalcounsel in Florida (Keller & Bolz, LLP) to prepare to initiate
Foreclosure Litigation in orderfor FAB to collect the am ountdue underthe HELOC.
FAB filed its Foreclosure Litigation against you in accordance with the terms of the
HELOC Agreem ent and Modgage, and in that Foreclosure Litigation, FAB has
dem anded that itbe reim bursed by you forFA B'S reasonable attorneys'fees,expenses
and costs in prosecuting the Foreclosure Litigation, ln accordance with the term s ofthe
HELOC Agreementthatyou signed (on p.4),you are responsibleforthose reasonable
attorneys'fees incurred in pursuing thatForeclosure Li

The am ount of the attorneys' fees for w hich you w ill be liable in the Foreclosure
Litigation w ill be determ ined by the C ircuit Coud Judge in the pending Foreclosure
Litigation.
The seven significantIine item s which you are questioning reflectthe am ountof
m onthly attorneys'fees and costs that have been charged by FAB'S attorneys to FAB
(and paid by FAB)inthe above-referenced Foreclosure Litigation forthe monthsofJuly
2016 through January 2017,inclusive.
U ntil such tim e as FA B'S docum ents or records relating to attorneys' fees
incurred and paid by FA B in the Foreclosure Litigation becom e relevant/ripe for the
purposes of the Palm Beach County Circuit Coud's determination of a reasonable
attorneys'fee,those records are subjectto the controlling attorney-clientand work
productprivileges underFlorida Iaw. Accordingly,no documents,correspondence or
billing statements relating to the attorneys' fees being incurred in the Foreclosure
Litigation are being produced in response to yourApril10,2017 I
etter(Exhibit$
'A'')at
this tim e.
The eighth 'Assessed Loan Expense Fee''Iine item on the statem entattached to
yourApril1O,2017 Ietter reflects a Transaction Amountof$25.00. The basis forthat
charge to FAB was an unsuccessfulattem pt by a Iocalappraisalcompany to inspect
your propedy on January 9,2017. Afterthe appraiser assigned by FA B was unabl
e to
obtain accessto yourpropedy being foreclosed (noteventhe outside ofthe residence),
Attorney Kenneth Trent w as contacted on January 13,2017. Attorney Trent arranged
forthe propertyto be inspected on January 19,2017 by Mr.Carlos Molestina from FAB.
ln allevents, FAB has determ ined that the $25.00 expense that FAB incurred with
respectto the unsuccessfulattem ptto inspectthe property on January 9,2017 willnot
be among the costs and expenses that FAB is seeking to recover from you in the
above-referenced Foreclosure Litigation. FAB has ''waivedn/written offthe $25.00 fee.
