I have noticed a trend on foreclosures in my area....

I have checked public notices and over 50 percent of the listings were financed by

mortgage electronic registration systems.  Weren't they being sued for something?

Maybe it's a coincidence but I find it so strange so many foreclosure houses were financed by them.

MERS did not finance any mortgages. The lenders were using MERS as a way to track mortgage assignments without using the county recorder.
