Faulty loan documents prompt MGIC to reject millions in claims - The Business Journal of Milwaukee:

ogarawo.wordpress.com
The rejections provide some reliefto , Milwaukee, against multimillion-dollad losses that started in 2007 as the residential real estatre market skidded. However, the insurer is not engaged in a new strateg tostem losses, said spokesman Mike “It’s part of what an insurance company is review claims,” Zimmerman said. “It’s somethingg we’ve always done.” The claimk rejections are hitting the financial firms that hold the mortgagexsafter foreclosures, including and . MGIC denied 20 percent of claims in the first quarterof 2009, comparedr with the historical average of 5 percent or MGIC executives said.
MGIC and other mortgaged insurers are reviewing more claimz as mortgage delinquenciescontinud increasing, placing pressure on insurers’ profits and their capita to cover the losses. MGIC reported a net loss for the quartert ended March 31of $184.6 millionj after losing $519 million in 2008 and $1.67 billiojn in 2007. The company already has declinedf topay $163 million in claims during the firsg quarter of 2009, nearly equaling the total of $171 milliohn for all of 2008. The company denie d $28 million in claims for 2007. Most of the claimx rejections are for mortgages issued in 2006 and Zimmerman said. Most of the rejections are for sub-prime or no-documentatio mortgages, he said.
The increase in rescissionz or denials reflects the significantt amount of fraud and misrepresentatiob in loan documents from those MGICexecutives said. “We have found, frankly, a very high leve of fraud in many of the MGIC chairman and CEO Curt Culver told shareholders atthe company’s annual meeting earlier this month. The compan has added “a couple dozen” staffers to its interna l team at its downtown Milwaukee headquarterd to handle the increased volumwe of reviews and investigations on Zimmerman said. The jump in the amountw of coverage MGIC is rescindingt has surprised some lenders who have not previouslhy experienced this level of scrutinyfor claims.

The company is the producrt of HudsonClean Energy, a N.J.-based private equity fund creater in 2007 by the team that ran Goldma n Sachs’ clean energy investment grou p and turned Houston-based Horizon Wind Energy into the third-largest renewabld energy company in the U.S.
Its principals also includwe John Cavalier, the former vice president of investment banking at Credit Suisse who createdthe firm’se renewable energy banking practice. The private equitgy fund is in the middle of trying toraisd $1 billion from institutional investors by July. And according to at leasrt one report, it may surpass that goal. Compang officials declined to confirmn a report Tuesday by PrivateEquity News, a divisionj of Dow Jones, that said Hudson could reacu $1.5 billion when it closes its firstg institutional fund this summer.
Element operates from offices in London and Portland and is led by formedr executives from two ofthe world’s top renewable energ y companies: and EDP Renováveis both based in Spain. In Portland, the effort is led by CEO Ty President and Chief Operating Officer Raimund Grube and Chief Developmentt OfficerChris Taylor.

Denmark-based , the world’s leading manufacturef of wind turbines, has plans to expand its Nortjh American headquartersin Portland.
And German solar panel manufacturer AG hostNorth America’s largest solar energy manufacturingv plant in Hillsboro. The growing proliferationj of renewable energy companies converging upon Portland helpds promotethe city’s reputatiojn as the nation’s leader in cleanb energy development. “Once you get an anchor tenant or two here then it attractsothert people.

The companyh will work to develop projects based upon the needs of its electricutilityg customers.

The Phoeniz Business Journal was unable to reach Wallach for commentt about the pending foreclosure sale and his plans in David Newcombe, a broker with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s Internationao Realty who specializes in urban luxury condo sales, said news of the foreclosurwe was unexpected. “You know, I’m reallu surprised at that,” Newcombwe said. “According to information supplied to theBusiness Journal, 91 of the 165 residencea are sold in The Summiy at Copper Square.” Newcombe said a handfull had been taken back by lenders when buyerws were unable to cover their loans.
He said one 966-square-foot unit that originall sold for $550,000 and was taken back by the bank and now is listedat $275,000. He said five individuap units are scheduled for trustee saleds in thecoming weeks. It is unknown how the project’x foreclosure sale will impact individual ifat all. A May 2008 story published in the Business Journal noted thata $3.1 milliobn mechanic’s lien had been filed agains t the project and individual condo owners by the general The Weitz Co. At that time, construction attorneyu Joel Sannes, said such mechanic’s liens create additional obstaclesz and title encumbrances for residents who want to selltheid units.
According to the notice of trustee Wallach’s company through the legalo entity, The Summit at Coppee Square LLC, received a $44 million constructiob loan from FNBN-RESCON I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The point person for FNBN liste d on the trustee sale notice is Tom Hosier of Stearnxs Bankin Scottsdale.
