[WSBAPT] Serve Washington Mutual

Tue Apr 18 12:59:38 PDT 2017

Unfortunately, over the years, we have found that not all WA MU loans were taken over by JPMorgan Chase. This highlights one of the miseries of bank entity shifts - when a lender craters, or is bought, and the holder of the note is not the original beneficiary, but there is never any actual assignment recorded anywhere, then we look on the internet and various websites that we have found over time, trying to find out whom to sue. And it's not just WA MU, it can be difficult with a takeover by an entity with different divisions, such as Springleaf - do you sue Springleaf Financial, or Springleaf Home Equity? You can't call them and ask them - I have tried. And the original may or may not still have an agent anywhere for service of process. WA MU doesn't.  If not, then the only safe way to proceed I have learned, the hard way, is to try my best to figure it out, serve that entity, and also get an order for service by publication on any other entities, including the original lender.  Then when the entity you figured out defaults, and you have nowhere else to turn, then you have service by publication on all other entities claiming an interest. But the declaration in support of the motion for service by publication needs to have a whole lot of evidence of trying to find the right entity. 

The Washington State Supreme Court had the chance to give some grit to our recording laws with all of the MERS cases, but didn't. In my biased opinion.

The successor to Washington Mutual Bank is indeed JPMorgan Chase Bank.

A screen shot from the FDIC web site:

Washington Mutual Bank is no longer doing business under that name because it has been merged or acquired without government assistance. See the successor institution, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (FDIC #: 628) <https://research.fdic.gov/bankfind/detail.html?bank=628&name=JPMorgan%20Chase%20Bank,%20National%20Association&searchName=washington%20mutual%20bank&searchFdic=&city=&state=&zip=&address=&tabId=2>

If I am not mistaken that was Chase Bank.
