<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="color:black">As some of you may know, I have been litigating with a company called Ten Bridges for a few years. Part of Ten Bridges’ business was purchasing the right to receive
surplus proceeds from judicial foreclosure sales for pennies on the dollar. In <i>
<span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">Ten Bridges, LLC v. Guandai</span></i>, 15 Wn. App.2d 223, 474 P.3d 1060 (2020), Division One of the COA held that RCW 63.29.350, which was part of Washington’s version of the Uniform Unclaimed Property
Act, made it illegal for companies like Ten Bridges from purchasing unsuspecting former homeowners’ rights to receive surplus proceeds if the company that was to receive the cash equity received more than 5% of the available surplus proceeds. The COA invalidated
one former homeowner’s assignment of the right to receive ~$85,000 for only $15,000, and invalidated another former homeowner’s assignment of the right to receive ~$346,000 in exchange for Ten Bridges’ promise to pay her $172,000 from the “first” money it
received due to the assignment.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="color:black">The 2022 legislature did a routine update of the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act and in doing so, inadvertently repealed RCW 63.29.350 without a savings clause or
enacting a comparable statute. People whose cases were already pending at the time of the effective date of the repeal no longer can rely on RCW 63.29.350 to invalidate transactions that were entered into while the statute was in effect. Rep. Orwall introduced
legislation this year that would fix the inadvertent repeal of RCW 63.29.350 and make its former provisions apply under the new law to persons who had entered into such illegal transactions before the repeal, as well as to persons who in the future enter into
such transactions. The proposed Act, SHB 1637, passed out of the Judiciary Committee with no opposition. But now it’s stuck in the Rules Committee, and
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">the last day for full House floor votes is tomorrow</span>. It is
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">URGENT</span> that everything that can be done is done to move the Bill out of Rules Committee.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="color:black">Therefore, I request and urge you
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">to call House Speaker Laurie Jinkins today</span>, as soon as you can, to urge her to do everything in her power to
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">move SHB 1637 out of the Rules Committee</span> so it can have a full floor vote. Her office telephone number is
