Tyschkevich loses “Loan wasn’t Consummated” Argument

Garfield Clingon

Svetlana Tyschkevich sued for TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) to stop the foreclosure sale of her house on which she took out a $1.36 million dollar loan on which she had not made a payment for 7 years.

She claimed that she had rescinded under TILA (Truth in Lending Act) validly, though 6 years after the loan date, because she had never consummated the loan because the loan docs didn’t identify the real parties, a favorite failing legal theory of Neil Garfield’s “Clingon” minions.

She also claimed the foreclosure was a debt collection activity that violated the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) because of her rescission.

The magistrate pointed to the loan docs she had signed and the formal status of her lender, and to the TILA statute of repose that limited her right to rescind to 3 years, and to the fact that a foreclosure is not a debt collecting activity subject to the FDCPA.  TRO denied.

Another Garfield Clingon bites the dust.

To make matters worse, the foolish woman never bothered hiring a competent professional to examine her loan-related documents.  Had she done that, she probably would have learned of numerous legitimate causes of action against those who injured her, such as appraisal fraud and mortgage fraud, for which she might have won huge punitive damages.

  1. Anyone that follows the advice of scammer Neil Garfield, and loses their property, as most do, should sue him.

  2. “… because she had never consummated the loan…”

    I’ve read that insane argument so many times! And I still don’t know, to this day, what it purports to mean in people’s mind and how they can even utter it in good conscience. People contract a loan to purchase a house. They obtain the money, purchase the house and MOVE INTO IT. They remain IN THE HOUSE long after they defaulted on the payment. Typical consumption loan, by any definition. http://www.letslearnfinance.com/consumption-loan-meaning.html

    To me, there is no clearer evidence of consumption than that. I’ve asked Garfield many, many times: “If that constitutes non-consumption, please pray tell, what would “consumption” really look like?

    Never got an answer. Never saw ONE case won on that completely nonsensical train of thought.
