Bob --
Nice job. But, may I suggest some additional wording? I am involved in a
case now (not before you) in which the debtor reasonably (IMHO) denies the
validity of the security interest (but not the funds advanced on her behalf,
which we will repay). What I would like to see added is a provision for the
lender being required to produce the entire loan file on a written request
of the debtor or debtor's counsel without the need for seeking a 2004
examination or noticiing a deposition. My reasoning is that even a simple
motion for a 2004 exam and the order and subpoena docs can add $500-1000 to
the debtor's fees plus the cost of the examination itself, which shouldn't
be necessary. I would not object to the creditor adding a reasonable costs
of copying the file to the loan balance.
