SUMMARY:
Lance Olsen is the managing partner of the law firm Routh Crabtree Olsen (RCO). His firm
represents both the trustees and beneficiaries in foreclosures. This conflict of interest came to
my attention in a case where I petitioned the State Department of Commerce for mediation under
the Foreclosure Fairness Act1 and in my efforts to stop the purported beneficiary from contacting
my clients in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) [15 USC sec.
1692c(a)(2)]
I raised questions regarding the true identity of the Note Holder (beneficiary) with the trustee
[Northwest Trustee Services (NWTS)] and the servicer [Bank of America (BOA)].2 This is an
issue because Freddie Mac claims to have acquired the Note before BOA purchased
Countrywide. Yet, both MERS and BOA claim to be the beneficiaries.
