Summary: Mercury Property Management Company started by Alan Snyder and Diane Fullerton was one of the largest management companies in California. The owners were socially and politically well connected and protected by the system. The owners then borrowed $750,000. from Harbor Bank - the bank in which they were depositing milliions of homeowner association dues. Three months later Mercury owners defaulted and declared bankruptcy. Principals and officers included: Toni Daughtry and Pat Gummeson
They transferred the assets, homeowner association accounts and personnel to a new name - Marquis Management . Marquis worked closely with the leaders of the homeowner association foreclosure lawyers and the construction defect lawyers. Larry Rothman their foreclosure lawyer - he told a reporter in 1991 he filed 250 foreclosures a month. He was co-defendant in a lawsuit that alleged that he fraudulent foreclosed on a home where the owner had missed paying two months of dues. The lawsuit charged that Rothman bought the home for a nominal sum. The home had $400,000 in equity.
Marquis principals, included Pat Gummeson and Toni Daughtry. They did business under several names. They did liens and foreclosures (U.S. Consolidated Foreclosure Services) , collections, and escrows etc. They testified at many multimillion dollar construction defect lawsuits. They helped board members and CAI lawyers start at most of the homeowner associations they managed, in adddition to the landscape and other businesses they managed.
Their construction defect lawsuit and foreclosure mills made them the sweethearts of the Southern California CAI lawyers and politicians.
Their homeowner association foreclosure scam involved posting fraudulent late changes or fines on homeowner accounts. They then filed liens and fraudulent TRW reports, claiming the homeowner owed them thousoands of dollars in dues and collection fees to them. They would send extortion letters demanding $3,000. or more to remove their fraudulent charges. If the owners refused to pay, they sold the homes. Marquis, the lawyers or the buyers to whom they sold the home (some believed to be straw buyers) pocketed the equity.
Many CAI lawyers, managers and board members worked on these profitable construction defect lawsuit and fraudulent foreclosure scams.
If the homeowners went into court to stop the fraudulent foreclosures, the insurance companies (e.g. CHUBB insurance) spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending Marquis and the corrupt boards, using Directors & Officers insurance policies. (CAI lawyers helped write the Davis Stirling laws mandating homeowners to pay for these policies which were then used against them in such lawsuits.)
When group of homeowner victims (some were lawyers e.g. Mark Kompa and Ed Danoff) , including an AHRC founder, filed lawsuits to stop the fraudulent foreclosure lawsuits against them, and began doing discovery, Marquis filed for bankruptcy and went out of business.
Some of the Marquis owners and managers still do business through other homeowner association management companies.
