If you are thinking of purchasing this property, DON’T! The people you are dealing with are criminals and all involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Touchstone is now closed due to circumstances beyond our control. After their hostile takeover and 6 month decimation of the Properties at Touchstone, leaving nothing intact, criminals headed by Rose Ramirez and Associates, Rachael Baca, Eraina Edwards, Josh Chappelle, Tiffany and Bosco, S&S Financial, Bank of New York Melon, US Bank, and Jason Bousliman, complicit with District Court judges Shannon and McElroy in contempt of higher court orders, provided Writ of Assistance to Taos County Sheriff’s Department, the criminals are now offering it for sale with the ironic challenge to, “Revive this property back to its original glory,” after they themselves have destroyed it. Touchstone was a viable business, May 1, 2023 with a totally booked Memorial Day weekend, a totally booked concert in the park and bookings into September all paid, in-hand had to be refunded, over $26,000. Three Documents dictate the status of this claim in favor of Brenda Price, NOT in favor of Plaintiffs or their Predecessors: November 2, 2017, New Mexico Court of Appeals ruled that US Bank does not have Standing to Foreclose, January 7, 2010 Order and Final Decree by Federal Judge Robert H. Jacobvitz Closing Case 11-10321, and August 14, 2008, Stipulated Order by Federal Judge, McFeeley, 11-10321. Judge Shannon based his decision on fraudulent information and fabricated documents filed by the Plaintiffs and had no right to issue a Writ for Assistance and license to steal, after he deemed that I failed to appear at a hearing on August 10, 2022, for his online kangaroo court at which I most certainly did appear along with my attorney, Mr. Padilla. The hearing was moved from 9:30 AM to 9:00 AM and switched from Zoom to Google Talk; nonetheless, we were in attendance waiting to be let into the chat as we could hear banter in Spanish and English being carried on in the courtroom, then the Clerk came on to say, “Mr. Padilla, you are excused.” No explanation. Mr. Padilla was sent to hospital that day in an ambulance, and he withdrew from my case on May 9, 2023, after the wrongful eviction, May 1, 2023, due to health issues.

Weddings at Touchstone

 

I purchased the property outright in 1983 with no mortgage. The property was burned by arsonists, November 22, 1992, and was rebuilt by December 1993 with 2 rooms to rent. There was no mortgage until 1996. I have invested over 2.2 million of my own money, and 40 years of my life in the property sans any mortgage. In my 30 years in business, I have grossed over 2 million dollars on which taxes were collected and paid to the state and town of Taos.  This business loss is devastating to the Town of Taos as well as to myself!

This was a Predatory Lending case involving 13 flipped mortgages within 2 years’ time that was settled in Federal Chapter 11 Court with a Final Decree and Order upholding the Trustee’s Motion to convert to Chapter 7 and close the case as fully administered and substantially consummated. The Plaintiffs failed to appear at the final hearing and were given two weeks to oppose the order; they failed to do so. The two original Lenders were Countrywide-America’s Wholesale Lender, October 3, 2003 on 110A, and Bank of America, May 17, 2004, backdated to May 14, 2004 on 110B. Bank of America assigned the mortgage on 110B to JP Morgan Chase, allegedly January 4, 2005, but Chase did not mention the assignment, nor was it filed with the Complaint for Foreclosure, January 12, 2005, and JP Morgan Chase  did not file the assignment of mortgage until January 21, 2005, the same day I was served with the Summons and Complaint for Foreclosure, violating Chapter 11 code because I had filed Chapter 11 reorganization on January 19, 2005. Bank of America Purchased Countrywide July of 2008. I never received an assignment of mortgage and paid the wrong lender over $135,000. District Court erred in reopening the case in 2013 as the Statute of Limitations had expired. Bank of America fabricated two mortgages on each 110A and 110B in 2012 and 2013, which were then passed on to predecessors US Bank and Bank of New York Mellon who filed this evidence as fraud on the court, lying to the judges as to the date of last mortgage payment being in 2014 when the actual last payment was in August 2004, and had already been called into default as seen in JP Morgan Chase’s Complaint for Foreclosure, January 12, 2005, and in Countrywide’s Motion for Default Judgment in Chapter 11, both of which were expedited and delt with in Federal Chapter 11 Court.  Judge McFeeley’s Stipulated Order explained that secured creditors could foreclose as of May 19, 2006, with the Confirmation of the Plan; they failed to do so.

About Us | Historic Touchstone Inn

There were 2 bridge loans by 2 private investors in Chapter 11 that take precedent over all other loans, one for $200K, and one for $69k. These funds were used for adequate protection payments and completion of  construction at 110B Mabel Dodge Lane. Bank of America out of Downer’s Grove Illinois, COVERTLY during chapter 11 had a Broker’ s Price Opinion done, BPO, which resulted in 2.4 million. The Plaintiffs knew they were adequately protected but withheld this information, and insisted that payments be made even though the Plan to which they had agreed specifically stated that no such payments would be required because all funds were needed for reorganization and finish of construction. Bank monies did not complete construction which was missing the whole front of the building as seen in the 2004 survey of 110B showing poured footings labeled as ‘wall’. This survey does not include 110C and shows the true boundaries of 110B Mabel Dodge Lane. This was ordered by S&S Financial and bears the notation, ‘not to be used by owner for any purpose’.  The wrongful Eviction Writ was for 110A and 110B, NOT 110C.The People’s Bank debt was paid 3 times POC, Paid Outside of closing, by myself in cash out of CD held as collateral by People’s Bank for a business loan which was converted to a mortgage at request of the lender. The $100,000  was my money to which the Line of Credit was added to the LOC, not to exceed $65,000, so of the $157,000 I owed $57,000  plus a monthly loan payment and the $100,000 was my money, CD as collateral. $172K was added to 110A Mortgage with Countrywide and was added to the Bank of America payout as a subtraction from the $500K construction loan of which received $308,000 from the $319,000 withheld for construction after again paying the same $172,000 POC, so $344,000 was added to bank principle out of blue sky and collected interest for 20 years. I never received the last $10,000 of the Construction loan. Another $45,000 was added to principle on 110A as a HELOC which was embezzled by S&S Financial and I received ZERO, October 3,2003. This appeared is the Resolution Trust as owned by Bank of New York Melon on 110A, who was assigned the bogus mortgage on 110A from Bank of America in September 2015, who purchased Countrywide in July of 2008 then was assigned to Merrill Lynch in July of 2023.The Colored Spreadsheet is a composite of the long sheet with costs excluding the title company costs.  The long sheet has loan amount plus what I received and amount Broker received – the colored spreadsheet is a composite of these costs showing amounts of rise in principle, amount broker received and amount I received. It cost $455K for $405K which received across both properties.
