UCGal, without seeing the actual documents, I’m just going to “shoot from the hip” here. It appears in the first instance, that yes, the particular (first?) trust deed DID go back to the bene on 9/7/10 but was not PERFECTED. In other words, the foreclosing bene never filed the Trustee’s Deed. Perhaps there was a problem with the actual defaulted sum. It appears on the 1/6/11 Trustee’s sale the defaulted amount was adjusted downwards. You need to check in ARCC on Monday 1/10/11 after 4:00 p.m. (72 bus. hrs. after the “sale”) to see if the new Trustee’s Deed was actually filed by the trustee of the foreclosing bene.

If so, the foreclosing bene engaged in a “do-over” to properly perfect the sale.
