*********************
When homeowners use the Produce the Note defense they are requiring that the lenders prove up the claim that they have the right to foreclose. The lender is the one asserting that it is the holder in due course with rights to foreclose by the very act of foreclosing; therefore, the burdens of proof is placed upon the lender to show proof, if it is demanded by the borrower/homeowner.
However, it is the homeowners job to assert their rights to the lender having the original note to prove standing as holder in due course and if the homeowner does not exert their right to require the original note be produced the homeowner is in effect waving the right to requiring the lender to produce the original note and the homeowner’s right is lost if not exercised.
