Republican Lugar FIGHTS for Ameriquest CEO Roland Arnall confirmation as Ambassador
Lugar’s New Math: 9 to 9 = 8 to 2
By Al Kamen
Friday, November 4, 2005
Feeling low because you’ve missed out on all the good ambassadorships? Cheer up! One exceptionally fine one, the Netherlands, which appeared filled just might be opening up again.
Seems a most unusual snag has developed in the bid of Los Angeles multibillionaire and Ameriquest Mortgage Co. chairman and founder Roland E. Arnall , a longtime major Democratic contributor until recently, to that most excellent posting in the land of tulips and wooden shoes.
![]()
Arnall and his wife, Dawn Arnall, were reportedly the single biggest source of financial support for President Bush since 2002, giving or raising at least $12.25 million. More than enough to erase all contributions to Democrats.
But there were other concerns. Arnall’s company is the largest mortgage lender to lower-income people and those with iffy credit ratings. Regulators in 30 states have raised concerns about shoddy lending practices, alleged fraud, falsification of documents and bait-and-switch tactics.
Arnall has set aside $325 million to settle the claims. The eight Senate Foreign Relations Committee Democrats had said they would nonetheless vote against Arnall, though they think he’s a good nominee, because the legal cloud over him had not been resolved—and some states wanted a commitment to change sales practices as part of a deal.
Then Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) said he, too, still had problems and wanted to think about it, maybe talk it over with Arnall.
“I do think it’s important who represents this country abroad,” Hagel said at the hearing. “I do think we should send people who are not under a cloud of investigation. Mr. Arnall, fairly or unfairly, finds himself in that position.”
Chairman Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.) nonetheless pushed for a vote. Hagel came down against Arnall, deadlocking the committee 9 to 9.
Some thought the tie, as would usually be the case, blocked the nomination from going the floor for a vote. Not so.
Lugar read the Senate rules to say the tally that counted was of the 10 senators present and they voted 8 to 2 for Arnall. Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes (D-Md.) protested that the proxies had to be included, but the nomination went to the Senate floor—at least for now.
Democrats say if the nomination is brought up for a vote, they will challenge Lugar’s interpretation of the rules. They say the Senate parliamentarian has indicated the Dems would prevail.
This may yet be worked out—but keep those sums at the ready.
WTF is wrong with Lugar?
Who voted for that corrupt moron and why?
How can the Republicans possibly WANT someone as vile as Arnall anywhere but in prison?
What could be MORE disgusting than the politicians?
The consumer advocates
There’s a forum for mortgage servicing fraud and I offered to assist with a press release about Arnall:
Dutch TV researching Ameriquest Arnall and looking for attorneys and litigants
Not ONE person did anything. The entire forum is nothing but a place for cream skimming lawyers and either nutcases or lenders in disguise to keep people from *doing* anything but rant. Specifically, there’s Greg Collins who does whatever he can to keep people from taking action—*he* is in the process of taking Ameriquest down. There’s no need for anyone to do anything because Greg is taking care of Ameriquest.
He also lied to me about getting me an attorney for my case against Ameriquest. And he succeeded in getting me to settle instead of doing discovery and sending out another press release. Great job, Greg!
Between the corrupt politicians, the corrupt consumer advocates and the lazy whining and not willing to *do* anything victims - why bother fighting?

Finally got the Ameriquest settlement agreement
Why do always have to be a bitch? I posted my e-mail to the Ameriquest attorney Messing yesterday.
Today I got the faxed settlement agreement and stipulation to settle. I’ll post everything once I got the check.

No settlement agreement from Ameriquest, but I got their initial disclosures
I called the Ameriquest attorney Messing a couple days ago since I hadn’t received the settlement agreement. Initially he was going to use his “short” agreement. So he told me that Ameriquest insisted on using THEIR agreement, which he then had to modify. He was waiting for their approval of the modifications.
He had already been calling them, wants to get this off his desk. Well, apparently they’re ignoring him just like they ignored me. Still nothing today.
So I just sent this e-mail:
Mr. Messing,
Since I still haven’t received anything regarding the Ameriquest settlement, please advise your client that I consider the settlement void if I don’t have the agreement by tomorrow, Friday at 5 PM with the stipulation that I have my $5K check and the credit report by 10/28/05.
If Ameriquest wishes to settle by 11/30/05, my offer is $7,500 and the credit report.
What morons ....

Settling with Providian and Professional Recovery was so quick, I had my check within a few days from the verbal agreement, they even overnighted it to me.
Ameriquest did send the initial disclosures - all they gave me was the call log. It’s about as pathetic as it gets and explains WHY Beatrice denied my loan as soon as she saw my credit - she didn’t write down that I was going to pay off ALL debt.
And the good news is that Beatrice still works at Ameriquest, I’d love find out WHY she gave my info to Jonathan at Great SW Mortgage after she got the credit while Ameriquest STILL insists that my loan wasn’t declined until several weeks later because I didn’t sent W-2s and pay stubs.
Beatrice also didn’t note that I am self-employed and that it was supposed to be a no doc loan.
Ameriquest is SO screwed up!
The best part is that I’ve got the entire phone call with Beatrice legally recorded and I wonder why I agreed to settle for only $5K. I won’t be crying if I don’t hear back from them.

I settled with Ameriquest
So far it’s only verbal and I’m still waiting to get the written agreement for my review and approval, but that’s the current status.
$5K, my credit reports (initially my claim was that Ameriquest failed to provide me with the reports) and no confidentiality clause.
And that settles all claims to date, including the illegal promos.

8/30/05: Atoo Heera Sakhrani Petition for Impeachment of Judge Gerald C. Escala (re. Ameriquest)
This is really something, not just involving Ameriquest, but also Deutsche Bank and others. I read the filing and it sure brought back memories of the many times I got railroaded in Kangaroo Courts. Here is the 8/30/05 Sakhrani Petition
From crrol.org BELIEVE IT OR NOT?????????
“… Try suing a Federal Bank in a Federal Court, you catch red handed with unclean hands in a criminal fraud with the loan closing HUD-1 statement as a forgery you never even signed !and the loan never even ractified.! The Bank even admits that this forgery was the HUD-1 Statement used to fund the rescinded loan and even though they knew that this was a forgery they continue to attempt to steal the property from the victim Sakhrani. ?The Federal Judge Joseph A. Greenaway from Newark New Jersey apparently supports the Bank’s predatory lending schemes and fraud and is putting the federal bank Above the Rule of Law . WHY?????? This same Federal Judge Joseph A.Greenaway dismissed two of the victim Sakhrani’s cases against this Federal Bank , First National Bank of Arizona and also against another bank, Washington Mutual Bank based on his judicial determination that the Federal Court had no jurisdiction over Sakhrani’s cases because Sakhrani is A U.S.Citizen domiciled in Japan. Yet, when it comes to First National Bank Of Arizona’s case against Sakhrani in this same court, this same Federal Judge refuses to dismiss the case on the same grounds??? WHY?? Why is There one Rule of Law for a private Citizen and another one for a Bank?”
Sakhrani Synopsis of First National Bank v. Sakhrani et al
It sucks that this is a very poor quality faxed document, apparently FNBA sued Majestic Home Mortgage, title companies and others for funding a loan after Sakhrani RESCINDED within the legally required 3 days to rescind a refi.
I’m not sure how this relates to the Ameriquest foreclosure—Mr. Sakhrani’s tel & fax is on all the documents and maybe someone with an interest in Ameriquest, mortgage fraud or corrupt judges could contact him and get some more info?
I’d really like to get a more readable version of the FNBA synopsis as well as a summary of the claims against Ameriquest.
And, there’s a ton of info on corrupt judges in NJ at http://www.crrol.org—check it ought.
It’s nice to see some people with the guts to name the judges.
