Jacko -- Backo Against Wall in Neverland Default!

When news broke last week that Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch was in foreclosure, his rep was quick to slam the reports, proclaiming that Jacko "was never in default of the loan." Off the wall?
Jacko default notice
It appears so, as The Mortgage Lender Implode-o-Meter (yep, that's the full name) has obtained a "Notice of Default and Election to Sell" that makes it clear that the property is in foreclosure, because the loan and interest in the amount of $23,212,963.83 is way, way overdue. The notice specifically states that "a breach of, and default in, the obligations for which the Trust Deed is security -- has occurred" -- because payment hasn't been made.

A silver lining for the King of Pop? The document says that he can still offer the property for sale, as long as the deal gets sealed before the foreclosure is wrapped up. Jackson's rep says that her earlier statement stands.

61. Sounds like Harvey Levin has done his homework. How can the rep for Jackson still stick to her original statement? What buyer would want a place that is so eerie, spooky and over done? I remember when they had to rescue some animals from Neverland after Jackson's trial because they were not being fed. Haunted memories linger there of unanswered and answered questions of alleged child molestation.

62. Speaking from a professonal standpoint, and as a previous Default Specialist, the laws in the state of California aren't going to allow a foreclosure to commence without due process, and yuor readers here don't seem to be aware of these laws. A foreclosure in this state has to start with a Notice of Defualt, and has to be posted publicly three times during the process, as well as posted physically and received by the Trustor (Mr. Jackson). It generally takes a good four months, and that's after the time that the payments are missed in succession for the default to stand in court. It's a long and expensive process. Besides, Brangelina are in negotiations to purchase the estate.
