I'll get that from the courthouse.I'll need the loan number of the mortgage wit US Bank, the GF may have this as she has been making payments, otherwise I will need the borrower's social security number forthe bank to lookit up as they probably won't give me the loan number at this point.I'm also going to need a Special Durable Power of Attorney from my inmate owner as he won't be showing up to do anything.
