Unreconciled Sheriff's Sale Ledger: Who Received the Money? Bank of Ann Arbor States Requested Information Was Previously Provided or Does Not Exist
On August 3, 2017, Bank of Ann Arbor acquired 1745 Brian Court, 620 Geddes Ridge Avenue, and 630 Geddes Ridge Avenue through a sheriff's sale involving a credit bid of approximately $1.4 million. The Bank's loan transaction history subsequently reflects a February 26, 2018 principal payment of $1,151,261 and a March 2, 2018 charged-off principal entry of $294,675.65, together with other transactions including a December 19, 2017 principal payment of $78,200 and May 16, 2018 reinstated principal/principal payment entries totaling $13,878.20.
Bank of Ann Arbor has previously stated that it does not maintain a reconciliation, accounting worksheet, or other record reconciling the August 3, 2017 sheriff's sale credit bid to the subsequent transactions reflected in the loan ledger. As a result, Dr. Bradley Foerster and Dr. Myria Petrou submitted a June 9, 2026 Request for Information pursuant to RESPA and Regulation X seeking records sufficient to identify any third-party recipient of money or other transfer of value associated with the transactions reflected in the Bank's records.
On June 15, 2026, Bank of Ann Arbor responded that the requested information had either already been provided or did not exist within the Bank's records. The Bank further stated that it was not required to create new analyses or summaries and considered its obligations under Regulation X satisfied.
The June 15 response did not identify any third-party recipient of money or other transfer of value associated with the August 3, 2017 sheriff's sale credit bid, the February 26, 2018 principal payment of $1,151,261, the March 2, 2018 charged-off principal entry of $294,675.65, or the other transactions identified in the request. Nor did it identify any previously produced document containing such information.
On June 18, 2026, Dr. Bradley Foerster and Dr. Myria Petrou submitted the attached follow-up Request for Information. The correspondence states that the authors were unable to identify any document previously produced by the Bank that identifies a third-party recipient of money or other transfer of value associated with those transactions and requests identification of the specific documents, dates, pages, entries, and language upon which the Bank relies in asserting that the requested information was previously provided.
If no such records exist, the June 18 submission asks the Bank to state that position expressly.
