FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION

Negligence Misrepresentation

11. Plaintiff repeats and realleges Paragraphs 1 through 10

as though fully set forth herein.

12. On information and belief, Plaintiff alleges that

Defendants Meridian Mortgage and each of them are agents or

employees or persons actively involved in the extension of

credit.

13. In September 2006, Plaintiff gave a note for $380,000 to

PR Investor Services, Inc. as an agent for Defendant,

Meridian Mortgage Investors Fund VII,LLC. The Note was

secured by a Deed of Trust on a 34.73 acre property in

Albemarle County owned by Plaintiff, Donnie Dunn. The

property is unoccupied and has remained in Plaintiffs family

for several decades, Plaintiff took out a $380,000 loan to

do some improvements. The mentioned property is not in any

way commercial property and was going to be used as

residential property.

14. Defendants failed to provide information to Plaintiff on

his adjustable-rate 6-month Libor loan.

15. The Defendants, and each of them did not explain the

difference between the Libor rate and Treasury rate.

Defendants did not work the loan in the best interest of the

plaintiff as to the difference in the rates.

16. Defendant’s failed explained to Plaintiff the difference

between the interest rates between the two, Libor and

Treasury rates. Since 2007, the rates on which the indexes

are based have diverged sharply, and borrowers with Libor-

based adjustable-rate mortgages are paying more than they

would have had their mortgages been tied to treasuries.

Moreover , the proportion of libor-based ARMs has increased

significantly, especially for subprime loans. Libor has

risen to unprecedented levels.

17. Plaintiff further alleges that doctrines of mutual and

unilateral mistake sometimes condition liability itself on

the information that was (or was not) communicated prior to

the contract. In a similar way, the rules of contract

formation (including the doctrine of unconscionability)

sometimes block the enforcement of entire terms that were

not adequately communicated in advance. In addition,

misrepresentation and nondisclosure can themselves be

grounds for rescinding an otherwise valid contract, as well

as the basis for damages in a tort. (Virginia Law Review

Vol. 92, June 2006,No.4)

18. Plaintiff further alleges that these violations are such

as to require rescission or cancellation of the loan herein

and return of all funds received by Defendants from

20. Plaintiff further alleges that he is entitled to

attorney fees according to statute in the event that they

retain counsel.

SECOND CAUSE OF ACTIONENTERPRISE LIABILTY FRAUD

Plaintiff repeats and realleges Paragraphs 1 through 10

as fully set forth herein.

Based upon information and belief, and on that bases

Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants and each of them fall

within the Enterprise Liability Doctrine.

21. Defendants, and each of them failed to disclose the term

Of the loan. Defendants giving Plaintiff a 6 month

adjustable rate Libor loan, then using it as a one year

balloon payment with the monies received constitutes

fraud with in the meaning of the statute of fraud within

Virginias statute.

22. Defendants in their loan documents never mention of a

balloon payment, only a 6 month Libor adjustable loan with

plaintiff. Defendants after using the 1 year balloon payment

other material fact has been misrepresented or not disclosed

towards Plaintiff.

24. Plaintiff on information and belief, and on that bases

Plaintiff alleges that Defendant and each of them, placed

loans for the purpose of unlawfully increasing or otherwise

obtaining yield spread fees and sums in excess of what would

have been lawfully earned.

25. Based upon information and belief, and on that basis

plaintiff alleges that Defendant Meridian Mortgage

however the loan was a property loan not for commercial

purposes but to use as residential.

funds on a balloon payment that does not exist in the loan

documents them selves and was unaware to Plaintiff shows a

Breach and Unfair Business Practices in Plaintiffs loan.

33. Plaintiff alleges that the commencement of foreclosure

proceedings upon the property lawfully belonging to
