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

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

obtaining yield spread fees and sums in excess of what would

however the loan was a property loan not for commercial

documents them selves and was unaware to Plaintiff shows a
Breach and Unfair Business Practices in Plaintiffs loan.

proceedings upon the property lawfully belonging to
