Newrez LLC d/b/a Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing v. Timothy Q. Thompson, Jr.

Filed: Jun 1, 2025
Type: CJ

What's This Case About?

Let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t just about a guy who stopped paying his mortgage. No, no, no. This is about a $135,800 loan gone sideways, a house in rural Okmulgee County that may or may not still have someone living in it, and a corporate army of attorneys, tax commissions, and phantom spouses descending like vultures on a property that, let’s be honest, probably has more squirrels than square footage. And now, in the grand tradition of American petty civil drama, we have Newrez LLC—aka Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, aka “the company that bought your debt and now wants every penny plus interest, late fees, property preservation costs, and probably your firstborn”—filing a lawsuit for $110,117.94 because Timothy Q. Thompson, Jr. allegedly missed a payment. One. Single. Payment. On June 1, 2025. That’s this year, people. This case hasn’t even had time to marinate.

So who is Timothy Q. Thompson, Jr.? Well, according to the mortgage, he’s a single man who, back in April 2019, borrowed $135,800 from Everett Financial, Inc., doing business as Supreme Lending (yes, really), to buy a plot of land at 13410 Celia Berryhill Road in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. That’s roughly 15 miles from Tulsa, if you’re into rural charm and deer ticks. The property? A modest homestead tucked into the northeast quarter of the northwest quarter of Section 20—because nothing says “American Dream” like a legal description that sounds like a geometry puzzle. He signed a 30-year mortgage with a fixed interest rate of 4.875%, promising monthly payments of $718.66. For six years, things seemed… fine. Normal, even. Payments were made, grass grew, maybe a squirrel or two was chased off the porch. But then—then—June 1, 2025, rolled around, and something went sideways. The payment didn’t go through. And according to the filing, that single missed payment triggered a nuclear clause buried deep in the fine print: the entire unpaid balance becomes due immediately. That’s right. One late check, and suddenly, boom—you owe $110,117.94. Not next month. Not after a reminder. Right now.

Now, before you start drafting your sympathy card, let’s unpack what actually happened—or at least, what the mortgage company says happened. Timothy, according to the petition, is in “default.” That’s the legal way of saying, “You didn’t pay, and now we’re coming for everything.” The document claims he failed to make the June 1 payment, didn’t cure the default, and has ignored all attempts to collect. So Shellpoint—now the note holder after buying the loan from the original lender—sent a formal demand, accelerated the loan (meaning they declared the full balance due), and filed this lawsuit to foreclose on the property. But here’s where it gets juicy: the defendants list reads like a government bingo card. It’s not just Timothy. It’s also “Spouse, if any,” which is either a cautious legal CYA or a subtle hint that Timothy might be hiding someone in the attic. Then there’s the State of Oklahoma ex rel Oklahoma Tax Commission—because yes, the state might have a lien on the property for unpaid taxes. And the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission? Possibly because Timothy owes unemployment overpayments. And Professional Finance Company? Who knows—maybe a second mortgage, maybe a timeshare timeshare. And finally, the pièce de résistance: “Occupant(s) of the Premises.” Not named. Not identified. Just… someone. Could be Timothy. Could be his cousin Dale. Could be a raccoon with a lease agreement written in acorns. The court wants them all served, just in case.

The legal claim here is straightforward: breach of contract. Timothy signed a note. He promised to pay. He didn’t. Therefore, he broke the contract. The mortgage company wants the court to confirm that yes, they’re owed $110,117.94 in unpaid principal, plus interest from May 1, 2025, plus all the fun extras—late fees, attorney fees, property preservation costs, escrow advances, and any other charges they’ve tacked on while trying to collect. They also want the right to foreclose and sell the house to recoup their money. It’s not punitive damages. It’s not a criminal case. It’s cold, hard contract enforcement—the kind of thing that keeps mortgage lawyers employed and homeowners awake at 2 a.m.

And let’s talk about that $110,117.94. Is it a lot? Well, yes and no. Timothy originally borrowed $135,800. He’s made six years of payments—72 months, to be exact—so you’d think he’d have chipped away at the principal. But thanks to the magic of amortization, where early payments are mostly interest, he’s only reduced the balance to about $110k. So the amount demanded isn’t inflated—it’s actually less than the original loan, which means the math checks out. But here’s the kicker: if he’d just kept paying, he’d have had 24 more years to slowly pay it off. Now, because of one missed payment, he’s facing total financial combustion. And for what? Was he sick? Did he lose his job? Did he forget to update his autopay? The filing doesn’t say. We only get the corporate side of the story—polished, procedural, and utterly devoid of humanity.

What’s wild is how impersonal the whole thing feels. This isn’t a dispute between neighbors over a fence. It’s not a landlord-tenant brawl. It’s a faceless corporation, represented by four attorneys from The Mortgage Law Firm, PLLC (yes, the firm’s name sounds like a parody), demanding money from a man they’ve never met, over a house they’ve never seen, using a legal instrument so standardized it literally says “Uniform Secured Note” at the bottom. The mortgage was even registered under MERS—Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems—a shadowy, now-infamous entity created to shuffle loans around without ever recording actual ownership. It’s like the financial version of a shell company, except for houses.

Our take? The most absurd part isn’t the debt. It’s the escalation. One missed payment—possibly due to a bank error, a lost mail, a typo in a routing number—and suddenly, the entire loan is called due. No grace period. No “Hey, Tim, you good?” No chance to catch up. Just boom, you’re in default, and the wolves are at the door. And while we’re not rooting for anyone to lose their home, we are rooting for a little more humanity in the system. If Timothy is living there, if he has been trying, if he just slipped up once—does it really make sense to torch the whole thing? On the flip side, if he’s abandoned the property, if he’s ghosted the loan, then sure, take the house. But the filing gives us zero context. It’s all procedure, no people.

So here we are: a man, a mortgage, and a mountain of legal paperwork over a payment that might’ve been $718.66. Will the court order the house sold? Will the state claim it for back taxes? Will “Spouse, if any” finally show up? Will the raccoon produce a lease? We don’t know. But one thing’s for sure—this is what the American Dream looks like when it goes to collections.

ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. NOTE April 12, 2019 OKMULGEE, OKLAHOMA 13410 CELIA BERRYHILL RD OKMULGEE, OKLAHOMA 74447 (Property Address) 1. BORROWER'S PROMISE TO PAY In return for a loan that I have received, I promise to pay U.S. $135,800.00 (this amount is called "Principal"), plus interest, to the order of the Lender. The Lender is EVERETT FINANCIAL, INC. D/B/A SUPREME LENDING, A TEXAS CORPORATION. I will make all payments under this Note in the form of cash, check or money order. I understand that the Lender may transfer this Note. The Lender or anyone who takes this Note by transfer and who is entitled to receive payments under this Note is called the "Note Holder." 2. INTEREST Interest will be charged on unpaid principal until the full amount of Principal has been paid. I will pay interest at a yearly rate of 4.875%. The interest rate required by this Section 2 is the rate I will pay both before and after any default described in Section 6(B) of this Note. 3. PAYMENTS (A) Time and Place of Payments I will pay principal and interest by making a payment every month. I will make my monthly payment on the 1st day of each month beginning on June 1, 2019. I will make these payments every month until I have paid all of the principal and interest and any other charges described below that I may owe under this Note. Each monthly payment will be applied as of its scheduled due date and will be applied to interest before Principal. If, on May 1, 2049, I still owe amounts under this Note, I will pay those amounts in full on that date, which is called the "Maturity Date." I will make my monthly payments at EVERETT FINANCIAL, INC. D/B/A SUPREME LENDING 14801 QUORUM DRIVE, SUITE 300 DALLAS, TEXAS 75254 or at a different place if required by the Note Holder. (B) Amount of Monthly Payments My monthly payment will be in the amount of U.S. $718.66. 4. BORROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY I have the right to make payments of Principal at any time before they are due. A payment of Principal only is known as a "Prepayment." When I make a Prepayment, I will tell the Note Holder in writing that I am doing so. I may not designate a payment as a Prepayment if I have not made all the monthly payments due under the Note. I may make a full Prepayment or partial Prepayments without paying a Prepayment charge. The Note Holder will use my Prepayments to reduce the amount of Principal that I owe under this Note. However, the Note Holder may apply my Prepayment to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Prepayment amount, before applying my Prepayment to reduce the Principal amount of the Note. If I make a partial Prepayment, there will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of my monthly payment unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes. 5. LOAN CHARGES If a law, which applies to this loan and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with this loan exceed the permitted limits, then: (a) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (b) any sums already collected from me which exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to me. The Note Holder may choose to make this refund by reducing the Principal I owe under this Note or by making a direct payment to me. If a refund reduces Principal, the reduction will be treated as a partial Prepayment. 6. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY AS REQUIRED (A) Late Charge for Overdue Payments If the Note Holder has not received the full amount of any monthly payment by the end of FIFTEEN calendar days after the date it is due, I will pay a late charge to the Note Holder. The amount of the charge will be 5.000% of my overdue payment of principal and interest. I will pay this late charge promptly but only once on each late payment. (B) Default If I do not pay the full amount of each monthly payment on the date it is due, I will be in default. (C) Notice of Default If I am in default, the Note Holder may send me a written notice telling me that if I do not pay the overdue amount by a certain date, the Note Holder may require me to pay immediately the full amount of Principal which has not been paid and all the interest that I owe on that amount. That date must be at least 30 days after the date on which the notice is mailed to me or delivered by other means. (D) No Waiver By Note Holder Even if, at a time when I am in default, the Note Holder does not require me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will still have the right to do so if I am in default at a later time. (E) Payment of Note Holder's Costs and Expenses If the Note Holder has required me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will have the right to be paid back by me for all of its costs and expenses in enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Those expenses include, for example, reasonable attorneys' fees. 7. GIVING OF NOTICES Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice that must be given to me under this Note will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to me at the Property Address above or at a different address if I give the Note Holder a notice of my different address. Any notice that must be given to the Note Holder under this Note will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to the Note Holder at the address stated in Section 3(A) above or at a different address if I am given a notice of that different address. 8. OBLIGATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER THIS NOTE If more than one person signs this Note, each person is fully and personally obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note, including the promise to pay the full amount owed. Any person who is a guarantor, surety or endorser of this Note is also obligated to do these things. Any person who takes over these obligations, including the obligations of a guarantor, surety or endorser of this Note, is also obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note. The Note Holder may enforce its rights under this Note against each person individually or against all of us together. This means that any one of us may be required to pay all of the amounts owed under this Note. 9. WAIVERS I and any other persons who has obligations under this Note waive the rights of Presentment and Notice of Dishonor. "Presentment" means the right to require the Note Holder to demand payment of amounts due. "Notice of Dishonor" means the right to require the Note Holder to give notice to other persons that amounts due have not been paid. 10. UNIFORM SECURED NOTE This Note is a uniform instrument with limited variations in some jurisdictions. In addition to the protections given to the Note Holder under this Note, a Mortgage, Deed of Trust, or Security Deed (the "Security Instrument"), dated the same date as this Note, protects the Note Holder from possible losses which might result if I do not keep the promises which I make in this Note. That Security Instrument describes how and under what conditions I may be required to make immediate payment in full of all amounts I owe under this Note. Some of those conditions are described as follows: If all or any part of the Property or any Interest in the Property is sold or transferred (or if Borrower is not a natural person and a beneficial interest in Borrower is sold or transferred) without Lender's prior written consent, Lender may require WHEN RECORDED, MAIL TO: EVERETT FINANCIAL, INC.

Property Insurance. Borrower shall keep the improvements now existing or hereafter erected on the Property insured against loss by fire, hazards included within the term "extended coverage," and any other hazards including, but not limited to, earthquakes and floods, for which Lender requires insurance. This insurance shall be maintained in the amounts (including deductible levels) and for the periods that Lender requires. What Lender requires pursuant to the preceding sentences can change during the term of the Loan. The insurance carrier providing the insurance shall be chosen by Borrower subject to Lender's right to disapprove Borrower's choice, which right shall not be exercised unreasonably. Lender may require Borrower to pay, in connection with this Loan, either: (a) a one-time charge for flood zone determination, certification and tracking services; or (b) a one-time charge for flood zone determination and certification services and subsequent charges each time remappings or similar changes occur which reasonably might affect such determination or certification. Borrower shall also be responsible for the payment of any fees imposed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in connection with the review of any flood zone determination resulting from an objection by Borrower. If Borrower fails to maintain any of the coverages described above, Lender may obtain insurance coverage, at Lender's option and Borrower's expense. Lender is under no obligation to purchase any particular type or amount of coverage. Therefore, such coverage shall cover Lender, but might or might not protect Borrower, Borrower's equity in the Property, or the contents of the Property, against any risk, hazard or liability and might provide greater or lesser coverage than was previously in effect. Borrower acknowledges that the cost of the insurance coverage so obtained might significantly exceed the cost of insurance that Borrower could have obtained. Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Section 5 shall become additional debt of Borrower secured by this Security Instrument. These amounts shall bear interest at the Note rate from the date of disbursement and shall be payable, with such interest, upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment. All insurance policies required by Lender and renewals of such policies shall be subject to Lender's right to disapprove such policies, shall include a standard mortgage clause, and shall name Lender as mortgagee and/or as an additional loss payee. Lender shall have the right to hold the policies and renewal certificates. If Lender requires, Borrower shall promptly give to Lender all receipts of paid premiums and renewal notices. If Borrower obtains any form of insurance coverage, not otherwise required by Lender, for damage to, or destruction of, the Property, such policy shall include a standard mortgage clause and shall name Lender as mortgagee and/or as an additional loss payee. In the event of loss, Borrower shall give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and Lender. Lender may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, any insurance proceeds, whether or not the underlying insurance was required by Lender, shall be applied to restoration or repair of the Property, if the restoration or repair is economically feasible and Lender's security is not lessened. During such repair and restoration period, Lender shall have the right to hold such insurance proceeds until Lender has had an opportunity to inspect such Property to ensure the work has been completed to Lender's satisfaction, provided that such inspection shall be undertaken promptly. Lender may disburse proceeds for the repairs and restoration in a single payment or in a series of progress payments as the work is completed. Unless an agreement is made in writing or Applicable Law requires interest to be paid on such insurance proceeds, Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on such proceeds. Fees for public adjusters, or other third parties, retained by Borrower shall not be paid out of the insurance proceeds and shall be the sole obligation of Borrower. If the restoration or repair is not economically feasible or Lender's security would be lessened, the insurance proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due, with the excess, if any, paid to Borrower. Such insurance proceeds shall be applied in the order provided for in Section 2. If Borrower abandons the Property, Lender may file, negotiate and settle any available insurance claim and related matters. If Borrower does not respond within 30 days to a notice from Lender that the insurance carrier has offered to settle a claim, then Lender may negotiate and settle the claim. The 30-day period will begin when the notice is given. In either event, or if Lender acquires the Property under Section 22 or otherwise, Borrower hereby assigns to Lender (a) Borrower's rights to any insurance proceeds in an amount not to exceed the amounts unpaid under the Note or this Security Instrument, and (b) any other of Borrower's rights (other than the right to any refund of unearned premiums paid by Borrower) under all insurance policies covering the Property, insofar as such rights are applicable to the coverage of the Property. Lender may use the insurance proceeds either to repair or restore the Property or to pay amounts unpaid under the Note or this Security Instrument, whether or not then due. 6. Occupancy. Borrower shall occupy, establish, and use the Property as Borrower's principal residence within 60 days after the execution of this Security Instrument and shall continue to occupy the Property as Borrower's principal residence for at least one year after the date of occupancy, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or unless extenuating circumstances exist which are beyond Borrower's control.
