'Free house' couple's earlier foreclosures are questioned :: dmJuice.com: "On Thursday at the Register's request, officials at the IFA's Title Guarantee Division released the formal complaint it sent late last year to the banking division. The newspaper contacted the Title Guarantee Division, which provides title insurance for lenders, because it had tried to help Citimortgage in its legal battle with the Danielsons.

Matthew White, the IFA's deputy director, alleged in the complaint that both Jamie Danielson and her mother had worked for First Horizon, a lender involved in a mortgage with a relative, Troy Hudson.

In late 2006, Hudson succeeded in having his mortgage voided and won his house in foreclosure proceedings because his wife, Jodi, had not signed the loan. The loan was prepared by Danielson, the complaint says.

White and other IFA officials said in interviews Thursday that they believed the Hudson case foreshadowed the legal path that Danielson and her husband followed in the foreclosure on their Ankeny house the next year."
