UPDATE/Follow Up: Questions Arise over Sharon McBride’s July 2024 Mortgage

Redress South Bend has just received Sharon McBride's July 2024 mortgage refinance documents. These documents bring attention to a potentially controversial mortgage refinance involving Sharon McBride, obtained in July 2024 through Notre Dame Federal Credit Union (NDFCU). This situation raises concerns regarding the terms and conditions of the loan and McBride’s compliance as a borrower.

At the core of the issue is the occupancy clause outlined in the mortgage agreement. According to the document under "Uniform Covenants," borrowers are required to:
"“6. Occupancy. Borrower must occupy, establish, and use the Property as Borrower's principal residence within 60 days after the ex*****on of this Security Instrument and must continue to occupy the Property as Borrower's principal residence for at least one year after the date of occupancy."

McBride’s property in question, reportedly uninhabitable for nearly four years prior to the refinance, has yet to show evidence of compliance with these requirements. Legal disputes involving her insurance companies allege: "McBride has made no efforts to begin repairs to the interior of her home, which have now been festering at this point for over four years." and "McBride has allowed her Residence to sit fallow and allow the mold to proliferate during this litigation."

The next question that one must ask: how did a property that was uninhabitable, pass an inspection and appraisal for the banks refinance without requiring McBride to make necessary repairs to the home before granting the mortgage? According to documents, McBride's house was just valued at $159,625.00 and she took out a mortgage for $127,700.00 (the full 80% of the homes appraised value.)

With these developments, key questions emerge for Notre Dame Federal Credit Union:

Will NDFCU pursue default proceedings based on these alleged discrepancies?

Will the obligations requiring borrowers to maintain and protect properties be enforced evenly and fairly? (Will/did NDFCU give special treatment to McBride's mortgage over another mortgage?)

These unresolved issues cast a spotlight on the broader accountability of borrowers and lenders when it comes to strict adherence to loan agreements. Redress South Bend and community members are closely monitoring the case for updates.

Key allegations in the lawsuit focus on Sharon McBride's living arrangements. While seeking funds for temporary housing through her homeowner's insurance policy, Sharon McBride claimed she intended to live in an Airbnb. Instead, according to court documents, since September 2020, she has been living with her mother (in the 2nd district, outside of her elected district), Delores Walker, and paying her mother cash rent. “(McBride) even misrepresented her temporary housing intentions to Defendants and has instead been living with family since September 2020,” the defendants state in their memorandum for summary judgment.

Court records show that Citizens Insurance and Hanover Insurance provided McBride with $43,367.59 for expenses related to the damage, including $15,183.39 for dwelling repairs and $5,000 for mold remediation. However, they assert "McBride has made no efforts to begin repairs to the interior of her home, which have now been festering at this point for over four years."

A series of investigations have revealed significant evidence that alleges South Bend Common Council President Sharon McBride no longer resides in City of South Bend’s 3rd District, the area she is elected to represent. According to utility records, McBride’s home in the 3rd district showed no water usage for five months in 2024 (April, May, June, July, and September) and negligible usage for an additional four months. Historically (in 2023), water usage at her property ranged from 3-5 CCFs per month, making the 2024 data starkly inconsistent with prior patterns.

"I did not restrain her..." South Bend Common Council President Sharon McBride lies during a Common Council Meeting, nefariously claiming she did not restrain Sheila Niezgodski. McBride also claimed there was no video showing her actions. Sharon McBride's lie is even more notable considering she sat in on the executive session that exonerated Sheila Niezgodski of any wrongdoing for her assault. The video clearly shows McBride lied and continues to lie. If Sharon McBride will so boldly lie about this, what else is she lying about?

Exclusive Interview: Corey Odynski, Father of Alleged Bridge Link Program Escapee, Shares His Side of the Story with Henry Davis Jr. FULL VIDEO IN THE COMMENTS BELOW

In a call with Redress South Bend, South Bend Common Council member Ophelia Rodgers told Redress: "Why would you write stuff about everybody else and won't write and say that the police is lying?" Rodger's also stated: "You really gonna say that little skinny woman intimidated you?" Rodger's later threatened Redress with assault charges for asking the council members to make statements regarding misconduct. "You put the camera on us, hollering about, make a statement, what about assaults and violence?" "You did all of that to us. And we ain't filled no charges, but should we? I mean, I'm asking you, should we?" This is absolutely disgusting coming from our elected official. We deserve better.

When asked the last time he saw Probate Judge Jason Cichowicz, Cartwright replied: "Can't remember" I'll leave the inferences to you as to whether Cichowicz represented his relationship with Cartwright accurately or not.

Did you all see that Jason Cichowicz “loaned” his own campaign $150,000.00? This is a practice where candidates front the money for their campaigns and then pay themselves back when donations come in, sometimes even as late as after the election. Don’t let Cichowicz pay himself back with your vote…

Bank of America "retained concerns over elder financial abuse" when Cartwright was in Judge Jason Cichowicz' care.

When asked about his misconduct that led him to be suspended 45 days by the Indiana Supreme Court, Jason Cichowicz was quoted in a WVPE article saying: "I don't have any regrets. I would do it again.” https://www.redresssouthbend.com/post/opinion-is-judge-jason-cichowicz-s-re-election-just-a-get-out-of-jail-free-card
