Dear Congressman Grayson,
Thank you for writing your letter to Attorney General Lynch dated October 6, 2015 regarding mortgage fraud in the land records of one of your counties – Osceola – and likely many more and as it is in every state:

I believe that on behalf of the people your represent, and the people that all other Representatives and Senators represent, that you should consider researching filing suit under the False Claims Act and its qui tam provisions (or equivalent) against the major banks involved in stealing from the government via their phony loan modification processing with the HAMP and HARP programs and their equivalents due to not being note holder in due course.
In my case I have went through 4 loan modification applications and rejections with JPMorgan Chase 2009-2013. My last application was made in 12/2012 and took Chase over 6 months of ? processing (running up the bill/invoice to government for HAMP and HARP) only to be finally rejected again in 7/2013.
It seems to me the major banks involved with mortgage fraud and HAMP/HARP are doing the equivalent of what Custer Battles did to the government during the Iraq war. Which was your case where the jury verdict was more than $13 million, and was upheld on appeal in April 2009. Very good work and time for some more.
Could the False Claims Act and its qui tam provisions be applicable to the subject of the letter you sent US AG Lynch October 6, 2015 regarding mortgage fraud in the land records of counties? If not, what violation of laws on that level can be applied to those banks involved?
Congressman Grayson this letter was addressed to you per your vast experience in these issues – see below for benefit of others. Hopefully Senator Bennet, Senator Warren and Congressman Polis can get behind you in taking further action on this important matter for consumers and homeowners. I will do whatever I can to support this.
Thank you so much for all that you have been doing for a long time.

Alan Grayson worked as a law clerk at the Colorado Supreme Court in 1983,[11] and at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals from 1984 to 1985, where he worked with two judges who later joined the U.S. Supreme Court: Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia.[8] He was an associate at the Washington, D.C. firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson for five years, where he specialized in contract law.
In 1991 he founded the law firm Grayson & Kubli, which concentrated on government contract law. He was a lecturer at the George Washington University government contracts program and a frequent speaker on the topic.[9] In the 2000s, he worked as a plaintiffs' attorney specializing in whistleblower fraud cases aimed at Iraq war contractors. One contractor, Custer Battles, employed individuals who were found guilty of making fraudulent statements and submitting fraudulent invoices on two contracts the company had with the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq.[12][13] On behalf of his clients, Grayson filed suit under the False Claims Act and its qui tam provisions.[12] The jury verdict was more than $13 million, which was upheld on appeal in April 2009.
False Claims Act From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §§ 3729–3733, also called the "Lincoln Law") is an American federal law that imposes liability on persons and companies (typically federal contractors) who defraud governmental programs. It is the federal Government’s primary litigation tool in combating fraud against the Government.[1]The law includes a qui tam provision that allows people who are not affiliated with the government, called "relators" under the law, to file actions on behalf of the government (informally called "whistleblowing" especially when the relator is employed by the organization accused in the suit). Persons filing under the Act stand to receive a portion (usually about 15–25 percent) of any recovered damages. As of 2012, over 70 percent of all federal Government FCA actions were initiated by whistleblowers. Claims under the law have typically involved health care, military, or other government spending programs, and dominate the list of largest pharmaceutical settlements. The government recovered $38.9 billion under the False Claims Act between 1987 and 2013 and of this amount, $27.2 billion or 70% was from qui tam cases brought by relators.
Qui tam From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (It has been suggested that Private attorney general be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since December 2014.)
In common law, a writ of qui tam is a writ whereby a private individual who assists a prosecution can receive all or part of any penalty imposed. Its name is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase qui tam pro domino rege quam pro se ipso in hac parte sequitur, meaning "[he] who sues in this matter for the king as well as for himself."
The writ fell into disuse in England and Wales following the Common Informers Act 1951 but remains current in the United States under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq., which allows a private individual, or "whistleblower," with knowledge of past or present fraud committed against the federal government to bring suit on its behalf. There are also qui tam provisions in 18 U.S.C. § 962 regarding arming vessels against friendly nations, 25 U.S.C. § 201 regarding violating Indian protection laws, 46a U.S.C. 723 regarding the removal of undersea treasure from the Florida coast to foreign nations, and 35 U.S.C. § 292 regarding false marking. In February 2011, the qui tam provision regarding false marking was held to be unconstitutional by a U.S. District Court,[1] and in September of that year, the enactment of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act effectively removed qui tam remedies from § 292.[2]
Alan Mark Grayson is the United States Representative for Florida's 9th congressional district and a member of the Democratic Party. He previously served as Representative for Florida's 8th congressional district from 2009 to 2011. He was defeated for re-election in 2010 by Republican Daniel Webster[1] and was then elected in 2012 for a second, non-consecutive term in the House of Representatives, defeating Republican Todd Long.[2] In 2014 he defeated Republican challenger Carol Platt to win re-election.[3] On July 9, 2015, Grayson announced his intentions to run in theUnited States Senate election in Florida, 2016 to replace the retiring Marco Rubio.
Grayson was born in the Bronx, New York City, New York, to Dorothy Ann (née Sabin) and Daniel Franklin Grayson.[4][5]He graduated from Bronx High School of Science in 1975. Grayson worked his way through Harvard College as a janitor and night watchman, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts summa cum laude degree in economics in 1978.[6][7] After working two years as an economist, he returned to Harvard for graduate studies.[8] In 1983, he earned a Juris Doctor magna cum laude from Harvard Law School and a Masters of Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government. Additionally, he completed some of the requirements for a PhD in government—the course work and passing the general exams.[6][9] While in college Grayson was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society.
Grayson wrote his masters thesis on gerontology and in 1986, he helped found the non-profit Alliance for Aging Research in Washington, D.C., and served as an officer of the organization for more than twenty years.[10]
