Philip Kramer has filed a mass joinder lawsuit against GMAC (Locker v. Ally, Superior Court of California, Superior Court of Los Angeles, case quantity: BC 452 263) in what is potentially the most substantial and precedent-setting legal action taken against lenders as a result of the national foreclosure crisis, it was announced right now by Philip Kramer, Esq. of Kramer & Kaslow.

The firm has filed suit on behalf of a mass joinder of plaintiffs looking for damages and injunctive relief as a result of what it alleges is the bank’s fraud and several violations of Local, State, and Federal customer protection laws. Mr. Kramer says that relief is becoming sought for fraud, to quit the illegal sale of plaintiffs houses, to force the bank to cease and desist from their conduct, as well as to seek compensatory damages on behalf of the plaintiffs.

The lawsuit alleges that GMAC perpetrated a massive fraud, also constituting unfair competitors upon borrowers that devastated the values of their residences, resulting in the loss of net worth even as GMAC enriched itself by knowingly promoting economic instruments based on a value the bank knew to be unwarranted. The suit also alleges that GMAC additional intended to deprive many rights and treatments for the troubles they caused the borrowers and Mr. Kramer believes that the harm done to the plaintiffs is exceeded only by the scale of the banks conduct as asserted in the plaintiffs suit.

According to court documents, the lawsuit claims the bank disregarded underwriting standards and implemented a massive fraud that was concealed from borrowers and other mortgagees on an unprecedented scale. The lawsuit alleges that, as a outcome of the banks actions, borrowers lost equity in their houses, their credit ratings and histories have been destroyed and they incurred unnecessary charges and costs.

Mr. Kramer also claims that the lawsuit challenges the fraudulent and illegal use of MERS in connection with the loans and mortgages, as nicely as the defendants failure to perform their obligations pursuant to accepting TARP funds.

The lawsuit’s filing coincides with a recent choice in a class action suit that invalidated a lot more than ten,000 foreclosure circumstances managed by GMAC Mortgage due to the fact affidavits in the circumstances were signed by a GMAC robo-signer who, according to court documents, attested to the authenticity of foreclosure documents with out any knowledge about them, as nicely as signing other false statements in the case Manson v. GMAC Mortgage LLC, 08-cv-12166, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts (Boston).

Now, soon after years of abusing home owners and the greater public, the bank bullies are acquiring a excellent stiff legal punch in the nose.
