Calabasas, CA (PRWEB) April 21, 2011
Kramer-Kaslow, has filed a mass joinder lawsuit against Ally Bank, N.A. (ALLY) in Los Angeles Superior Court (Kennedy v. Ally, Case number BC459747) in what is potentially the most considerable and precedent-setting legal action taken against lenders as a result of the national foreclosure crisis, it was announced today by Philip Kramer, Esq. of Kramer & Kaslow.

The firm has filed suit on behalf of a mass joinder of plaintiffs in search of damages and injunctive relief as a outcome of what it says is the bank’s alleged fraud and several violations of Local, State, and Federal consumer protection laws. Relief is being sought for alleged fraud, to cease the alleged illegal sale of plaintiffs residences, to force the bank to cease and desist from their alleged outrageous conduct, as properly as to seek compensatory damages on behalf of the plaintiffs.

The lawsuit alleges that ALLY perpetrated a enormous fraud, also constituting unfair competition upon borrowers that devastated the values of their residences, resulting in the loss of net worth even as ALLY enriched itself by knowingly selling financial instruments primarily based on a value the bank knew to be unwarranted. The suit also alleges that ALLY further intended to deprive quite a few rights and treatments for the problems they caused the borrowers and Mr. Kramer says that he believes that the harm accomplished 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 requirements and implemented a enormous 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 homes, their credit ratings and histories have been destroyed and they incurred unnecessary fees and expenditures.

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

The lawsuit’s filing coincides with a current decision in a class action suit that invalidated far more than 10,000 foreclosure circumstances managed by GMAC Mortgage simply because affidavits in the circumstances had been signed by a GMAC robo-signer who, according to court documents, attested to the authenticity of foreclosure documents without having any information about them, as effectively as signing other false statements in the case Manson v. GMAC Mortgage LLC, 08-cv-12166, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts (Boston).

I am convinced that for the very first time that aggrieved homeowners are going to get a fighting opportunity, says attorney Philip Kramer. Till now, the banks have had their way, employing and abusing the technique at the expense of distressed homeowners across the nation. Now, soon after years of abusing home owners and the greater public, the bank bullies are obtaining a great stiff legal punch in the nose.
