Kramer and Kaslow: Utah Lawsuit Might Outcome in Less Foreclosures

Posted on by


Calabasas, CA (PRWEB) June 13, 2011

Philip Kramer of the Law Offices of Kramer and Kaslow announced that the case of Corey v. Countrywide Bank FSB et al (Case number: two:2011cv00409) is getting heard right now in Utah District Court to decide no matter whether or not MERS could be used as a beneficiary in Utah foreclosure instances.

&#13

Judge Dee Benson is presiding, and according to court documents, he has told the defendants, Bank of America (BAC) and ReconTrust (Parr Brown), that he believes, the existing federal court rulings (Rodeback, Burnett, etc.) in favor of MERS are negative law won by banks who have massive-firm attorneys who are generating legally unsound arguments and winning since the Plaintiffs Bar (homeowner-attorneys) have been outmatched by the bank attorneys, and have been producing the wrong legal arguments. Benson also went on to state on the record that he believes, MERS and securitization play a large role the foreclosure mess we are in.

&#13

According to court documents, an attorney at the law firm representing the plaintiff in this case stated that, while there are no guarantees as to Judge Bensons ruling, he has essentially invited us to lay out the appropriate arguments for why MERS is not the beneficiary of a mortgage and for that reason lacks authority to carry out the actions that only a beneficiary (the Lender) can do under a mortgage (like substituting Trustee ReconTrust and commencing non-judicial foreclosure proceedings on behalf of Bank of America).”

&#13

Consolidated plaintiff litigation attorney Philip Kramer, a senior partner at the firm of Kramer &amp Kaslow is watching the case closely. If the court guidelines that MERS is not a legal beneficiary, it strikes at the heart of many foreclosures. This may turn out to be a real turning point in the foreclosure crisis.

More of Philip Kramers comments on the case could be found at the Kramer and Kaslow blog.

Maryland Attorney Mike Slocumb Comments on Google Privacy Class Action Lawsuit and NSA Surveillance Case

Posted on by

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) June 13, 2013

Baltimore, Maryland private injury lawyer Mike Slocumb these days said his law firm is handling a class action lawsuit that has privacy troubles similar to the ones being raised in the story involving the National Security Administration and its collection of online content.

&#13

Slocumb mentioned his client, Matthew C. Knowles of Maryland, was interviewed by CBS News on June 11, 2013. Knowles is named as a plaintiff in a Google privacy class action lawsuit (Knowles v. Google, Inc., case number five:2013cv01601) filed April 9, 2013, in California Northern District Court. The lawsuit was originally filed in the District of Maryland.

&#13

In the complaint, Knowles alleges that Googles practice of intercepting emails sent to Maryland residents with Google Gmail accounts amounts to an invasion of privacy and is in violation of the Maryland Wiretap Act.

&#13

Knowles alleges in the complaint that the search engine giant routinely intercepts messages sent by non-Gmail subscribers to Gmail accounts without their understanding or consent. The lawsuit alleges that Google makes use of the details it gathers to create a targeted advertisement directed at the non-Gmail subscriber.

&#13

There are parallels between our consumers case and the case involving the government surveillance of private citizens, stated Slocumb, a personal injury lawyer with an workplace in Baltimore. Search engine firms are monitoring private emails, and the National Safety Agency is collecting domestic telephone information. The governments actions came to light following a former employee of a government contractor blew the whistle. In the case had been handling, our client is assisting to shine a light on what these search engine organizations are doing. Its offensive and in some instances illegal when somebody intercepts communications that parties have a correct to think is sensitive, privileged and confidential.

&#13

Edward Snowden, a former employee of a government contractor who admitted leaking secret government documents about the controversial surveillance applications, might soon be facing charges, according CBSNews.com report published on June 11, 2013, and titled Feds prepping charges against Edward Snowden: Sources.

&#13

Slocumb said some other states have privacy laws similar to Marylands. He stated other lawsuits have been filed against Google and Yahoo in California, alleging that the firms violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act. The 12 states with laws stating that each parties need to consent to being wiretapped or recorded include California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington and Illinois.

&#13

Slocumb said folks who reside in any of the above-mentioned states may be entitled to be a portion of a class action lawsuit. As personal injury lawyers, we think in protecting the rights of individuals who have suffered losses, regardless of whether its in an accident or its by way of the reckless action of a big corporation. In the case involving Google, we think the search engine firm is intercepting emails and making use of the content material without having the senders permission. We think our class action lawsuit is not just about any a single particular person. Its about safeguarding the rights of every person. Its about sending a message that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated.

Brookstone Law Computer: Massachusetts Lawsuit Against Lenders Has Large Prospective

Posted on by


Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) December 06, 2011

Progress on legal challenges against the nation’s five most significant mortgage lenders are facing a main legal challenge in Massachusetts is a constructive sign for relief-looking for home owners foreclosed on in Massachusetts in the course of the housing crisis according to Vito Torchia, Jr., managing attorney of Brookstone Law.

&#13

According to media coverage, in the first such lawsuit filed by a state, Massachusetts Atty. Gen. Martha Coakley claims that Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo &amp Co., JPMorgan Chase &amp Co., Citigroup Inc. and GMAC Mortgage utilized fraudulent documentation in the foreclosure processes, took back properties with out showing they owned the actual mortgages, and failed to uphold loan modification promises to borrowers in the state.

&#13

We applaud the Massachusetts attorney basic for lastly coming to the help of foreclosure victims and holding banks accountable for their systematic mismanagement, lack of due diligence and ongoing record of foreclosures without having following the rule of law,” stated Vito Torchia, Jr.

&#13

According to media coverage, the Massachusetts action represents a new challenge against the mortgage sector by increasing stress on banks to strike a deal with a coalition of Attorneys Basic in search of relief for shoppers allegedly wronged by faulty mortgage servicing practices. The suit could also serve as a blueprint for other individual states to file actions.

&#13

This case could have considerable repercussions throughout the nation and especially in California, exactly where our Attorney Basic has just begun to concentrate on the harm banks have done to homeowners in our state, stated Vito Torchia, Jr.

&#13

According to media coverage, negotiations for a deal of up to $ 25 billion between the banks, attorneys basic and federal agencies was expected to have been reached by now but talks have dragged on for much more than a year.

&#13

“This is a vitally important legal development that will most likely give State Attorneys General who want to go right after the banks a blue-print of how to do it,” stated Vito Torchia, Jr. “But without suitable and professional legal counsel, property owners will likely not be able to obtain the leverage in their negotiations they need to have to hold the banks accountable for their unlawful conduct.

&#13

In addition to criticism from customer groups and homeowners nationwide, media coverage consists of reports that New York, Delaware, Nevada, Massachusetts, Kentucky and Minnesota all signaled that they have been unhappy with the path of the talks with the banks, following issues that the banks have been getting let off too easily.

&#13

While several home owners are becoming unfairly foreclosed upon, the banks are negotiating a settlement that favors them and hurts shoppers, and they cant even do that appropriate. This is an appalling circumstance that ignores shoppers all through California and the nation who require support now, said Vito Torchia,Jr. Now far more than ever is the time for property owners to have powerful legal counsel to take benefit of these developments and at the very same time safeguard property owners rights.

&#13

According to media coverage, California Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris formally walked away from the negotiations soon after meeting with bank representatives in Washington, concluding that what they have been offering was not excellent enough for residents of the state. Given that then, proposals to attempt to entice her back to the table have been floated, as California is noticed as crucial to forging a powerful settlement. Harris has subpoenaed info from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as part of an inquiry into lending and foreclosure practices in the state. Her workplace lately subpoenaed Bank of America and its mortgage arm Countrywide Financial, along with Citi, searching for information on their practices selling mortgaged-backed securities in California.

&#13

“Rather of the controversial answer getting created by the banks and the federal government, this lawsuit and the improvement of actions by so a lot of State Attorneys Generals show that a 50-state settlement is not preferable to the states and most surely not to consumers, mentioned Vito Torchia, Jr. Soon after the harm they have brought on, and continue to trigger, banks do not deserve to have these concerns solved by way of a enormous and unfair federally-mandated settlement.”

UFAN Files New Lawsuit Against U.S. Bank on Behalf of Borrowers

Posted on by


Roseville, CA (PRWEB) January 26, 2012

On January 13, 2012 UFAN Legal Group, Computer filed suit against U.S. Bank in San Diego County Superior Court (case quantity 37-2012-00065195-CU-OR-EC) on behalf of borrowers allegedly injured by the Banks lending and servicing practices.

&#13

The complaint alleges that U.S. Bank schemed to profit from reckless and negligent lending practices that ensured borrowers would default on their mortgages. US Bank is alleged to have abandoned its personal underwriting standards in an effort to originate as several mortgages as possible for immediate sale on the secondary mortgage market. The complaint argues that since US Bank could immediately sell mortgages and get completely compensated, it incentivized fraud by loan officers and brokers by providing higher origination fees on subprime loans.

&#13

According to the complaint, Plaintiffs allege US Bank acted negligently in both the origination and modification of Plaintiffs loans. Plaintiffs argue that US Bank wore two hats 1 of a purported lender of money and a single as a developer and seller of residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS). By taking on such a dual function, US Bank was no longer acting as a mere lender of cash, but rather acting as a middleman in marketing and advertising and selling loans. US Bank breached its duty by abandoning standard underwriting standards and encouraging the origination of predatory loans, the complaint alleges.

&#13

The complaint alleges that U.S. Bank used falsified borrower info like credit ratings and income, as effectively as inflated property appraisals, as component of the origination method. It is argued that US Bank incentivized property appraisers and loan originators to falsify this info in order to spot borrowers in bigger and more dangerous loans. The higher the loan quantity, the much more income U.S. bank was able to make on the sale of the RMBS to investors. The complaint suggests that Plaintiffs borrowed excessively in reliance on this falsified info and were harmed by the excessive debt burden.

&#13

Plaintiffs also allege negligence on the part of U.S. Bank associated to the servicing of Plaintiffs loans. Plaintiffs have been lured into a false sense of security by means of the modification procedure, and relied to their detriment on representations by U.S. Bank that a modification would be forthcoming. The complaint alleges that no modification was, in reality, intended and that Plaintiffs placed false hope and abandoned other legal rights in reliance on the modification procedure. In numerous circumstances, Plaintiffs had been induced to default on payments to qualify for modification. US Bank had an interest in foreclosing on Plaintiffs as it no longer held the threat of default and now receives charges for foreclosing.

&#13

Plaintiffs argue that US Bank was in a position to foresee this detrimental reliance and subsequent harm, and consequently breached its duty to Plaintiffs.

&#13

The complaint against U.S. Bank is the newest lawsuit filed by UFAN on behalf of borrowers alleged to have been injured by the lending and servicing practices of the major banks. Home owners believed to have been injured by way of the mortgage practices of US Bank or other individuals are urged to get in touch with UFAN.
