Mitchell J. Stein, Esq.: Military Families’ Foreclosure Fiasco Offers Ominous Warning in Dealing with Banks

Posted on by


Hidden Hills, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) January 20, 2011

Recent revelations that one particular of the nations biggest lenders overcharged thousands of military households for their mortgages, like households of troops fighting in Afghanistan, and improperly foreclosed on a lot more than a dozen military households highlights the extent of the foreclosure crisis and the disadvantages home owners face with no specialist legal help in foreclosure actions, according to Mitchell Stein, Esq. of Mitchell Stein &amp Associates.

&#13

The revelations have been the outcome of a lawsuit filed by Marine Capt. Jonathan Rowles, a fighter jet pilot who has served the nation as a Marine for five years, against JP Morgan Chase soon after he and his wife, Julia, attempted unsuccessfully for numerous years to get a loan modification. The lawsuit has received national focus and brought on a assessment of every single mortgage involving active duty personnel by the bank, which has admitted overcharging the family by as significantly as $ 900 a month, hitting them with three-a-day collection calls and claiming they owed as much as $ 15,000 — even even though they didnt owe something and had never ever missed a mortgage payment.

&#13

These committed members of the armed forces would have lost their residences via blatant mismanagement of their mortgages by JP Morgan Chase, said Mitchell J. Stein, a 25-year award-winning litigator, trial lawyer, and philanthropist committed to safeguarding consumers and victims’ rights in reigning in abusive practices of banks, lenders and others. No amount of PR spin and backpedaling can make up for the harm the bank has carried out to the lives of thousands of our service men and women and their families.

&#13

Beneath the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), active-duty troops usually get mortgage interest rates lowered to six percent and are protected from foreclosure. A Chase official told NBC News that some four,000 troops could have been overcharged. Whats much more, the bank found it improperly foreclosed on the residences of 14 military families.

&#13

Chase could have repeatedly violated the SCRA, which is developed to protect troops and their households from economic pressure although theyre in harms way, said Mitchell J. Stein. It is unfortunate that a lawsuit was needed to get them to act within the law and it is probably we will see this scenario repeated as the foreclosure crisis continues.

&#13

The Rowles records show that whilst they had been creating payments at six %, the bank had been charging them at prices above 9 or ten %. They known as the bank repeatedly to explain the error with no success and then the bank started harassing them for funds they did not owe, like threatening to take their property and report them to a credit agency. Following collection calls began occurring at 3 am on weekends, the Rowles sued Chase for himself and other members of the military.

&#13

At a time when millions of Americans are fighting for their properties due to foreclosure, this shows how banks and lenders often willfully ignore the law and wrongfully throw individuals out of their homes, and it is especially despicable that Chase treated our servicemen and females this way. Primarily based on what can only be described as a terrible mess, it is reasonable to ask: In addition to the military families, how a lot of non-military households has this bank wrongfully foreclosed on? said Mitchell J. Stein.

&#13

The case is Rowles vs Chase Residence Finance, LLC 9:10-cv-01756-MBS
