Philip Kramer has filed a mass joinder lawsuit against Wells Fargo/Wachovia (WELLS) (Nelson v. Wells Fargo, Superior Court of California, Superior Court of Los Angeles, case number: BC 452 264) 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 &amp Kaslow.

&#13

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 calls the bank’s fraud and multiple violations of Nearby, State, and Federal consumer protection laws. Relief is getting sought for fraud, to stop the illegal sale of plaintiffs properties, to force the bank to cease and desist from their conduct, as nicely as to seek compensatory damages on behalf of the plaintiffs.

&#13

Mr. Kramer says that the lawsuit alleges WELLS FARGO 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 Wells Fargo enriched itself by knowingly promoting financial instruments primarily based on a worth the bank knew to be unwarranted. Mr. Kramer also claims that Wells Fargo further intended to deprive many rights and treatments for the issues they caused the borrowers and believes that the harm carried out to the plaintiffs is exceeded only by the scale of the banks conduct as asserted in the plaintiffs suit.

&#13

According to court documents, the lawsuit claims the Bank disregarded underwriting requirements and implemented a massive fraud that was concealed from borrowers and other mortgagees on an unprecedented scale. The lawsuit alleges that, as a result 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.

&#13

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

&#13

The lawsuit’s filing coincides with a current decision in a class action suit in Maryland that invalidated far more than 10,000 foreclosure cases managed by Wells Fargo Mortgage because affidavits in the situations have been signed by a Wells Fargo robo-signer who, according to court documents, attested to the authenticity of foreclosure documents with out any knowledge about them, as well as signing other false statements in the case Manson v. Wells Fargo Mortgage LLC, 08-cv-12166, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts (Boston).

&#13

&#13

I am convinced that for the 1st time that aggrieved property owners are going to get a fighting opportunity, says attorney Philip Kramer.

Now, following years of abusing home owners and the higher public, the bank bullies are getting a good stiff legal punch in the nose.

Kramer-Kaslow: U.S. Foreclosure Procedures Could Lead to More Bank Accountability


Calabasas, California (PRWEB) May possibly 02, 2011

According to the New York Times, many of the nations prime mortgage servicers are acquiring prepared to sign agreements with regulatory officials to reform the way they deal with foreclosure procedures.

&#13

According to the article, sources who asked not to be named due to the fact the talks among the servicers and regulators are confidential, say there will be substantive adjustments to the ways banks and servicers do enterprise going forward. Homeowners will have a single get in touch with point rather than becoming shuttled back and forth amongst random servicing staff, bank and servicing personnel will acquire a lot more training, and oversight of the lenders and servicers will be assigned to third parties in all likelihood this will be performed by law firms. In addition, servicers will agree to halt foreclosure proceedings while loan modification discussions are ongoing. Yet another component of the agreement ostensibly provides for a compensation pool for folks who have been wronged.

&#13

Lawyer Philip Kramer of the law firm of Kramer &amp Kaslow feels the alterations are lengthy overdue. Lenders have been abusing property owners for years, Kramer says when contacted for a comment. What I see right here is banks agreeing to a bare minimum standard, one thing that ought to have been in location all along. The agreement doesnt begin to rectify the enormous wrongs that have been perpetrated. And these wrongs took spot more than a lengthy period of time. This strikes me as an try to stay away from responsibility rather than accepting responsibility.

&#13

Philip Kramer applauds the new rules but nevertheless feels that this is the bare minimum banks must have been undertaking all along. When the pressures on, people have a tendency to see the light, says Kramer. I have observed a lot of jailhouse conversions in my time. And thats what this feels like to me. The compensation system is probably to be entirely insufficient. My guess is that the banks are trying to get ahead of the Attorneys Generals and the civil law suits that are generating their way via the system.

&#13

According to Kramer, the proposed settlement agreement would be with bank regulators. He says the fifty Attorneys General, representing all the states in the union, are also conducting their own discussions with lenders and recently met at the Justice Division. Lenders appear to be positioning themselves to accept new regulations covering their activities even as they attempt to cut a separate deal with the Attorneys Generals and the Justice Department, says Kramer.

&#13

Philip Kramer feels that the banks have ultimately begun to acknowledge what he calls their outrageous conduct. Theyve recognized that what they have carried out is not going to be swept below the carpet, says Kramer. The American public has finally woken up to the egregious nature of the banks behavior. The banks get that. There is a lot of wrongdoing to be undone here. Frankly, what were seeing now strikes me as too little, too late.
