Reasons to File a Lawsuit Against a Mortgage Lender

Although it may not seem like a common claim, countless people pursue legal action against their mortgage lender for negligence, such as breaching the terms of a loan agreement or other wrongful acts. In fact, some of the more common lawsuits that tend to arise against a mortgage lender are due to:

  • Mortgage fraud

Sue Your Mortgage Lender for Mortgage FraudMortgage fraud often occurs when incorrect information is provided on a loan application. Even though many times, it is the applicant who can be charged with this type of fraud, mortgage lenders can also get in trouble, such as when they forge a mortgage contract.
Sue Your Mortgage Lender for Predatory LendingMortgage lenders have been known to target buyers, especially elderly borrowers or first-time borrowers, and try to get them to accept incredibly high-interest rates or unreasonable loan terms. As a result, if you can prove that your lender took part in this predatory lending, you may be able to file a lawsuit against them.

Consequently, if you believe your mortgage lender has discriminated against you, you may have a valid legal claim.

File a Lawsuit Against Your Mortgage Lender for Negligence by Yourself

If you have a dispute with your mortgage lender, you will first need to review your original loan documents to understand your rights against the mortgage lenders. This is because these documents will contain relevant information regarding your ability to pursue legal action, such as your obligations under the contract, as well as the lender's duties and responsibilities. Once you gather all of this paperwork, you can then contact the mortgage lender and see if they can resolve the dispute you have with them. If that does not work, you can then:

  1. Proceed with legal action. However, most contracts will require that you exhaust all of your available administrative remedies before pursuing legal action against your mortgage lenders. As a result, you must keep solid documentation of all the communications you had with the lender.
  2. File a claim against them. In most instances, a lawsuit against the mortgage lender will be based on a breach of contract, where you seek compensation for the losses you suffered or other specific performance under the contract.
  3. Head to trial. If you and the mortgage lender cannot settle this dispute, you may need to head to trial to get your issues resolved.

As you can see, taking on this legal claim yourself is not easy and will require many detailed steps. Worse yet, if you miss any of these steps, you can lose your case before it even gets started.
