Q: How do I sue the mortgage company for damages (they filed the foreclosure while I was making payments).
Altough the judge dissmissed the foreclosure, they still continue to report on my credit that I am in foreclosure. Case almost identical to David brash case. I want to do it pro se (have no $$). Thanks
A:
I am sorry to hear about your situation. Having handled foreclosure defense cases, I have learned that there are few things more frustrating than dealing with lenders. I am familiar with the case and it involved a 6 day jury trial. Cases against lenders are usually quite complex, there are formal rules of procedure, evidence and law that need to be followed. this kind of litigation is quite different from small claims cases that have victim and people frinedly rules and things are less formal. With all due respect, very few pro se litigants win outside of small claims cases.
Unfortunately, you did not post any specific facts, so I cannot really provide you with any constructive help. I am interested in learning more, so please feel free to contact me at my toll free number listed on my website at www.padovelaw.com. Also, please visit my consumer and victim blog www.todayslawalert.com. Hopefully, I will be able to provide some assistance.
