Judge Adopts Recommendation To Partially Dismiss Class Action Over Lender’s Letter

Mealey's (November 14, 2019, 11:42 AM EST) -- MINNEAPOLIS — A federal judge in Minnesota on Nov. 7 adopted a magistrate judge’s Oct. 21 recommendation to partially dismiss a lawsuit brought by a proposed class of Minnesota borrowers who claim that a loan servicer violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) when sending a letter informing them that their mortgage loans were in default, finding that the loan servicer did not say in the letter that it would immediately foreclose on the loan if a payment was not received by the expiration date (Anita Fisher v. Nationstar Mortgage LLC, et al., No. 19-cv-01382, D. Minn., 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 194423)....
