the “mistakes” of “lenders” are neither mistakes nor are the parties seeking foreclosures “lenders” or “servicers.”

In yet another case of illegal conduct in a foreclosure the high Court of Montana affirmed an award of $427,000 against Bayview who will undoubtedly get the money from CitiMortgage for whom they were fronting the foreclosure. As these cases increase in their frequency, judicial attitudes will change — specifically that the “mistakes” of “lenders” are neither mistakes nor are the parties seeking foreclosures “lenders” or “servicers.”
Some quotes from the case that are self-explanatory:
The total award includes damages and attorney’s fees awarded because Bayview Loan Servicing LLC of Coral Gables, Florida — despite losing their case — notified Robin and Kathleen Jacobson that it was adding over $50,000 of its attorney’s fees to their mortgage.
“We do not find error with the District Court’s damage award because it is reasonable compensation for the substantial injury and financial detriment suffered by the Jacobsons,” state Supreme Court Justice Michael Wheat wrote in the 5-0 ruling Wednesday.
The Jacobsons’ problems with Bayview haven’t ended, the couple’s attorney, Ray Kuntz, said Thursday. They can’t determine from county records to whom they should be making their mortgage payments and on Tuesday, Bayview sent them another default notice, Kuntz said.
Over the next several years Bayview encouraged the Jacobsons not to make mortgage payments so they could qualify for a loan modification, made false promises to them about modifying their loan and then misinformed them about their rights, court documents said.

I think the one who got the 1099 can probably look up the 31 U.S. Code § 3802 – False claims and statements; liability

Maybe they should see a lawsuit for that claim, and explain their selves.
Yeah.
I am not a lawyer. I do not know legal things, so how can I give legal advice.
