From the article:
A friendly reminder: anybody can file a lawsuit, collecting a judgement is quite another thing.Widow sues
His wife, Wando Jo Engel, is suing Chase, according to the Huffington Post, in a wrongful death suit. The Engels were among a number of people who had been given similar instructions. They were told to miss at least one payment to qualify for a troubled mortgage refinance, only to fall into foreclosure after the bank decided to not follow through. Chase hadn’t filed foreclosure proceedings yet, but were in the early stages.
Two things pop out at me:
1) both the bank and the client appear to have engaged in an act of collusion to defraud the federal "Making Home Affordable Program", since the client was not eligible for the program at the time he first inquired about refinancing his mortgage.
2) despite the headline and claims of the next-of-kin, the bank had not yet foreclosed on his mortgage when the client had the heart attack.
How can someone make a legal claim against a co-conspirator who gets cold feet and backs out of a plan to defraud the government?
How can someone make a legal claim that a fatal heart attack was induced by a legal proceeding, particularly one that was only in the initial stages and had not yet resulted in a foreclosure?
