Common litigation issues between debtors and creditors

It’s somewhat common for debtors and creditors to have disagreements. Certain disagreements, however, are more likely to lead to litigation than others, including those related to businesses and corporate organizations. Some of the most common litigation matters between debtors and creditors include the following:

  • Mortgage foreclosure actions.Foreclosure litigation processes typically involve homeowners suing lenders on grounds of wrongful foreclosure or unlawful lending practices. Court actions are the likely result of situations in which a homeowner and a lender do not agree on how to cure a default in mortgage.
  • Mortgage loan modifications. Homeowners experiencing major financial hardships that may lead to foreclosure have the option to work with a lender to obtain a loan modification. This modification will change the terms of the mortgage loan so for the borrower to afford the payments. Often, attorney assistance is needed to negotiate the process of loan modification.
  • Lawsuits on promissory notes. Lenders typically issue promissory notes — signed documents containing a promise to pay a lender by a specified date — when distributing loans. If a borrower defaults on a promissory note, the lender may choose to file a lawsuit in court. This is initiated by filing a complaint, which specifies the breach of contract and asks that damages be awarded. These damages might include the unpaid balance due, interest, attorney fees and court costs.
  • Lien priority disputes. Mortgage liens are form of conditional ownership of a lender’s property, which is claimed by the home loan provider. These liens sometimes have different priorities on residential real estate. Title defects often cause disagreements over lien priorities, preventing homeowners from buying or selling property. Lien priority disputes can be handled through quiet title actions, negotiations or litigation.
  • Insurance disputes. Litigation is often required to handle a bad-faith dispute, which is a tort claim filed by an insured party against an insurance company. Insurance companies are required to act in good faith and fair dealing; a violation of this duty leaves the company exposed to lawsuits.
