ASPEN, District Court Judge: Defendants Ameriquest Mortgage Company; AMC Mortgage Services, Inc.; Town & Country Credit Corporation; Ameriquest Capital Corporation; Town & Country Title Services, Inc.; and Ameriquest Mortgage Securities, Inc. move to dismiss the borrower plaintiffs’ Consolidated Class Action Complaint in its entirety. Defendants contend that: a) plaintiffs have failed to show through “clear and specific allegations of fact” that they have standing to bring this suit; b) plaintiffs’ first cause of action, for a declaration as to their rescission rights under the Truth-in-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1601, et seq., fails because TILA rescission is not susceptible to class relief; c) plaintiffs’ second and third causes of action fail because neither the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1691, et seq., nor the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681, et seq. require notices of “adverse actions” in this case; and d) plaintiffs’ twelfth cause of action fails because California’s Civil Legal Remedies Act, Cal.

PENNEY and * DONNA PENNEY, * * Plaintiffs, * * v. * Civil Action No. 16-cv-10482-ADB * DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST * COMPANY, et al., * * Defendants. * * MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT BURROUGHS, D.J. Plaintiffs Gerard M. Penney and Donna Penney initiated this lawsuit against Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee of the Soundview Home Loan Trust 2005-OPT3 (“Deutsche Bank”) and Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC (“Ocwen”) to stop a foreclosure on their home. On March 15, 2017, the Court dismissed all of the Plaintiffs’ claims in the Amended Complaint [ECF No. 21], except for the request in Count I for a declaratory judgment that the mortgage at issue is unenforceable against Donna and therefore a foreclosure cannot proceed. [ECF No. 39]. Deutsche Bank then filed counterclaims for fraud (Count I against Gerard), negligent misrepresentation (Count II against Donna), equitable subrogation (Count III against the Plaintiffs), and declaratory judgment (Count IV against the Plaintiffs). [ECF No. 55]. Currently pending before the Court are Ocwen’s motion for summary judgment on Count I of the Amended Complaint [ECF No. 57], and Deutsche Bank’s motion for partial summary judgment on Counts III and IV of the counterclaims [ECF No. 60].1 For the reasons stated below, 1 Deutsche Bank also joins Ocwen’s motion for summary judgment. [ECF Nos. 63, 64]. 1 Case 1:16-cv-10482-ADB Document 70 Filed 08/01/18 Page 2 of 19 Ocwen’s motion is DENIED and Deutsche Bank’s motion is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.

FRAUD IN FINANCIAL CRISES ABSTRACT The financial crisis of 2007-2009 was marked by widespread fraud in the mortgage securitization industry. Most of the largest mortgage originators and mortgage-backed securities issuers and underwriters have been implicated in regulatory settlements, and many have paid multibillion-dollar penalties. This paper seeks to explain why this behavior became so pervasive. We evaluate predominant theories of white-collar crime, finding that those emphasizing deregulation or technical opacity identify only necessary, not sufficient conditions.

The final rule is intended to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts and practices in mortgage lending and to restrict certain mortgage practices. Higher-Priced Mortgage Loans1 The four key protections of the newly defined category of “higher-priced mortgage loans” for loans secured by a consumer’s principal dwelling will Prohibit a lender from making a loan without regard to the borrower’s ability to repay the loan from income and assets other than the home’s value; Require creditors to verify the income and assets they rely upon to determine repayment ability; Ban any prepayment penalties if the payment can change in the initial four years and, for other higher-priced mortgages, restrict the prepayment penalty period to no more than two years; and Require creditors to establish escrow accounts for property taxes and homeowner’s insurance for first-lien higher-priced mortgage loans. All Loans Secured by a Consumer’s Principal Dwelling In addition, the rules adopt the following protections for all loans secured by a consumer’s principal dwelling though it may not be classified as a higher-priced mortgage: OCC Bulletin 2009-7 Page 2 of 2 Creditors and mortgage brokers are prohibited from coercing a real estate appraiser to misstate a home’s value.
