7th Circuit court of Appeals

Case Name: Daniel Diedrich et al v. Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC

Case No.: 15-2573

Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and KANNE and ROVNER, Circuit Judges.

Focus: RESPA Violation

The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) sets forth specific procedures that a mortgage lender or mortgage servicing company must follow in response to a borrower’s request for information. Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC failed to follow the letter of the procedure when responding to the plaintiffs Daniel and Natalie Diedrichs’ request for information. The Diedrichs sued, but the district court granted summary judgment for Ocwen, finding that the Diedrichs had failed to set forth sufficient facts, which, if taken as true, would establish that they were injured by the RESPA violation. The Diedrichs appealed and we affirm.
