(Adam Fagen)When you don’t follow the rules, you’re likely to get into a bit of trouble. In this case, JPMorgan Chase found itself party to a lawsuit alleging the company violated a law aimed to protect homeowners. An Ohio woman filed suit in U.S. District Court in Cleveland against Chase alleging that the company violated a provision of the Dodd-Frank law that requires lenders to work in good faith with consumers who have applied for a home loan modification, The Plain Dealer reports. According to the complaint, Chase filed a foreclosure against the woman despite the fact that she had a pending loan modification request with the lender. The woman’s attorney contends that Chase’s actions were in violation of the Home Affordable Modification Program law that helps consumers who are dealing with subprime or other home loans that they can’t afford. Under the law, a servicer cannot file for foreclosure when a modification application has been filed.
