Subject: Demurrer reversed based on allegations of modification agreement alleging formation of contract

In a homeowner’s suit for breach of contract arising from the failed loan modification and eventual foreclosure sale of her home, trial court’s order sustaining a demurrer is reversed to the extent it is based on allegations regarding the parties’ modification agreement, as plaintiff alleged formation of a valid contract to modify her loan documents and sufficiently alleged breach of that modification agreement. Further, plaintiff should be permitted to allege a cause of action for breach of covenant and good faith and fair dealing based on breach of the modification agreement and also be permitted to amend the complaint to allege a cause of action for common law wrongful foreclosure based on the valid modification agreement.

I have spent most of my professional life helping people who were being taken advantage of by systems they did not fully understand. As an attorney, I represented consumers against predatory lending practices and worked in elder law protecting seniors from fraud. My family lost $239,145 to identity theft, which became the foundation for my seniorgard.onlime and deepened my commitment to financial education. Since 2008, I have maintained a blog at timothymccandless.wordpress.com providing free financial education. Not behind a paywall. Free, because financial literacy should not cost money. I trade with real money using the exact strategy described in this book. My current positions: Pfizer at $16,480 deployed generating $77,900 per year net. Verizon at $29,260 deployed generating $51,000 per year net. Combined: 293% annualized pace. These are my only active positions. Not cherry-picked.
