2923.6(g) obviates a mortgage servicer’s duty to make a “written determination”

This is the first case I’ve seen that states this so clearly.Norris v Bayview Loan Servicing (CD Cal Jan 25 2016)

it is far from clear section 2923.6(g) obviates a mortgage servicer’s duty
to make a “written determination” of repeated loan modification applications. True
enough, the mortgage servicer need not “evaluate” such applications, but it still must,
according to the plain words of section 2923.6(c), inform the borrower of that decision.
Otherwise, the borrower would not know when to appeal the denial of his request and
when to argue that “there has been a material change in the borrower’s financial
circumstances since the borrower’s [first] application”—an explicit exception to the
general rule of section 2923.6(g). Defendants present no authority whatsoever
supporting their contrary interpretation of the statutory language.

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.
