CLEVELAND-
In one of the first cases of its kind in Ohio, a Youngstown-area woman is suing JPMorgan Chase for allegedly violating a new law aimed at protecting home owners.
Bethanne Wasko, of Poland, has filed a complaint accusing the nation’s largest bank of violating a provision of the Dodd-Frank law that requires lenders to work in good faith with customers who have applied for a loan modification.
Instead of trying to work with Wasko, Chase “literally did everything the opposite,” said Cleveland attorney Marc Dann, who is representing Wasko. Chase declined comment.
