A U.S. Marine Corps veteran who faced foreclosure on his Vancouver home while serving in Iraq has filed a lawsuit against the home’s lender, saying that the company violated a federal law that provides mortgage relief for active-duty military members.
In the federal lawsuit, Vancouver resident Jacob McGreevey is seeking $500,000 or an amount determined at trial from PHH Mortgage Corp. of New Jersey. That company, with HSBC Bank USA as trustee, foreclosed on McGreevey’s Hazel Dell home in September 2010, shortly after the Marine returned from active duty in Iraq.
According to the lawsuit, PHH Mortgage launched its foreclosure action against McGreevey in May 2010, after McGreevey had been called up from the Marines Reserve to active duty. The lender ignored McGreevey’s request upon his return to Vancouver two months later to attempt to refinance the home, instead posting a series of foreclosure notices on his garage door before foreclosing on the home.
