A Northern California jury awarded a homeowner $16 million in a lawsuit claiming a mortgage service company backtracked on his loan modification.

Phill Linza ruffled through a stack of records and letters from his mortgage servicing company that he has been collecting for the past several years.

“This is about a third of all the paperwork that I have,” Linza said.

He applied for a home loan modification when he hit hard times during the recession and was granted one by PHH Mortgage Corp.
