Another Bankster Tagged By WV Non-Profit In Suit For Allegedly Screwing Over Homeowner With Unauthorized, Illegal Fees Clipped When Servicing Mortgage

In Charleston, West Virginia, The West Virginia Record reports:

• A couple are suing U.S. Bank National Association after they claim it violated their mortgage contract.
  
  The defendant repeatedly misrepresented amounts due on John and Esther Stitt’s account and assessed a variety of illegal fees to the account, according to a complaint filed March 14 in Kanawha Circuit Court.
  
  The Stitts claim the defendant also refused to credit payments on the account by either returning payments or placing the payments in suspense. Rather than provide the Stitts with any assistance, the defendant ultimately chose to pursue foreclosure, in violation of their mortgage contract, according to the suit.

• The Stitts claim during the course of servicing the loan, the defendant assessed unauthorized and illegal fees to their account and added fees that were never agreed to. U.S. Bank National Association breached its contract with the Stitts, according to the suit.
