MO Court Asked to Widen Lender Net in Doc Fee Case
June 10, 2002
Plaintiff lawyers have asked a Missouri court to expand a class action lawsuit beyond the 15 named defendants to all mortgage lenders who have charged a document preparation fee for loans originated in the state. Borrowers claiming they were charged an illegal fee for a service they say only lawyers and duly licensed practitioners can provide under state law have filed a class action lawsuit to recover the fees.
