ABLE Files Amicus Brief in the Ohio Supreme Court on Mortgage Servicing Misconduct
ABLE has joined several advocacy and legal services organizations in filing an amicus brief in the Ohio Supreme Court. The case, Voss v. Quicken Loans, LCC, concerns certification of the matter as a class action and plaintiffs’ standing to recover statutory damages for mortgage servicing misconduct. Arguing in support of class members, ABLE highlighted Ohio’s well-settled standing law and noted that overturning the lower court decision would impermissibly restrict the Ohio legislature’s authority to protect consumers by imposing monetary penalties. ABLE also highlighted other consumer protection laws in Ohio that could be adversely impacted.
