SWEENEY, JILL W vs. NEWREZ LLC (D/B/A SHELLPOINT MORTGAGE SERVICING) 

(Court 113, JUDGE  RABEEA COLLIER)

OCT 31, 2024 | REPUBLISHED BY LIT: NOV 1, 2024

New case. Bookmark for updates.

In the prior action before the state court, the allegations of non-receipt of notice of foreclosure persists again with new counsel.

In the disposed federal court case before Judge Hanen, wrongful foreclosure and breach of contract claims along with declaratory relief were all addressed as counts of the Sweeney’s complaint, as they became pro se litigants after Medearis withdrew and the Sweeney’s did not file a response to the motion for summary judgment.

Here again, the Sweeney’s represented by counsel allege similar allegations, although there are new causes of action.
