Lender liability claims typically arise when a lender’s actions go beyond loan terms and negatively impact a borrower’s rights, property value, or the opportunity to cure defaults.
These claims can involve misrepresentation, failure to honor duties, improper acceleration, or violations of state and federal lending laws during foreclosure or loan workouts.
A lender liability claim is a civil action that challenges improper lender conduct—such as misrepresentation, breach of duty, or coercive actions—that harms a borrower’s property interests or ability to manage a loan.
Common elements include breach or breach of contract, failure to act in good faith, misrepresentation, and procedures such as filing a complaint, discovery, negotiations, and, if needed, trial.
This glossary covers terms borrowers and lenders encounter in lender liability claims, from basic concepts to remedies under California law.
