Former Tea Party of Nevada candidate sues over efforts to foreclose on home

Defeated Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Jon Scott Ashjian is suing two lenders and a law firm, charging they’ve been wrongfully trying to foreclose on his Las Vegas home.

Ashjian, a Tea Party of Nevada candidate, picked up 1 percent of the vote in November’s election in which Sen. Harry Reid was re-elected.

An attorney for Ashjian and his wife Bonnie Ashjian filed suit this month against Bank of Nevada and Dovenmuehle Mortgage in Clark County District Court in hopes of blocking a foreclosure planned for their home on June 13.

That home, with an assessed value of about $204,000, is in northwest Las Vegas near Craig Road and Durango Drive.

Records indicate that after a foreclosure notice was filed against the property during the campaign, in October, the Ashjians were attempting to modify the mortgage or have it modified through mediation. They were also attempting to sell the home through a short sale, the suit says.

The suit claims the Ashjians were first told the foreclosure would be placed on hold indefinitely, but then on June 10 they were told the property would be sold on June 13.

Even after filing suit on June 10, filing a “lis pendens” that day with the Clark County Recorder cautioning anyone buying the property that it was the subject of a dispute, and notifying the lenders of the lawsuit, the property was sold at auction anyway, an amended lawsuit says.
