Lawyer seeks class status for robo-signing lawsuit

(AP) LAS VEGAS — A lawyer in Las Vegas has filed a civil lawsuit seeking class-action status on behalf of homeowners he says have been hurt by the filing of fraudulent foreclosure documents during an alleged “robo-siging” scheme.

Matthew Callister said he wants a state judge to stop tainted home sales and evictions and order Lender Processing Services Inc. and several bank and mortgage companies to modify loans and pay monetary damages to affected homeowners.

“This is to say, ‘Stop. Let us try to modify the loan appropriately,'” Callister said. “Then we’ll seek damages.”

Jacksonville, Fla.-based Lender Processing Services said in a statement that it has acknowledged flaws in some documents filed in Las Vegas, but it denies the filings resulted in any wrongful foreclosures. The company promotes itself as the leading provider of mortgage processing, serving most U.S. banks and handling more than half of all foreclosures in the nation.
