Lender Alert: New Jersey Appeals Court Holds that Homeowners May Sue Over Denial of Mortgage Modifications

...the Court concluded that the trial modification agreement constituted a “unilateral offer,” by which the bank promised to give the homeowners a permanent loan modification if they fully complied with their obligations. If lenders fail to offer homeowners a permanent modification after full compliance with trial plans, they might be vulnerable to borrower lawsuits alleging breach of contract and possibly consumer fraud.
