Unlawful Foreclosure Damages Explained
Summary
In Massachusetts, damages in unlawful foreclosure cases often consider the equity in the home. If the foreclosure involved fraud, coercion, or illegality, it can significantly impact the case. Evidence such as lender testimony and violations of Chapter 271, Section 49, which caps interest rates at 20%, can strengthen your position. Voiding a foreclosure may still allow for suing for damages. Appeals courts review lower court decisions, not new damage claims, which require a separate lawsuit. Housing courts handle foreclosure but not criminal usury. If indigent, you can request court-appointed counsel. Consider filing a motion to vacate judgments based on fraud.Full Conversation

Background:
This motion arises from a complex case involving a fraudulent foreclosure. I am appealing the lower court's decision, which resulted in the loss of my home due to fraudulent actions by the opposing counsel and other parties involved. This case involves significant legal issues, including fraud, coercion, and violations of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter *, Section *.
Evidence of Indigency:
The court has already approved my affidavit of indigency and accepted myfinancial status. Therefore, I am unable to afford legal representation on my own.
Efforts to Secure Counsel:
I have made multiple attempts to secure legal representation. However, due to my financial constraints, I have been unable to retain an attorney. Despite these efforts, I lack detailed records of my attempts but can provide further explanation if needed.
Conclusion:
Given the complexity of my case and my established indigency, I respectfully request the court to appoint counsel to assist me in this appeal. Your consideration of this motion is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Karen Merritt
