A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging LoanCare LLC and American Security Insurance Company force-placed excessive insurance policies on borrowers’ property.
If you were charged by LoanCare LLC for a lender-placed insurance policy for your residential property between Jan. 1, 2009 and Oct. 19, 2016, you may be entitled to benefits from the LoanCare class action settlement.
It is not illegal for a lender to force-place an insurance policy on a borrower’s property if the borrower fails to maintain a policy that is acceptable to the lender. However, the lender-placed insurance policy must be reasonable.
The plaintiffs assert LoanCare force-placed insurance policies in a manner such that it would receive an unauthorized benefit. According to the force-placed insurance class action lawsuit, LoanCare force-placed insurance policies so that it would receive “kickbacks” in the form of commissions or other payments from the Assurant defendants.
The force-placed insurance class action lawsuit asserts that the insurance policies LoanCare imposed upon borrowers caused their rates and the amount of insurance coverage to be excessive.
The defendants deny any wrongdoing and maintain that their actions were authorized by law. However, they agreed to settle the force-placed insurance class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and uncertainty of ongoing litigation.
If you would like to opt out of or object to the LoanCare class action settlement, you must do so no later than Feb. 17, 2017.

U think this is all they do illegally?
I’ve litterally been on my own over here in panama city Florida 32405
For well over 3 yrs and its going into 4yrs of solid foreclosure proceedings they have inacted illegally on me and my wife’s PAID OFF PROPERTY. Yes paid off with insurance claim check for damages from hurricane Michael. That i and some contractors invested in and repaired in order to even get a %100 inspection back for loancare and the insurance company’s in order for them to even reimburse me. Then i had to get a insurance adjuster to just get them to repay me for my initial materials investment in order to get the repairs done. Then after fighting that fight for over almost a year i got a insurance claims chevk of $270,000.00 and my mortgage at the time of pay off was $214,000. 00. So they saud i needed to sign it (Ocwen loan servicing, at that time they serviced the loan) then apparently because they were being class action sued they went bankrupt. But before they went bankrupt they doubled my initial loan amount then took my 214k and paid off half of the loan. Then sold the debt to lakeview also known as loancare llc and a bunch of other names that I’ve kept up with over the last 4yrs.
But that is besides the point.
Because even that made no since. Or at least to anyone being serviced by loancare or lakeview should really have an accountant or mathematics person take a look at their escrow amounts and numbers. Because they wont make since…etc
I have well over 694 illegally documented actions from both loancare llc and lakeview loan servicing llc. And their jointly named companies like “Lakeview loan servicing by Loancare llc” or “Lakeview and Loancare loanservicing llc”
There were more names over the history of me steal dealing with these assholes. Like litterally they r tryinv harder than ever to take my paid off home from me. Probably because it has well over a half a milliondollars in equity now in it plus a 1 of a kind power off grid inductor, that i am the sole proprietary owner of the technology in it and in 7 other free or self Propetuating motors that r carbon free emissions and r actually able to clean the carbon out of the air with zero vizuaul movements needed at all…etc
Point is I am NOT DUMB AND YET THESE ASS HOLES CONTINUE TO TREAT ME AND EVERY OTHER CUSTOMER’S THEY DO LOAN SERVICES FOR LIKE WE R JUST HERE TO MILK FIRCEVERY DIME. AND THEN IF 1 OR 10 OF US SUE THEY ONLY LOOSE ON AVERAGE %20 OF THE ILLEGALLY OBTAINED MONIES THEY TOOK FROM US ALL. SO WHY THE FFF WOULD THEY STOP DOING WHAT THEY R DOING.
THERE NEEDS TO BE REAL COURT ORDERED PUNISHMENTS TO THESE TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT DO THIS INTENTIONALLY TIME AND TIME AGAIN. LIKE JAIL TIME..
BECAUSE IF I LOOSE MY PROPERTY FROM THESE DOUCHES FRAUD. I CAN PROMISE U ANYONE WHOM BENEFITED IN ANY WAY FROM THEIR MISCONDUCT AND ILLEGALLY AND INMORAL BEHAVIORS AND ACTIONS. R GOING TO FACE JUSTICE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. BUT WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND HELP I’VE GIVEN THIS COUNTRY FROM MULTIPLE TOP SECRET PROJECTS TO THE INTIAL INVENTIONS OF MINE TO THE REDEACT STILL 36 MISSIONS I’VE DONE FOR THIS COUNTRIES THINK TANKS.
I’M SURE I WILL GET JUSTICE.
AND AS FAR AS THE DECISIONS THEY MAKE GOING FORWARD. LETS JUST HOPE THEY HAVE MORE COMMON SINCE THEN WHAT IM STILL SEEING AND HEARING FROM THEM.
