"Bankruptcy Court should never be used as a tool to unjustly oust New Yorkers from their homes," said Attorney General Letitia James. "Ditech's action is an illegal attempt to strip hundreds of homeowners of their legitimate claims and eviscerate New York's carefully-created foreclosure process. Housing is a right, and we will continue to use every legal tool at our disposal to stand up for homeowners and to protect their rights." Ditech currently has more than 880 active foreclosure actions pending across New York State. Homeowners organized the Consumer Creditors Committee to ensure that the courts do not permit the company to sweep their rights under the rug. Homeowners are demanding that their claims and defenses — which include significant money damages — not be extinguished in Bankruptcy Court.
