On February 4, 2025, our office had to file yet another lawsuit against NewRez, LLC (d/b/a Shellpoint Mortgage) for even more violations of deployed military deferment protections.
The lawsuit alleges that, in 2024, our client had attempted on two different occasions to obtain a mandatory deferment under Calif. Military and Veteran’s Code § 800, but NewRez ignored her requests both times. So, she eventually used the assistance of JAG to petition and obtain a court ordered deferment in December 2024.
The lawsuit also alleges that, even though this Court Order for deferment was served on NewRez in December 2024, they have persisted for months at falsely accusing our client to be in default and have continued to threaten to foreclose upon her home.
It now appears, unfortunately, that NewRez not only refuses to follow mandatory statutory protections for deployed military but now also refuses to comply with Court Orders for deferment!!
