First, in December 2024, Defendant Pennymac tried and failed to obtain a dismissal of the entire case on Demurrer and Motion to Strike, and most recently in November 2025 Defendant Pennymac tried and failed to obtain Judgment in its favor as to the entire case on Motion for Summary Judgment.

Even after nearly 2 years of litigation, which has included multiple depositions and multiple rounds of written discovery, our clients continue to seek justice for what is suspected to be unlawful and unfair treatment that they received as a military family from what they consider to be an unscrupulous financial institution.

The fact that Defendant Pennymac continues to fight and litigate without admitting fault begs the question of how much does this institution actually care for the sacrifices that our military families make?

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!!

Our office is currently suing Pennymac for multiple violations of California State Laws, including California Military and Veterans’ Code (C.M.V.C.) § 800.

As we have previously reported, C.M.V.C. § 800 provides certain financial protections to California reservist servicemembers who are being ordered into active duty.

Our lawsuit against Pennymac alleges that our client properly submitted his requests for deferment of principal and interest on his home mortgage mortgage loan.

However, Pennymac failed to provide a written response explaining why they believed our client’s request for deferment was insufficient and failed to explain why they believed our client was otherwise not entitled to the relief requested.

Pursuant to C.M.V.C. § 813, a loan servicer or creditor waives any ability to argue that the servicemember’s request for deferment is insufficient or that the member is not otherwise entitled to the relief requested if the loan servicer/creditor fails to provide a written response explaining these issues within 30 days of the request having been made.

In this case, our office tried for several months to take the deposition of the person who worked on our client’s account in responding to our client’s request for deferment.

However, Pennymac failed and refused for several months to cooperate with us in scheduling this deposition, which resulted in Pennymac being issued sanctions on February 14, 2025.
