Frilot, Partridge, Kohnke & Clements, L.C.

Court Finds Loan Servicer Exempt From State’s Debt Collection Practices Act
The firm’s commercial litigation practice area, along with co-counsel Preston Gates & Ellis, L.P., recently obtained a summary judgment in federal litigation involving the loan servicing practices of their client, Security National Servicing Corporation. The plaintiffs commenced suit in Washington state, alleging Security National was liable for over $5 million in damages because among other things, its introductory letter allegedly lacked certain information required by Washington’s counterpart to the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practice Act.

The district court disagreed, concluding as a preliminary matter that Security National was not a "debt collector" under the state’s law because it services loans only for affiliated entities and because its primary business is not debt collection, but rather, the servicing of loans.

Joseph N. Mole and Michael H. Pinkerton , who handled the lawsuit, are attorneys in the firm’s commercial litigation practice area. They are involved in lender liability and loan servicing litigation, as well as other types of commercial disputes, in Louisiana and around the country.
