A team of lawyers from around the country have filed a class action lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its affiliates, alleging it used robo-signed affidavits to illegally obtain default judgments against credit cardholders.
The civil lawsuit filed March 11 in Miami federal court alleged violations of the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act and common law fraud. The suit against JPMorgan Chase & Co., Chase Bank USA N.A., Chase Bankcard LLC and Chase Bankcard Services Inc. appears to mirror others filed in recent years against lenders and mortgage services alleging robo-signing in foreclosures.
