Between its various court battles with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and whichever state is suing it today, Ocwen must have a lot of money for lawyers. And now another court battle – this one with a mortgage insurer – is heating up.
In December, the embattled mortgage servicer sued Radian Guaranty, a mortgage insurer, alleging breach of contract and bad faith. Ocwen accuses Radian of failing to pay on more than 9,000 defaulted mortgages, according to a HousingWire report. The suit is pending in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Radian, however, doesn’t plan to roll over for Ocwen. In its quarterly 10-Q filing, the mortgage insurer said that it maintains “that the claims in the Filings are without merit and (it) plans to defend these claims vigorously.”
Radian has filed a motion to dismiss Ocwen’s complaint, HousingWire reported.
“The complaint disputes the validity of claims dating back to 2007 and 2008,” a company spokesperson told HousingWire. “We believe Ocwen’s claims are baseless, and we’re confident in our robust and fair claims management process. We will continue to defend against these claims vigorously.”
