Recent Developments

SunTrust Mortgage has been named in three putative class actions similar to those that other financial institutions are facing which allege that the company acted improperly in connection with the practice of force placing homeowners’ insurance in certain instances. Generally, the plaintiffs in these actions allege that SunTrust Mortgage violated various duties by failing to properly negotiate pricing for force placed insurance and by receiving kickbacks or other improper benefits from the providers of such insurance. The first case, Timothy Smith v. SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. et al., is pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. SunTrust Mortgage filed a motion to dismiss this case and this motion was granted in part and denied in part. The second case, Carina Hamilton v. SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. et al., is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. SunTrust Mortgage filed a motion to dismiss in this case that remains pending. The third case, Yaghoub Mahdavieh et al. v. SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. et al., is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. SunTrust Mortgage has filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to transfer in this case that remain pending.
