Oaks v. Countrywide

After the wrong mortgage was paid off, causing a homeowner to accrue fees and charges, she sued the mortgage servicer and title company who helped with the refinance. They, in turn, sued the refinance loan originator for providing them with the wrong loan number, causing the suit. The question that came before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana is, “Can the servicer and title company sue the originator when the original suit is still in progress?”
