ORLANDO — An allegedly forged mortgage note prompted a lawsuit by an Ocoee couple.
Rogelio and Rachel Santos filed a complaint on Aug. 20 in the Orange County Circuit Court against Citimortgage Inc., Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Watson Mortgage Corporation.
According to the complaint, the defendants attempted to foreclose on the Santos' property. But the plaintiffs claim the mortgage note held by Citimortgage is not an original. The plaintiffs allege the defendants wrongfully attempted to collect on the invalid debt.
The plaintiffs request a trial by jury and seek judgment for actual and punitive damages. They are represented by Andrea M. Roebuck of Best Defense Law PA in Lake Mary.
