CHARLESTON — An elderly widow is suing a loan holder, alleging breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation.

Lilian Goodson of Cannelton, 75, who suffers from psychiatric impairments, filed a complaint March 12 in Kanawha Circuit Court against Bayview Loan Servicing LLC, alleging violation of the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act.

According to the complaint, on Feb. 14, Bayview conducted a foreclosure sale on her home at 85 Finale Lane, Cannelton.

As a result, Goodson said she lost her childhood home, causing her to suffer worry, stress and other damages. 

The plaintiff alleges Bayview Loan Servicing breached its duty to exercise its discretion in good faith by rejecting Goodson's payment and by misrepresenting that she would have the opportunity to cure her arrearage and the amount needed to reinstate her loan.

Goodson seeks trial by jury, order to set aside the trustee deed filed with the clerk of the Kanawha County Commission and all other appropriate and equitable relief. She is represented by attorney Bren J. Pomponio of Mountain State Justice Inc. in Charleston.

Kanawha Circuit Court case number 18-C-243
