United States Eleventh Circuit
Krupa v. Landsafe, Inc., 07-10061
In a case involving Countrywide under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, brought on behalf of class of borrowers who had paid a $35.00 credit report fee, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where: 1) a revised pricing policy for credit reports did not violate RESPA's anti-kickback provision; 2) all of the money Countrywide charged from the credit reports was paid over to the other defendant; and 3) the increase in price was related to services actually performed for the customers who locked in loans.
