The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s dismissal of Mark and Natasha Wesker’s claims against Bank of America. The Weskers alleged the bank mishandled their application for a modification of their home equity line of credit, leading to financial harm and damage to their credit score.
The Weskers asserted the following claims against Bank of America:
Leigh Raynor filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy on April 11, 2019, and, after receiving a general discharge of debts on July 30, 2024, commenced a Student Loan Adversary Proceeding to discharge her student loan debts, totaling $80,408.84 as an "undue hardship" under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(8). The student loans were incurred between 1999 and 2002 for undergraduate and graduate education, but Raynor did not enter the professional field associated with her graduate degree.
