Mortgage False statements or representation Attempted to collect wrong amount California

East West bank asked me to be a guarantor for my husband 's business credit line because I have a house under my name and I did. When the loan was renewed for the following years, an East West Bank officer forged my signature as a guarantor. My husband 's business filed chapter - and East West Bank sued me to get my house. After my deposition with East west bank 's council, they realized the fact that I was not the one who signed the loan docs. They are willing to drop my name from the complaint but not willing to reimburse me for my attorney fees to prove that they were wrong, and on top of that they are also demanding I pay their attorney fees for this matter as well. Please look into this. Not only did they forge my signature but they also violated Equal Credit Opportunity Act. When contacted by CFPB, they sent a response with untrue statements. They never dismissed their attorney fees and lied about me never requesting reimbursement for my attorney fees to defend myself against their frivolous suit. Their response also talks about the situation that has nothing to do with me, but rather my husband. The home is under my name, not my husband 's. That is the reason they illegally tried to go after me in order to seize my home since my husband has no assets. Totally illegal. This bank needs to lose their banking license. I am sure this is not the first time they have done this to other innocent, unsuspecting consumers.
