“A wrongful foreclosure is a common law tort claim. It is an equitable action to set aside a foreclosure sale, or an action for damages resulting from the sale, on the basis that the foreclosure was improper.” (Sciarratta v. U.S. Bank Nat’l Assn. (2016) 247 Cal.App.4th 552, 561.)
“The basic elements of a tort cause of action for wrongful foreclosure track the elements of an equitable cause of action to set aside a foreclosure sale.” (Miles v. Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trust Co. (2015) 236 Cal.App.4th 394, 408.) “To maintain a wrongful foreclosure claim, a plaintiff must allege that
(Chavez v. Indymac Mortgage Services (2013) 219 Cal.App.4th 1052, 1062; Lona v. Citibank, N.A. (2011) 202 Cal.App.4th 89, 104.)
“[M]ere technical violations of the foreclosure process will not give rise to a tort claim; the foreclosure must have been entirely unauthorized on the facts of the case.” (Miles, supra, 236 Cal.App.4th at p. 409.)
Wrongful foreclosure claims are premature if there has been no foreclosure sale. (Vega v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (E.D.Cal. 2009) 654 F. Supp.2d 1104, 1113.) In situations where a foreclosure has already occurred, the California Supreme Court held that a borrower has standing to sue for wrongful foreclosure based on an allegedly void assignment of his or her mortgage. (Yvanova v. New Century Mortg. Corp. (2016) 62 Cal.4th 919.)
However, in cases where a foreclosure sale has not taken place, the court deliberately left open the question of whether a borrower may preemptively challenge a foreclosing party’s right to proceed with the foreclosure. (Yvanova, supra, 62 Cal.4th at p. 924.) The court thus left intact an appellate court decision in Gomes v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (2011) 192 Cal.App.4th 1149 (Gomes), which held that courts may not interject themselves into California’s comprehensive nonjudicial foreclosure scheme by entertaining “speculative suit[s]” regarding the lack of authority by the foreclosing entity to foreclose. (Gomes, supra, 192 Cal.App.4th at p. 1156.)
Generally, the statute of limitations for wrongful foreclosure is three years. (Code of Civ. Proc., Code § 338(a), (d).)
The declaratory relief claim is based upon a present controversy over the alleged loan reinstatement agreement and its future viability and the wrongful foreclosure allegations are moved to the second cause of action which now provides a basis for injunctive relief. Contrary to Defendants’ assertion, the leave to amend was not limited to a combined cause of action for wrongful foreclosure.

Plaintiff’s first four causes of action (wrongful foreclosure, quiet title, cancellation of trustee’s sale and cancellation of trustee’s deed) are specifically based on the wrongful foreclosure sale in 2007. The issues regarding wrongful foreclosure were adjudicated in RIC500916 through summary judgment in that case. The operative complaint in that case (SAC) even contained causes of action for quiet title and wrongful foreclosure based on the same 2007 foreclosure as alleged in this case.

Plaintiffs argue that unless the unlawful detainer action is stayed, Defendant will likely prevail because wrongful foreclosure based on a promise to postpone the foreclosure sale is not an allowed defense thereto and Plaintiffs will be evicted. If Plaintiffs then prevailed in the wrongful foreclosure lawsuit, "it will be an empty victory since they will have been permanently evicted." Plaintiffs further argue that under Asuncion v.

Wrongful Foreclosure BANA argues that Plaintiff fails to state a claim for wrongful foreclosure for three reasons.

Standing goes to the existence of a cause of action.
