G. vs. Los Alamitos Unified School District

Additionally, regardless, the CCRAA assumes violations can be measured in monetary damages. (See, e.g., Civ. Code, § 1785.31.)

While the CCRAA allows for injunctive relief (See Civ. Code, § 1785.31, subd. (b)), it is not clear what injunctive relief could be issued, at this time: Plaintiffs request the Court issue an order enjoining Defendant from “[r]etaining or disseminating any derogatory credit information relating to Plaintiffs....” (Motion: 11:11-13 [ROA No. 142].) However, this language is overbroad as it would prevent Defendant from reporting future delinquencies.

Moreover, as indicated above, it is not clear that Plaintiffs are fully current on the loan. At best, Plaintiffs declare that payments were made in October through December of 2025.

Based on the above, Plaintiffs’ request for an order enjoining Defendant from “[i]nitiating, recording, or pursuing any foreclosure activity,” is likewise overbroad. (Motion: 11:11-13 [ROA No. 142].) Further, there has been no showing that a foreclosure has commenced.

In addition to seeking a preliminary injunction, Plaintiffs request multiple forms of additional relief, including: (1) An order cancelling or removing the Deed of Trusts, pursuant to Civil Code sections 3412 and 3413, as to Plaintiff Cynthia L. Ticey. (Motion: 3:18-22 [ROA No. 142]); (2) Financial Elder Abuse remedies under Welfare & Institutions Code sections 15610.30 and 15657.5 (Motion: 6:26-27 [ROA No. 142]); and (3) Punitive damages. (Motion: 6:28 [ROA No. 142]; See also “Prayer for Relief” at 10:22-12:3 [ROA No. 142].)

Plaintiffs have cited no authority that allows for any such relief, provisionally.

The Case Management Conference is continued to December 03, 2026, at 09:00 am in Department C10.
