Case Summary

The plaintiffs, a church, its pastor and several of its members and trustees, and a housing non-profit filed suit against a mortgage lender on April 24, 1998, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), the Fair Housing Act (FHA), 42 U.S.C. 3601-3619, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), 18 U.S.C. 1981, 1982, unfair and deceptive lender practices, fraud, and breach of contract based on allegat…

On September 29, 2000, U.S. District Court Judge Joyce Hens Green dismissed the plaintiffs' RICO claim as barred by the statute of limitations. Hargraves v. Capital City Mortgage Corp., 140 F.Supp.2d 7 (D.D.C. 2000). Judge Green dismissed several of the plaintiffs from the suit on January 2, 2001, after finding that they lacked standing to sue, but held that the church pastor and several of the church trustees had standing. Hargraves v. Capital City Mortgage Corp., 147 F.Supp.2d 1 (D.D.C. 2001). The plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement with the Defendants in 2001, leading to the dismissal of claims. On December 7, 2001, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a motion seeking a temporary injunction freezing the assets of the Defendants to prevent the settlement agreement from being implemented, but District Court Judge Gladys Kessler denied the FTC's motion. FTC v. Capital City Mortg. Corp., 2002 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 2199 (D.D.C. Feb. 7, 2002).

The FTC portion of the case continued, and eventually settled on February 24, 2005. The FTC settlement contained extensive injunctive relief for the plaintiffs, and ordered Capital City to pay $750,000 to a fund.
