Bankster Axes, Sues Now-Former Employee Alleging Improper Taking & Disseminating Of Confidential Foreclosure Information

Bloomberg reports:

  • Ally Financial Inc., among the five largest U.S. mortgage originators and servicers, sued a former employee who moonlighted as a foreclosure defense attorney over claims she stole confidential information.


  • Ally terminated the employee, Tanya L. Blackwell, last week for failing to disclose “a clear conflict” of her dual employment as a foreclosure specialist for Ally’s GMAC unit and as a practicing foreclosure defense attorney, according to court papers filed yesterday in federal court in Philadelphia.


  • Prior to her termination, Blackwell allegedly improperly obtained confidential company information including organization charts for Ally’s foreclosure operations, according to the complaint.

***

  • Ally, based in Detroit, is seeking a court order barring Blackwell’s use of the information, which she allegedly sent to third parties, according to court papers. The case is Ally Financial Inc. v. Blackwell, 11-cv-4694, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia).
