Summary of the class action

APPLICATION FOR AUTHORIZATION TO BRING A CLASS ACTION AND TO BE NAMED CLASS REPRESENTATIVE
(Articles 571 and ss C.p.c.)

Group members are individuals or companies who received a notice and a default notice from one of the Caisses populaires Desjardins du Québec due to delayed mortgage payments.

The fault of the Caisses and the defendant Groupe services partagés Desjardins inc.:

The borrower was late in paying their mortgage.
Following this delay, all Caisses Populaires in Quebec instructed the defendant, Groupe Services Partagés Desjardins, to send a default notice called a “Prior notice”.
In this notice, the defendant demanded payment of the overdue monthly payments.
Additionally, the defendant demanded payment of its attorneys’ fees and expenses.
However, these fees and expenses claimed are illegal and prohibited by law.
These fees can range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.
Despite the clarity of the law prohibiting these fees in the Civil Code of Quebec, the defendant continues to charge them to customers on behalf of the Caisses Populaires.

The claim

Reimburse the illegally charged fees (this amount varies from consumer to consumer).
Order the defendant to pay $500 to each member for moral damages.
