Ranujoy and Debora Pandit, a couple who sued the company, said that they had paid thousands of dollars to the Saxon Department of Morgan Stanley and submitted all the materials needed for the HAMP plan. Saxon did not make any application for veto before receiving the payment, but began to "excuse" after receiving the money.

It is reported that the accusation against Morgan Stanley includes breach of contract terms, violation of equal credit opportunity law and violation of the New York commercial fraud act.

The lawsuit attorney Krishnan Chittur said that the current class action is expected to involve 100 thousand users of loans, and Chittur said, "people have been very disgusted with the pretext of banks. Those who are trapped in the bankruptcy of the economy are the main targets of the federal rescue plan, but they must be attacked again. This situation must end."

Earlier this year, federal courts in San Francisco and Philadelphia also received similar lawsuits. Saxon was accused of illegally earning millions of dollars in the HAMP plan, but failed to fulfill the responsibility of "letting the homeowners out of financial difficulties get out of trouble."

The municipal bond issuers alleged that Morgan Stanley had manipulated the tender for bonds.
