Description
1 Plaintiffs Nicklos E. and Darrell Jaramillo filed suit against Bank of America Housing Services (Bank), which was the lien holder on a mobile home owned by Plaintiffs, when the home was damaged by water leaking from defective pipes. Plaintiffs claimed that they were entitled to revoke acceptance of the mobile home and that the Bank had engaged in unfair trade practices when it refused to acknowledge Plaintiffs right to seek redress against it. The trial court granted Plaintiffs revocation of the sales contract; damages in the amount of $29,636 for payments made pursuant to the contract and $6,765 compensatory damages for the cost of obtaining alternative housing; $25,000 for emotional distress resulting from the Banks breach of the duty of contractual good faith; and $5,000 to Nicklos for defamation resulting when the Bank made false reports to credit reporting agencies. The trial court also awarded attorney fees to Plaintiffs based on their Unfair Practices Act claim. The trial court allowed the Bank to offset those amounts by $15,317, which was the amount paid by Plaintiffs insurance company for the water damage, plus accrued interest. The Bank appeals. Plaintiffs cross-appeal the award of attorney fees and the offset of insurance proceeds against the judgment. We affirm.
