Anita J. Vedder v. North American Mortgage Co., et al.

This case involves a homeowner who defaulted on her home mortgage. After the holder of the note commenced foreclosure proceedings, the homeowner filed suit in the Circuit Court for Rutherford County asserting numerous claims against the original mortgagee, the subsequent purchasers of the note, and an executive employed by one of the subsequent purchasers. The trial court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the homeowner's complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The homeowner appealed and, while the appeal was pending, requested the trial court to vacate its earlier decision for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The trial court denied the homeowner's motion. We now affirm both of the trial court's decisions.
