Outcome

First Union Mortgage Corp. prevailed on summary judgment. The court granted defendant's motion on all counts, finding plaintiff had no right to rescind under TILA/CTILA because she could not tender the principal balance and had signed the Notice of Right to Cancel. Plaintiff's claims were dismissed for failure to comply with local procedural rules and on the merits.

What This Ruling Means

**Employee Loses Contract Dispute with Mortgage Company** Moazed sued First Union Mortgage Corp. claiming the company broke their contract. The employee argued she had the right to cancel or undo certain agreements under federal and state lending laws (TILA and CTILA). She wanted to reverse financial arrangements she had made with her employer. The court ruled completely in favor of First Union Mortgage Corp. The judge found that Moazed could not cancel the agreements because she was unable to pay back the full amount of money involved and had already signed paperwork giving up her right to cancel. The court also dismissed her claims because she failed to follow proper court procedures when filing her case. **What This Means for Workers:** This case shows how important it is to carefully read and understand any financial agreements with your employer before signing them. Once you sign documents waiving certain rights, it becomes very difficult to undo those decisions later. Workers should also ensure they follow all proper legal procedures if they need to take their employer to court. Getting legal help early can prevent procedural mistakes that might cause your case to be thrown out entirely.
