Hello, I reviewed your project and it aligns well with my experience in mortgage-dispute documentation, Small Claims Court support, and lender-fee challenge matters involving real estate financing and Power of Sale proceedings. I have worked on dispute analysis, claim drafting, evidence organization, fee-review matters, and structured legal documentation requiring clear factual presentation and strong supporting arguments. I can assist with: • reviewing the lender’s charged fees and supporting documents, • identifying potentially excessive or unauthorized charges, • preparing Small Claims Court documentation and supporting chronology, • organizing evidence related to NSF fees, penalties, and Power of Sale costs, • and supporting court preparation and settlement-position analysis. My focus is on building a clear, well-documented claim demonstrating why the disputed fees may have been unreasonable, excessive, improperly applied, or unsupported under the circumstances. Could you please confirm: • whether the claim has already been filed in Toronto Small Claims Court, • the total amount being disputed, • and whether you already have the mortgage statements, payout statement, and lawyer correspondence available for review? Looking forward to assisting you.
