A U.S. District court considered a motion to dismiss claims of predatory lending and fraud against Quicken Loans, where a borrower alleged the company had ordered inflated appraisals and embroiled him in a loan in excess of the true value of his home.

The court granted Quicken Loan’s motion to dismiss allegations involving the unauthorized practice of law; fraud and conspiracy; and joint venture, conspiracy and agency, but denied the motion to dismiss as to predatory lending, saying the plaintiff had stated a plausible claim for unconscionability.
