On December 11, 2017, in a case entitled In re Iliceto, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s decision, which held that Nationstar Mortgage, LLC (“Nationstar” or the “Creditor”) received notice reasonably calculated under all the circumstances to apprise it that its status as a secured creditor was being challenged by Robert Iliceto (“Iliceto” or the “Debtor”) in his Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceeding, even though the Debtor did not notify Nationstar that he was objecting to the validity of its mortgage. Citing inaction on the part of the Creditor for more than a year and a half, the Court determined that Nationstar was not denied due process when the district court invalidated its mortgage lien.
