KING COUNTY, Wash. -- An attorney has filed six lawsuits against the developer of a luxury condominium as well as JP Morgan Chase Bank for allegedly defrauding non-English speaking immigrants through predatory lending.

Bellevue Towers boasts luxury living at its finest. The units feature a state-of-the-art kitchen and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Attorney Jim Robinson said his clients, Daniel Kasimov and his wife, thought they'd sealed the deal on a $1.5 million unit in the complex.

But Kasimov only makes minimum wage, earning $20,000 per year.

"He was told, 'Don't worry about that. The bank would never loan you money that you couldn't afford to pay back,'" Robinson said.

Robinson represents six clients, all immigrants and many who can't speak English. He claims they've all fallen victim to predatory lending.

"Yes, they've been defrauded by lenders (through) predatory lending. And condo developers in general are desperate to pay off their construction loans, and they're looking to earnest money to do it with," he said.

Robinson said his clients lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in earnest money, which is now sitting in escrow. Kasimov borrowed $75,000 to put down as earnest money.

Robinson alleges JP Morgan Chase overstated Kasimov's annual income in order to pre-approve him for the loan. The pre-approval, however, never led to an actual loan and Kasimov lost his earnest money, Robinson said.

"I can't understand why they haven't given him the money back," he said. "It's come to this. I mean, this would not have been a lawsuit if they would've just given him the money back."

Neither the developer nor JP Morgan Chase could be reached for comment.
