Yes, but unless the plaintiff has unlimited financial and legal resources it could prove to very difficult to prevail. Rather than a personal lawsuit against a lending institution the person might wish to consider the possibility of a class action suit and enlisting the assistance of the state and/or federal banking regulators.

Although as the situation gets worse many judges are not letting the lenders, brokers and others get away with business as usual. Many home owners are filing suit. According to http://www.mortgagelawyergroup.com the initial stage of the litigation generally involves a $5,000 fee an the monthly fees generally are $1,500.

Is a foreign bank able to sue a non-citizen who borrowed money while in the country but left the country without paying the loan back?

Yes, but, they will have trouble collecting on the judgment. Under the lending laws of most countries, a financial institution may always sue someone to collect monies owed if that borrower has elected not to pay, regardless of the reason for non-payment. Collection, however, will be difficult for the foreign bank if the individual is no longer resident in the country as the remedies available to that bank are not usually valid in other countries. The foreign bank will be more likely to sue and pursue collection if: * The amount of the loan is high, generally greater than $10,000 * The foreign bank has operations in multiple countries * The foreign bank finds a buyer for the debt in the country where the borrower is now resident (sells the debt to a bank that can collect) * If the borrower is a government employee

Can you sue banks?

Yes. If the bank does something that is not correct you can always sue the bank. For ex: if a bank charges you a fee for not maintaining your minimum balance even though you have sufficient balance in your account, you can raise a complaint with the bank to reverse the fee. If they fail to do so, you can sue them legally because what they did was wrong and you had enough balance in your account and they should have never charged you that fee.
