Heading: The trial court erred in awarding damages to Allen from EB.

Text: ¶ 28. Allen sought damages in the amount of $200,000 plus interest, attorney's fees and exemplary damages. The trial court awarded him a $50,000 judgment against EB to be applied to Hessler's judgment against Allen. The trial court erred with respect to all its findings of fault on the part of EB, and therefore an award of damages against EB was also improper. EB had every right to foreclose on its deed of trust which secured its defaulted note to Allen. EB attempted to refinance the note, but was unable to do so without possibly giving up its first lien position. EB did not act hastily in the foreclosure, but instead made reasonable deliberate efforts to accomplish the refinancing. Allen, as well as his attorney, were fully informed as to the imminent foreclosure. EB provided the proper statutory notice of the foreclosure sale. We reverse the award of damages against EB in the amount of $50,000 because the chancellor was in error.
