Regions Bank has filed a foreclosure notice against Granite City chiropractor and prolific class action plaintiff Mark J. Eavenson claiming it is owed $973,803.32.
According to the complaint filed May 14 in Madison County Circuit Court, Mark J. and Barbara A. Eavenson have been in default since Dec. 1, 2011, for the property located at 2009 Golf Course View Dr. in Edwardsville, above the 5th tee at Sunset Hills Country Club.

The Lakin firm filed most of his suits in 2003.
In each suit the difference between what Eavenson billed and what the insurer paid amounted to a few dollars.
The Lakin firm settled most of them.

Property taxes in 2009 were $18,021.
