ALEXANDER, J.
[¶ 1] Dorothy and Wayne Knope appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court (York County, O’Neil, J.), following a non-jury trial. The judgment applied principles of unjust enrichment to determine that the Knopes are liable for certain charges beyond undisputed amounts of principal and interest owed pursuant to a promissory note owned by Green Tree Servicing, LLC. The note had been secured by a mortgage, but an assignment failed to convey to Green Tree all of the rights created by the mortgage.
