No person may act or attempt in a loan transaction to prevent the filing or receiving of payment on a legitimate insurance claim. In an action in which it is found that a person has violated this section, the court shall award to the borrower the actual damages and consequential damages, if any, and to his attorneys their reasonable fees and costs. In determining attorney's fees and costs, the amount of recovery on behalf of the consumer is not controlling.
