EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF MULTISTATE/FEDERAL SETTLEMENT OF FORECLOSURE MISCONDUCT CLAIMS

If your primary residence was involved in a foreclosure process between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010, you may qualify for a free Independent Foreclosure Review.

The Independent Foreclosure Review will determine whether individual homeowners suffered financial injury and should receive compensation or other remedy because of errors or other problems during their home foreclosure process.

 

If you believe you are eligible to participate in the program, you may complete and submit a Request for Review Form. It is important that you complete the form to the best of your ability; all information you provide can be useful. You must have been a customer of one of the mortgage servicers listed below. Not sure who your servicer is? [1]

 

All Requests for Review Forms must be submitted online or postmarked no later than December 31, 2012.

 

I. Relief for Struggling Homeowners

II. Refinancing of Underwater Homes

III. Mortgage Servicing Reforms

IV. Monitoring and Enforcement

V. Payments to Foreclosure Victims

VI. Payments to the States

VII. Release of Claims

The settlement was not intended to address issues related to mortgage loan securitization or the

 

concerns of investors. The settlement does not release securitization claims, so private parties

 

and government officials are free to pursue those claims. Nor does the settlement provide any

 

immunity or release for criminal conduct.
