4 million foreclosure cases up for review
Posted on November 11th, 2011
About 4 million homeowners who may have been improperly foreclosed upon in 2009 and 2010 are getting an opportunity to have their cases reviewed. Whether they will be reimbursed is up to the same lenders who are accused of moving too swiftly to seize their homes.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said Monday that mortgage services will begin sending out letters this month that ask borrowers if they want their case reviewed. The nation’s 14 largest mortgage servicers – including Citibank, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo – were ordered to offer to review cases after the government found that some rushed the foreclosure process without carefully reviewing documents. The orders require the lenders pay homeowners when a “borrower suffered financial injury.”
