National Mortgage News-
Banks are still haunted by bad underwriting of mortgage loans from the last housing boom, and the nightmare could endure for months to come.
M&T Bank’s disclosure Thursday that it is in settlement talks with the Justice Department for not complying with underwriting guidelines on Federal Housing Administration loans has renewed fears that more lenders will be the targets of probes and possible litigation.
