TREVINO vs MERSCORP | MERS Settles, Avoiding Class Action Foreclosure Fee Lawsuit

TREVINO vs MERSCORP | MERS Settles, Avoiding Class Action Foreclosure Fee Lawsuit


An 11th-hour settlement is expected to stave off potential class action status in a lawsuit that claims foreclosed borrowers were overcharged for attorneys’ fees that the Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. did not actually incur.

National Mortgage News-

The plaintiffs, Jose and Lorry Trevino, filed a motion seeking class action status and an amended complaint on Jan. 12. The defendants had until Jan. 17 to respond, but received a two-week extension, “so that the parties can memorialize their settlement,” according to court documents filed Jan. 13.

The parties have agreed to terms, but the settlement is pending final paperwork. The case hasn’t been dismissed and likely won’t until the settlement is finalized.

The suit, originally filed in 2007, names Merscorp and a number of its shareholders, including Citigroup, Countrywide, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, GMAC Residential Funding, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Washington Mutual and Wells Fargo.

Goldman Sachs, Litton, Ocwen reach deal on robosigning with NY regulator


WSJ–

Under the agreement with the state’s financial-services superintendent, Benjamin M. Lawsky, the three firms—Goldman, its Litton Loan Servicing business and Ocwen Financial Corp.—promised to end so-called robo-signing, in which bank employees signed foreclosure documents without reviewing case files as required by law.

BLOOMBERG: Ally Settles Fannie Buyback Demands for $462 Million

BLOOMBERG: Ally Settles Fannie Buyback Demands for $462 Million


By Hugh Son – Dec 27, 2010 5:48 PM ET

Ally Financial Inc., the auto and home lender majority owned by the U.S. government, said its mortgage unit reached a $462 million settlement to resolve repurchase claims by Fannie Mae on $292 billion in home loans.

Ally, formerly known as GMAC Inc., said the settlement covers loans serviced by its GMAC Mortgage unit for Fannie Mae before June 30 and mortgage-backed securities it sold to Fannie Mae. The accord was reached on behalf of Ally’s Residential Capital unit and some of its subsidiaries, the Detroit-based company said today in a statement.

Chief Executive Officer Michael Carpenter, preparing Ally for a share sale that would allow the government to withdraw support, is trying to resolve ResCap’s losses linked to representations and warranties on home loans. Mortgage buyers invoke the clauses to force lenders to buy back faulty loans.
