The Fed’s Foreclosure-Relief Fail
One woman’s nightmarish odyssey through the system that was supposed to help get her back on her feet.
Like far too many Americans, Debbie Marler of South Point, Ohio has her own foreclosure horror story. It involves one house, seven fraudulent mortgage assignments, three foreclosures, as many states, and five years. It ruined her career prospects, threatened her retirement security, and turned her life into what she calls “a living nightmare.”
This week, Debbie walked to her mailbox and found what the federal government considers appropriate compensation for this odyssey of suffering at the hands of JPMorgan Chase, the nation’s largest bank.
A check for $800.
“I was speechless, just a complete shock,” Debbie said. “That doesn’t even pay for the damn U-Haul from when I moved out of the house in the first place.”
The money is a product of the Independent Foreclosure Reviews, part of an enforcement action against 14 banks for crimes committed in the foreclosure process. The IFRs, shepherded by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Reserve, were supposed to give anyone in foreclosure during 2009 or 2010—a total of 4.2 million borrowers—the chance to have their case investigated by an independent reviewer, and to be compensated if the review revealed harm. But the OCC and the Fed found the program so flawed and mismanaged that they cancelled the reviews early this year and instead ordered the banks to pay $3.6 billion to all 4.2 million borrowers, whether they were harmed or not. The banks, not the regulators, determined how much cash each borrower would ultimately receive; the overwhelming majority received less than $1,000. Despite the paltry payouts, the meager data we have on the reviews shows that as many as 30 percent of all borrowers covered potentially suffered serious harm that led to the improper loss of their home. That matches up with Debbie’s story.
Rest here…

Liars and thieves…they all need to be canned and people should be made whole again…shame on america for stealing in some cases…retirement security, equity,income , it is outrageous whenyou ccan’t count on your own president to do the right thing. I feel very sorry that this genertin will have to raise their children and help their parents…instead of the other way around. What a burden for this poor gneration. What scam will they think of next so that our grandchildren pay the Reaper…
What is the next step? Civil suits to get the rest ? I need to get 80K of equity they stole. I was moving out anyway and the sold it secretly in an auction. Lost 70-90K.
This happened to me as well. I have SIX children and was forced out of my home on Christmas eve. I BEGGED for a modification, repeatedly, and have a pile of documented notes showing the multiple conversations. I was denied a modification. I should have had thousands as well. We received… $400. I didn’t even know about the independent foreclosure review until March! Why was I not notified of my options until then when it was too late? There is no way to appeal. When you call to question, they have no answers. If you wish to fight the payout, you must hire your own attorney. David fighting Goliath. They hurt Americans AGAIN who were already vulnerable.
That is unreal those bastards
How dare they do that to her
What a perfect example of how America does their own
It’s a shame
Blah blah blah.The ONLY way to address the federal reserve banks corrupt practices along with the smaller cohorts like Wells Fargo, B of A, etc. is to become Sovereign, the Secured Party Creditor and in charge of all things in your name, and the $1,000,000 asset account created in the US Treasury.Yes I know most will tell you it is nonsense.Tell me how I have lived in my house for 6 years for free, got B of A to dismiss $50,000 in “debt.” and am suing everybody.
