Independent Foreclosure Review Payments Exceed $2 Billion
WASHINGTON—More than 2.2 million people have cashed or deposited more than $2 billion in checks related to the Independent Foreclosure Review Payment Agreement through May 9, 2013.
To date, more than 3.9 million checks, totaling more than $3.4 billion, have been sent to eligible borrowers. The first wave of checks was sent April 12. A final wave of checks that required additional information from the borrower will be issued during the summer.
The payments result from agreements between the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, and 13 servicers to provide $3.6 billion in payments to borrowers whose homes were in any stage of the foreclosure process in 2009 or 2010 and whose mortgages were serviced by one of the following companies, their affiliates, or subsidiaries: Aurora, Bank of America, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, MetLife Bank, Morgan Stanley, PNC, Sovereign, SunTrust, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo.

Institutions processing checks are reminded that to help prevent fraud, checks require positive identification. Banks and other financial institutions should follow the instructions provided on the back of the check to validate authenticity.

Flunkies=Politicians for the most part,bought & paid for like little whores !
We got our $300.00 check. It should have been at least $3,750.00 because we were in bankruptcy. Now Rust Consulting said there were clerical errors, and supplemental checks would be mailed! These people must be really think we are stupid! Please fill out the complaint forms to OCC, and The Federal Trade Commission. If enough complaints are received, we might get a break. We are not counting on anything, because as usual, we are probably just being screwed over once again!
