Find Out If You’re Eligible for an Independent Foreclosure Review

You may be eligible for an independent foreclose review if you believe you were financially harmed in the foreclosure process in 2009 or 2010, and your mortgage was serviced by one of the following companies or its subsidiaries:

  • GMAC Mortgage
  • HSBC Finance Corporation
  • SunTrust Mortgage, and 
  • EMC Mortgage Corporation.

If you meet the eligibility criteria, there is no cost for an independent foreclosure review and you could potentially receive compensation. The deadline to request a review is July 31, 2012.

The four mortgage servicers are required to make these independent reviews available as part of their compliance with enforcement actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board.
