The $25B Settlement has become a standard for loan servicing. The Settlement requires:
- Servicers must ensure they have reviewed competent and reliable evidence.
- Affiants must confirm they have reviewed competent and reliable evidence.
- Servicers must send statements to defaulted borrowers showing the servicer’s right to foreclose and evidence that they have a “documented enforceable interest in the promissory note and mortgage under applicable state law.”
- In filing a Proof of Claim in a bankruptcy, a servicer must include copies of any assignments showing right to foreclose
- Ordering property reports are the most reliable way to handle these requirements
