National Mortgage Settlement Conference - In the News‌

A massive civil law enforcement investigation and initiative by state attorneys general, state banking regulators, and nearly a dozen federal agencies has resulted in a landmark $25 billion settlement with the nation's five largest mortgage servicers. This important settlement—the largest joint state-federal settlement in history—has played a significant role in addressing the nation's mortgage crisis by providing substantial relief to homeowners. The key figures in this historic settlement will discuss the housing market collapse, the intricate path to the National Mortgage Settlement, and the independent monitor that has been established to oversee the terms of the agreement and ensure its success.
