Chicago, IL (Wednesday December 5, 2012) —

Independent Foreclosure Review

Your Mortgage Company May Owe You Money!

Did you lose your home to between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010? Former

homeowners may be entitled to restitution from their mortgage servicing company, if

they apply for relief by December 31, 2012.

What is a mortgage servicing company? The term refers to the folks who collected the

mortgage payment, distributed escrow payments and sent out delinquency notices.

For most Americans with single family home loans, the servicer was Bank of America,

CitiBank, Wells Fargo or Chase.

The Office of Comptroller of the Currency is currently requiring an independent review

of those mortgages that went under during 2009 and 2010. This independent review is

one of the very few programs that can pay restitution to borrowers who lost their

homes.

If you were foreclosed in 2009 or 2010, watch your mail for notice of your eligibility for

IFR, or Independent Foreclosure Review. If you doubt that the paper work was properly

executed, or if you doubt that your servicer had the documents in the file to prove your

debt, or if your foreclosure paperwork was robo-signed, you should contact your former

mortgage servicing company and request IFR. The list of participating mortgage-

servicing companies includes:

• America’s Servicing Co. 
• Aurora Loan Services 
• BAC Home Loans Servicing

• Bank of America 
• Beneficial 
• Chase 
• Citibank
• CitiFinancial
• CitiMortgage

• Countrywide 
• EMC 
• EverBank/EverHome Mortgage Company
• Financial

Freedom
• GMAC Mortgage
• HFC 
• HSBC 
• IndyMac Mortgage Services
• MetLife

Bank
• National City Mortgage
• PNC Mortgage 
• Sovereign Bank
• SunTrust

Mortgage
• U.S. Bank
• Wachovia Mortgage
• Washington Mutual (WaMu)
• Wells

Fargo Bank, N.A. 
• Wilshire Credit Corporation

IFR is not a comprehensive remedy for mortgage foreclosure, but it is another piece

of an intricate, complex puzzle of institutional responses that offers homeowners

some relief. The Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Citizenship Education Fund and our 1000

churches initiative are hosting events with clergy and the faith based community in 30

markets across the country to spread the word. To learn more about IFR, visit

or call the Rainbow PUSH Coalition at 773-373-3366. Again, homeowners must apply

for relief by December 31, 2012.
