Foreclosed Florida Homeowners May Get $2,000 Checks
The National Mortgage Settlement Administrator will mail Notice Letter and Claim Forms in late September through early October 2012 to those borrowers who lost their home due to foreclosure between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2011.
Qualifying loans were serviced by one of the five mortgage servicers that are parties to the settlement:
- Ally/GMAC
- Bank of America
- Citi
- JPMorgan Chase
- Wells Fargo
Some 167,398 Floridians who lost homes to foreclosure may each get about $2,000 as part of the nation’s largest consumer financial protection settlement, according to a Sun Sentinel article titled “Thousands of South Floridians to get about $2K after losing homes to foreclosure.”
Qualifying homeowners who receive a “notice letter” must file a claim form online or by mail no later than January 18, 2013. You must have your personalized claimant ID number, which is located on the Notice Letter and Claim Form you will receive by mail, to submit your Claim Form online. Instructions are available online at the
National Mortgage Settlement Claim Filing Site.
