Banking Agencies Extend Deadline to Request Independent Foreclosure Review
February 17, 2012
On February 15, the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced that the deadline for borrowers to seek review of their mortgage foreclosures under the Independent Foreclosure Review program has been extended to July 31, 2012. Under the program, an eligible borrower can have his or her foreclosure reviewed by independent consultants to determine whether the borrower was financially injured due to errors, misrepresentations, or other deficiencies in the foreclosure process. An injured borrower may be eligible for compensation or other remedies.
