Were you or a client in foreclosure at anytime in 2009 or 2010? You need to read this blog.

As a result of a consent decree between federal bank regulators including the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) , and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Home owners who had their homes foreclosed on from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010 will have the opportunity to have the foreclosure reviewed regardless of the fact that the home has been resold to another owner.

Calls by us to the toll free number 888-952-0105, netted mostly information also found on the website www.independentforeclosurereview.com and uncertainty as to how foreclosed homeowners are to apply for a review.

The person we spoke to stated that they ( The Independent Foreclosure Review Group) were selected to provide an independent review of the foreclosure process. Foreclosures found to have the following "problems" could be eligible for assistance although it is not clear what that assistance would take.
