Mortgage Foreclosure Settlement  The state attorneys general and the U.S. Department of Justice, on behalf of several federal agencies, negotiated a settlement totaling as much as $25 billion in relief to distressed borrowers and direct payments to states and the federal government.  The agreement settles state and federal investigations finding that the country’s five largest loan servicers routinely signed foreclosure related documents outside the presence of a notary public and without really knowing whether the facts they contained were correct.  Both of these practices violate the law.
