Details on the Settlement with “Major Banks”

There is a great website at www.nationalmortgagesettlement.com where you can find the original complaint filed by the feds and most of the states against a bunch of large banks and servicing companies.  The website also has an executive summary of the settlements and copies of the actual settlement agreements.  The complaint sure pulls no punches accusing banks of doing all sorts of fraudulent things and accusing them of doing these things on purpose.  I hope there is not a whole new round of people who stop paying their mortgages so they can qualify for these new programs.
