Regions Bank Allegedly Charged Improper Post-Payment Interest on FHA Loans
We are investigating allegations that Regions Bank may have unlawfully charged post-payment interest when homeowners got rid of their Regions home mortgage.
As part of the transaction in selling or refinancing their home, mortgage borrowers typically use the new funds to pay off the remaining balance on their home mortgage.
When an FHA mortgage borrower paid off their loan early, before the end of the loan term, some FHA lenders charged those borrowers for interest even after they had fully paid off their loans. Our law firm sued Chase Bank alleging that the mortgage lender had improperly charged post-payment interest to FHA mortgage borrowers. On behalf of our clients, we helped secure a settlement with Chase for $11 million. Funds were distributed to Chase mortgage borrowers based on the amount of post-payment interest they were charged.
Bank of America and Wells Fargo have settled similar FHA mortgage class action lawsuits for tens of millions of dollars.
Regions Bank FHA Loan Settlement of Over $50 Million
In 2016, Regions Bank agreed to a $52.4 million settlement with the Department of Justice over allegations that Regions had issued FHA mortgages that did not comply with FHA rules.
The head of the Justice Department’s civil division said:
Mortgage lenders that participate in the FHA insurance program must follow the requirements intended to safeguard its integrity and to protect homeowners…
In addition, the Department of Justice said, Regions Bank failed to report “findings of fraud” or “other serious violations” to the Federal Housing Administration, as required by Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rules.
