Please alert your community that the check arriving in the mail next month is for real. Mortgages servicers will be sending $3.6 billion in cash payments to borrowers who were in foreclosure in 2009 and 2010.
Payments will range from a few hundred dollars to $125,000. Consumers may also be eligible for mortgage modifications -- even if they've been turned down before. These funds replace the Independent Foreclosure Review process, and are the result of a settlement between regulators and 10 mortgage servicers. (Participating servicers are Aurora, Bank of America, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, MetLife Bank, PNC, Sovereign, SunTrust, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo.)
Borrowers will receive a letter from Rust Consulting in March explaining the process. Actual checks will be mailed in April.
Consumers should direct all questions to Independent Foreclosure Review at (888) 952-9105.

The Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) has partnered with the U.S. Department of Treasury to offer temporary mortgage payment assistance to households that are struggling with income loss due to unemployment or underemployment, but are working to regain sufficient income to keep their home. Borrowers may be currently experiencing an income loss or experienced one in the past that caused them to get behind on their mortgage payments.
Follow the step-by-step instructions on this site to apply. Once you begin your application, you will be assigned to a review agency who will assist you through the application process and help review your eligibility for the program.
The Illinois Hardest Hit Program offers two types of assistance:
Reinstatement assistance to pay mortgage arrearages, fees, and penalties in full, and
Monthly mortgage payment assistance to pay 100% of the mortgage payment owed to the servicer for up to 18 months while the household makes monthly contribution payments to the Illinois Housing Development Authority during their enrollment in the program. Maximum assistance is $25,000, depending on location.
