In January 2013, thirteen mortgage servicing companies subject to enforcement actions for deficient practices in mortgage loan servicing and foreclosure processing reached an agreement in principle with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to provide more than $9.3 billion in cash payments and other assistance to help borrowers. The sum includes $3.6 billion in direct cash payments to borrowers covered by the agreement and $5.7 billion in other foreclosure prevention assistance, such as loan modifications and forgiveness of deficiency judgments.
For the participating servicers, fulfillment of the agreement satisfies the foreclosure review requirements of enforcement actions issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Office of Thrift Supervision in April and September 2011 and April 2012.
As of February 28, 2013, the above agreement has been memorialized by amendments to the consent orders for each of the participating servicers. The amendments to the consent orders are publicly available on the websites of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
The OCC and the Federal Reserve accepted this agreement because it provides the greatest benefit to consumers subject to unsafe and unsound mortgage servicing and foreclosure practices during the relevant period in a more timely manner than would have occurred under the Independent Foreclosure Review process.

Borrowers Covered Under the Payment Agreement
Borrowers whose mortgage loan was serviced by one of the thirteen participating servicers and who were involved in a foreclosure action on their primary residence between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2010, will receive compensation. Borrowers are included, whether or not they filed a request for review form. Borrowers are not required to take any additional steps to receive payments. Borrowers covered by the agreement are expected to receive compensation ranging from hundreds of dollars up to $125,000, depending on the type of possible servicer error.In my judgement, i feel strong capital economy in the Us market if there would be payment of all debt. Initially, although, there may be odd feelings and deep sense of inflation but on a general look there would be viability and every set up will make strong control of the world market. Let us wait to hear the out come of the FOMC meeting today.
