Supplemental payments coming from Rust Consulting for loans serviced by former subsidiaries of Goldman Sachs (Litton Loan Servicing LP) and Morgan Stanley (Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc.).

Supplemental payments coming from Rust Consulting for loans serviced by former subsidiaries of Goldman Sachs (Litton Loan Servicing LP) and Morgan Stanley (Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc.).

Borrowers whose mortgages were serviced by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley and who were already sent a check as part of the Independent Foreclosure Review payment agreement will be sent an additional payment by the end May. Federal Reserve regulators ordered the payments to correct an error by Rust Consulting.

Rust Consulting announced last week that approximately 96,000 borrowers whose loans were serviced by the former subsidiaries of Goldman Sachs (Litton Loan Servicing LP) and Morgan Stanley (Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc.) were sent checks for less than the payment amount that the Federal Reserve directed Rust to pay. The new checks will make up the difference between what was in the original check sent by Rust and what should have been paid. Borrowers should cash both the original checks and the supplemental checks.

Borrowers with questions regarding payments should contact the Paying Agent—Rust Consulting, Inc. at 1-888-952-9105, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 10 p.m. or Saturday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Wells Fargo Employee Accused Of Stealing $10K From 90-Year-Old Customer

Wells Fargo Employee Accused Of Stealing $10K From 90-Year-Old Customer

A personal banker at a Wells Fargo branch in Atlanta has been arrested and charged with felony theft for allegedly tricking an elderly customer into giving him more than $10,000. And she may not be the only victim.

 

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the Wells employee befriended the 90-year-old customer. He later called her and asked her to come into the branch to sign a transfer document that would move $10,600 from her checking account into savings.

Problem is, the form she signed wasn’t a transfer document, but a withdrawal slip.

Police say the former Wells worker then used the slip to take the cash out of the woman’s account and deposit it into his own.
