CFPB, State AGs Reach Settlement with SunTrust
Updated: December 8, 2014 (Consent Judgment documents added)
• $500 Million in relief for borrowers
• $40 Million in cash to foreclosed homeowners
• Modeled on National Mortgage Settlement

The Federal government together with state attorneys general in 49 states and the District of Columbia reached a settlement in 2014 requiring SunTrust Mortgage, Inc., to provide $500 million in various forms of relief to certain borrowers. The United States District Court for the District of Columbia entered the Consent Order on September 30, 2014. The consent order addresses SunTrust's alleged misconduct regarding its mortgage servicing and foreclosure practices. SunTrust must also create a 40 million dollar fund for the approximately 45,000 SunTrust borrowers who were foreclosed upon between January1, 2008 and December 31, 2013. In addition, SunTrust must adhere to significant new homeowner protections. The consent order requires that SunTrust follow the servicing standards set up by the 2012 National Mortgage Settlement (NMS) with the five largest banks. SunTrust's compliance with this settlement will be monitored by the same professional monitoring team currently in charge of enforcing the NMS, led by former North Carolina Banking Commissioner Joe Smith.
