Do you believe you suffered through a foreclsoure procedure in error? If so and this occurred in 2009 or 2010, you may have another opportunity for remeption. You can request an independent foreclsoure review ...
The Federal Reserve and the OCC announced that the deadline for submitting requests for review under the Independent Foreclosure Review has been extended. The new deadline, July 31, 2012, provides an additional three months for borrowers to request a review if they believe they suffered financial injury as a result of errors in foreclosure actions on their homes in 2009 or 2010 by one of the servicers covered by enforcement actions issued in April 2011.
The deadline extension provides more time to increase awareness of how eligible people may request a review through the Independent Foreclosure Review process and to encourage the broadest participation possible.
As part of enforcement actions issued in April 2011, the OCC, Federal Reserve, and the Office of Thrift Supervision required 14 large mortgage servicers to retain independent consultants to conduct a comprehensive review of foreclosure activity in 2009 and 2010 to identify borrowers who may have been financially injured due to errors, misrepresentations, or other deficiencies in the foreclosure process. If the review finds that financial injury occurred, the borrower may receive compensation or other remedy.
Borrowers are eligible for an Independent Foreclosure Review if they meet the following basic criteria:
The mortgage loan was serviced by one of the participating mortgage servicers; The mortgage loan was active in the foreclosure process between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010; and The property securing the mortgage loan was the borrower's primary residence.

There is no cost associated with being included in the review.
