About PHH Mortgage Corp. Class Actions in Michigan

PHH Mortgage Corp. has served Michigan homeowners for decades, particularly gaining prominence after acquiring mortgage servicing portfolios from major banks. Michigan's Regulation of Collection Practices Act provides stronger consumer protections than many states, requiring debt collectors and mortgage servicers to provide clear, accurate information about debts and default procedures. The state's Consumer Protection Act also prohibits unfair and deceptive practices in mortgage servicing. PHH maintains a significant presence in Michigan through its loan servicing operations, handling mortgages for numerous homeowners across Detroit, Grand Rapids, and suburban communities. Michigan residents filing class action claims benefit from the state's six-year statute of limitations for breach of contract claims and three-year limit for consumer protection violations. The Michigan Attorney General's office actively monitors mortgage servicing practices and has participated in multistate investigations. Michigan courts generally favor class certification when mortgage servicers engage in systematic practices affecting large numbers of homeowners, making collective action an effective remedy for widespread servicing violations.
