About PHH Mortgage Corp. Class Actions in South Dakota

PHH Mortgage Corp. has faced significant legal challenges regarding its mortgage servicing practices, resulting in a notable $1.5 million class action settlement for misleading default notices that affected borrowers nationwide, including South Dakota residents. South Dakota operates under specific mortgage servicing regulations outlined in SDCL Chapter 54-4, which requires mortgage servicers to provide accurate and timely notices to borrowers facing default. The state's Department of Labor and Regulation oversees mortgage company licensing and compliance. PHH Mortgage Corp. maintained servicing operations that handled South Dakota mortgages, particularly for loans originated through government-sponsored enterprises and VA loans common in the state.

The state also follows federal mortgage servicing rules under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, providing additional protections. South Dakota's relatively small population means fewer class members, potentially resulting in larger individual settlement amounts when claims are approved.
