PHH Mortgage Corporation has agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the mortgage servicer sent misleading default notices to borrowers. The lawsuit claims these notices violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and state consumer protection laws.
The case, Williams, et al. v. PHH Mortgage Corporation, et al. (Case No. 3:25-cv-00144-KDB-UMJ), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. If you received a notice of default from PHH Mortgage on your residential mortgage loan, you may be eligible for automatic compensation.
