Foreclosures

Today housing advocacy groups from 22 cities and 17 states are launching a campaign to force the presidential candidates to address the specific topic of foreclosures.

A report says U.S. taxpayers may end up on the losing side of the multi-billion-dollar housing settlement between banks and states. Former TARP Inspector General Neil Barofsky explains how we may be bailing out big banks again.

Banks will pay out billions over questionable foreclosure practices, like robo-signing. Will homeowners in hard-hit Nevada feel relief?

The settlement between states and banks is worth $250 billion, but few homeowners benefit.

The $25 billion foreclosure settlement is one of the biggest in history. But is it fair? Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan, one of the architects of the deal, responds.

Five big banks punished for illegal lending practices.

Forty states have signed on to a settlement deal with the nation's largest banks, while Delaware and other hold-out states try for a better deal.

National State Attorneys General Program Director James Tierney discusses why it has taken so long to reach a multi-state settlement with big banks over shady foreclosure practices during the housing crisis.

Big lenders are halting foreclosures for the next two weeks. But after the new year, foreclosures will speed up again.
