{Frankfort , Kentucky }…Kentucky
Attorney General Jack Conway has begun a public service campaign to alert
people before a January 18th deadline to apply for money from the $25 billion
national mortgage foreclosure settlement reached last spring. Conway
says Kentucky
received almost $59 million and has millions to distribute. Homeowners who
received mortgages from Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citi or
Ally/GMAC from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2011 are eligible for financial
assistance. As many as 5,000 Kentuckians are thought to be eligible for settlement
money because they were wrongfully foreclosed on, and tens of thousands more
might be eligible for write-downs. Conway says Kentucky homeowners who
were foreclosed on could get $2,000 without conceding legal rights to pursue
other remedies.
