BREAKING NEWS

On Monday, New Residential Investments (NRZ) announced in their earnings call that they were going to buy $117 Billion of Ocwen’s unpaid principal balance (UPB). In essence, this will be a death blow to Altisource and Patricia E McTaggart. Foreclosurepedia is predicting that Nationstar will pick up the servicing thereof. Seeking Alpha termed it as follows,

We noted that in order to solve its own problems, OCN could effectively “throw ASPS under the bus” by negotiating new terms with NRZ in which NRZ would take away the economic lifeblood of ASPS. This, in fact, transpired on Monday when on its Q1 2017 earnings call NRZ announced a major deal under negotiation with OCN.

Before You Go ...

Foreclosurepedia exists because readers, workers, and advocates understand that protecting Labor in the mortgage field services industry requires independence, persistence, and resources. We do not answer to servicers, hedge funds, or corporate trade groups; our accountability is to the Field Service Technicians, Inspectors and administrative personnel whose livelihoods are too often treated as expendable. Donations are what allow us to investigate quietly buried contract changes, expose abusive labor practices, and publish work that would otherwise never see the light of day. Every contribution helps keep our reporting free from industry pressure and focused squarely on defending labor standards, fair pay, and basic dignity in the foreclosure ecosystem. If you believe this work matters, your support is not symbolic—it is the reason Foreclosurepedia can continue to stand between Labor and a system that routinely exploits it.
