We knew that, eventually, COVID would have to be acknowledged by the Mortgage Field Services Industry. And apparently last week, the State of Illinois made it abundantly clear that an infected inspector needed to include all of the homeowners that they made contact with. It was the first documented case within the Industry that I have been made aware of. And I am positive it was neither the first nor the last we will discuss. What is for sure, though, is that now we are potentially involved in superspreader activities which were addressed by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by and through a no contact Moratorium through 31 March 2021 and specifically that National Association of Mortgage Field Services (NAMFS) members made possible. Going forward, it will be interesting to see how many homeowners decide to sue NAMFS members for disregarding both the HUD Moratorium and the health and safety of homeowners.

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.
