Ocwen Loan Servicing and Cross Country Home Services have agreed to pay more than $26 million to resolve claims that they deceived customers with fake checks.

The companies allegedly sent small value checks to Ocwen, GMAC, and Homeward Residential mortgage customers. When the mortgage customers cashed the checks, they were reportedly enrolled into a home warranty or service plan from Cross Country Home Services without knowing it.

The recent settlement will benefit Ocwen, GMAC, and Homeward Residential customers who: were enrolled in a Cross Country warranty/home service plan between Aug. 6, 2009 and Dec. 31, 2013 after depositing one of the checks; made one or more payments on the plan; never made a claim under the plan; and never received a refund for the premiums they paid.

Several plaintiffs filed their class action lawsuit against Ocwen and Cross Country in August 2013. The fake check class action lawsuit was amended three times in November 2013, November 2014, and April 2017.

The plaintiffs argued that Ocwen and Cross Country intentionally deceived customers with their check scheme. They claimed that the companies owed their customers a refund for the premiums paid into the Cross Country services.

After years of litigation, a $26,457,227 settlement was reached to resolve these claims in July 2018. The settlement allows all of the involved parties to resolve the claims without continuing with risky and costly litigation.

The settlement will provide a refund worth up to 77 percent of the total amount paid for a home warranty or service plan from Cross Country. The exact amount will vary between claimants as it depends on the premium amount and the number of payments made for the service.

If settlement Class Members wish to recover payment from the settlement, they need to submit a valid Claim Form by June 18, 2019. The deadline for exclusion and objection is June 18, 2019. The final approval hearing is scheduled for July 26, 2019.

Who’s Eligible

Ocwen, GMAC, and Homeward Residential customers who: were enrolled in a Cross Country warranty/home service plan between Aug. 6, 2009 and Dec. 31, 2013 after depositing one of the checks; made one or more payments on the plan; never made a claim under the plan; and never received a refund for the premiums they paid.

Potential Award

A 77 percent refund of the total amount paid for the home warranty or service plan.

“The refund amount depends on how long you paid a premium of $14.95 to $54.95 per month.  For example, if you were enrolled in a plan and charged $14.95 per month on your Ocwen mortgage statement for 6 months, your Settlement Benefit could be up to $69.07.”
