Trott Law Foreclosure Letter Class Action Settlement

Trott Law PC has agreed to pay $7.5 million to end a class action lawsuit over foreclosure letters that allegedly violated the Fair Debt Collection Act and Michigan state laws.

The Trott foreclosure letter class action settlement, if approved by the court, will end allegations that the law firm sent misleading letters to consumers about their homes.

The class action alleged that the letters implied that an attorney had reviewed the mortgage holder’s accounts when no review had taken place. Additionally, the plaintiffs alleged that Trott Law used a misleading term, “Corporate Advances,” and indicated the mortgage could be reinstated.

Under the terms of the Trott foreclsoure letter class action settlement, those who received letters will receive a portion of the $7.5 million the firm has agreed to pay to end the litigation. Further, Trott Law has agreed to modify its foreclosure letters to remove and clarify allegedly misleading or illegal statements.

Class Members will be notified and provided a unique identification number in order to claim their portion, according to the motion for approval of the Trott foreclosure letter class action settlement.

Class Members have until Sept. 3, 2018 to object to or exclude themselves from the Trott foreclosure letter class action settlement.
