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.

Received mine today $80
Received a check for 80.00.
Really you don’t know whether you are included in any settlement or not until you get a check. Some claim I filed and knew I was part of and didn’t get nothing. I have seen in comment section where people said they were not a part of the settlement and got check. You just got to be lucky on any claim if they choose to give you anything. That how I looked at it.
Martin Trout website states that checks will be mailed out on Jan. 3rd
Still haven’t received the check either

Can you tell us what the effective date is? My understanding is that the date was Sept 28. which would put 60 days at the end of November, if this is not correct could you please shed some clarity on that for us.
