The complaint alleged that loan documents and disclosure statements for the Option Adjustable Rate Mortgage (“Option ARM”) failed to disclose and concealed important information. Among other things, the complaint alleged that:
According to the settlement terms, the amount paid to class members varies based on several factors, including the original loan balance and the length of time that the company owned the loan.
