Ocwen Financial Corp., Case No. Case No. 14-cv-02597, (E.D. Cal.) (the Settlement). This Notice summarizes Class Members' rights and options.

The Nationwide Settlement Class and California Settlement Sub-Cass are collectively the Settlement Class. If approved, the Settlement will provide: A $60 reimbursement for each BPO fee that Settlement Class Members paid during the class period; A $70 reimbursement for each Hybrid fee that Settlement Class Members paid during the class period; Reversals and/or credits for any California Sub-Class Members who continue to have loans serviced by Ocwen, in the amount of $60 for each BPO and $70 for each Hybrid fee that was assessed to the Class Member during the class period but for which the Class Member has not paid; and Defendants' modification of disclosures to borrowers in valuation-related correspondence and reports, and in any applicable fee schedules, to identify, as applicable, the "reconciliation" service added by vendors to BPO and Hybrid products. Class Members can file a claim, request exclusion, object, or do nothing. File a Claim. To receive a payment from the Settlement, submit a valid claim electronically at website or postmarked by September 29, 2025. Announcement • Apr 04
