A massive civil law enforcement investigation and initiative by state attorneys general, state banking regulators, and nearly a dozen federal agencies has resulted in a landmark $25 billion settlement with the nation's five largest mortgage servicers. This important settlement—the largest joint state-federal settlement in history—has played a significant role in addressing the nation's mortgage crisis by providing substantial relief to homeowners.
