The NEWS has been broken: an investigative report by our partner, GoLocalWorcester, reveals that affidavits by the 5 megabanks that signed the settlement with the Attorneys General and Federal agencies are STILL robosigning even though in their legally binding reports to the Settlement Monitor they said they were signing ALL affidavits based on personal knowledge as of July 5, 2012.
Read the full story here on GoLocalWorcester.com! They also have posted a background article with a timeline of the events leading to the foreclosure crisis and the national settlement with these banks.
MAAPL will definitely be following this story closely, and will post updates as they are available.
