The event participants learned about the help that may be available for those who were foreclosed on in 2009 or 2010 from the Independent Foreclosure Review (IFR).  The IFR came out of a legal agreement between federal bank regulators and 14 mortgage servicing companies over abusive mortgage servicing practices. The IFR is giving homeowners an opportunity to have an unbiased third party review of their foreclosure documents to determine if they might qualify for a cash payout of up to $125,000.  However, qualified applicants must submit the IFR review form by no later than December 31st, 2012 to be eligible.
