Fremont Loan Agreement Statement 6/9/09

Attorney General Martha Coakleys Office entered into a settlement with Fremont Investment & Loan and its parent Fremont General Corporation ("Fremont") to resolve the Commonwealth's lawsuit against the California-based lender. Fremont has agreed to pay the Commonwealth $10 million in consumer relief, civil penalties and costs. Fremont has also agreed not to foreclose upon unfair loans without certain protections for borrowers or originate unfair loans in the Commonwealth. Those protections against foreclosure, which have been in place since the Superior Court issued a Preliminary Injunction in March 2008 are now permanent and also apply to the loan holders and servicers who acquired the Fremont loans since the injunction issued.
