    Does anyone know if it is too late to get on board the class action? I had a WAMU loan in the time frame of the law suit. Don’t recall getting any paper work to join the suit! Now it is allegedly settling?

    Did you find the address? We have misplaced our paperwork and am hoping it is not too late when/if we find it. Thanks so much. Along with the contact info, do you have the deadline date to file?

    This has nothing to do with a bank’s mortgage or loan customers… the class action involves funds placed in RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS.

    We received the paperwork regarding the classaction lawsuit and ours WAS regarding the mortgage/loan services. We have/had NO retirement accounts. I misplaced the paperwork and would like to figure out how to pursue this issue further or how to get the info I lost on the paperwork.

    We also were mailed the paperwork but I have misplaced it—am still searching for it. Ours is for mortgage/loan services so it must be for such. We have NEVER had any retirement accounts so believe the comments from Ikan Reed are incorrect.

    Not sure which settlement this article and you folks are referring to. I was a WAMU bond holder who lost big and that class action lawsuit is or was being handled by BLG law (212) 122-9666

    What I received in the mail yesterday 8-20-11 was class action for WAMU regular stock, preferred stock CUSIP939322848,floating notes due 8-24-2009, 7.25% sub notes due 11-1-2017, and 7.75% series R convertible stock CUSIP 939322814 .
    The paperwork, due Dec 8,2011 is for folks that are related to Garden city group (1-888-588-3788) who I think is driven by http://www.blbglaw.com

    I received the paperwork regarding the class action lawsuit AS WELL and mine WAS ALSO regarding the mortgage/loan services. I NEVER had ANY retirement accounts. I filled out the paperwork and mailed it in ASAP. I do remember it saying that it was DUE SOMETIME NEAR THE END OF AUGUST.

    You are correct, we also received the form regarding the class action suit for a mortgage/loan with WAMU. The deadline for submitting the form is today 8/31. The hearing is scheduled during the 2nd week of September per the paperwork we received. If a decision favorable to the plaintiff’s is found and after the lawyers get paid, the reimbursement for plaintiff’s in the suit, is 75-100% of the settlement fees you were charged that are in question.

    I completed the paperwork for the WAMU mortgage class action lawsuit by the due date 8/31/11. I have yet to receive any additional information. Has anyone heard anything about if and when plantiffs will start to receive a payout?

    Nelson, I haven’t heard anything either. I also submitted my paperwork before the 8/31/2011 deadline. If anyone could give us an idea how long it should take for us to receive some additional information that would be helpful! Thanks.

    I have a feeling that these checks will begin to come when we least expect it…

    Say your prayers and expect some kind of check exactly when we least expect it…but I think it is coming when we really get our minds and hearts off the matter. Don’t forget to pray first and then leave it to THE HIGHER POWER.

    I agree with MS.M….I also submitted the paper work in the appropriate time. Had not received any additional information. This is in GOD’S HANDS. I believe the check will be mailed out when you least expect it.

    Where the hell is my money, I filed my paper work. The government gets paid and my identity is sold by an employee. After stealing thousands in unemployment and charging me $4,000 in over draft fee’s. Not to talk about my home loans which the company and employee ripped me off. Do any of you really think the government will allow any of us to get our money back or just keep it, just like the first letter from the government. Your identity was stolen, but if you can not prove how, we will be keeping the money.

It’s now 4/12, does anyone know what is going on or has anyone else received their money?? Is there anyone or an attorney I can contact about it? Thanks

    Please advise. I had several mortgage (4) loans within a two-yr period with Wamu (on the same property). The mortgage loan is now being serviced by Chase Bank. After going through the mortgage remodification process, and meeting all of the qualifications, once paperwork was placed with the underwriter I was informed that the
    Remodification was being denied and that I would receive a written explanation within a few days. That was four months ago. I have yet to receive anything. At this time I am not even certain as to what company own my mortgage. According to my equifax credit report the loan account numbers do not match any of the loan numbers.
