“We are very pleased that the men andwomen of the armed forces who weresubjected to unlawful non-judicial fore-closures while they were serving ourcountry are now receiving compensa-tion,” said Acting Assistant AttorneyGeneral Vanita Gupta of the CivilRights Division. “Welook forward, in thecoming months, to fa-cilitating the compen-sation of additionalservice members whowere subjected to un-lawful judicial foreclo-sures or excess interestcharges. We appreciatethat JP Morgan Chase,Wells Fargo, Citi,GMAC Mortgage andBank of America havebeen working cooperatively with theJustice Department to compensate theservice members whose rights were vio-lated.”
Section 533 of the SCRA prohibits non-judicial foreclosures against servicemembers who are in military service orwithin the applicable post-service pe-riod, as long as they originated theirmortgages before their period of mili-tary service began. Even in states thatnormally allow mortgage foreclosures toproceed non-judicially, the SCRA pro-hibits servicers from doing so againstprotected service members during theirmilitary service and applicable post-military service coverage period.
Under the National Mortgage Settle-ment, for mortgages serviced by WellsFargo, Citi and GMAC Mortgage, theidentified service members will each re-ceive $125,000, plus any lost equity inthe property and interest on that eq-
uity. Eligible co-borrowers will also becompensated for their share of any lostequity in the property.
To ensure consistency with an earlierprivate settlement, JP Morgan Chasewill provide any identified service mem-ber either the property free and clear ofany debt or the cash equivalent of thefull value of the home at the time ofsale, and the opportunity to submit a
claim for compensa-tion for any additionalharm suffered, whichwill be determined bya special consultant,retired U.S. DistrictCourt Judge EdwardN. Cahn.
Payment amountshave been reduced forthose service membersor co-borrowers whohave previously re-ceived compensation
directly from the servicer or through aprior settlement, such as the independ-ent foreclosure review conducted by theOffice of the Comptroller of the Cur-rency and the Federal Reserve Board.The Bank of America payments to iden-tified service members with nonjudicialforeclosures were made under a 2011settlement with the Department of Jus-tice.
The NMS also provides compensationfor two categories of service members:
-- Those who were foreclosed upon pur-suant to a court order where themortgage servicer failed to file aproper affidavit with the court stat-ing whether or not the service mem-ber was in military service; and
-- Those service members who gaveproper notice to the servicer, butwere denied the full benefit of theSCRA’s six percent interest rate cap
on pre-service mortgages. The servicemembers entitled to compensationfor these alleged violations will beidentified later in 2015.

Cupid and Valentine’s DayEach year on February 14,
many people exchange cards,candy, gifts or flowers withtheir special “valentine.” The dayof romance we call Valentine’s Dayis named for a Christian martyr anddates back to the fifth cen-tury, but has origins inthe Roman holiday Lu-percalia.The day became asso-
ciated with romantic lovein the Middle Ages in England.For many, the figure of Valentine’s
Day is often Cupid, the god of love. Cupid is often portrayed as the
son of the love goddess Venus,and is known in Latin also asAmor (“Love”). His Greek coun-terpart is Eros.Cupid is usually portrayed as a small
winged child-like figure or cherub, armedwith a bow and arrow. In mythology, he
uses his arrow tostrike the
hearts ofpeople, andmake them
fall in love.People who
have fallen inlove aresometimes
said to be“struck by Cupid’s
arrow.” Other sym-bols of Valentine’s Dayare hearts and flowers.Gifts that are often ex-changed are flowers,chocolate, red roses and
people often celebratethe day by going outto dinner.
