PRWeb - Thu Aug 07, 10:25PM CDT
Lenders like Peoples Home Equity were intrigued by news of a landmark deal between the Justice Department and Bank of America Corp. As stated in an August 6th Wall Street Journal release, with this deal, Bank of America will pay $16 to $17 billion to resolve "allegations of mortgage-related misconduct". This agreement "would eclipse a $13 billion deal" that was struck by Justice Department and J.P. Morgan Chase just nine months prior. Bank of America will pay $9 billion cash towards improving the financial situation and will pay additional money to help the struggling homeowners. The bank will also raise its quarterly dividend from 1 cent up to 5 cents. In addition the current $16-$17 billion settlement in decision now, Bank of America may owe an additional $6 billion to the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
