Lawmakers Call for Federal Foreclosure Investigation

The request was prompted by the recent reports of systemic mishandling of foreclosure affidavits by three major mortgage servicers. Delegation members say they have received thousands of complaints from their constituents, which "appear to outline a clear pattern of misconduct on the part of lenders and servicers."
