LPS Announces It Has (Finally?) Added 'Integrity' To Software For Use In F'closure Document Management Capabilities; Declines Comment For National TV

The Palm Beach Post reports:

***

  • In countless foreclosure cases, attorneys have argued that Docx, a defunct subsidiary of LPS, used so-called robo-signers to sign sworn affidavits claiming they had "personal knowledge" of a foreclosure case, often without reviewing the documents.
  • One former employee told a 60 Minutes reporter that he signed the name of a co-worker, Linda Green, as fast as he could on thousands of documents. A notary who formerly worked for LPS said she was told to notarize documents without witnessing the signature.

  • LPS, which bills itself as the nation's largest provider of mortgage processing services, declined to comment on its software upgrades or the allegations in the 60 Minutes segments.
