Fifteen Banks Under Increased Scrutiny by HUD

January 19, 2010

19 January 2010 ? On January 14th HUD‘s Inspector General Ken Donahue and Commissioner David Stevens issued fifteen subpoenas to banks that had too high of a default rate. FHA is taking this seriously by looking into how banks manage risk and fraud. More audits are yet to come. Banks under scrutiny include:

- Sterling National Mortgage
- Dell Franklin Financial
- D & R Mortgage
- Wester Bank
- Mac-Clair Mortgage
- American Investment Group
- 1st Advantage Mortgage
- American Sterling Bank
- First Tennessee Bank
- Alethes LLC
- Security Atlantic Mortgage
- Pine State Mortgage
- Birmingham Bancorp Mortgage Group
- Alacrity Financial Services
- Assurity Financial Services

The subpoenas do not mean these banks are guilty of anything but the list is out there. However, once on the list the bank looks suspicious.
