New Jersey-based mortgage company PHH Mortgage Corp. entered into a $750,000 settlement agreement Wednesday with the U.S. Justice Department to resolve wrongful foreclosure claims by military service members.

The agreement was signed by Justin Walker, vice president, legal, on behalf of PHH. The settlement resolves allegations made in a lawsuit, United States v. PHH, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint alleged that PHH violated the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) by unlawfully foreclosing on active-duty service members’ homes without the required court orders.
