Ocwen Financial expects to reach a settlement with state attorneys general regarding servicing practices very soon, according to Ronald Faris, the servicers president and CEO. State AGs have been working for more than a year to get other servicers to agree to terms similar to the $25 billion settlement reached with five large bank servicers in February 2012. A person with knowledge of the negotiations said terms with Ocwen have yet to be finalized or sent to the 50 state AGs, suggesting that it could be weeks before the settlement is completed. The source added that future settlements with servicers are likely to be reached on an individual basis, not bundled as they were with the settlement that involved Ally Financial, Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.
