Ohio AG sues Ally Financial over foreclosures - Yahoo! Finance

Ohio AG sues Ally Financial over foreclosures - Yahoo! Finance: "WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ohio's attorney general is suing Ally Financial Inc. and its GMAC Mortgage division, alleging the company violated state fraud laws in handling foreclosure cases.

The action could be the first in a wave of lawsuits by state regulators over what appear to be widespread problems in documents used by the nation's largest mortgage lenders.

Attorney General Richard Cordray said Wednesday the alleged fraud could involve hundreds of foreclosures in the state. The lawsuit claims the company's employees signed and filed false affidavits to mislead courts. Cordray called the alleged fraud the 'tip of an iceberg of industrywide abuse of the foreclosure process.'"
