Attorney General William Tong today joined a bipartisan coalition of 33 attorneys general in opposing a proposed class action settlement that would permit a mortgage servicer to profit from illegal payment processing fees charged to homeowners making normal mortgage payments online or by phone. The coalition filed a motion for leave to file an amicus brief, opposing the proposed settlement in Morris et al. v. PHH Mortgage Corporation, et al., where mortgage servicer PHH Mortgage Corporation and its predecessor corporation, Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC (collectively PHH), would be able to continue to profit from illegal processing fees the company has been charging to nearly one million homeowners nationwide, including 17,264 homeowners residing in Connecticut alone.

Liss-Riordan has been dubbed Uber’s archnemesis for overseeing a series of challenges to the company s labor policies. Most notably she represented drivers in California and Massachusetts in a case settled in 2019, where Uber agreed to pay $20 million to drivers who said they were misclassified, but the company did not change its policies.
In the New York class-action complaint, filed Nov. 3, Liss-Riordan said the workers should be considered employees under existing state law.
“We are seeking injunctive relief that they properly classify their drivers, as well as restitution for past damages,” Liss-Riordan said by phone.
Uber filed a month later for a stay in the legal challenge, asking the judge to rule that the dispute belonged in private arbirtation.

Attorney General William Tong today led a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general urging the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to hold accountable drug manufacturers that are unlawfully imperiling access to affordable prescriptions for low-income patients.
Subscribe Drug manufacturers are unlawfully attempting to disrupt arrangements that have long made it easier for low-income Americans to access prescription drugs. HHS must immediately step in to protect vulnerable patients from the unlawful and unacceptable actions of these drug manufacturers. The 340b Drug Pricing Program has strong bipartisan support from lawmakers and leaders nationwide, and HHS should not allow drug makers to unilaterally ignore their obligations, said Attorney General Tong.
