Max Claim Value:
$500
The District of Columbia Attorney General has obtained a settlement in a lawsuit against several title insurance companies. The lawsuit alleged that these companies engaged in illegal kickback schemes by offering real estate agents discounted ownership interests and lucrative profit-sharing in exchange for business referrals in violation of the District’s Consumer Protection Procedures Act (CPPA) and the D.C. insurance code, as it restricted homebuyers' ability to shop for the best prices and services while unfairly harming law-abiding competitors.
You may be eligible for benefits if you are a District of Columbia resident who purchased title insurance or escrow services through the identified title companies and real estate agents during the qualifying time period.
You are a District of Columbia resident
You purchased title insurance or escrow services from Universal Title, Allied Title & Escrow, KVS Title, Modern Settlements, or Union Settlements
You purchased through real estate agents who received financial incentives for the referral
