This is the site of the independent Monitor appointed under the Global Settlement Agreement between the United States Department of Justice, the States of Illinois, California and New York, and Goldman Sachs, resolving, among other issues, claims related to Goldman Sachs's practices concerning residential mortgage-backed securities. The Global Settlement Agreement provides that the Monitor shall be fully independent although paid by Goldman Sachs. In this capacity, the Monitor is not representing any of the settling parties and cannot represent or provide legal or tax advice to individual homeowners. Neither Goldman Sachs nor any of the settling parties is able to direct or control the Monitor's work or his exercise of discretion. Homeowners considering seeking mortgage modifications or other relief from Goldman Sachs under the Global Settlement Agreement may wish to obtain legal or tax advice from a lawyer or tax advisor of their own selection. Individual homeowners who desire such assistance but who do not know where to obtain it or cannot afford it may visit sites found on Additional Resources.
