Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jacques: As you know, our firm represents JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("Chase") in the above- referenced actions in which you have purported to sue Chase for allegedly failing to respond to your qualified written requests ("QWRs") under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act,12 U.S.C. $ 2605 ("RESPA"). As I have explained several times now, your claims are meritless because Chase is not your loan servicer and has not been your loan seryicer since, at latest, 2005, which Chase also explained to you by letter dated January 27,2014. Thus, your RESPA claims have no basis in law or fact and are meritless because RESPA permits QWRs to be sent by borrowers onlv to their current loan servicers, among several other defects in your claims. In the past few weeks, however, you have not returned any of my almost daily phone calls. Therefore, I am writing you this letter to propose a global settlement of all claims filed or that could have been filed by you, as well as all claims asserted or intended to be asserted against you by Chase. Chase has authorized me to offer you $2,500 to settle all claims under the terms described more fully below. While your claims are meritless, as discussed above, Chase is willing to make this cash payment to avoid the expense of litigation.
