practice is consistent with what Federal Reserve and Office of Comptroller Currency called EverBank's "unsafe and unsound practices in mortgage servicing and foreclosure processing."(See</span></span></span></font></font></span></font></span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/02/business/fed-targets-eight-more-firms-%20in-foreclosure-probe.html" rel="nofollow"
