The data, obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, show evidence of fraudulent email letters of support for the merger, and other troubling information about the bank. Information provided by the OCC confirms that the national bank regulator was aware that certain letters of support for the OneWest/CIT bank merger were fabricated, and sought a response from the bank and its counsel. The FOIA response did not include any answer from the Bank to the OCC’s question. The FOIA response also indicated certain consumer complaints and improper foreclosures practices. Perhaps most striking is that amount of information requested that was not provided. Attachments: 1. CRC/Inner City Press FOIA request letter to OCC (July 10, 2017) 2.

Paulina Gonzalez-Brito and CRC My name is Paulina Gonzalez-Brito. I am the Executive Director of the CRC. The California Reinvestment Coalition builds an inclusive and fair economy that meets the needs of communities of color and low-income communities by ensuring that banks and other corporations invest and conduct business in our communities in a just and equitable manner. We envision a future in which people of color and low-income people live and participate fully and equally in financially healthy and stable communities without fear of displacement, and have the tools necessary to build household and community wealth. Over the last 30 years, CRC has grown into the largest statewide reinvestment coalition in the country, with a membership of 300 organizations that serve low-income communities and communities of color. CRC has our main office in San Francisco, and an office in Los Angeles. Introduction In this testimony, I wish to highlight to following points: 1. The ability of communities to have their voices heard through a fair and transparent public comment process is central to the Community Reinvestment Act and its effective implementation.
