Latest News About Caliber Home Loans

Here’s a quick update on Caliber Home Loans based on the latest publicly available information I can access.

• California DFPI settlement (2025): Caliber Home Loans, now absorbed into Newrez, reached a settlement with California regulators related to overcharges on prepaid interest for California borrowers. The agreement involved fines and refunds and the company agreed to relinquish certain California licenses. This reflects regulatory action tied to activity prior to Caliber’s dissolution and does not affect Newrez’s ongoing California operations under their current name and structure.[1][5][7]

• General regulatory history: Caliber has faced other regulatory and legal scrutiny in the past, including investigations by New York’s attorney general in 2015 over servicing practices, and prior consumer/ class-action settlements in other states (e.g., Minnesota) related to disclosures and charges. These actions are part of a broader history of regulatory oversight for mortgage lenders in which Caliber participated before its dissolution and integration into Newrez/Rithm Capital.[2][5]

• Corporate status: Caliber originated as an independent lender, was acquired by New Residential Investment Corp (later rebranded as Rithm Capital), and its loans are now serviced by a Newrez subsidiary. The Caliber brand itself has largely been dissolved and its licenses relinquished in California as part of that transition.[4][1]

Notes and context:

• The information here emphasizes actions that are publicly reported by state regulators and major financial news sources. If you need, I can pull more details on the California DFPI settlement terms or provide a timeline of Caliber’s regulatory actions and corporate transitions.
• If you’re looking for the very latest developments beyond the 2025 California action, please tell me the specific region or aspect you care about (e.g., regulatory actions, servicing operations, or corporate structure), and I’ll expand accordingly.
