LANSING (AP) -- Michigan's Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation (OFIR) says it recovered more than $27 million in 2010.
The agency also said in a statement Tuesday that it has recovered more than $143 million since its creation in 2000.
OFIR says $19 million of last year's recoveries involved mortgage and banking issues. The other $8 million was related to insurance and securities matters.
The 2010 recoveries were a result of more than 3,000 complaints resolved by the agency, whose consumer assistance staff answered more than 100,000 consumer calls during the year.
