David Lowman, the head of JPMorgan's mortgage division, presented a prepared testimony before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday in which he argued that bank employees are only human.

"We do not engage in a foreclosure sale if the modification succeeds or until the modification process fails," Lowman said. "That is not to say we are perfect -- we service millions of loans, and we sometimes do make mistakes. But when we find an error, we fix it."

Lowman's testimony at the Senate's hearing on "Problems in Mortgage Servicing From Modification to Foreclosure" came on the same day as a Congressional Oversight Panel report on the issues big banks are facing with foreclosures and mortgage-repurchase requests.
