Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies [Text Block]	Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies We have been named in various lawsuits. In cases where we have determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, we have recorded a liability representing our best estimate of our financial exposure based on known facts. While the ultimate disposition of each such pending lawsuit is not yet determinable, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these cases, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, we may from time to time be subject to audit or investigation by governmental agencies. Currently, governmental agencies are auditing or investigating certain of our operations. These audits or investigations include inquiries into, among other matters, certain appraisal matters and marketing services. With respect to matters where we have determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, we have recorded a liability representing our best estimate of the financial exposure based on known facts. While the ultimate disposition of each such audit or investigation is not yet determinable, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. At June 30, 2011, we have $5.8 million reserved for litigation and regulatory contingency matters. FDIC On May 9, 2011, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), as Receiver of Washington Mutual Bank (“WaMu”), filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against CoreLogic Valuation Services, LLC, f/k/a eAppraiseIT, LLC (“eAppraiseIT”) and several of its current and former affiliates. The FDIC complaint alleges that eAppraiseIT was grossly negligent and breached its contract with WaMu in the provision of appraisal services in 2006 and 2007 relating to 194 residential mortgage loans and seeks to recover losses of at least $129.0 million that WaMu allegedly suffered. The FDIC complaint asserts claims against eAppraiseIT's parent corporations, including CoreLogic, Inc., pursuant to alter ego theories of liability. On August 1, 2011, all defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint in its entirety on the grounds that the FDIC's allegations in the complaint fail to state a plausible claim as required by federal pleading standards. We intend to defend against these claims vigorously; however, we may not be successful. At this time, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these inquiries or the potential range of damages, if any. Class Action On June 30, 2011, a purported class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Teletrack, Inc. ("Teletrack"), one of our subsidiaries. The complaint alleges that Teletrack has been furnishing consumer reports to third parties who did not have a permissible purpose to obtain them in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq., and seeks to recover actual, punitive and statutory damages, as well as attorneys fees, litigation expenses and cost of suit. We intend to defend against this claim vigorously; however, we may not be successful. At this time, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this claim or the potential range of damages, if any. Separation As part of the Separation, we are responsible for a portion of FAFC’s contingent and other corporate liabilities. There were no amounts recorded at June 30, 2011. In the Separation and Distribution Agreement, we agreed with FAFC to share equally in the cost of resolution of a small number of corporate-level lawsuits including the consolidated securities litigation. Responsibility to manage each case has been assigned to either FAFC or us, with the managing party required to update the other party regularly and consult with the other party prior to certain important decisions such as settlement. The managing party will also have primary responsibility for determining the ultimate total liability, if any, related to the applicable case. We will record our share of any such liability when the responsible party determines a reserve is necessary in accordance with GAAP. At June 30, 2011, no reserves were considered necessary. In addition, the Separation and Distribution Agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of FAC’s financial services business with FAFC and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of FAC’s information solutions business with the Company. Specifically, each party will, and will cause its subsidiaries and affiliates to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its respective affiliates and subsidiaries and each of its respective officers, directors, employees and agents for any losses arising out of or otherwise in connection with the liabilities each such party assumed or retained pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement; and any breach by such party of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.
