The problems at Doral Financial Corp. continued Tuesday, when it informed the Securities and Exchange Commission that it will be unable to file its first quarter results report for the period ended Mar. 31 this week, a day after the deadline passed.
Financially troubled Doral Financial Corp. fired off a letter to the Puerto Rico Treasury Department late last week asking the agency to comply with the terms of a closing agreement reached in 2012 obligating the government to refund the bank for tax over-payments estimated at about $232 million.
Two days after Doral Financial Corp. disclosed its weakened capital position, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said Wednesday it lowered its issuer credit rating to 'CC' from 'CCC-' and placed the rating on CreditWatch with negative implications.
