Victims of Predatory Lending

Representing Victims of Mortgage Fraud

In recent years, predatory mortgage lenders and brokers engaged in fraud, selling residential and commercial mortgages to buyers who did not have the income and credit rating to qualify for a traditional mortgage. It has come to light that mortgage companies have added illegal and/or undisclosed mortgage costs and fees.

These mortgage fraud schemes have had negative consequences for the economy nationally and internationally. The people affected the most, however, are the consumers who were tricked into buying mortgages with sky-high interest rates and payments they could not afford. Unable to make payments, mortgage fraud victims have defaulted on loans, lost their homes to foreclosure and ruined their credit ratings.
