Representing Victims of Mortgage Fraud and Payday Lender Abuses

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.

Payday Lender Abuses / Predatory Lending Practices

Hersh & Hersh is applying expertise in the area of payday lending abuse. Payday lenders use predatory lending tactics. This means that they routinely victimize their clients who need cash urgently. They often charge interest rates that violate laws and they trap consumers in a never-ending cycle of debt.

When using a payday lender to advance cash to you on your paycheck, whether in person or over the internet, you must be aware that in the end, you most likely will pay extremely high interest rates for this “service.” In many states, there are laws to protect you from this abuse and Hersh & Hersh will use those laws to the fullest extent.

Hersh & Hersh is helping the victims of predatory payday lending practices and we can help you. If you have used a payday lending service and are now paying back your earnings, most likely you are struggling to repay at extremely high rates of interest that might violate the law.

Please contact an attorney at Hersh & Hersh for help. We will pursue financial compensation from those responsible for violation of the laws that protect consumers from high interest rate abuses that can cause you financial harm.
