Federal Crackdown On Mortgage Loan Fraud
Federal Crackdown On Mortgage Loan Fraud
One of the agencies named is in Aliso Viejo, in Orange County. The FTC alleges that Lucas Law Center fraudulently advised clients to stop paying their mortgages and pay the firm nearly $4,000 to help negotiate fraudulent mortgage loan modifications. A second Orange County firm, US Foreclosure Relief Corp,. also received a cease-and-desist order.
Brown's office filed lawsuits in Los Angeles County and Orange County against five California companies, alleging that the companies gave misleading advice, forged documents and falsified financial documents related to mortgages. One Newport Beach man was arrested for misappropriating the name of the Department of Housing and Urban Development for use in his mortgage loan modification business.
