Mortgage Fraud

The government is increasingly vigilant about protecting consumers who have been victimized by mortgage fraud. Prosecutors investigate mortgage scams and attempt to hold responsible individuals and businesses that take advantage of homebuyers and homeowners. Were you or your company charged with mortgage fraud for any of the following reasons?

  • You posed as a mortgage company although you aren’t licensed as a mortgage broker.
  • You assisted people who shouldn’t have qualified in getting mortgages by illegal actions such as paying part of their down payment out of pocket.
  • You committed fraud of any kind in connection with a refinancing scheme.

  • Paying restitution in exchange for dismissal or reduction of charges
  • Deferred sentencing — If you correct your errors and commit no further wrongdoing, your charges will be dropped after a period of time.
