Florida Takes 4 To Court For Charging Up Front Fees
March 26th, 2009
From the article:
Named in the suit filed Wednesday in Miami-Dade Circuit Court are: Mortgage Crisis Solutions Association, Property Solutions Specialists, One Source Communications and Nationwide Financial Partners. Principals Donald R. Gillette and Flynn McCarthy also were sued.
The defendants are accused of charging homeowners in foreclosure as much as $2,995 for loan-modification services but not providing any services. The attorney general’s office also accuses the defendants of offering legal services to customers, which it says constitutes the unauthorized practice of law.
The state obtained an injunction freezing the assets of Mortgage Crisis Solutions and Gillette, identified as the company’s owner.
