South Floridians who want to speak to Florida’s attorney general about foreclosure problems, loan modifications or mortgage fraud can do it in person this weekend.
On Saturday in Miami, Attorney General Bill McCollum will be on hand for a Mortgage Fraud Community Forum. He’s hosting the event with Florida’s Interagency Mortgage Task Force.
The session is on “The Housing Crisis, Who to Trust and Where to Turn.” As Florida’s foreclosure crisis has deepened over the past two years, the Attorney General’s Office has handled hundreds of complaints about mortgage loan modifications and launched dozens of investigations into mortgage fraud since 2009.
The event is open to the public and free, but reservations are required. Call 877-385-1621. It will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. atMiami Dade College, Wolfson Campus, Chapman Conference Center, 300 NE Second Ave.
I think he’s had PLENTY of time to look into issues of fraud, deception, forgery, filing false claims, fake exhibits, felonious acts, etc. etc. etc.
He called on citizens to submit to his office examples of fraud last fall.
IT’S HIGH TIME HE TELL US WHAT HE IS “DOING” ABOUT IT AS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FLORIDIANS ARE EVICTED FROM THEIR HOMES EACH AND EVERY MONTH… & THE HOMES SIT VACANT WITH TOXIC TITLE’S!
Ask the ranks of MILLIONS of Florida’s new homeless men, women, children and seniors what they think about the AG’S “plan” to combat fraud.
TIME FOR SOME ACTION SIR!
I spoke with a guy in the Ga. attorney generals office yesterday. He told me that the OCGA laws….were not for people like me and that they did not pertain to the foreclosure situations. HA! Well, whatever…..
Ironically, here in Maryland I sent our Attorney General our foreclosure documents because the foreclosure mill used FORGED signatures & FORGED Notary. Apparently the ” lack of standing” wasn’t enough for the judge but when we submitted the forgeries as – Fraud on the Court – the foreclosure mill withdrew their lawsuit. The judge dismissed the case ” without” prejudice. These forgeries were substantiated by a forensic handwriting expert – with over 2,500 cases as an expert witness with the FBI. I went to MD Land Records and downloaded other foreclosures by this same foreclosure mill and discovered more documents with the same (forged) signatures.
I sent our documents along with the certificate explaining the forgeries to the Maryland Attorney General’s office because this particular foreclosure mill completed over 8,000 foreclosures in MD in 2009. IMHO – it is obvious they never check the documentation so my question to the AG was – how many of those families lost their homes illegally? It is also my understanding that a judge is supposed to report any such conduct in their courtroom by an ” officer of the court.”
I was told by our Attorney General’s Office that – this was not their problem!!!! ..and that I needed to hire an attorney because it was a civil matter. A civil matter? I later learned this particular foreclosure mill also handles the State’s delinquent tax foreclosures – imagine that! In fact, we started to sue the original lender (fraud) then learned the law firm retained by that lender has 15-20 paid lobbyists working directly with the Attorney General’s Office and other MD legislators”¦ “¦they even had a great picture of the AG on the law firm’s website at their Christmas party – gee, now aren’t they special? Sorry to digress – after receiving the rather obtuse response from the AG’s office – an odd thought occurred to me –
” “¦We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness”¦ “¦ But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security”¦”
Please keep up the fight – we sure we had a law firm like this in MD… hint hint… 🙂
