- FraudThe letter informs homeowners that they may be eligible to join a national lawsuit or make a potential legal claim against a mortgage lender. The pitch from Fresh Start is that the homeowner must first pay $2,700 for the company to do “research” and then another $2,500 to retain a lawyer. Such up-front fees are a violation of federal regulations and Arizona consumer fraud laws. You can see what the letter looks like at: https://www.azag.gov/sites/default/files/Mortgage-Ploy-Letter.pdf

- Real Estate TransactionsEven though RESPA has been part of the legal landscape for over three decades, the average consumer is not aware of the regulations it contains. It is important to note that RESPA applies to most real estate transactions, but not all. For example, it does not apply to cash purchases, owner-financed transactions or the sale of land and commercial property. RESPA does apply to most residential transactions inArizona: any sale or refinance of residential real estate (1-4 family units) which is financed by any lender, such as a mortgage company, bank or credit union.
