The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has unveiled housing discrimination charges against owners and employees of a Redwood, Calif. mortgage modification business called the House Lawyer.
According to HUD, the House Lawyer allegedly violated the Fair Housing Act by targeting Hispanic homeowners with illegal and unfair mortgage modification services.
The House Lawyer also allegedly took fees from Hispanic borrowers prior to completing loan modification services, against state law, while putting the borrowers at risk of foreclosure by encouraging them not to pay their mortgages.
