Victim Of Massachusetts Foreclosure Rescue Operator Fights Back

The Boston Herald recently reported of the story of Diane Rayford, a very determined nurse, who had hundreds of thousands of dollars allegedly stolen from her by a local foreclosure rescue operator who targeted distressed homeowners facing foreclosure. The article reports that:
  • "[I]t took the feisty Trinidad native two years of endless lobbying of every conceivable law enforcement agency, hundreds of phone calls and even treks to suburban police stations before authorities took action."

Her persistent efforts to get law enforcement authorities to take her seriously finally culminated last week when Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley filed civil suits against 19 companies and individuals for allegedly tricking Rayford and several other Massachusetts residents into signing away their homes in a foreclosure rescue scheme.
