State Regulator Orders Loan Modification Firm To Cease Business Activities In Idaho

From the Idaho Department of Finance:
  • The Idaho Department of Finance has issued a cease and desist order against a Nevada-based business, Your Credit Angel, LLC, which purports to assist distressed homeowners in avoiding foreclosure by offering mortgage loan modification services.

  • "A person engaged as a third party in mortgage loan modification activities in Idaho must be licensed as a credit counselor," said Gavin Gee, director of the Idaho Department of Finance. Gee said the unlicensed activities of "Your Credit Angel" were brought to the department’s attention by an Idaho customer who reported paying an upfront fee of $1,495 to that company. The customer could not obtain a refund and reported that he got nothing for his money. In the cease and desist order, the director ordered "Your Credit Angel" to immediately stop offering mortgage modification services in Idaho without a license.
