Missouri AG Files Suit Against Two Mortgage Refinancing Firms Accused Of Calling Consumers Having Phone Numbers On State's "Do Not Call" Registry

In Jefferson City, Missouri, the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports:

• Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster announced today suits against two area mortgage-refinancing companies that allegedly called consumers who have placed their telephone numbers on the state’s Do-Not-Call registry. Koster’s office says in a press release that the suit is part of a “zero-tolerance stance against illegal mortgage operations.”

• Last month, Koster sued two other refinance companies, arguing that they misled consumers with deceptive mailers, and a third firm for allegedly bilking consumers with a useless and expensive foreclosure-consulting service. The latest suit is against SJS Investments and A & J Mortgage Brokers, which does business as Equity One Mortgage. The companies are based in St. Peters and Hillsboro, Missouri.
