Wisconsin AG Scores $110K+ Default Judgment Against Forensic Loan Audit Outfit That Pocketed Upfront Fees From Consumers

From the Office of the Wisconsin Attorney General:

• Attorney General J.B. VanHollen announced [] that the Wisconsin Department of Justice has obtained a default judgment of $111,861 against Relief Law Center, Inc., (d/b/a USA Loan Auditors), for violating Wisconsin's consumer protection laws in soliciting purported loan modification services.

***

• The lawsuit charged USA Loan Auditors, a California company, with using deceptive and misleading representations in its mail solicitations. The solicitations were designed to appear as though the company was a “loan auditor” investigating the homeowner's lender but it in fact was soliciting purported loan modification services. The judgment was obtained following the failure of the company to file an answer to the complaint. The judgment enjoins the company from further violations and orders $118,861 in forfeitures, penalties, and costs to the State for prosecution.
