Making False Claims in Foreclosure Lawsuits

Individuals who sign large numbers of affidavits in foreclosure lawsuits without having knowledge of the information in the documents they are signing are often referred to as “robo”-signers. Other examples of mortgage fraud involve overcharging homeowners for foreclosure fees, service fees and failing to work with distressed homeowners with regard to the processing of their mortgage loan modification applications.
