Consumer Fraud

July 27, 2020 By Marc Dann

I was Ohio’s Attorney General when the fraud-driven collapse of the housing market documented in “The Con” began. I’m proud to say that my office was at the forefront of the effort to hold the big banks, predatory lenders, rating agencies, mortgage brokers, stock and bond speculators, brokerage firms, real estate appraisers and others who ignited the near-collapse of the global economy accountable for their actions. The things I learned as we investigated the mortgage industry were extremely … [Read more...] about You’re invited to attend the free virtual world premiere of the “The Con” on August 5

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Seila Law v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau marked the culmination of a years-long attack against the agency by the business community, Congressional Republicans, and the Trump administration. It also provided a major dose of “be careful what you wish for because you just might get it” for the powerful forces who have been trying to destroy the CFPB since it was created in the wake of the collapse of the nation’s housing market in … [Read more...] about Supreme Court ruling that CFPB may continue to operate is win for consumers, major blow to lenders, scam artists

I was mildly enthusiastic about the CARES Act immediately after it was passed because it appeared to be substantially different from the stimulus plan crafted by the federal government during the Great Recession of 2008. That package funneled trillions of dollars to the big banks and Wall Street speculators whose unfettered greed nearly destroyed the world’s financial system but did relatively little to help working and middle-class families devastated by the collapse of the housing market. … [Read more...] about COVID-19 Update 8: Thoughts on the CARES Act, Planning for life after the pandemic

DannLaw attorneys suspect troubled bank has understated number of victims, urges Wells borrowers who received loan modifications between 2010 and 2015 to seek legal advice. Earlier this year Wells Fargo revealed in an SEC filing that a “software glitch” caused the bank to improperly deny mortgage loan modifications to 625 homeowners between 2010 and 2015. At the time, Wells said it had set aside eight million dollars to compensate borrowers impacted by the mistake, including the 400 families … [Read more...] about Wells Fargo offering loan mod scandal victims lowball settlements, mediation instead of fair compensation

Last year, Edwardo Sanchez, a paralegal in DannLaw’s New Jersey and New York office became the first person in his family to graduate from college, an event he proudly shared on Twitter. His tweet was noticed and retweeted by none other than Bill Gates who told his 43.2 million followers that Edwardo’s story was an “amazing moment of hope and progress” in what had been a “really tough year.” I agree with Mr. Gates, Edwardo’s achievement gives us all hope that the American Dream is still … [Read more...] about Keeping the Dream Alive
