The Florida Attorney General's Office said Friday it filed lawsuits against two Florida loan modification companies. Another company signed a settlement document that requires it to shut down.
The lawsuits were filed against south Florida's Keep Your Property Inc. and Jacksonville-based National Foreclosure Counseling Services Corp. The attorney general's office alleges that both companies charged up-front fees to customers facing foreclosure. This is against the law in Florida.
Orlando-based Homestead Protection Services LLC, which also allegedly charged cash up-front, agreed to dissolve the company and pay $20,000 in consumer restitution.
