A Michigan Attorney General is determined to get some answers on behalf of his State's homeowners. Michigan AG Bill Schuette has issued criminal investigative subpoenas to mortgage support provider DocX and others companies affiliated with DocX; Lender Processing Services, Inc., Fidelity National Financial, Inc., and CT Corporations System.
The investigations are the result of a search Schuette originally began in April, after county officials expressed fear that many of the Mortgage Assignment documents being filed in their office were forged. Now Shuette's office is investigating whether these companies permitted robosigning of the legal documents, which makes it likely the signatures were forged or worse yet - that a proper review of the documents never took place.
Mr. Schuette sent out a public message to current or former employees of mortgage servicers or processing companies in Michigan: if you have knowledge of any unlawful practices related to mortgage servicing documents, call their office directly - (517) 373-1160.
The office in Michigan is also working with fellow Attorney General's on a national level to address malicious lending practices and consumer protection on a broad scale. While it is still too early to be sure of what these investigations will unearth, a Jacksonville Foreclosure Defense Lawyer hopes that these companies are held accountable for their actions.
