Knoxville Mortgage Fraud Attorney
Defending You Against Accusations of Fraud
What is mortgage fraud? Simply put, this criminal offense involves a fraudulent and deceitful attempt -- successful or otherwise -- by a mortgage loan applicant to receive a loan that he or she may not be truly qualified to receive. The federal government takes this fraud crime very seriously, particularly in light of the recent struggles in the housing market evidenced by an escalating number of home foreclosures.
Examples of mortgage fraud include:
- Home buyers listing a higher income on a loan application than is correct in order to get approved
- Real estate developers giving misleading information to banks to qualify buyers
- False information given by mortgage bankers to get better loans for their clients
- Real estate agents paying the down payment on a property while not informing the bank
