According to the state’s lawsuit, New Hope has engaged since 2007 in unlicensed debt adjustment in New Jersey, including mortgage loan modification services, and has falsely represented that it has affiliations with government programs including the Hope Now Alliance. The state charges that, through its Web site, and through agreements with other businesses that provide leads, the unlicensed New Hope has sold loan modification help to distressed homeowners, failed to deliver on its promises of mortgage loan assistance, and failed to provide refunds once consumers realized they were getting nothing for their money. In one case a Linden, Union County, woman facing foreclosure had a total of $1,500 electronically drawn from her bank account to cover the “fee” she owed New Hope, but received no loan modification help in return.
With the lawsuits announced today, the state has filed a total of eight mortgage fraud complaints since last June naming 87 individual and corporate defendants. Milgram noted that the fraud schemes charged in those complaints have run the gamut, and have included those aimed at victims seeking to own investment properties, those hopeful of improving their living situations via “rent-to-own” opportunities and, more recently, in keeping with the societal trend, property owners in need of foreclosure rescue assistance.
