Attorney General Josh Shapiro alerted consumers, Tuesday, to mortgage modification scams taking place across Pennsylvania.
The Office of Attorney General has already received 15 complaints from consumers this year about mortgage modification scams, compared with 61 complaints last year.
A mortgage modification involves obtaining a lower interest rate or extended payment terms on your loan and happens when a company fails to provide mortgage modification services to consumers after accepting payment – or fails to issue refunds to consumers for modification services that were never delivered.
If you suspect you are a victim of a questionable business practice or a mortgage modification scam, contact the Office of Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection at 800-441-2555.
