Exactly. They can't tie the home to a loan as any loan using the property as collateral requires the deed to be signed off. No, a digital signature will not be accepted. Any loans that accept digital signatures are not a secured loan.
Yeah, I still don't quite get how they had someone's name tied to a bogus SSN, but they accepted it anyway. I recently got a HELOC. They ask for your SSN and get all of your information based on that. Unless they're saying the thieves have an insider in the SS administration that can generate fake numbers and attach names to them (which then means this scam is much bigger), the moment they did a search, they should have realized something's not right, because the number would come back with either a different person's name or a different address. I wish they explained that part better.

They have likely already filed for bankruptcy protection.

What a minute, when I applied for a home equity the bank made me jump through all sorts of hoops and I had visits from experts. Why wasn't this guy put thru the same.
And the fact they paid the Fake Contractor directly show corrupt inside kick backs, this is never legal or proper. The lender is just as criminal as the fake contractor and should go to jail as an example to other tempted lenders to defaud victims.
Lax lending laws is to blame for the ease of this kind of fraud. Digital signatures, all online, no physical proof of identity or ownership of property are the real issue with these lenders.
@@beezusHrist IP addresses are easily faked or masked. It's done all the time with VPN's. There is ample other software out there that can mask or change your IP address as well.
@Wippzi the ip address will prove if it is fraud or not, that's why it works with the digital signature. If these people were actually scammed, the ip address attached to the digital signature WILL show that.
A credit card company came after me and sued trying to collect a debt for someone that had the same name as me. When I went to court I provided my SSN and the defense attorney turned beet red, case dismissed. These companies don’t do the most basic due diligence.
Same names can be a problem. 5 other people in my city has the same names as myself. Checked my credit report and there was a business listed on it. I have never owned a business and disputed it. It was removed from my the report.
Should've sued for gross negligence, leading to emotional trauma. Any mediocre personal injury attorney would've taken that case for an easy settlement offer.
If the lender did not exercise due diligence in verifying the identity of the loan applicant, then it should be entirely on them. What's to stop lenders from fraudulently opening loan accounts and pocketing the proceeds?
This should have no consequences at all for the ID theft victim. The lender didn't do their due diligence and gave $45k to a fraudster, they should have no claim on the guy's house at all. In fact, if nothing except the name matches, it sounds like they didn't do any at all, and should be regarded as complicit.
The lender should have to pay the victim’s attorney’s fee!!! I think in fact there should be a class action lawsuit against both the fraudsters AND the lender!!!
@LuvnLemons Yes. This. I don't live in the US, and I had my identity stolen about a decade ago (and it was a much better job than this). In 24hrs these folks took out about $25k of credit in my name and spent most of it on iPhones and other electronics that were never seen again. Because I live in (probably) a better protected and fairer legal environment than US, and because I was already signed up with Experian to protect my credit, I was able to get it all reversed and taken off my record without needing a lawyer. But I still reckon it took 60-80hrs of my time. Basically I worked for the equivalent of 1-2weeks, and had to get everything exactly right, and never got paid a cent. I honestly think that in cases of ID theft, unless the mechanics of the theft are genuinely very good im terms of fakery, in addition to the lender eating the loss, they should have to pay 10-20% of the total out to the IDtheft victim as compensation. That might make them care about doing due diligence a bit more.
The fact the *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* was facing adventures to help the people was so kind. Mad respect to you man. Appreciate all you do to help others. You are setting a great example for the community Skillful recovery.
How about quit telling the 'public' to guard against these crimes and tell the BANKS to do their job.Banks don't get to hide behind, "Well we are trying to do things quicker, faster....so we don't need to make sure our loans are legit". Try speeding down the interstate and when the cop pulls you over say, "There is nothing I can do. I'm trying to get to my destination quicker, faster...so I don't need to follow rules".
Electronic notaries are valid and accepted almost everywhere.....but, the notary must still do their job and ask for hard valid proof of ID, or you as a notary should not notarize the instrument.
@@gman6081 I'm a notary in CA where this is not allowed for exactly this reason. Closing documents still require original signatures regardless of the notarized docs.
Looks like the lender didn't even run a basic credit check before handing over $45k, running a check will immediately spot the mismatch between name, SSN, DoB and other information. The company should immediately remove all liens on the homeowners because this whole thing is due to their negligence.

Someone (probably many someones) at Good Leap was in on this. Too many fraud guardrails were overlooked in every instance, for this to be an accident. Also, in mortgages nowadays, they mail a letter to the mailing addreas affiliated with the county assessor's office, as an additional fraud check. That less-than-$1 option could have saved them a LOT of money (and probably some prison time).

If the homeowner didn't sign the loan documents thats fraud and the loan company suffers the loss not the homeowner. This is why notary requires id and thumb print. Don't let the loan company trick you into paying the loan for their mistake. Get a lawyer sue the contractor and loan company for triple damages.

They might have been in on the scam. Some scam circles actually have several people that orchestrate the scam. For instance, one person working at the SS administration, another at a bank, and a third at the Department of Motor vehicles.
This one is financially on the lender. This should have been caught with someone simply driving by to verify the work. Criminally, it is on the "contractor".
Roses are red, violets are blue. I love *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* , and so do you. The biggest Surprise each time you expose a scammer is how little remorse or self-reflection they show. It makes it very easy to dislike them even more and to support everything you throw at them

Good eye. You are right. It seems like title companies could offer a type of protection at purchase to monitor against this kind of scam, especially bc the counties are trash at it. And that's a lot of work for homeowners.
You are doing a noble service to all people! I wish I was smart enough to help you. *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* I am a computer illiterate thank you for fighting against people who take advantage of vulnerable people like me
The banks need to be on the hook for these scams ..they need to send actual reps to the properties to talk with the property owners and confirm them as actually taking out the loans ..
Why is the property owner liable for anything if the lender can't provide any accurate information or record of a credit check? That should immediately relieve the home owner of any responsibility.
So you get scammed and then have to come out of pocket to pay a lawyer to remove a fraudulent lien which may take months to remove? Unbelievable… My next step would be to sue the daylights out of the lender for negligence.
The work *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* is so honest the world essentials more individuals like you I fundamentally love the web recording you set up love hearing these scoundrels wriggle keep on doing glorious, uncommon hearted people the gutts to do this considering everything
If a financial institution gives a loan to a client with property that client doesn't own as collateral, it should be on the financial institution to collect against their client, not the property owner. Our laws favor criminals too heavily over victims and this must stop. No entity should be able to slap a lien on the property of others without an actual jury award for the damages sought. It is a basic principle of law that under no circumstances does one ever have the right to sell the property of another without permission of the actual property owner, or a court judgement for the amount owed. This must be forced into our legal system under all circumstances, with offenders forced to pay all legal expenses.
THAT IS WHAT I AM THINKING ALSO. FREEZE TITLE TRANSFER, UNTIL PROPER OWNER COME IN WITH FINGER PRINTS, EVEN DNA SAMPLE. THIS HAVE TO STOP. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO PAY RECORDER OFFICE EXXTRA FEE FOR THE SECURITY.
The first gentleman said his SSN wasn’t even used for his loan application. And why should this not be the responsibility of the lender who doesn’t even get a wet signature on its loan docs, and instead gets a fraudulent digital signature?
It concerns me that the first victim was able to find the “humor” in it. The sad fact is that if victims don’t have money to retain legal help, they’re going to lose.
I've seen a few stories similar to this, so I know there are many more that I haven't seen. The fact that something like this can happen this day and and age is wild, knowing how strenuous an approval process can be.
Always lock your credit to protect yourself. Next, signup w/ a title lock co. If you are ever scammed, a good work-around is imm. filing a formal complaint with the FTC. When money is drafted w/o expressed permission - wire fraud was committed.
If they’re actually getting new social security numbers to match the homeowner’s name then someone at SSA is also involved. If they track all those SS numbers, something tells me they were all issued by the same worker. This scam has multiple players.
A friend of mine in West Virginia has lost his 200 yr old family homestead due to a contractor under similar conditions. My friend is 75 yrs old and now has no place to live.
Legal procedings are crappy and attorneys are expensive but it seems like the company should take the loss. It's not his fault or his bill. The only way these companies will learn is if they have to eat the mistake.
I love you guys! I think you're super heroes! kudos to you for doing what you do. *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* You may not be able to get them all, but you get enough to make it worthwhile. You save people! Thank you we need more people like you in this generation to stop these scams.
There's something wrong with this picture. Oh, I know! The homeowner should NOT be liable for this. The sooner courts figure this new scam out the better
15.99 percent interest, 45K loan, 67K interest, 112K total after 119 payments (ten years) at $934 per month. That's the real crime. GoodLeap? More like worst leap imaginable.
This is also a government due diligence issue; no entity should be able to randomly put a lien on a property without it being fully verified by all parties and proper real identities being certified. If you can’t use it to board an aircraft, you shouldn’t be able to use it for a real estate transaction.
THAT IS WHAT I AM THINKING ALSO. FREEZE TITLE TRANSFER, UNTIL PROPER OWNER COME IN WITH FINGER PRINTS, EVEN DNA SAMPLE. THIS HAVE TO STOP. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO PAY RECORDER OFFICE EXXTRA FEE FOR THE SECURITY. LETS GET PETITION FOR CONGRESS TO STOP THIS
Your content is awesome, and seeing someone who has 8.9k customers, and do something good for people who has less, makes *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* just feel so happy in side. I am glad someone like you could do something so kind for people who don't have as much.
there should be a one month wait time on all loans to make absolutely sure that everything is legitimate, including criminal background checks, with the person who's making the loan present at said meeting . yes it's a big hassle, but it's better than losing your house! scammers should get long prison terms.
The lenders are just as responsible for this mess and should be heavily fined by the government. The SSNs didn't even match the names and yet they pushed out loans and put liens on victims. That level of negligence has to be criminal.

I’d be willing to bet that the fraud goes much, much deeper than just the contractor and lending company.
What a minute, when I applied for a home equity the bank made me jump through all sorts of hoops and I had visits from experts. Why wasn't this guy put thru the same.
You aren’t part of the system
Fabricated story
Perhaps because you borrowed from a reputable lender, who wasn't part of a scam operation.
The lender was in on the scam.
Because this lender knows they aren't doing everything they can to combat fraud. Your lender was being normal
And the fact they paid the Fake Contractor directly show corrupt inside kick backs, this is never legal or proper. The lender is just as criminal as the fake contractor and should go to jail as an example to other tempted lenders to defaud victims.
This is important and should be national news not just locally. Great report thanks 👍
Lax lending laws is to blame for the ease of this kind of fraud. Digital signatures, all online, no physical proof of identity or ownership of property are the real issue with these lenders.
NONSENSE! This is why IP addresses exist
@@beezusHrist IP addresses are easily faked or masked. It's done all the time with VPN's. There is ample other software out there that can mask or change your IP address as well.
@@beezusHristoh buddy never base ANYTHING off IP adresses🤣💀💀💀
@Wippzi the ip address will prove if it is fraud or not, that's why it works with the digital signature. If these people were actually scammed, the ip address attached to the digital signature WILL show that.
@@Wippzi 🤡🤡🤡
So anyone can put a lien on your house without any evidence or pictures of work being done. Wow
Yep. The can also change deeds. It’s so scary
If someone takes out a loan against your home. It is the lenders problem for not doing due diligence before making the loan.
Yup because signatures are required and it wasn't his real signature
And if I were a victim I'd go after the lender and sue there dumbasses!!!!
signature are store digitalize now , so it can be copied if they have access to old record.s
Sue em
A credit card company came after me and sued trying to collect a debt for someone that had the same name as me.
When I went to court I provided my SSN and the defense attorney turned beet red, case dismissed. These companies don’t do the most basic due diligence.
Same names can be a problem. 5 other people in my city has the same names as myself. Checked my credit report and there was a business listed on it. I have never owned a business and disputed it. It was removed from my the report.
Should've sued for gross negligence, leading to emotional trauma. Any mediocre personal injury attorney would've taken that case for an easy settlement offer.
If the lender did not exercise due diligence in verifying the identity of the loan applicant, then it should be entirely on them. What's to stop lenders from fraudulently opening loan accounts and pocketing the proceeds?
The govt MUST go after the lenders.
There is no way people should have to deal with this.
the lenders who didnt do their due diligence should be required to give legitimate interest free loans to the victims
Agree
This should have no consequences at all for the ID theft victim. The lender didn't do their due diligence and gave $45k to a fraudster, they should have no claim on the guy's house at all. In fact, if nothing except the name matches, it sounds like they didn't do any at all, and should be regarded as complicit.
The lender should have to pay the victim’s attorney’s fee!!! I think in fact there should be a class action lawsuit against both the fraudsters AND the lender!!!
@LuvnLemons Yes. This. I don't live in the US, and I had my identity stolen about a decade ago (and it was a much better job than this). In 24hrs these folks took out about $25k of credit in my name and spent most of it on iPhones and other electronics that were never seen again. Because I live in (probably) a better protected and fairer legal environment than US, and because I was already signed up with Experian to protect my credit, I was able to get it all reversed and taken off my record without needing a lawyer. But I still reckon it took 60-80hrs of my time. Basically I worked for the equivalent of 1-2weeks, and had to get everything exactly right, and never got paid a cent.
I honestly think that in cases of ID theft, unless the mechanics of the theft are genuinely very good im terms of fakery, in addition to the lender eating the loss, they should have to pay 10-20% of the total out to the IDtheft victim as compensation. That might make them care about doing due diligence a bit more.
The lenders who didn’t do their due diligence, need to eat their bad loans. I’m not sure why the property owners would care to do business with them.
The fact the *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* was facing adventures to help the people was so kind. Mad respect to you man.
Appreciate all you do to help others. You are setting a great example for the community Skillful recovery.
How about quit telling the 'public' to guard against these crimes and tell the BANKS to do their job.Banks don't get to hide behind, "Well we are trying to do things quicker, faster....so we don't need to make sure our loans are legit".
Try speeding down the interstate and when the cop pulls you over say, "There is nothing I can do. I'm trying to get to my destination quicker, faster...so I don't need to follow rules".
Not only are you closing the way for scammers, you are also educating the public and making them aware. Well done *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* .
You're supposed to sign closing documents in person with current photo ID. Looks like this lender dropped the ball
Electronic notaries are valid and accepted almost everywhere.....but, the notary must still do their job and ask for hard valid proof of ID, or you as a notary should not notarize the instrument.
@@gman6081 I'm a notary in CA where this is not allowed for exactly this reason. Closing documents still require original signatures regardless of the notarized docs.
Looks like the lender didn't even run a basic credit check before handing over $45k, running a check will immediately spot the mismatch between name, SSN, DoB and other information. The company should immediately remove all liens on the homeowners because this whole thing is due to their negligence.
@@gman6081In Maryland it was the notary and the lending company scamming people like this.
One of the all-time greatest Scam alert vids! You, sir, are not just a National Treasure, you're an INTERNATIONAL Treasure!

I don't get it. They didn't have the SSN of the victims. How on earth did these lenders not notice that? We've always been taught to not give out your SSN to anyone. In this case, it didn't matter. They still got scammed. I'd sue Good Leap in this case. They didn't do their job, forcing people into spending money they don't have to defend themselves and clean up their credit.
Doctors office always want a SSN. Always.
the only explanation is that the lender is the one at the top of this scam. using the improvement co as a dummy.
Exactly! This is exactly where my thoughts were heading...
@@passthetunaporfavorI have never given a doctor’s office a SS#. It’s optional, they ask for it but can’t require it.
@@passthetunaporfavorno they don't. Next time any medical provider asking for your SSN, simply refuse, they will be fine. Just try it.
Hats off to you, *UniversalDispute* for your extraordinary devotion to fighting these bogus persons. The safety and well-being of the elderly and the larger community should be our main priority, and you have demonstrated unshakable dedication to defending them from these despicable con artists. You certainly deserve recognition for your excellent work!!!!

So many from tough harsh living conditions that suffer and you helping and giving them something that they desperately need just to survive. I thank God for wonderful people like you that are making the differences that truly matter most! God bless you Love from Greenville NC
Someone (probably many someones) at Good Leap was in on this. Too many fraud guardrails were overlooked in every instance, for this to be an accident.
Also, in mortgages nowadays, they mail a letter to the mailing addreas affiliated with the county assessor's office, as an additional fraud check. That less-than-$1 option could have saved them a LOT of money (and probably some prison time).
Hey *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* . I am just a simple dude from australia, but I want you to know how awesome it is what you did, and what you do. Love your work mate and God bless you for everything you do for people in the future. I was truly touched by this vid
If the homeowner didn't sign the loan documents thats fraud and the loan company suffers the loss not the homeowner. This is why notary requires id and thumb print. Don't let the loan company trick you into paying the loan for their mistake. Get a lawyer sue the contractor and loan company for triple damages.
Every destroyed scam office is a rescue for humanity, I really appreciate your work.
Thanks
they deserve everything that coming to them. What they do to innocent people is awful. Thank you so much for what you do. It clearly is getting to them and love to see it.
*VAULT GUARD EXPERT* .
This is the problem with electronic signatures.
I never understand why law allowed electronic signatures to accept. They wanted these kind of frauds n law suit to get layers to make more money? People who have average common sense can foresee this kind of problem will happen. Look like setting up for criminals to commit fraudulent crimes to get law enforcements keep busy. 🤷🏽♂️🤑
*VAULT GUARD EXPERT* this is SO GOOD!!! I have such disdain for people who lack empathy for hardworking individuals. I LOVE what you said- there's no room for hate, but that doesn't mean you have to like them either. I am SO GLAD you showed up just in time to return the funds to their account.
This is why I watch your videos, and I couldn't admire what you do more. Thank you for protecting innocent people. Thank you for reporting criminals.
Time to sue the lender, Deep South and Good Leap. I hope this report puts both all of business. Obviously NO ONE did things the right way, I worked as a mortgage processor and how these loans are getting through tells me these banks are in on it. Someone deserves jail time for this, but we all know it will never happen.
This guy does more to prevent and stop online scammers than the FBI. not only are you closing the way for scammers, but also educating the public and making them aware. Well done *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* .
Once upon a time it was known as organized crime.

Bless your heart *BanninkSolutions* . Its so sad how the scammers prey on the elderly and the uninformed public. Bless you and all others who fight against these crimes.Its horrible how mainstream media is not doing the right thing by shining light on these things to help the publiccc!!!

My husband and I was scammed twice last year, totaling losses over $550k. It was a lengthy process involving federal intervention to get our money back. We need more people like *BanninkSolutions* taking a stand against these criminals. Much love and support from California.
Your videos are very educational, I wish all the elderly saw it. Thank you very much for the time and effort you dedicated to it.
every minute you spend with them is one minute less than they lose stealing from an innocent victim. *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* enjoy the rest of your day and I look forward to the next video
Ill guarantee an employee in that lending dump is partnered up with someone in the construction company.
Companies need to do adequate due diligence.
Observation of the century right here.
They might have been in on the scam. Some scam circles actually have several people that orchestrate the scam. For instance, one person working at the SS administration, another at a bank, and a third at the Department of Motor vehicles.
Why? They are making a mint off the current paradigm, with no consequences.
If a bank or other lending institution gives out a bad loan, they should have to eat the cost.
This one is financially on the lender. This should have been caught with someone simply driving by to verify the work. Criminally, it is on the "contractor".
Mortgage companies have greedy sales people that don’t care about due diligence or ethics.
If anyone ever questions, the value of good journalism, show them this piece. Great work!
As a former mortgage loan officer, I can tell you that Solar Loans definitely need regulation.
Roses are red, violets are blue. I love *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* , and so do you.
The biggest Surprise each time you expose a scammer is how little remorse or self-reflection they show. It makes it very easy to dislike them even more and to support everything you throw at them
How can someone possibly even think for a second that there was due diligence when the SSN did not even match the home owners.
gracias por salvar y proteger a millones de estadounidenses de esta gente sin corazón, necesitamos más personas similares a ustedes, *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* Muchas gracias y todo lo que hacen
Great report on an important topic. Between contractor and deed fraud, I don't know how a homeowner can protect themselves these days. Perhaps you can delve into deed fraud as your next topic. Thanks for the investigative work and for all the hard work you put into your channel. Great job.
Freeze your credit she says…..hell they didn’t even use his correct SSN to get the scam loan.
Good eye. You are right. It seems like title companies could offer a type of protection at purchase to monitor against this kind of scam, especially bc the counties are trash at it. And that's a lot of work for homeowners.
You are doing a noble service to all people! I wish I was smart enough to help you. *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* I am a computer illiterate thank you for fighting against people who take advantage of vulnerable people like me
The banks need to be on the hook for these scams ..they need to send actual reps to the properties to talk with the property owners and confirm them as actually taking out the loans ..
That would involve work.
the man that contacted folks is a hero!
Good for them, for investigating and reporting!
This lender should be responsible for not following the proper procedures and I won't be surprised if they are part of this fraud.
GoodLeap should have to pay all of this gentleman's attorney fees. They are completely at fault. No way they can claim to be victims.
He is a hero! Glad we have people like this gentelman.
Why is the property owner liable for anything if the lender can't provide any accurate information or record of a credit check? That should immediately relieve the home owner of any responsibility.
loan company better think before taking this case into court.
This is gross negligence on the lender’s part. They should be sued. You almost wonder if something else is going on here….
So you get scammed and then have to come out of pocket to pay a lawyer to remove a fraudulent lien which may take months to remove?
Unbelievable…
My next step would be to sue the daylights out of the lender for negligence.
The work *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* is so honest the world essentials more individuals like you I fundamentally love the web recording you set up love hearing these scoundrels wriggle keep on doing glorious, uncommon hearted people the gutts to do this considering everything
These scammers are out here. Very sad for tbis family. Hope they can get their money back.🤔
Sounds like a scam where the lender is in on the scam too!!
Why is this guy responsible for a lender that did not do their identity check properly.
White collar crime, while law enforcement focuses on speeders going 60 in a 55 zone.....
Good investigative journalism. 👍🏼
If a financial institution gives a loan to a client with property that client doesn't own as collateral, it should be on the financial institution to collect against their client, not the property owner. Our laws favor criminals too heavily over victims and this must stop. No entity should be able to slap a lien on the property of others without an actual jury award for the damages sought. It is a basic principle of law that under no circumstances does one ever have the right to sell the property of another without permission of the actual property owner, or a court judgement for the amount owed. This must be forced into our legal system under all circumstances, with offenders forced to pay all legal expenses.
THAT IS WHAT I AM THINKING ALSO. FREEZE TITLE TRANSFER, UNTIL PROPER OWNER COME IN WITH FINGER PRINTS, EVEN DNA SAMPLE. THIS HAVE TO STOP. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO PAY RECORDER OFFICE EXXTRA FEE FOR THE SECURITY.
Thanks for covering this topic.
This will help people.
The first gentleman said his SSN wasn’t even used for his loan application. And why should this not be the responsibility of the lender who doesn’t even get a wet signature on its loan docs, and instead gets a fraudulent digital signature?
It concerns me that the first victim was able to find the “humor” in it. The sad fact is that if victims don’t have money to retain legal help, they’re going to lose.
I've seen a few stories similar to this, so I know there are many more that I haven't seen. The fact that something like this can happen this day and and age is wild, knowing how strenuous an approval process can be.
Lender need to compensate innocent owner’s time and legal cost.
Always lock your credit to protect yourself. Next, signup w/ a title lock co. If you are ever scammed, a good work-around is imm. filing a formal complaint with the FTC. When money is drafted w/o expressed permission - wire fraud was committed.
This is SICKENING so much SCAMMING All year round 😮😢
What a world we live in?
It seems like the lender is in on it.
Sue the lenders. If I take out a loan, send the money to me, not to some other person/company.
If they’re actually getting new social security numbers to match the homeowner’s name then someone at SSA is also involved. If they track all those SS numbers, something tells me they were all issued by the same worker. This scam has multiple players.
A lot of people have their SS posted on the dark web.
A friend of mine in West Virginia has lost his 200 yr old family homestead due to a contractor under similar conditions. My friend is 75 yrs old and now has no place to live.
Poor man!
Legal procedings are crappy and attorneys are expensive but it seems like the company should take the loss. It's not his fault or his bill. The only way these companies will learn is if they have to eat the mistake.
I love you guys! I think you're super heroes! kudos to you for doing what you do. *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* You may not be able to get them all, but you get enough to make it worthwhile. You save people! Thank you we need more people like you in this generation to stop these scams.
There's something wrong with this picture. Oh, I know! The homeowner should NOT be liable for this. The sooner courts figure this new scam out the better
15.99 percent interest, 45K loan, 67K interest, 112K total after 119 payments (ten years) at $934 per month. That's the real crime. GoodLeap? More like worst leap imaginable.
This is also a government due diligence issue; no entity should be able to randomly put a lien on a property without it being fully verified by all parties and proper real identities being certified. If you can’t use it to board an aircraft, you shouldn’t be able to use it for a real estate transaction.
THAT IS WHAT I AM THINKING ALSO. FREEZE TITLE TRANSFER, UNTIL PROPER OWNER COME IN WITH FINGER PRINTS, EVEN DNA SAMPLE. THIS HAVE TO STOP. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO PAY RECORDER OFFICE EXXTRA FEE FOR THE SECURITY. LETS GET PETITION FOR CONGRESS TO STOP THIS
Your content is awesome, and seeing someone who has 8.9k customers, and do something good for people who has less, makes *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* just feel so happy in side. I am glad someone like you could do something so kind for people who don't have as much.
The lender should be responsible for this fraud
there should be a one month wait time on all loans to make absolutely sure that everything is legitimate, including criminal background checks, with the person who's making the loan present at said meeting . yes it's a big hassle, but it's better than losing your house! scammers should get long prison terms.
