Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna, someone we’ve often covered, has again come to the front of the consumer pack and accussed a company of wrongdoing.
McKenna says that United Home Savers, a Florida company, violated multiple Washington regulations and is now out of business. McKenna charged that the company and owners Stephanie and Darin Dietschy promoted a foreclosure assistance service that
can rescue homeowners from foreclosure. The company charged $1,200 or more up front and promised a refund if their services weren’t successful.
Instead, Washington Assistant Attorney General Jack Zurlini reported that the company did not help consumers and routine failed to refund those who complained. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is also investigating the company and others accused of preying on homeowners in danger of foreclosure.
As part of Blog Action Day earlier this week, Consumer Help Web documented a series of pages at the US Department of Housing and Urban Development that provide official federal advice on home mortgages and foreclosures.
