Mortgage Default On Credit Report

Question: NC Mortgage/Deed Question?

I posted a similar question but left out some details so let me try again...I live in NC. My husband and I purchased a house after we married but my husband wanted it only in his name due to his credit being better than mine.

BUT the deed is in both of our names.

So, my name is not on the mortgage because my credit would have brought us down:( BUT now the marriage is not going well and he is threatening me that if he defaults I have to pay for it.

SO - right now his name is on the mortage - mine is not. Both names are on the deed.

Who is responsible for the mortgage? If he defaults on it am I responsible? Will it show up either good or bad on my credit report?

If someone can help me understand the legal ramifications I would greatly appreciate it. THANK YOU!!

Answer: I agree, that's messed up. He does the "family" a favor and you want to stick it to him and save your own hide. I hope you do the right thing and pay your half. Maybe you two should think about selling the home and going your separate ways.

Mortgage Fraud Lawsuits

Question: who is responsible for a fraudulent appraisal?

Our mortgage was approved based on a fraudulent appraisal. We signed the note believing we had 50 thousand in equity, now we find out that we actually owe more on the home than it is worth. Does anyone know of a lawsuit that has gone in favor of the homeowner in this circumstance? I believe the broker shoud be held responsible, as they are the ones that hired the appraiser, who, by the way, is not allowed to renew his license due to another case of fraud.
appraisal saying home is worth 185 thousand, new appraisal? 95 thousand, sorry I know the market is bad, but my house did not depreciate 90 thousand dollars., the comparable photos do not match the addresses, my home is 100 yrs old, the comparables say they are the same age, when upon my investigation, the homes are actually brand new. I signed these papers believing I had 50 thousand in equity, when in reality, I have $0.

Answer: Sue everybody in this order: The Appraisal company, the appraiser themselves, the Broker, and the Mortgage company. Go to your state's Attorney General's office and file a complaint for everyone of these entities. There appears to be so much fraud in your case that you need to pursue this.

Depending on your area, the value of your home may have dipped, even significantly, but not 90 k...

Good Luck...

Mortgage Fraud Resources

Question: Realtor/Mortgage lender fraud? PLEASE HELP!!?

I had a very bad experience with the mortgage lender and realtor. I believe I got screwed on my house. I'm young, and they knew it. I want to post my story but its too long. Anyways, this has been eating me up for so long, and now i'm ready to take action. Does anybody know of any resources where I can look up illegal/legal lender/realtor practices in TEXAS. I don't need the code of ethics. I need solid law. I'm about to lose my house and this gave me enough courage to move forward. I've googled and looked at so many places and can't find anything. Please help. I have no money or time for legal consultation right now. I'm very depressed. I work 2 ft jobs, have a baby, and cant pay my bills anymore. Please help me!!!

Answer: There is a huge difference between fraud being committed by a Lender or Realtor and a Buyer who didn't have a clue as to what they were doing getting in way over his or her head.

The fact that you are young has nothing to do with anything. There are plenty of young people who research what they are doing before they do it so that they don't enter into a deal that isn't in their best interests.

The Texas AG's Office has a Mortgage Fraud Task Force that you can contact if it indeed was fraud.

Here is a link to the Texas Office of The Consumer Credit Commissioner that lists what is considered predatory lending practice in Texas, along with the Texas Code that addresses the issue:

I hope you work things out. Good Luck.
