What Is Mortgage Fraud?

colorful letters that make word fraud

Mortgage fraud is a serious and widespread crime that’s easier to be charged with than you may realize.

Once you understand what mortgage fraud is, you can stay far away from it or get professional help if you are facing potential fraud charges.

Two Kinds of Mortgage Fraud

Mortgage fraud comes in two main categories:

  • Fraud for housing
  • Fraud for profit

Fraud for housing involves deception to obtain a home loan despite not truly qualifying for it. Some people bribe others with good credit to apply for the loan for them. Others lie about their income. Investors may be tempted to lie about their intentions for a property in order to get a cheaper loan.

The other kind of fraud typically involves cooperation with individuals on the inside of the industry. For example, someone could appraise a house and claim it’s worth far more than its market value so that the buyer gets a larger-than-necessary loan and then they split the extra cash.

Experienced Help Fighting Mortgage Fraud Charges

Even unwitting victims of mortgage fraud schemes have gotten caught up in the actions of others. You might have just co-signed for something without even realizing any fraud was involved. Perhaps you were just looking for some financial help in a time of hardship and wound up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Mortgage fraud carries serious legal repercussions and can even cost you financially if you’re compelled to pay restitution to the victims.

Whatever the case, you can count on Jeff Manciagli to help you reduce or drop the charges completely.

    Client

    Mr. Manciagli has lived and traveled all over the world, including Latin America, and his legal work has taken him to Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, and Jamaica. It was important for me, as a foreigner in the U.S., to have an attorney who understood me from a cultural level and who I could speak to in Spanish. If you or a loved one needs a criminal defense attorney, Jeff Manciagli is the attorney you should call.

    N.C.

    My lawyer in FL recommended Jeff when I got arrested in GA and didn't know what to do. I got pulled over in a cash-cow speed trap town 20 miles above the state line and they called a K-9 unit and got probable cause to search my car. I was livid and felt so violated. Luckily I hired the best of the best. Jeff always called/emailed me back promptly when I had questions about my case, and Always spoke to me as an equal. He took care of everything and when it came time to go to court was honest and logical in discussing what was best and how my plea would affect my future. Under his council I felt calm and in control. I was facing 3 misdemeanor charges and got them all dropped on the condition that I do a small amount of community service, pay a fine, and don't get in any more trouble for a few months. I didn't even get points on my license for the original speeding ticket. At the end of the day, money is replaceable- my time and freedom are not. If I or anyone I know ever has trouble in GA again, I will be calling Jeff.
