Senior Citizens Financially Abused by Reverse Mortgage Companies
There is a growing number of Home Owners , states attorney generals and the AARP (See Case#2:18-cv-07299) pursuing legal actions against Reverse Mortgage Lenders and Servicers. Some examples would be class action lawsuits as well as a long list of individual civil suits filed against the reverse mortgage industry across the United States. These lawsuits are the result of the many complaints about wide spread abuse committed against senior citizens by reverse mortgage lenders and servicers. If you or someone you know currently has or has had a reverse mortgage than this information may be extremely important to review.
When reverse mortgages first came out, seniors were told that getting one was a yellow brick road to a risk free retirement. Elderly homeowners were promised this amazing dream by slick ads and greedy, unscrupulous sales people. Seniors were enticed by the dream of living payment free or getting cash from their equity no monthly payment. For many senior citizens this promised dream quickly turned into a nightmare when a deadline for paperwork was not met, or a tax and/or insurance payment were allegedly missed. As a result, the senior’s homes were turned into a house of horrors by aggressive lenders moving fast to take the property by foreclosure for simple technicality. This is wrong, if not legally, then morally.
