Allegation or issue being investigated: Violations of FSS 501 Part I and II arising from misleading and deceptive statements in advertising. Company offers foreclosure rescue services via mail solicitation and advertisement on their website. The website claims that the company can “stop” foreclosure, that consumers will not have to file bankruptcy, that they have been in business since 1985, that they are the nations must trusted foreclosure rescue firm, and that the company can improve a consumer’s credit score. The company also has a refund policy that guarantees that the company will refund 100% of the consumer’s fees if the company cannot negotiate a foreclosure alternative. Based on a complaint received from legislative sources, this company is not honoring the refund policy.
