Dallas Mortgage Fraud Lawyer

Fort Worth Stated Income Defense Attorney

There's plenty of blame to go around when it comes to the charges of mortgage fraud. When a homebuyer is investigated for defaulting on a loan and the bank reviews the loan application before foreclosure and finds the buyers' stated income to be inaccurate, the buyer often blames the broker.

• "I never said I made that much money."
• "That's what the broker told me to say."

True or not, this is what buyers say to cast the blame for a loan gone wrong onto the broker. Sometimes the broker was the person filling out the application in the absence of the buyer. Without having documentation, they took the buyer's word that the income was what they stated.
