National Foreclosure Counseling Services Corp.

An investigation conducted by members of the Attorney General’s Economic Crimes Division, working as part of the Attorney General’s Mortgage Fraud Task Force, determined National Foreclosure Counseling Services, Corp allegedly lured customers using mailings which implied the solicitations came from a government agency, claimed the consumers had been selected for special programs by “Government Insured Institutions,” and stated the mailings constituted a last attempt to assist the homeowners before foreclosure.

Before accepting a homeowner as a client, National Foreclosure Counseling Services Corp., would allegedly require the consumer to sign a “working agreement” which included an up-front “retainer fee” averaging $1,800, an up-front “processing fee” of $200, and an hourly fee of $125 for future services. The lawsuit further states that the company failed to perform the services following payment. National Foreclosure Counseling Services, Corp. offers services nationwide and has already been sued by the Attorneys General of Illinois and Minnesota.

Consumers who wish to file a complaint about the company may do so by filing an affidavit with the Attorney General’s Office. The affidavit form with instructions is provided below.
