Indiana AG Files Suit Against Alleged Foreclosure Assistance Racket Accused Of Taking Over Financially Distressed Homes & Failing To Pay The Mortgage

In Noblesville, Indiana, WRTV-TV Channel 6 reports:

• The state has filed suit against a man in the wake of numerous complaints about foreclosure rescue programs. [...] Investigators said Daniel Shrader worked as an agent for at least 10 such companies, including Northstar Homes, Orion, Great Homes LLC, Prizm Partners, Regal Partners and the Oakbay Group, along with a website offering foreclosure help, indy-housebuyers.com.

• According to the complaint, Shrader and the companies took over homes but failed to pay the mortgage, and failed to follow state rules on providing services that would help people save their homes from foreclosure. [...] A Hamilton County judge on Friday ordered Shrader to a pay delinquent mortgage payment for one of his customers. He then had to be chased down by a state investigator waiting to serve him with a lawsuit seeking an injunction against his business practices.
