The FTC filed a complaint against National Amendment Assistance and related entities for allegedly deceiving homeowners into paying unlawful upfront fees for mortgage relief services falsely associated with the CARES Act. The court granted a temporary restraining order, and the FTC seeks redress for affected consumers.
The court entered a temporary restraining order against the defendants. The FTC seeks redress for affected consumers, including monetary relief and an injunction against further deceptive practices.
In-house legal teams should review vendor agreements with mortgage assistance service providers to ensure compliance with the MARS Rule, particularly clauses prohibiting upfront fees before a written agreement is executed. Customer contracts should include clear consent mechanisms and disclosures about government affiliations. Additionally, data sharing agreements with financial institutions must comply with the GLB Act to prevent unauthorized use of customer information.
