"Corporate crime kills far more people and costs taxpayers far more money than street crime."

- Anita Roddick

When consumers are in financial stress they often turn to professionals for financial management help, unfortunately, unaware consumers can easily be taken advantage of by greedy professionals and corporations.

Financial lawyers seek to resolve financial fraud, harassment, and abuse. Legal guidance and lawsuits can involve bankruptcy help, credit card abuse and fraud, predatory lending, mortgage scams, creditor harassment, financial privacy and security rights, excessive interest rates, illegal or unauthorized fees, and deceptive business practices.

The Truth in Lending Act and the Consumer Credit Protection Act are federal regulations designed to protect consumer's financial rights in regards to credit reporting and loan processing practices.

Death of Owner and Decline in Housing Market Ruined Moving Business Apr-23-08. Sarasota, FL: In 2007, Davi and Valenti Movers saw their demise.

Lendingtree.com took my info and sold it to lead brokers, never supported their low rate claim.
Defendant: *LendingTree and Home Loan Center, Inc. (false advertising)
Approximately 2 weeks ago I saw their ad for 4.35% fixed 30 year mortgage. I clicked their icon to apply and filled out all of the information asked for. Since then I have received no less than 10 calls a day from everyone from mortagage brokers to tax help and credit repair people. It appears that this company sold and resold my name to many lead brokers and I never heard from Lendingtree concern..
