    Many of these "foreclosure rescue" and "foreclosure bailout loan" programs are scams & are going on all over the country. Hopefully, these new laws will weed out the scam artists without unduly hindering the ethical people in the industry.

      For attorneys, you may be able to use your state's "equitable mortgage" doctrine to void or rescind a "foreclosure rescue" or "foreclosure bailout loan" transaction on behalf of the victimized homeowner. If successful, you may be able to then further attack the transaction by alleging violations of the Federal Truth in Lending Law & Home Ownership Equity & Protection Act of 1994, as well as your state consumer protection & usury law violations.
