Trace Financial Group Trace Financial Inc Mortgage Fraud Loan Fraud Tampa, Florida
Trace Financial Stole $3,500 from us.
We hired Mr. Bob O'Connor from an ad he placed late 2010 stating he could get people approved from a private lender for a home loan at a good rate, credit score did not matter, it was agood alternative for the self-employe, which I am. It would be a $3,500 up front financing fee, paid in cash in the form of a cashier's check. We did so and sent it to Bob. We should have known better.
We filled out the application and the Lender, Trace Financial Group, said we were approved. The ordered an appraisal done on the property and it came out good. I had to pay for the appraisal. They said they take 60 days to close. I ended up dealing with Ann Ursiny and Christopher Morrison from Trace Financial Group. 60 days came and went.
I received excuse after excuse and delay after delay. Some of the excuses were rediculous, they were delayed because of bad weather and the approval committe only meets once per month. Christopher Morrison would email me saying he was in Egypt and caught in the political turmoil, or he was in Russia and could not communicate easily. It was just plain silly.
The property we were trying to purchase was a foreclosure. The owning entity (a bank) was furious that it had not closed yet. The ended up charging me $50 per diem until it closed, plus I had put up a $2,500 earnest money deposit. I was pregnant and anxious to close. I wanted to set up my nursery. For months they dragged this on, kept telling me it was going to close for sure and getting me to incur more and more per diem fees. They said they would pay for half.
Finally the bank said no more extensions. A week after the final deadline Trace Financial actually had the audacity to tell me the wire had been sent. The title company never received it. We lost about $15k because of this whole ordeal. It pushed me into preterm labor. I was exhasted, depressed and panicked. Thankfully, my little preemie daughter survived and we are thankful for that.
I have several names and addresses for Trace Financial Group. I also contacted the appraisal company who said they had done HUNDREDS of appraisals for Trace and were recently contacted by the attorney general's office in Florida. Coester Appraisals has since stopped doing business with them. They are simply a scam to get your upfront fees. You will never get the loan and you will never get your money back. Ann Ursiny is a thief. PLEASE do not use them. Here is what I have:
Bob OConnor.

I recently was in contact with a woman from the Attorney General's office in Florida. She said that we were taken in a pre-payment loan scam. She also said that due the number of reports, Trace Financial and Ann Ursiny, among others, are now in the early stages of an investigation, but to please report back to her immediately if I received my refund. I course I have not. She also gave my FBI contacts and my case file number and was told to get in touch with them.
