Ameriquest Mortgage Company Aka AMC Foreclosed on with no warning Orange California
In August of 2003 I was forced to refinanced my home with Ameriquest. They charged me $11,000 in fees and 9.85% interest. They stated my loan would be a fixed rate and when we closed, it was not. They promised to refinance us with a better rate after three months and failed to do so when we confronted them about it.
We were forced into bankruptcy due to a con artist with a felony record and now Ameriquest wants our home. They started foreclosure with no warning to us and failed to adhere to ANY arrangements they made with us. All individuals I have personally spoken with have been rude, insensitive and unprofessional.
The office we closed our loan in was shut down due to fraudulent activity 2-3 weeks after our loan closed. We are now stuck with $3,000 in attorneys fees, foreclosure costs and owe them $7,000 by 3/31/05 or they will be taking our home of 18-1/2 years away from us.
Ameriquest professes to be able to "pay off high interest credit cards" and "get cash for whatever you need"??? Well sure, if you want another outrageous interest rate loan to do it with.
Please STOP this crazy outfit from causing any further devastation to other consumers the way they have to us. We feel financially RAPED by Ameriquest and no on else on earth should ever feel this way about a company that claims to want to help consumers in trouble. Their television advertising is the biggest joke ever written.

Sounds like the two of you who say you are in FC due to fraud need to contact a damned good attorney and get a court injunction to block the sale until an investigation is done. Get on the stick now...no dilly-dallying around...this is your HOME!!! And whether or not you are disabled, or otherwise can't make your payment on time...that's YOUR problem...you need to approach this as a criminally fruadulent company who intentionally put you into a mortgage you couldn't afford. Get your attorney...beg, borrow or steal to get the money to do it...most have an initial consultation for free...so get to it.

Call banking commission, congressman, and attorney

You should, in this order...1. call the banking commission of your state and lodge a complaint. 2. Call your local district congressman. They have field offices with case-workers to help you out. I know this since my mother was one of those case-workers in her day. They can do some pretty amazing things...and with a congressman's signature on things, people move quickly. 3. Get an attorney who is good with mortgage companies and real estate matters. You can sue both criminally and civilly from what it seems to me. If the loan officer committed fraud, or the company knowingly had a convicted felon working for them, you may win your case easily. An attorney can supoena documents and have the files pulled for review to see if there were any fraudulent activities, false or misleading disclosures, or no disclosures at all...which I be there weren't. There are laws about mortgages such as RESPA that AQ routinely fails to follow...show this website to your attorney for support of your cause. In the meantime, you could file chapter 13 to save your home...and then sue Ameriquest for damages, including puntitive damages. If you are diligent, and follow this, you will win and keep your home. If not...the streets are pretty cold and hard....so I would do this now and quit procrastinating like most people in your situation do. It's not over...don't let these skanks win and defeat you. I work for a reputable lender and see AQ rip off people every day. Their office may have been shut down, but your loan file (with your signatures and all) is still in AQ's hands somewhere. Your attorney will find it.
