Injunction Sought Against Mortgage Broker and 18 Others
BOSTON - A proactive Attorney General has recently sought an injunction against 19 defendants involved in a foreclosure rescue scheme that included Leo Desire, Sr. a salesperson employed by Primary Mortgage Resource, Inc., a licensed mortgage Broker, three closing attorneys, Robin Hayes a real estate broker, and 14 others. The scheme was designed to allegedly strip any remaining equity in homes already facing a foreclosure action. "These defendants, many of whom were professionals, preyed on vulnerable homeowners facing foreclosure to deceive them out of their home and their life savings," Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley said. "With the number of foreclosures increasing daily, this type of mortgage fraud is particularly troubling and we will take aggressive action to ensure that this predatory conduct does not continue in Massachusetts." The first of the two lawsuits filed alleges a foreclosure rescue scheme. The suit was filed against the following 19 defendants: Leo Desire, Sr., a salesperson who works on behalf of Primary Mortgage Resource, Inc.
Top lenders pull fixed mortgage deals
Lenders continue to withdraw their best fixed rate deals, in expectation of a near certain rise in bank base rate to 5.5 per cent in May. Borrowers wanting to secure one of Halifax's current fixed rate deals had better get their skates on. The bank is pulling its 4.99 per cent two year fix by end of business tomorrow (23 April). Northern Rock, meanwhile, is increasing its entire range of fixed rate by 0.2 per cent, with effect from Monday 30 April. Katie Tucker of John Charcol mortgage broker says these moves make Abbey's 5.14 per cent two year fix to 2 August 2009, one of the best fixed deals on the market now. The Abbey mortgage comes with a £999 arrangement fee and an early repayment charge of 35 days' interest and the repayment of benefits, such as free legals and free valuation, which are available for remortgages only.

Dan Banda: Immigration is bringing change, and that's OK
Without understating the importance of the Mexican undocumented worker issue, it is only the tip of the iceberg. According to data to be explored May 10 at the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) Migration and Integration Conference, 180 million to 200 million migrant workers are moving from country to country in search of opportunity. If you follow the migrant worker trail, you'll find a universal language. From employers, we hear the immigrant workers (documented and undocumented) "do the work the native population won't do" and "they are reliable and excellent workers." From the protectionists and the fearful we hear how the culture and laws of the host country are being degraded and destroyed by the immigrant worker. This is the same language you find throughout history and elsewhere today.
