One thing to remember is that this company is home based in Dallas Texas, and as such, the Texas State Attorney General would be, and is as of my phone discussion with the office, interested in the actions Homecommings Financial has perpetrated against numerous people throughout the country.
A person in the Attorney Generals office of Texas also told me that while they investigated and might possibly take them to court should they find cause, I could also seek restitution via civil court, something I sure plan to do one way or another. If you go to the TX atty gen office webpage at:

Under consumer protection, you will find an area for recent cases. Seems Texas, in conjunction with numerous other states entered into a a settlement in which Ameriquest is required to pay a total of $295,000, 000... Yes that is million... For unethical practices in mortgage lending. Some of these practices sited are eerily familiar to those of us who have been dealing with Homecommings Financial. I am in the process of sending the TX Atty. Gen. Office my complaint, in which I will provide them with this web address. But only one voice in Texas is not going to make a difference. We ALL need to report it to the TX Atty. Gen. Office so that they understand the scope of what this Texas based company is doing.
Even if you are not a resident of Texas, I would urge you to report Homecommings to the Texas Attorney Generals Office, because of Homecommings base of operations. Let the Attorney General of Texas KNOW what a company within their jurisdiction is doing to those who had the misfortune to either borrow from Homecommings or had their mortgages sold to Homecommings.
The representative of the TX Atty Gen office also told me that I needed to contact the Federal Trade Commission, and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) concerning the unethical and illegal practices of Homecommings financial.
The last thing I intend to do is provide some of my contacts in the News media with this web address and the stories herein. I would suggest that people also do the same in their local area. Try and contact the consumer protection advocate, most stations have one and the big 3 certainly do, and tell them your story. Point them to this website. NOTHING and I do mean NOTHING is worse for a company then bad press. IF enough of us report Homecommings Financial to our local and national news agencies as being ripped off by Homecommings, the media is bound to pick it up. This is the kind of thing those people drool over.
In closing, WE as a group of people who have been victimized by Homecommings have some power, we just have to realize where to use it.in this case, the media is our friend. It is up to ALL of us to insure that Homecommings is made responsible for what they have done to each and every one of us. It is obvious that no one of us is alone, now we all need to band together and show Homecommings that we will not take their abuse lying down!!
