Question

So I just came back from a closing and the borrowers brother was there and was telling me a situation that happened to him. Now I am not looking for legal answers he just got me thinking.

He got a divorce and his wife apperently got a loan modified which she was not on. She signed his name on a paper. However he knew nothing about any of this so who even knows how it got done, Now I know that it is fraud but he was saying that it is breach of contract and now is is trying to get the "loan" off of his credit and get the money back that he has paid since it was modified. He no longer has the property it was repod (it was a doublewide). Anyway anyone have any input?

None of us has any input that matters because none of us, including you, has the "real" facts. In a divorce situation, one side of the story is never the 'real' story.

I actually would have brushed the brother off and shut him up almost immediately. I am not paid to be his counsel. I guarantee he tells this 'story' to almost everyone he meets ... rather than pay a lawyer to straighten it out and give him 'real' advice.

Worked in a law office, although I refused to work the family law clients, for decades. The 'story' is never the same.

I know that those probably where not all the facts I was just wondering for myself. It just got me wondering. No other reason.

Yeah, this is why I won't use credible witnesses on real estate transactions. If someone gets desperate and starts looking for loopholes to get out of a loan, I don't want to be involved.

And if this guy thinks he's gonna get a refund and a defaulted loan off his credit this way, he's crazy.

Re: Tell him to talk to a lawyer and stay out of it!

IMHO he should talk to the police! Sounds like a crime to me! Friend had a recent situation ... nothing can be done without a police report/arrest.
