Foreclosure Rescue Transactions Banned

A new regulation from Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, 940 CMR 25, "prohibits predatory, for-profit foreclosure rescue transactions," according to a press release issued earlier this week. "The new regulation also makes it an unfair or deceptive act to market foreclosure-related services without a precise description of how the promoter will assist persons in avoiding or delaying foreclosure."
