Attorney General Hails Guilty Plea In Predatory Lending Case, His Lawsuit Continuing

January 21, 2010

"I praise the hard work and dedication of federal law enforcement officials in obtaining a guilty plea from Jose I. Flores in the VMR Mortgage Company predatory lending scheme.

"My office last August sued Flores and others involved in the scam, which lured Hispanic consumers, many unable to speak English, into unaffordable mortgages. My office continues to vigorously and aggressively prosecute our legal action against Flores and others."
