Consent Order

On February 22, 2016, the Commissioner entered into a Consent Order with Intercap Lending Inc. (“Intercap”) (NMLS # 190465), Aliso Viejo, California.  The Commissioner alleged that Intercap changed the address of its main office specified on its most recent filing with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (“NMLS”) and failed to file such change with NMLS at least 30 calendar days prior to such change and, in connection with such address change, failed to provide, directly to the Commissioner, a bond rider or endorsement, or addendum, as applicable, to the surety bond on file with the Commissioner that reflects the address of the main office, in violation of Section 36a-490(b) of the Connecticut General Statutes.  As part of the Consent Order, Intercap paid $500 as a civil penalty.
