Mortgage Borrower Private Advocates MBPA

Ask yourself:

Are you a mortgage borrower that feels like you have no other options and needs a second opinion?

Is your current lender refusing to renew your mortgage and you don't understand why?

Do you feel that your mortgage broker failed to represent you, or failed to fully explain to you the nature of his or her relationship with you?

Do you feel that you were not disclosed all aspects of your mortgage file and because of this, you now find yourself in a bad situation?

Did your mortgage broker fail to provide you with a necessary and sufficient duty of care ?

Did your mortgage broker put you into a wrong mortgage for your situation, or, put you into a short term mortgage knowing full well (or reasonably, should have known) that you would not be able to repay the mortgage at maturity?

Are you at a stage where you may be placed into foreclosure?

Do you feel that you may have been treated unfairly, negligently or worse?

If you said yes to any of the above questions, then you may have been subject to a predatory broker, lender, banker and need the help of a Mortgage Borrower Private Advocate MBPA.
