Nearly $750,000 coming for Mich. fraud victims

DETROIT (AP) - The Michigan attorney general's office says nearly $750,000 is being distributed to 36 southeastern Michigan victims of mortgage modification fraud. The payouts announced last Thursday by Attorney General Bill Schuette are from a state fund for foreclosure scam restitution. Schuette's office says individual reimbursements will range from $250 to $208,000. Schuette's office will send a letter to each victim notifying them of reimbursement. Those getting payments all sought mortgage modifications from Nationwide Consulting LLC. The Wayne County Clerk's office was to disburse checks starting last Thursday. -------- Online: http://www.michigan.gov/mortgagesettlement. Published: Mon, Nov 10, 2014
