County Clerk Bullard announces new tool to fight property fraud
Last week, Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds Bill Bullard Jr. announced that the Property Fraud Alert System is fully operational at the Oakland County Register of Deeds website.
"Our Property Fraud Alert System will empower property owners to protect themselves from improper filings against their property from mortgage fraud, to improper foreclosure, to frivolous liens," Bullard said. "Timely knowledge is the most important tool we can give someone so that they can take the proper action early in the process before they get mired down in red tape and the system."
The Property Fraud Alert System is a way for Oakland County residents and business owners to protect themselves and their property against fraudulent claims against them. People can sign up at the Oakland County Register of Deeds website, http://www.oakgov.com/clerkrod to receive an email whenever the county office records anything regarding their name or business name. These transactions range from property deeds, to liens against the property, from new mortgages, to foreclosures.
Anyone wanting to take advantage of the service should go to the Clerk's website, http://www.oakgov.com/clerkrod, select Register of Deeds, then click on the green button labeled Property Fraud Alert Service and follow the prompts and simple instructions to register for the alerts.
