justiceforall Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) What legal recourse does a homeowner have against a Title Company who filed forged and changed documents after my closing. After 4 months of trying to obtain my closing docs from Texas American Title for my Tremont Tower Condo Unit, finally received them. Why the delay I ask? I found 2 forgeries of my signature in my closing docs. So much for Homeland Security. When you can forge someone's name on the Patriot Act Data Collection/ Real identity verification. My real signature is on the bottom...The spelled my last name with an "N", not an "M", etc. But not bad, wonder how many other times Texas American has forged a signature? What legal recourse do I have? Also, I found a huge variance from the filed HUD statement vs the one I received at closing. I have put two separate documents on top of each other. The set filed says Wilshire received $17,728.09. The set I received on closing 7/30/04 says Wilshire received only $9,200.00.

Zapata Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Seems like they forgot to fill out the "Patriot Act" form when you were signing the paperwork and they were too lazy to send you the form or calling you back to the Title Company.But never the less...forging someones signature in official/legal documents is a crime, In the second form "Settlement Charges" no idea why they change the amounts.Better check with that lawyer..!!

dbigtex56 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) I view justiceforall's post as a public service.That someone has the unmitigated gall to forge signatures, especially on forms one assumes to be notarized, seems nearly impossible unless an example is cited.Incidently, what's this "Patriot Act" crap? Thanks for posting that , too. No doubt other scammers are using this device to get people to let down their guards. when otherwise they might question unorthodox business practices.Edit: Incidently, Google "Patriot Act Data Collection" (in quotation marks) and see what you come up with. Uh...very few hits, and all of them seem pretty scammish - if that's a word. Again, thank you, justiceforall, for bringing this to the public's attention.

dbigtex56 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Does this have anything to do with a "mortgage loan agent"?Google that one, too. For such a resounding title, there's very little information to be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowbrow Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'm sure forging a signature is above and beyond but most closings do include a document (that you probably signed) that allows the title company to fix clerical errors found after the closing. No idea on how this impacts your legal situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalleriaToBL Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Not going to happen. The point of this post isn't to find an actual solution, it's to delicate flower and moan and hope someone feels sorry for her.Hey editor, what's with the unprovoked attack? Doesn't seem like good form for a moderator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
