Attorney General Files Lawsuit Against Foreclosure Consulting Company

(Phoenix, AZ) -- Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced the filing of a consumer fraud lawsuit against Advantage Foreclosure LLC (Advantage) and its owners Matthew and Lynette Van Remoortel. Advantage is an Arizona based company that advertised on the internet site located at aboutmyforeclosure.com and purports to provide foreclosure consulting services nationwide. 

The lawsuit alleges that Advantage and Mr. Van Remoortel violated the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act by making misrepresentations to consumers, failing to disclose material information to consumers, failing to provide promised services after consumers paid for those services, and engaging in unfair acts and practices. Consumer complaints filed with the Attorney General’s Office brought the wrongful practices to light.

“I encourage the public to reach out to my office when they believe they have fallen victim to deceitful or unfair business acts or practices,” said Attorney General Mark Brnovich. “My office is committed to protecting all consumers from fraudulent and unfair business tactics.”
