WHY WE COLLECT THIS INFORMATION

The CLCREE intake form is designed to centralize your homeowner information so we can review and make the necessary recommendation concerning your predatory lending claim. The form has a number of questions that will give us a clearer understanding on how the mortgage transaction was originated and what real estate professionals were involved in your mortgage (s).

There is no fee to take part in this legal study. There is no guarantee of positive results in your favor.

At present, CLCREE is a non-profit organization with limited resources. You may benefit significantly by filling in as much of the information as possible on your form. The more information you provide, the better we can assist you. Also, the more information you provide, the greater we have available to prove that you may be a victim of predatory lending and track trends of others possibly “taken” by similar organizations and circumstances.

By filling out and submitting this form, you are giving CLCREE permission to evaluate this information and contact you concerning alleged predatory lending practices. Your completed form will be shared with law firms working in tandem with the CLCREE as well as state and federal organizations to initiate legal action depending upon the findings by CLCREE.

The more information we receive, the easier it is to gain interest in your case through funding and legal support.
