You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

I am not sure that the State Attorney's office will prosecute. They like to hide and claim that this kind of matter is civil and not criminal.

There are lawyers who are now prosecuting mortgage brokers and firms for fraudulent lending practices. I know of several in South Florida and there are probably several in your part of the state too. You should consult one and see what they advise to do.
