Oklahoma -Mortgage Fraud Resources

Historically, Oklahoma has not been among the states that are most affected by mortgage fraud. Since the collapse of the housing bubble, however, the state has seen many prosecutions for mortgage fraud and  convictions of the individuals held responsible.

A list of resources for consumers who may have been affected by mortgage fraud or who want to learn more about the issue is provided below. Among these, FBI field offices are responsible for investigating potential cases of fraud and work with the offices of the state and federal attorneys general to prosecute criminals.

Local offices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) can help mortgage applicants find the resources they need to make smart mortgage decisions.
The Oklahoma State Banking Department helps to set rules, investigate complaints and exercises enforcement/disciplinary authority over the businesses it oversees. The state Real Estate Commission and Appraiser Board have numerous sources of information on mortgage fraud  for consumers and can direct them to appropriate contacts for specific questions on mortgage fraud.

Finally, the Better Business Bureau sets guidelines by which businesses should operate and takes steps to ensure that consumers are treated fairly.
