Mortgage firm's penalties upheld
The state Department of Financial Institutions has sustained an order that a California mortgage firm pay a nearly $500,000 fine and return more than $700,000 to 120 consumers in Washington who obtained loans through the company's Bellevue office several years ago.
The affirmed ruling also bans the owner of Orange, Calif.-based Nationscapital Mortgage Corp., Jamie Chisick, from acting as a mortgage broker in Washington state for 20 years. Other top officers in the company are banned from doing business in Washington for five years.
Those sanctions were meted out a year ago this month by an administrative law judge.
Ordinarily, the Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) reviews determinations before they become final. But after Chisick argued that it should be disqualified, the agency agreed to a review by Spokane lawyer Dennis Dellwo. He sustained the sanctions about a week ago, DFI spokesman Stanley Bernstein said yesterday.
The litigation might not be over. Nationscapital has 30 days to go to court, and it could seek to block the sanctions while the case is on appeal. Nationscapital's attorney, Gary Roberts, of Portland, did not respond to calls yesterday.
Bernstein said Nationscapital operated in Washington for about three years, until mid-1998, when it surrendered its license after learning it was being charged with violations of state law — specifically, that it engaged in bait-and-switch practices and failed to make important disclosures to consumers.
"Consumers were definitely harmed," Bernstein said, "mostly in terms of believing they had a fixed-rate mortgage, but they ended up with an ARM (adjustable rate mortgage), and paying more in costs."
