About Mortgage Compliance Investigations (MCI)
Since 2014, Mortgage Compliance Investigations (MCI) has empowered homeowners with the knowledge and tools to protect their property rights. Our investigations expose unlawful claims and clarify the true ownership of your mortgage loan.
Over the past two decades, mortgage industry practices have changed significantly, particularly with the rise of mortgage securitization and home equity lines of credit. Banks, often in collaboration with Wall Street, developed complex financial vehicles built around the promissory notes signed by homeowners. These instruments, commonly known as Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS), are converted into certificates, underwritten by investment groups, and sold to large investment portfolios.
From 1996 through 2009, this practice was especially widespread—frequently carried out without proper regard for the legal requirements of such transfers and conversions, and without acknowledgment of the long-term consequences for homeowners.
