People’s Home Loan for Dana Capital junk fax from “Mortgage Services”
This fax got my attention:
The header states that it is from “Mortgage Services” at 312-264-4490 and I have a bunch of these faxes with that number from last year. When I called they identified themselves as “Mortgage Services” and I thought they were the mortgage company.
By the time I figured out that they were most likely just a call center, the toll-free numbers weren’t working in my area anymore and I couldn’t ID the mortgage companies. I finally sent my complaint to the DRE.
So I called and got to a So Cal call center and I was transferred to People’s Home Loans.
“As usually”, I was told that California loans are originated by them and out of state loans go to Dana Capital.
Dana Capital just doesn’t quit. It seems like they have a lead generation agreement with every scummy mortgage broker in California.
The junk fax, my research and my fax to People’s Home Loan
I called Michael Aviles, the office manager and asked who gets the leads for them. He asked me what the number on the fax was, I gave him the 800-513-7420, he told me that I need to call them. Oh so clever— NOT! They are obviously aware that the faxes are illegal, Michael Aviles admitted that he is involved in the lead generation. When I asked him for his fax number he hung up on me.
Am I going to be suing every broker in Southern California? It sure looks like it.
I just sent them this fax/e-mail and I don’t expect to hear from them.

Re: Notice of illegal marketing in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
I just spoke with Michael Aviles who declined to provide me with the name of the company providing you with the illegal leads and when I asked for your fax number he hung up on me. Because I don’t appreciate your obviously KNOWINGLY and WILLFULLY sending of illegal junk faxes, I will be seeking statutory treble damages from your company, Michael Aviles and any other person(s) who are involved with the purchase of illegally obtained leads.
For more information on junk faxes please read:
“Junk Fax Law - the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991” can be viewed on the internet at http://www.keytlaw.com/faxes/junkfaxlaw.htm. This article contains links to the complete statute, the federal regulations interpreting the Act, several junk fax articles and articles on a class action lawsuit called “Nicholson v. Hooters of Augusta, Inc.,” (Richmond County, Georgia, Superior Court case number 95-RCCV-616). Hooters hired a fax service that sent six unsolicited junk faxes to each of 1,321 fax numbers. In April of 2001, the court ordered Hooters to pay treble damages of $11,889,000.
If you wish to settle this matter, please contact me.
I am currently litigating against a number of mortgage companies as published at http://junkfaxsuit.info/, I publicize my litigation in press releases such as “Mortgage Banker Dana Capital Group Named in Junk Fax Lawsuit” at http://prweb.com/releases/2004/12/prweb192051.htm and I file complaints with the Department of Real Estate and other regulators.
Very truly yours,
Christine Baker
