Petition to the Honorable Commissioners of Collier County
This is a request to be heard at the next meeting of the Commissioners
The undersigned, citizens and residents of Collier County and South West Florida
asked the Collier County Commission for a RESOLUTION supporting an FBI
investigation into Fraud allegations and deceptive promises to persuade senior citizens
to purchase this dirty product. Aimed at dispossession of their property, taking
advantage in some cases of language, in others of deficiencies in health. Even knowing
English there are so many pages of legal documents that are not easy to understand,
only for those with knowledge about the subject, it involves dozens of documents in
English that make up the contract and that are generally signed without even knowing
what is being signed; of this they take advantage to create conditions to take away your
property, with deceptive offers and a siege of calls, with wonderful offers, that we could
call "bullying friendly" of the commercial product sale called Reverse Mortgage, a real
dream, to be true, according to the sales offers (see our 3 exhibits and allow us to
explain them) and then with those deceptions wake up to a horrible nightmare.
Honorable Commissioners do not want you to take a side in this situation, which we ask
that as top leaders of our area, as you are, we ask you not to be untouched by the pain,
the robbery to the illegal and illegal eviction of the most unprotected of our community,
the elderly people. We ask on behalf of these elders not to be unaware of this pain in
the face of Fraud and Injustice, of many, in this situation, of the "Wonderful REVERSE
MORTGAGE."
We only ask for support for an investigation, we will help demonstrate it.
