Foreclosure consultants.

Existing law regulates foreclosure consultants and, in this regard, defines a foreclosure consultant as a person who performs, or who solicits, represents, or offers to perform, for compensation, specified activities, including the obtaining of forbearance from a beneficiary or mortgagee. Existing law provides that a foreclosure consultant who receives any fee before fully performing every service for which he or she has contracted is guilty of a misdemeanor. This bill would make nonsubstantive, technical changes to these provisions.
