, A report released today by the
Department of Banking, "Losing the American Dream: A Report on Residential
Mortgage Foreclosures and Abusive Lending Practices in Pennsylvania," confirms
a high foreclosure rate in Pennsylvania and finds that "subprime" mortgages
represent the majority of loans that result in foreclosure action. In particular,
The Coalition for Responsible Lending including the Pittsburgh Community
Reinvestment Group, ACORN, Community Legal Services and the Community Action
Committee of the Lehigh Valley, along with the Mortgage Bankers Association,
the Association of Mortgage Brokers and the Pennsylvania Bankers Association,
among others that shared their insights.
The complaint alleges that defendants were aware of but concealed from the
investing public during the Class Period, were as follows: (i) the Company's
storefront software was defective; (ii) iMergent was extorting from its
customers thousands of dollars in additional fees for technical support,
characterized as "executive mentoring," above and beyond what customers
contracted to pay as part of their service packages when they purchased the
storefront software; (iii) since at least 2000, numerous customers had lodged
complaints with various state agencies concerning defects with the storefront
software and the exorbitant "executive mentoring" fees charged; (iv) the
Company's storefront software and service packages were being illegally
marketed as "franchises " or "business opportunities" because iMergent was not
registered to engage in this type of business in the states in which it was
operating and was not following the statutes applicable to companies that
market franchises and business opportunities in those states; (v) the Company
was extending credit to customers with subprime credit without disclosing that
the Company did not require these customers to meet the Company's credit
criteria; (vi) the Company was entering into installment sale contracts for
defective storefront software packages, with the knowledge that the defects in
the software, the difficulty of its use, and the refusal of some customers to
purchase so-called "executive mentoring" (needed to operate the software)
would lead to higher customer dissatisfaction, product rejections, refusals to
pay for product packages being financed by the Company, and complaints to and
legal action by federal and state authorities; and (vii) defendants had
concealed that iMergent had been subjected to a lawsuit and a cease and desist
order by the State of Washington in early 2004 concerning misconduct similar
to that alleged by the State of Texas in its February 2005 lawsuit .
