<description>I'm being scammed on a $48,000 mortgage with a $160/mo PMI because, according to my lender, I'm a single female with no male co-signer and my credit score was below 750 at the time of signing (in 2003). Having worked in the mortgage industry for 5 years I knew this was all bogus. The lender then told me they would sue me for fraud if I attempted to refinance the mortgage at any time before the 20 year deadline and start foreclosing on the house if they even found out I would sue them or try to refinance.

This bill had better help!!!...</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;H.R. 3017 would authorize additional appropriations for the Federal Bureau of Investigation to enhance its ability to more effectively stop mortgage fraud.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;h2 id=&quot;toc0&quot;&gt; Detailed Summary &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stop Mortgage Fraud Act - Authorizes appropriations to the Department of Justice for FY2008-FY2012 for: (1) the employment of 30 additional agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and two additional prosecutors to coordinate prosecution of mortgage fraud cases with the offices of the U.S. Attorneys; and (2) the operations of the FBI interagency task forces in the areas with the 15 highest concentrations of mortgage fraud.&lt;/p&gt;
