Perfect Title Clients Petition Attorney General Bronster

Last month, Ka Wai Ola o OHA reported that plaintiffs in a classaction suit were asking Perfect Title Company to pay them millions of dollars in damages allegedly lost because of their reliance on the company's advice not to pay their mortgages or property taxes. Recently, plaintiff Peter Riopta delivered to OHA the group's petition for assistance from the state's attomey general, Margery Bronster. In addition to maintaining they were duped by Perfect Title, the seven individuals imply that the state should have intervened earlier. They eomplain of the ethics, practices and fees of the attorneys representing the lenders. They allege they have found further defects in the title to their property. While the petition does not state how, plaintiffs clearly want Bronster to stop the foreclosures.
