The Federal Trade Commission has obtained a court order barring the owners of several Florida companies that operated under the guise of being law firms from offering mortgage loan modification and debt relief services. The ban signed by U.S. District Court Judge Marcia Morales Howard resolves Federal Trade Commission charges that the three men – Edward Rennick 3rd, Michael Lanier and Rogelio “Roger” Robles – falsely told homeowners in financial distress that they would provide legal representation to prevent foreclosure or lower loan payments.
