OAKLAND — California Attorney General Rob Bonta has announced a significant settlement that requires HomeOptions to terminate all liens and contracts within the state. This decision comes after investigations revealed practices that were harmful to homeowners. As part of the settlement, HomeOptions must pay more than $570,000 in penalties and restitution to affected homeowners.
The Attorney General's office emphasized the importance of protecting consumers from unfair business practices. The settlement aims to provide relief to those who were impacted by HomeOptions' actions, ensuring that homeowners are not left vulnerable to exploitative agreements.
Bonta stated that the resolution serves as a reminder that the state will take action against companies that violate consumer rights. HomeOptions is now mandated to comply with the terms of the settlement, which includes ceasing all operations related to the disputed contracts and liens in California. This outcome reflects the ongoing commitment of the Attorney General's office to uphold fair practices in the housing market.
