A 26-year-old processor and loan officer said she was asked by the company owner to help out a woman who was in danger of losing her home to foreclosure. She is now pleading guilty to mortgage fraud-related charges for doing so.
Sierra Hethcote, an employee of Accel Mortgage, LLC agreed to say on her loan application that she earned $20,000 a month in order to secure two mortgages totaling $555,364 for the purchase of a home she never intended to live in or to pay on. She reportedly received at least $12,000 for her trouble.
