How to Report Mortgage Fraud and Other Mismanagement to HUD
Anyone can report mortgage fraud, waste, or gross mismanagement of operations at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Office of Investigation (OIG) handles law enforcement at HUD and is responsible for looking into these issues. If you suspect fraud or mismanagement, you can report it confidentially if desired.
Reporting Process: You can report fraud via telephone or an online form. The more detailed the report, the better. Key information to include in your report includes:
-
The amount of money involved.
-
A summary or description of the alleged fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement.
-
How you became aware of the incident.
-
The duration of the alleged fraud.
