Mortgage Consumer Advocates Inc., a Houston-based nonprofit organization, has unveiled a mortgage consumer advocacy website aimed at educating consumers on the mortgage industry and home loan finance. The website, MortgageChampions.org, will help borrowers evaluate major loan products by offering a list of pros and cons and qualifying guidelines for each product, MCA said. The group also offers the MCA Consumer Protection Plan, under which consumers supply MCA with their initial loan disclosure documents for review by a representative to check for signs of fraud or "gross overcharging," MCA said. The new website can be found at http://www.mortgagechampions.org.
