LAS VEGAS — One of two accused home loan robo-signers faced a judge for the first time Wednesday. Former loan title officer Gerri Shepperd pleaded not guilty to more than 600 counts of fraud.
The Nevada Attorney General’s Office charged Shepperd with paying notaries to forge signatures on home loans to speed up the foreclosure process. The AG says this fraud affects tens of thousands of Nevada home loans.
Three notaries who once worked for Fidelity National Title and Lender Processing Services in Las Vegas are cooperating with the investigation. Prosecutors say they can use more help from the public.
“We encourage them to call and file a complaint with our office. And I can’t say enough; we urge employees, if you’re working for a company or you have worked for a company, and you’re aware that this type of activity was going on or is going on, please come forward,” said Chief Deputy Attorney General John Kelleher.
