Two people have been ordered to stop engaging in mortgage brokering by B.C.B次元官网网址檚 Registrar of Mortgage Brokers.

Earl Gary Lacharity and Jeanine Verle Ratcliffe are named as the two individuals who, according to the registrar Carolyn Rogers, took advance fees for mortgage financing, despite neither being registered brokers.

In late September, Saanich police issued a warning that similar activity was taking place in the region.

B次元官网网址淚t is contrary to Canadian law to ask someone to pay upfront fees to obtain financing,B次元官网网址� Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen said at the time. Officers were also looking to speak with more victims.

Last week, Jantzen commented on RogersB次元官网网址� order, saying: B次元官网网址淭hat does pertain to the same investigation (our detectives) are involved in.B次元官网网址�

He added that police have not released any names and wouldnB次元官网网址檛 confirm these two individuals are involved in their investigation.
