Colorado just passed a law requiring mortgage lenders to register with the state and get a criminal background check because of episodes like the above. Up till January 2007 Colorado will have been one of only two states where mortgage professionals have not been regulated. As a result we've seen a lot of so called mortgage professionals go to jail in the last few years.
