Financial Investigations/Asset Discovery

The crises in the savings and loan industry created a need for asset searches.  Ferguson Investigations & Security Consultants, Inc. has conducted investigations for FADA, FSLIC, FDIC and RTC, as well as numerous financial institutions.  These are done to verify the current financial condition of a loan guarantor on loans in default or new loans being considered.  We offer a range of searches to meet client needs from simple to extremely complex.  They are designed to provide background information and identify business ownership, assets such as real property, motor vehicles, boats and aircraft.  We also look for assets that have been transferred or disguised.  Liabilities are also discovered, such as bankruptcy, tax liens, judgments, and pending lawsuits that could adversely impact a financial condition. 

As certified fraud examiners with FBI training and experience, we are uniquely qualified to investigate embezzlement, civil and criminal fraud and other white-collar crime.  We can interface and coordinate with management, legal, accounting and law enforcement to resolve complicated matters.

Real Estate/Mortgage Lending Investigations

In 1982, when the downturn in the Texas real estate market began to affect property values, Ferguson Investigations & Security Consultants began to investigate fraud and misrepresentation for mortgage insurance companies.  Since that time we have developed an investigative approach that has been highly effective in discovering and documenting fraudulent activities.  This has resulted in substantial monetary savings for our clients.

An extensive computer database has been developed which enables our investigators to research past cases for common names or elements, such as banking relationships, employee information, undisclosed debt obligation and other related information.  This is especially helpful when dealing with complicated conspiracies.

While the Texas economy has recovered, we are offering lenders and mortgage insurance companies the opportunity to avoid fraudulent or questionable loans by performing pre-loan, due diligence investigations quickly and inexpensively.
