State Suspends Aspen Financial Services, LLC Mortgage Broker License

Las Vegas, NV - April 24, 2013

Nevada Mortgage Lending Division Commissioner James Westrin yesterday served a Summary Suspension of License on Aspen Financial Services, LLC and Jeffrey B. Guinn.  The company has held a mortgage broker license in the state of Nevada since 1995.

 

A State review of the company’s books and records conducted in early April determined the company was insolvent and unable to continue in business.   The Commissioner determined that continued operation posed an imminent risk to public welfare and created an emergency situation which required immediate action on the part of the Division. 

 

The Summary Suspension prohibits Aspen Financial Services, LLC from originating new loans or engaging in any new activity. The order also outlines requirements for the orderly transfer of the existing loan portfolio to a qualified servicer and the return of REO property under management to owners or a qualified property manager within 60 days. 

 

“In the case of insolvency, the Division’s primary concern is to protect consumers from harm.” said Mortgage Lending Commissioner Jim Westrin.  “The Division will act swiftly in these cases and will implement an appropriate plan for the orderly cessation of the business.”

Homeowners or investors with questions or concerns are encouraged to call the Division at (702) 486-0782.
