Every day you hear something about the Bigger Companies being compromised on their data. Reporter delawares new Data Destruction law tells delawarebased companies with delaware customers they now have to go the extra mile to guarantee customer information is destroyed when its no longer needed.

Its going to take some time to see if the law is effective, but everyone seems to agree its a good idea. The criminals work 24 hours a day.

Some customers lost tens of thousands of dollars trying to build their dream homes with the build builder. Our colleagues in washington d. C. Explain what their Toll Brothers investigation uncovered. Reporter this is where Edward Singleton pictured himself living a custom home in lowden county built from the ground up. Roughly 4 bedrooms 3 1 2 bath with wood floors in the kitchen. Reporter working as a special education teacher, edward says he saved for a decade for the nearly 20,000 down payment he made on this home. My vision was a new home. Maintenance free. Reporter but four years later, edward is still living in his old house with a broken furnace and no airconditioning fighting to get his life savings back. It doesnt make any sense. Reporter tasha brown, a Real Estate Agent living with three kids and grandchildren says she, too, lost her entire down payment when she tried to build a custom home in prince georges county. That 52,000 could have put my daughter through college. Reporter both signed contracts with Toll Brothers which lists itself on its website as americas leading builder of luxury homes. Federal mortgage data shows it sells more homes here in the d. C. , maryland, virginia region than anywhere else. It also owns its own mortgage company, tbi mortgage. Edward and tasha say they could have used another lender but decided to go with tbi because they were promised free upgrades. If you do not take their Mortgage Lender you lose all the goodies. So you lose the chefs kitchen, you lose the finished basement you lose whatever theyre offering in closing. Reporter but after signing contracts, tasha and edward were told they didnt qualify for their original financing offer. Instead, they say they were offered loans they couldnt afford or no loan at all. Meaning they lost their dream home and their down payment. I was told that my debttoincome ratio was too high. After you had signed the check . After. Reporter edward and tasha say they were never preapproved for a loan and the news 4 iteam found theyre not alone. According to federal mortgage data tbi never preapproved a loan in the last five years. But the companys Financial Statements show it reported more than 125 million in revenue since 2006 by seizing down payments from canceled contracts. A classaction lawsuit against the company even alleges Toll Brothers made more money canceling contracts than selling houses after the Housing Market collapsed. In a statement, Toll Brothers tells us in each of these instances we retained the original buyers deposit to mitigate the actual losses we incurred but only after many attempts to work with those buyers to save their deals. Ultimately, the retained deposits were not enough to cover those losses. And reported revenue where gross amounts that do not reflect the losses the Company Actually sustained. Toll has a mortgage contingency clause that is really different. Reporter he is a real estate lawyer who teaches other attorneys on how to protect clients from losing down payments. He says Toll Brothers has one of the most confusing contracts in the business. When i have a buyer thats buying a Toll Brothers home i spend about an hour explaining paragraph 4. Reporter he says many of his clients mistakenly think it says if something goes wrong with their loan they can get their down payment back but in reality, he says the contract allows Toll Brothers to seize the down payment even if it changes the terms of the tbi loan. If you look at the toll cases, theyre all people who have saved money and are trying to invest that money in a home. These are all really responsible people. Reporter in its statement, Toll Brothers says our success drives from selling homes to buyers who actually close, not retaining deposits from people who dont. The company says edward and tasha walked away from their agreements and that they commit valuable land and invest hundreds of thousands of dollars and resources into its custom homes. My client, 45,000 in legal fees. Reporter he has gotten some of his clients their money back but only after a long and expensive legal fight. Both tasha and edward have reached out to the government to try to get their money back. So how can you protect yourself as a home buyer . Well the key is securing a mortgage before signing any contract or even walking into the sales office. And always seek legal advice before signing anything. From our jersey shore bureau, a new year and a new chapter begins today in atlantic city. The resort town had a rough year. Four casinos closed and the taj mahal is still in trouble.

There are still some ships involved in the search overnight, but the aircraft are grounded. The divers didnt get out today. They werent able to go down and check anything out.
