The Florida Attorney General’s Office has opened five new investigations this year, with four centered in South Florida, involving foreclosure rescue and mortgage modification companies, a key enforcement concern for regulators.

Businesses being examined on allegations they took fees upfront for their services, in violation of state law, include: Foreclosure Relief Systems LLC, also doing business as Foreclosure Rescue Services, of Miami and Miami Beach; Pendulum Financial Group, also doing business as Blue Fox Financial, of Plantation; and Lender Forensics LLC, also doing business as National Modification LLC, of North Palm Beach.

 The law offices of Thomas Dvorak, of Fort Lauderdale, are being investigated on allegations an attorney allowed a foreclosure rescue group to operate out of his office under the firm’s name, state officials said.

 Save Our Dream LLC, of Orlando, is being examined for possible violations involving residential foreclosure proceedings.
