Complaints against lenders made to the North Carolina attorney general increased 8 percent last year, according to data the office released Thursday.
More than 4,300 written complaints were received on issues including interest rate increases, late payment fees and foreclosure help scams, the office said. That's up from about 4,000 the year before.
N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper was one of the primary negotiators in the $25 billion mortgage servicing settlement reached in February with the nation's largest banks and state attorneys general. Since then, attorneys general around the country have received complaints related to mortgage servicing issues.
But lenders actually fell from the top spot as the largest source of complaints. Telemarketers received the most complaints, with 6,126 coming from perceived violations of the national "Do Not Call" registry that allows people to opt out from the cold calls. Another 3,418 came about telemarketing scams and fraud, like fake sweepstakes.
