Summary
On December 20, 2023, the CFPB and DOJ sued Colony Ridge Development, LLC, Colony Ridge BV, LLC, Colony Ridge Land, LLC, and Loan Originator Services, LLC, alleging the companies targeted Hispanic consumers with predatory financing and engaged in bait-and-switch land sales, violating ECOA, CFPA, ILSFDA, and the Fair Housing Act. On February 10, 2026, the CFPB voluntarily dismissed its claims with prejudice; the same day DOJ, with the State of Texas, filed a joint motion indicating settlement of DOJ's and Texas's claims, which remains pending. The action therefore ends with the CFPB's claims dismissed and no CFPB monetary or injunctive order, while a related DOJ/Texas settlement is pending court approval.
