A:
I'm sorry you're facing this issue. Start by closely examining the loan document for any inconsistencies, such as unusual terms, lack of official logos, or contact information that doesn't match the lender's official channels.
Reach out to the California Department of Consumer Affairs or your local consumer protection office. They can provide guidance and may offer free verification services to help determine if the document is legitimate.
Additionally, consider contacting reputable financial institutions for their input or seeking assistance from legal aid organizations that provide free consultations. Avoid sharing personal information or making any payments until you're certain the document is authentic.
