Executive takes issue with Washington Post piece on Aeon Financial

Blog entry: December 10, 2013, 12:22 pm | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL

An executive representing Aeon Financial is taking issue with a Washington Post investigation of the company's business practices, which was a story summarized in Monday's Editor's Choice.

The executive, Mark A. Schwartz, CEO of Axis Capital Management Inc., sent a letter to The Post that called the paper's investigation “substantially misleading and inaccurate.” It's a long letter, and you can find the full text of it here, under the subheadline, “Aeon's response.”

Cleveland suffers from an 'extra-vicious' Aeon Financial

(This blog post was updated at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 10, to include a response from an Aeon Financial executive criticizing the Washington Post investigation.)

A must-read investigation by The Washington Post looks at a mysterious company called Aeon Financial, which buys tax liens in several U.S. cities, including Cleveland, then files foreclosure cases and charges families thousands in fees to save their homes.


Be sure to read Schwartz's letter. He's a saint.
