The U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., receiver for Downey Savings & Loan Association, sued Amerifund Financial Inc. and affiliated individuals in federal court seeking more than $1 million in damages. The FDIC alleges breach of contract, professional negligence and civil fraud in the complaint against Amerifund, a mortgage broker, filed June 3 in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana, California.

Had true income and debts been disclosed, borrowers wouldn’t have qualified for Downey loans, according to the complaint.
