BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) Some former employees of Curt Schilling's 38 Studios are dealing with unexpected mortgage issues in the wake of the company's bankruptcy.
According to the Boston Globe, an attorney for five former employees of the video game company has asked Attorney General Martha Coakley to investigate a relocation company that worked with 38 Studios during its relocation to Rhode Island from Massachusetts. The lawyer accuses the company of violating the state's consumer protection law and sticking workers with a second mortgage.
When 38 Studios relocated, the company made a deal with MoveTrek Mobility LLC of Rockland to assist their staff in selling their homes.
The employees were under the impression that they had sold their homes to MoveTrek in 2011, but some workers were sent a letter informing them that MoveTrek was rescinding its agreement to buy their homes on the same day 38 Studios filed for bankruptcy.
MoveTrek tells the Globe that it was unable to sell seven homes due to a struggling real estate market and because 38 Studios refused to pay costs required to sell the home.
