A Colorado Couple Thought They Signed a Contract for an Interest-Free Loan. They Could Owe Triple What They Initially Got
Elizabeth Aniskevich, Senior Counsel at Singleton Schreiber LLP, was featured by 9 News in an article titled “A Colorado Couple Thought They Signed a Contract for an Interest-Free Loan. They Could Owe Triple What They Initially Got,” published on April 10, 2026.
Aniskevich represents a Colorado couple in a federal lawsuit involving an equity sharing agreement with a home investment company. She is leading the legal challenge, arguing that the agreement functions as a loan and should be subject to applicable consumer protection laws and disclosure requirements.
The case centers on whether equity sharing agreements are being marketed and structured in a way that misleads consumers. The plaintiffs allege the product is deceptive and results in significantly higher repayment obligations than initially understood, raising broader concerns about transparency, lending practices, and consumer protection compliance in alternative home financing products.
Stated Ansikevich, “They offer a product using certain language, consumers enter into that product, and then they discover they didn't get what they thought they got at the outset.”
