Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray is suing Barclays Capital Real Estate Inc. for allegedly not helping consumers at risk of losing their homes.

Cordray, a Democrat, said the company provided “inadequate, incompetent customer service” and issued “unfair” loan modification agreements.

The lawsuit against Barclays’s unit known as HomEq Servicing, seeks a court order barring the loan-servicing firm from violating Ohio consumer protection laws and fines of $25,000 for each violation.
