ITEM 1.     Security and Issuer.

      This Statement relates to the common stock of Mego Mortgage Corp., having 
its principal executive office at 1000 Parkwood Circle, Suite 500, Atlanta, GA
30339.  

ITEM 2.     Identity and Background.

      This  statement is being filed by Emanuel J. Friedman: 

      (a)  Emanuel J. Friedman;

      (b)  1001 19th Street North, Arlington, VA 22209-1710;

      (c)  Present principal occupation: Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
           Friedman Billings Ramsey Group, Inc.

      (d)-(e) During the last five years,  Mr. Friedman has not been convicted 
in a criminal  proceeding (excluding  traffic  violations or similar
misdemeanors),  or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or 
administrative body of competent  jurisdiction and as a result of such  
proceeding  was or is subject to a judgment,  decree or final  order  enjoining
future  violations  of,  or  prohibiting  or  mandating activities subject to, 
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such 
laws.

      (f) Emanuel J. Friedman is a United States citizen.

           
Item 3.     Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

      On June 9, 1998, Mr. Friedman executed a common stock Purchase Agreement
      with Mego Mortgage Corp. (Mego), which provided for the purchase of 
      6,666,667 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share. 
      The purchase of the common stock was consummated on June 29, 1998. Mr. 
      Friedman used personal funds to pay the $10,000,000 in consideration paid
      to Mego pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  The Schedule 13D filed on 
      July 22, 1998 inadvertently reported that Mr. Friedman beneficially owned
      100,000 shares of common stock prior to the acquisition on June 29, 1998. 

      The common stock shares purchased by Mr. Friedman on June 29, 1998 have 
      full voting rights. The common stock shares, however, have not been 
      registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities laws 
      and, unless so registered, may only be offered or sold pursuant to an 
      exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration 
      requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities
      laws.  Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated June 29, 1998, 
      Mego agreed to file on or before September 16, 1998, a registration 
      statement covering Mr. Friedman's common stock shares and use all
      reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared 
      effective on or before the 180th day after the date of issuance.
