Complaint Review: Federal Loan Modification Law Center

Several months ago, because I was unemployed and we could not make our mortgage payments, we contacted the Federal Loan Modification Law Center in Irvine, California. My wife had seen their advertisement on TV. We were contacted by a "lawyer" who identified himself as "Juan Sanchez", who told us he would be handling our case. He told us that we should send him a bunch of information. After receiving the information, he called my wife to tell her that they would be able to handle the problem; that the mortgage company we had was one they had worked with before. We had to send them a fee of over $1,300 at the first, and we had to agree to an additional $900+ to be paid later.
I have sent them several other items by e-mail and fax and have been told that this would help. The original mortgage was taken out by my mother and I. One of the items I had to send the "lawyer" was her death certificate. We have received no correspondence from this company, and only several e-mails from them. Last Friday, June 12, 2009, we found a Notice of Seizure and Sale on our front door. I contacted FLM Law Center by phone several times and have received not e-mail or phone contact from them. We have not contacted an attorney as of yet, but that will soon follow. We still do not have the money to pay on the mortgage and my job that I finally got ended. Now I am again unemployed and it looks like we may lose our home (my old family home).
