Federal Trustee Services now trading as Mortgage Claim Center Outreach and Mortgageclaimcenter.com LLC fined and cited by WA State L&I

#6UPDATE EX-employee responds

Mon, September 26, 2011

WA State Labor and Industries has fined and issued a citation against:

Gerald Hennessey (AKA Gerald Allen Hennessey and Gerald-Allen Hennessey)
CEO and Governing officer of
Federal Trustee Services Co 
PO Box 11083
Tacoma WA 98411-0083.

Federal Trustee Services has been found to have violated WA state Employment standards  in multiple claims by former employees.

Former employees have claimed among other things - that they were not paid for all hours worked, they did not receive overtime due, they were paid below minimum wage and were not issued final paychecks. 

After investigation, Labor and Industries determined Federal Trustee Services "has violated wage payment requirements" 

Labor and Industries issued a penalty of $1000 per claim on the basis that Federal Trustees Services willfully refused to pay employees. 

And FYI - FTS is NOT bankrupt! The fake Chapter 11 papers Hennessey tried to file had a false EIN number on it among other things and was thrown out of court - so there is no stay any longer. ANY employee current or former who  was unpaid, underpaid, forced to work unpaid overtime or any other issues  - even for the LAST THREE YEARS may be eligible for a claim.    

ANYONE who worked for ANY of these companies needs to contact State Labor and Industries Officials to see if you too are entitled to claim as well.

Oh dear, I wish you would immediately get your money back and run as far as you can away from these folks... but it's your decision.

But promise me you'll get informed about who you're dealing with:   

  • You will want to look at the other, more extensive RipOff report about Federal Trustees if you haven't seen it already:  http://www.ripoffreport.com/loan-modification/federal-trustee-serv/federal-trustee-services-warn-af9cd.htm


  • You may want to be aware you gave your money to a company headed by a twice convicted  bank robber and felon... it's a free country
See here: for info on Allen Hennessey's California bank robbery conviction: 

http://articles.hbindependent.com/1999-08-19/news/export14262_1_two-bank-police-briefs-fountain-valley-police 

  See here:  for information on his most recent 2010 felony conviction for theft and check fraud in Washington. (You'll need to make sure you check the box marked "Criminal" and type Allen  Hennessey's name into the search. FYI he calls himself by a number of aliases - this time he used his real name "Gerald Allen Hennessey")

http://www.co.pierce.wa.us/cfapps/linx/Main.cfm 

In fact, for a while Allen proudly displayed a  "promotional" video on the web where he joked and bragged about his bank robbery conviction - but he has since removed it. 
  • You are also going to want to read this joint document from the Federal Trade Commission and the FBI - especially the part where it says:
 "  There is no evidence that forensic loan audits will help you get a loan modification or any
other foreclosure relief, even if theyre conducted by a licensed, legitimate and trained auditor,  mortgage professional or lawyer.  "

and:

"Some federal laws allow you to sue your lender based on errors in your loan documents. But even if you sue and win, your lender is not required to modify your loan simply to make your payments more affordable. "
 
and:



"If you cancel your loan, you will have to return the borrowed money, which may result in you losing your home.  "
  

  http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt177.shtm

As for the sales staff's reassurances that "everything's fine"  I am sure that Federal Trustees AKA Mortgage Claim Center Outreach staff told you "things were running smoothly"...

Especially since I suspect they made you pay all your fees upfront and have no  intention of giving it back without a fight. 

What they won't tell you and what you should probably know is that Mr Hennessey never actually "fought the banks and won" , he never "proved fraud in his mortgage" and he does not "Live in his home free from the threat of foreclosure". 

The document he quotes at "PROOF" on the Mortgage Claim Center tab does anything BUT prove his claims that his methods work if you look closely ....

http://www.scribd.com/doc/53878069/FreeNclear-Proof

Those "official looking"  stamps all over the document saying "Void for Fraud" and "Please note"??

Not official at all (that's why you'll see "unofficial copy" across  the document). For starters - courts don't do that.

Those stamps belong to Federal Trustees. They aren't legal - or even remotely official.

And that "transcript"  they claim as an "Attachment" their "PROOF" ??? 

Well, for starters it wasn't an attachment to anything like the document they produce online. 

It's a part of a heavily edited transcript from Allen's chapter 7 personal bankruptcy case - which guess what... Does not include any real estate holdings.

So when the judge says (and Allen highlights)  "your debts are discharged" it in no way refers to any real estate.  

http://www.uscourts.gov/FederalCourts/Bankruptcy/BankruptcyBasics/Chapter7.aspx

and see here:

http://bankruptcy.findlaw.com/bankruptcy/bankruptcy-chapter-7/exempt-vs-nonexempt-property.html

and here:

http://bankruptcy.findlaw.com/bankruptcy/bankruptcy-chapter-7/how-chapter-7-works.html

Simply put, Mr Henessey claimed no real estate property in this bankruptcy filing because he did not actually own any real estate. - and he still doesn't.

In fact, Mr Hennessey own no property in the state of Washington where he currently resides after being released from a California jail - nor  does he own property in any other state in the United States. 

His current home is in the name of a fake  shell organization that has claimed (and still does in some places)  to be a Church. The "officers" of this fake church and non-profit are friends of his.  

Allen Hennessey never even used his own method - and he certainly didn't succeed in it. He just perpetrated  yet another scam.  

So...please - make your own decision -  follow a bank robber and felon's "method", commit potential fraud and put your home in the name of fake church - just like Allen Hennessey!

But please do yourself a favor and contact your nearest HUD approved housing assistance center before you give these people one more cent of your money:

And don't say we didn't warn you.

I don't see this at ALL?

Currently my mortgage is under review by Mortgage Claim Center Outreach.  To date I have received information from the stage one investigation in the form of two reports. One is a FLI the other is a securitization audit.  I have contacted the main office regarding this matter spoken of here. 

I was informed that yes there has been a bankruptcy filed and all previous clients are being handled through MCCO.  Both organizations to my knowledge and understanding have been and are currently directed by Allan Hennessey.  I have been assured that things are running smoothly.  As for Federal Trustee Services I have really no pertinent information. 

To date my concern is with my mortgage and what has taken place in regards to fraud and predatory lending.  I can appreciate what has been done for my family in this matter so far. I will keep you updated. FYI I am currently in stage two regarding MCCO's program and have no reason to doubt their professionalism in this matter.

Federal Trustee Services now trading as Mortgage Claim Center Outreach and Mortgageclaimcenter.com LLC - still just as fradulent

#6UPDATE EX-employee responds

Sun, May 29, 2011

Federal Trustee Services is still doing business - but is now calling themselves "Mortgage Claim
Center Outreach" and "Mortgage Claim Center.com".

"Mortgage Claim Center" in is various incarnations is just as bogus an operation as Federal Trustee Services is - probably because exactly the same people are behind Mortgage Claim Center Outreach and MortgageClaimCenter.com LLC as are behind the still-in-business (and just as bogus) Federal Trustee Services.

Federal Trustees and its erstwhile CEO convicted bank-robber and thief Allen Hennessey (AKA Gerald Hennessey and his latest alias "Gerald-Allen" Hennessey) are popular here at the Rip-off Report - read all about it here:

 http://www.ripoffreport.com/loan-modification/federal-trustee-serv/federal-trustee-services-warn-af9cd.htm    

"Fans" of Mortgage Claim Center Outreach (Who usually turn out not to be legitimate clients or  customers of the company but staff who are  forced to write "positive" things about them on the net, the CEO himself pretending to be someone he's not,  or his equally unethical attorney.) claim they are a "legitimate" business and have no links to Federal Trustees.

Lets see how this hold up to scrutiny:

Firstly - how can a company claim to be both a "for profit" and a "non-profit" at the same time? 

Secondly,  Mortgage claim center.com only came into existence AFTER Federal Trustees was slapped with a demand from WA State Labor and Industries for violating state and Federal labor laws by refusing to pay and underpaying  employees.    


On it's own website Mortgage Claim Outreach claims as "PROOF" a link to: www.http://www.scribd.com/doc/53878069/FreeNclear-Proof and uses this "PROOF" (as they put it) as "PROOF" of their awesome methods.

This document was prepared by one Lakisha Morris Esq at Federal Trustee Services for property "owned" by Mr  Allen Henessey. (FYI - Ms Morris also worked for and still works for Gerald Hennessey, and claims off and on to be his attorney when he;s not incarcerated or about to be incarcerated.)
 
Mortgage Claim Center Outreach makes claims that eerily echo the exact same claims  made by Federal Trustees - the only difference you'll notice is that Mortgage Claim Center substitutes  the word "staff" for the name "Allen". 

Either these companies are the same or MCC Outreach needs to sue for plagiarism.
 
As for the "PROOF" that this offers - it may interest folks to know that Mr Henessey did NOT "prove fraud" and have his mortgage declared "invalid" by a court of law as the website claims.

In fact - here;s what happened:

Mr Hennessey gave Power of Attorney over his  Alturus Road property to Federal Trustee
Services by A Notice of Claim (201003120441) dated 3/12/10, filed by Federal Trustees Services signed by Gerald Allen Hennessey as representative of the Washington Homeowner Resolution Trust and signing Power of Attorney over Real Property to Federal Trustee Services.

Federal Trustee Services then put the property in the name of an organization falsely claiming to be a "Church" known as the Las Alturus Organization.

Also - that Bankruptcy? Thrown out of court  for being unable to meet the minimum filing requirements and failing to pay the $1000 filing fee.   

So - Feel free to use the Mortgage Claim Center method  - all you have do is:



  • Be willing to risk going to Federal Prison for fraud for putting your home in the name of a fake church


  • Be willing to go to Federal Prison for tax fraud with the IRS find out your "church" is fake


  • Be willing to be investigated and arrested by the FBI for mortgage fraud 


  • Be willing to take advice from a convicted bank robber (1989 California) with even more felony convictions for theft and check fraud in 2010 (Pierce County WA)


  • Be willing to take complex legal and financial  advice from a guy who's been fined by the WA State Bar association for practicing law without a license.  


  • Be willing to take legal advice from someone who can't file a simply Chapter 13 Bankruptcy without screwing it up.
