I was contacted in November by this company to do a loan modification. The people seemed very nice and I was very concerned about the cost of my mortgage. They charged me 2750 and did not submit the paperwork until later. I found out later that I was already in foreclusure and they did not do much of anything and I am back to square 1. This is crazy, if there is a class A lawsuit, I will join it.

Its illegal to charge upfront fees on a loan modification before doing any work at all. Add to it that they did nothing at all and it even more illegal.

CONTACT THE STATES ATTORNEY GENERALS, your state and the state they are out of.

Foreclosure Rescue Scams:
Another Potential Stress for Homeowners in Distress
The possibility of losing your home to foreclosure can be terrifying. The reality that scam artists are preying on the vulnerability of desperate homeowners is equally frightening. Many so-called foreclosure rescue companies or foreclosure assistance firms claim they can help you save your home. Some are brazen enough to offer a money-back guarantee. Unfortunately, once most of these foreclosure fraudsters take your money, they leave you much the worse for wear.

The scam artist tells you that he can negotiate a deal with your lender to save your house if you pay a fee first. You may be told not to contact your lender, lawyer, or credit counselor, and to let the scam artist handle all the details. Once you pay the fee, the scam artist takes off with your money.



Companies like this PREY on those who make a CHOICE not to do any research first.
