Stop Foreclosure Scams
Question: Loan modification firm scam?
Hi,
thank you for your time in viewing my post. Long story, short;I hired an attorney/loan modification firm, in CA, in late August. Who said they can modify my mother's property, to get a loan modification. They had me pay $1,200.00 upfront, and another $1,200.00 in September. They pretty much had nothing, got no where. They had been giving me a runaround, ignoring my calls, seems like a one man show type firm. I had sent them check stubs, sign paper work, and no results. Pretty much the foreclosure is in effect (Oct 15.) and the lender does not want to offer a modification.
I feel like I been scammed, or this firm has done NOTHING in their end, they suggested "your mother needs to file Chapter 13 to stop foreclosure, or find an attorney who can do it". They did not modify anything.
Now I'm working with a REAL lawyer, who is stopping my Mother's foreclosure in 3 days (Oct. 15).
Is there anything I can do? to get my money back?
Thank you

Answer: This just happened to one of my family members. She had an attorney write the company a letter plus she notified the attorney generals office in the state she lives in plus the one the company is in. Both opened investigations and one of the states filed a law suit against the company on her behalf because what they were doing violated the state laws. She promptly got a refund. Of course this will depend on the laws in your state but I would definitely notify the attorney generals office.
