Hi, my name is Moe Bedard and I created this website in the summer of 2007. At that time there was really nobody helping homeowners and there was absolutely no information available on the internet for people to find in order to save their homes. So, that was when I got the idea to start my blog, LoanWorkout.org and this blog/forum, LoanSafe.org. Now, LoanSafe.org has over 53,000 members and receives hundreds of thousands of visitors per month.
My work has been featured in the New York Times, LA Times, Fox Business and many other media publications. My goal is to help people with my websites and restore hope through the internet. I was born and raised in Southern California and currently reside in Temecula, California with my wife and children.

LoanSafe.org is “our” community.
With over 38,000 members and growing every day, this has turned into more of a homeowner movement than a simple forum or little website. I just had the simple idea and now it has grown into thousands of us working together in fighting for our property rights and rights as consumers.
Meet the LoanSafe.org team.
