I'm in SC. No lawyers listed. What about this Loan Mod firm? - Loan Modification Forum

jsttoomuch · 07-07-2009, 10:51 AM

The Loan Workout Consultants, LLC. in Tarzana, CA. The guy claims they
will do all the paperwork and contacting Bank of America with a 100%
guarantee of a loan mod we can afford or our money back.

He wants $500 good faith money to get started and then another $1,500 upon
satisfactory completion of the process. He says they do all the forensic
stuff with the loan docs and he believes they can get our 2nd mtg written off.

I soooooooo want to believe this is not a scam and do it. I love my house and
I don't want to lose it but I am so overwhelmed by all the steps and paperwork
that I'm afraid I'm going to drop the ball...especially since I'm a school
teacher and summer break is not going to last much longer. It's almost
impossible to be making phone calls and faxing stuff while you're "trapped"
in a classroom all day!

I never heard of them, but they are starting off by operating illegally. They are a non-law firm, take money up front, offer 100% guarantees and they operate out of state.

Also, he is running his busines out of an apartment or condo. Check this out!!!!

18745 Hatteras St. Tarzana, CA 91356 - Google Maps

I would run the other direction and tell these creeps/vultures operating from their kitchen tables to buzz off.

Please use an in state South Carolina attorney.

If I look for a lawyer in SC, what kind of law am I looking for him/her to practice?

Nathan Fransen Esq. · 07-07-2009, 01:23 PM

You may want to check with bankruptcy attorneys. They often are familiar with the lawyers doing this type of work and are usually pretty easy to find.

Best of Luck.

NO LEGAL ADVICE HERE - JUST GENERAL INFORMATION - ANY SIMILARITIES TO ANYONE'S ACTUAL SITUATION IS JUST ONE HECK OF A COINCIDENCE.

Check with your county bar association for a referral to a bankruptcy or real estate lawyer with mortgage law experience... that would be a start. Also, if you know any attorneys socially, ask for a referral.

It's also a really good idea to hire someone you can meet face to face so you see the office, and get a positive vibe before paying.
