Pittsburgh Homeowner Out $2,800 Paid To Upfront Fee Foreclosure Rescue Firm In Exchange For Failed Loan Modification Promise

In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, KDKA-TV Channel 2 reports:

  • [S]tephanie and her husband have been unable to keep current on their mortgage payment which carries a 12 percent interest rate. Three months ago, they gave a Florida foreclosure help company $2,800 in hopes the company could convince their lender to modify their loan.

***

  • Stephanie says the company assured her of a 90 percent chance of a modified loan, but three months later her lender told them that wasn't in the cards. Now the company won't return her calls and has reneged on their money-back guarantee. "I can't even get a call back, much less money back," Stephanie said.
