Not if I have anything to say about it!
The FBI reported a jump of 71% in mortgage relief fraudinvestigations from 2008-2009, and expects this number to have grown in 2010.
That’s why it’s my duty to educate homeowners in my communityon the cautions they need to take, and what the government has recently done toprotect you from unscrupulous individuals and companies who want to takeadvantage of their desperate situations.
What you need to watch out for if you are looking for mortgagerelief assistance:
1. Upfront fees—just don’t pay them! In fact, theyare now illegal!
2. A request to sign over your deed (this onlyspells trouble)
3. Lots of paperwork without the opportunity forreview
4. The claim of government-affiliation
These are just a few red flags you need to be wary of. I’vecreated a free report on the homepage of my website that details more of whatyou need to watch for.
If you are struggling with an unaffordable mortgage and arelooking for help, educate yourself. These scammers can be very shrewd and willsay almost anything to steal your money.
The Federal Trade Commission has required disclosures of anyoneoffering mortgage relief services. If you’d like to see an example, check outany of the pages of my website. If a company you are dealing with has notprovided these disclosures, please ask why they are not compliant, and proceedwith caution!
As a CDPE, you can trust that I have the tools to be in fullcompliance of FTC regulations, and will always work with your best interests atheart.
