LOAN MODIFICATION ATTORNEYS UNDER INVESTIGATION
This came in my email news feed today:
Brought to you by the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®
The State Bar of California has recently launched numerous investigations against attorneys for misconduct related to loan modifications. In a rare move, the State Bar has released the names of 16 attorneys under investigation, by opting to waive investigation confidentiality in favor of public protection. These attorneys have allegedly taken fees for promised services, but failed to perform those services or even communicate with their clients who face the possible loss of their homes. Their non-attorney staff may also be under investigation for unlawfully practicing law.
Not all attorneys engaged in loan modifications are unscrupulous. However, this announcement from the State Bar serves as a good reminder for REALTORS® and their clients to be careful when dealing with attorneys and others for loan modifications. Scam artists may intentionally associate or affiliate themselves with attorneys in an attempt to lend credence to their fraudulent schemes. The list of attorneys currently under investigation is available at http://calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/calbar_generic.jsp?cid=10144&n=96395.
Your Realtor will be a great source of information and help to look at your options. Recently I finished the CPDE training: a training for Realtors to help distressed homeowners with options to avoid foreclosure. Foreclosure has serious consequences and for some it might mean not only loosing a home but also loosing a job… There are many options out there, contact your Realtor for help.
