Gary,

Have you tried calling a HUD-approved nonprofit housing counselor? You can speak with a certified counselor by calling 888-995-4673. They can evaluate your housing options, open lines of communication with mortgage lenders, negotiate a loan modification, and help you with household budgeting, all at no cost.

The California Attorney General's press release on "forensic loan audits" is posted here on TrustLink under New Scams.

For more info on loan modification, check out the LABBB's Facebook page at:

I learned the hard way after being scammed out of $3000 by National Relief Group. It is always best to try to work directly with your mortgage company. And it will not cost you a dime.
