What they DO NOT TELL you is that loan modifications do not justify the fact that they gave out an illegal loan to begin with. All the so called loan modification companies and experts that are out there to quote "Help The Homeowner" and get you a modify payment, are paid by the bank to do so. The banks want you to go through that avenue, they want you to think you are being helped. That's how they cover the bigger picture, the HUGE SCAM they have being doing all these years. This is a GLOBAL SCAM.
As reported on foreclosure defense nationwide:
Mortgage Meltdown: “Entire Industry Is A Scam,”
Says NY AG As Subpoenas Go Out To 14 Loan Modification Firms; “Intent To Sue” Sent To Another
Bloomberg News reports:
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo subpoenaed 14 loan-modification companies and plans to sue [another] as part of a probe of the “foreclosure rescue” industry.(1) [...] “Many of these companies charge upfront fees which are specifically prohibited by law,” Cuomo said in a conference call. “Sometimes homeowners even end up paying a higher cost after one of these companies gets involved.” Cuomo said that in many ways the “entire industry is a scam” because the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides assistance to struggling homeowners for free.
