Fraudulent Companies Assure Assistance in Averting Foreclosures
The times are indeed tough. As more and more people lose jobs, they falter on mortgage payments. Banks take over these properties. As a result, foreclosures have become very common. Now the situation has spawned fraudulent companies that promise relief to the harassed homeowners. They assure assistance in averting foreclosures. Or if a person is unable to pay medical bill, these companies immediately come for help. They assure lower mortgage payments as well.
Kristen and Joseph Noyes was one such couple who got enthused by the claims of a fraud company. They had hoped that they would not lose their ranch-style home in Coventry. However, their home was foreclosed upon.
It may be noted that in Connecticut foreclosures are at an all-time high. People are really desperate and these companies are quick to step in to take advantage of the situation. They charge a hefty fee for the assistance but disappear soon after.
State officials have warned people time and gain but to no avail. They now expect the problem to worsen as more and more people default on the adjustable mortgage. It may be noted that ARM allows a person to pay less in the initial period but after five years, the amount balloons and gets added to the loan amount. This leaves more homeowners at risk.
The Federal and state governments had come up with various home rescue programs to help harassed homeowners but the lenders are somehow sitting on the proposals. As banks are delaying the process of loan modification, fly-by-night operators take advantage of the situation. For the panic-stricken homeowners, they seem a blessing. It is only much later that the homeowners realize they have been taken for a ride.
Now Connecticut authorities will come up with a law that will ban companies from demanding payments upfront for help in mortgage issues. This law seems to have come in a little late for the Noyes. The couple had already made a payment of $1,500 to a company based in New Jersey. The couple had failed to make mortgage payments after Joseph lost work. The family income had really plunged to half even though Kristen still worked in a day care centre.
The duo increasingly became frustrated with the lender. They had repeatedly got in touch with the lenders but there was no response from them. That’s when she came to know about Davis Foreclosure Assistance and got duped in the process.
