US LOAN MODS represented themselves as experienced and successful loan modification experts who could help us with a loan modification with our lender.
Their plan of action was to have us obtain all the cash we could from our credit cards; they would help us with this by acting like a "seller" of services, putting this money in their account.
They would then use this money as leverage to convince the bank of modify the loan.
There was an upfront fee of about $1,000. In order to obtain an upfront fee of any amount to do a loan modification, a firm MUST be licensed to do business with the CA Department of Real Estate. This firm is not so registered.
