This is to share my story with all the readers out there to watch out for Alliance Law Center based out of San Diego.  They sell you on the services that they provide very easily. They return  your call and keep close contact until you sign the agreement.  Once my agreement was signed and they deducted money of my account, they stopped calling me.  When I initiated contact with them, I received no response what so ever.  After many phone calls and emails asking for someone to call me to discuss my case, I've finally started asking for my money back and still have not gotten a response.  I will continue to follow up with them but be aware that this appears to be a trend with them.  They are fast in taking your money and very very slow in getting anything done in regards to your case.  Note: the contract that I signed states under scope of services that they have to get back to client inquiries in a resonable time.  If I'm sending them email after email, phone call after phone call and am getting no response, they have broken the contract and I deserve my full refund back which I will fight for until I get it.  I also plan on reporting them with BBB and other networks that we can find (Channel 7 on your side etc.)

California Attorney General takes interest in Alliance Law Center

AUTHOR: sdrealtygal - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, August 20, 2009

The California Attorney General is finally taking some action about these guys. See (((Redacted)))As Alliance Law Center continues to operate a Boiler Room type Loan modification Debt Settlement law firm.  I am a Professional Real Estate Agent that was well connected to a few employees there and thought you should know what I noticed.  I stood in shock and amazement several times in ALC's old location and most recently the new location down in San Diego's Crack Alley, when I listened to Alliance Law Centers training material and closing pitches made by many of their unqualified/unlicensed/inexperienced sales force, I was amazed at how their pitch is to get your money by exploiting your situation and playing the We are a Law Firm card. I have been in many of Law Offices in my days and I have never seen one that looks anything like this.


     This is a turn-em and burn- em, very competitive sales force driven by your cash and the salespersons commission more than results, Real Estate financing or the ever desired Actually Helping You.  I've seen several sales people high fiving each other as some poor homeowner committed to paying ALC $1000's of dollars they probably could not afford for the dream of getting a loan Mod, The Poor Homeowner surely hoping that the individual with the smooth closing line on the phone and the "We have done 1000's of Loan Mods" bull crap who is taking their money, was going to actually solve any problem. Yeah Right!! Their set up has between 30-50 salespeople manning the phones at all times in a 2nd story warehouse type room in the Ghetto. At no time are any of the 30-50 salespeople that are always on the phone actually making calls to your lenders or on your files. These people spend all day trying to close new deals, get people to sign up and pay the upfront fees. These so called File In takers, Loan Analysts, Advocates, Debt Consultants and whatever other glorified titles they use, range from  chain smoking, used car salespeople types,  gamblers betting on sports half the day to ex cons and the like.


   It was common to see perspiration on the brow of salespeople from the fever frenzy sales pitches being made. I wondered if anyone working there actually knows enough about loans  to even get you a Crappy Mortgage.  I was amazed at how little most of the sales people actually knew about Loan Mods or Real Estate for that matter. The Loan Mod/ Debt Settlement salespeople seemed to have the same canned questions and replies to homeowners concerns. I even saw scripts on many desks and some posted to walls of cubicles.  Most of the sales force comes from an entirely different industry altogether but have decided due to the economic conditions to jump on the Loan Mod/ Debt Settlement gravy train, where you are the mashed potatoes.


   I met several of the Legal Team and most looked like they were fresh out of High School/Law school. I thought to myself "No way is this Kid an Attorney" when I met the first one, I wondered why anyone would hire a group of Kid's fresh out of Law School to do  Loan Mods. Check out the License numbers of ALC Counsel with State Bar and you will see many new Licensees.  It is a chaotic environment that appears to not have much depth or expertise in the Real Estate industry and a lot of expertise in taking your upfront fees.


   ALCs expertise in Real Estate became evident to me after asking some basic Real Estate Law questions (of which I already knew the answer) to a few of the young Attorneys. The answers were embarrassing as to their Basic Real Estate knowledge and a few did not know the answer and said They would check into it and get back to me. I'm sure they are bright kids if, in fact, they go the distance and get a Law Degree. However, hands on experience was obviously lacking from the apparent age of several of the Legal Team. I had to ask myself A Law Degree doesnt make one a Real Estate or Mortgage Expert? Does it? Most have probably originated a new mortgage and now desperate home owners are throwing $1000 of dollars at these guys UPFRONT to get a loan mod. As time progresses the many angry clients of ALC will continue to surface at it will obvious that ALS couldnt get you a loan mod any more effectively than you could yourself  with a little help from a Real, Real Estate Professional. Its nice to see that the Attorney General is now taking some action against these guys. I would imagine that ALC is most concerned about this and surely the complaints that are on the way from other state AGs.  If you thought it was hard to get in touch with these guy before, wait a week of so.


  ALC is posting what some might think are great success stories about the Loan Mods they are getting done,  as you can see on Twitter for example. What ALC should be saying is we have taken in Millions of Dollars from 1000s of Desperate Homeowners and really only have succeeded in helping a very small number In relation to number of clients we have taken money from. I am sure ALC has many home went to Foreclosure, did nothing for me, homeless, unhappy campers as clients


   I have been reading the posts about them and thought I might be able to help shed some light as to what you actually are getting with the Alliance Law Center Boiler Room Help Center.  I would not allow them to watch my dog let alone watch out for my best interest in Modifying my Mortgage. Once you pay ALC the up font fee, its guaranteed to be all uphill from there.  This guarantee is of course more likely than ALCs guarantee to their customers/victims.
