AVID Law Center I had to pay up front $3,000. before they could begin working on my loan modification. Even though I told them I had tried myself and was not satisfied with the new loan, they said they could do bette Aliso Viejo, California

Avid Law Center stated that they would be more successful in getting me a loan modification with Indymac Bank since I was not satisfied with the one I got on my own. They stated they had alot of experience with Indymac Bank and since they have the formula to get me a better modification, that it would be to my advantage to go through them since they know what to do. They insisted that I had to pay upfront $3,000 before they could begin my case. I paid them the $3,000, in 2 payments. All I received were weekly e-mails indicating the same message. Indymac is so busy but  were working on it.

After 9mos of this, they said I wasn't qualified for another loan modification because I can only get one in a year. I got my loan modification on my own around March or April 2008 and AVID Law took my case in July 2008. AVID Law center said they couldn't do anything for me and sent me a letter dated 5/7/09 that they completed their legal work and were closing my case. I asked them to send me proof of what they did, they sent me a log of 6 calls that were documented to Indymac Bank. They said they had a new computer system so they weren't able to send me the previous call logs to Indymac Bank.

If this isn't a rip off, I don't know what is!
