Janian and Associates Took 3500.00 and promised within 3 months I would have my mortage modified Internet, California

I was contacted by Pierre Bates at the Law firm of Janian and Associates in January about a modification of our home  loan. We talked a couple of time and he said for $3500 he could get our loan modified within 3 months. He sent me examples of what they had already done for other people. We agreed to his terms and sent all the necessary paperwork. Over the next 3 months $1167.00 was taken out of our checking account. We were asked for extra paperwork each month. I called and talked to Pierre several times and he said it was being handled by someone else and they would get in touch with me. Over a period of 5 months I talked to 10 different people. In May we received a foreclosure notice. I immediately called the company and was told it would be taken care of that our house would not be sold. Two weeks later we received a sale date of July 26th. Once again I called and was told I would have to talk to Kamili. She never called so I called her. No one returned our calls.  I talked to BOA and they said that on June 4th they talked to Michelle from there but that what it no paperwork had been sent in for a modification. Finally they last week before the sale date I called Pierre and was told he no longer worked there but he would see that it was taken care of. On the 23rd of July I was put in touch with a person by the name of Yetta. She was very helpful but could not get the sale stopped. She suggested we file Bankruptcy and filled out the paperwork for us.

We received notice that not all of the paperwork was done and once again we do not know if they are going to dismiss the bankruptcy and sell the house or what!!!!!

I was taken for 3500 which is more than other people.
