Law Offices of New Horizon & Associates LLC Consumer Advocate Group; New Horizon Funding & Realty INC; Home Sweet Home Consultants Scam loan modification Co; wanted $7K up front; pretended my house had sold at foreclosure auction (but it had not) & they could get it back for an add't $1K. Internet

I need to report a situation for investigation to all interested investigators. A loan modification company hiding behind the Name of New Horizon Law Office, tried to get me to give them $7,000 ($4,000 up front) Friday Jan 22nd.  The following day, Jan. 23rd, I got a distress 911 call from them claiming that "my house had been sold" the day before, but they could get the bank to reverse it for $1,000. I gave them a check to hold today when I would have the funds. They pressed really hard for this money and now wanted the $4000 within two weeks. I was in tears at this point. They said leave the date and payable part blank. Long story short, I called Chase directly on Wednesday, to discover that my house had NOT been sold and did NOT ever have a sale date of the 22nd.  It did have a pending sale date of today Jan. 29th, but my call directly to Chase and their attorney canceled today's sale, and my new modification package will be shipped out in a couple weeks.

The loan mod company did not count on me figuring out what they were up to, which was to let me think it was sold to an undisclosed 3rd party last week(which would have been them, and for me to buy my own house back from them, and pay their attorney $7,000 to represent me in the buy back. When they went to the court house today to bid on my house, they discovered that my sale had been canceled. As a result, they just called me and said "congratulations" we just got your house back and need you to come in and sign the paperwork for the modification with us (committing me to the $7,000), and we need to deposit your $1000 check for getting the sale reversed. There are more details, but too much to email.

I've been trying to qualify to stay in my house with Chase on my own for months now. I was on a trial mod with them since last May, and have not missed any of my trial payments in the eight months that I've been going through their process. But they finally told me on Jan. 13th that I did not have adequate income to qualify for a modified payment, which is what triggered the foreclosure sale date of today (which they did not notified me about). I did everything they asked, and Chase simply told me that I must qualify to stay in my home, that they just can't give me a modification. So they then said I either have to pay the past due amount, or start the entire modification process all over from scratch. This is what triggered my need to seek outside assistance to ensure that I could get qualified going forward.

However, I found New Horizon, this crooked loan mod company, who tried to steeling my house right from under my nose. Most likely, there are a number of people who were not so lucky to outsmart them at their own game, and still more people coming to them daily seeking help to save their homes from foreclosure.  New Horizons is running late night TV commercials and they have an office on

Ventura Blvd.

in Tarzana. I want to do my part at exposing their scam. Can you help me do that? Can you please not brush this matter aside and give it to whomever else would find this kind of matter important to investigate, stop and expose? (PS, I did not let them know that I know that my house was not up for sale on the 22nd or that it was not sold and therefore could not have been recovered by them, nor that I called my lender directly to stop the real sale date of today.)
