lifeline financial promised to modify home loan,did nothing and took my money. ft lauderdale, Florida

lifeline financial promised to reduce my mortgage payments in half.after i payed them there was no contact for 6 months.when i called to check on their progess,they told me that there was nothing they could do for me and wanted to negotiate a refund.at this time i knew i had been scammed.after more research on the matter,i found out that it was illegal in the state of idaho to accept fees before modifactions were made.this is a bait and switch scam.for $995.00 and 6 months wasted,these people still want to keep the money for services they cannot even prove.for a company that bragged about their staff of lawyers,you would think that one of them should have known that their buisness practices were a fraud.
