The Realty Law Center
Complaint 126230 Details

I was led to believe that The Realty Law Firm had obtained a Loan Modification from Freddie Mac that turned out to be fraudlent. In order to persuade me to pay the Attorney's Retainer Fee which by Law was not to be paid until a Modification was accepted, I was told that I would receive the paperwork via overnight mail, I paid half the fee and never received the signed Retainer Agreement or the Modification documents. The payment I did make was my Mortgage payment that was due for the Month of October that I was told I didn't have to pay since they had obtained a waiver of the Mortgage payments for 3 months. I refused to make the remaining payment until I recieved the documents as promised. I received harassing phone calls attempting to get me to pay the balance disguised as requests for "additional" updated documents for a Modification that I was told was already finalized. I sent a request for a refund of the money I paid, that was outright refused ! When I researched the Company and the Attorney associated with it, (Bruce Weiner), the information I found was disheartening. I wish I had done the reasearch more thoroughly, and not listened to the lies I was told. If I had continued to let them string me along, I could have lost my home. The amount of money I paid them caused me a great financial hardship-I have yet to make the mortgage payment I missed last October. Because of missing that payment I was not approved for a "legitimate" Modification..That hurts a lot because, both my husband and I are sick and on fixed incomes. I filed complaints with the California Bar Association, the California Attorney General's Office and Federal Agencies dealing with Mortage Modification fraud. I hope someone takes a look at this complaint, and something is done to prosecute everyone envolved in this scam. I'm sure there must be hundreds if not thousands of us out there. I live in Georgia-I suspect I'm not the only they've scammed and lied to.
