Complaint 17773 Details

Brian Colombana, Adrian Kinney, Glen and Gene Malone, together and separately pestered my sister, Audrey Cooper, to do work on her house. They went by several times, together and separately, to try to convince her that she needed work done on her house. They had the house appraised, they even paid for the appraisal. The appraiser said that the house was worth about $250,000. My sister, Audrey Cooper, was 78 years old at the time. Her only source of income was about $1000.00+-per month. After several different days trying to convince her that she needed something, she and her daughter continued their plan to go to Atlanta, GA. My nephew, Pat, who lived in the house with his mother, called me to say that the contractor was breaking the windows. My sister had not signed a contract to do any work. They had only talked about remodeling her house to build a second story and to construct a Section 8 apartment complex in the back year for one of her sons. There were no permits obtained, there was no upstairs built, there was no section 8 apartment built in the back year. A check for about $250,000.00 was sent to my nieces credit union. One of the players called to ask for money to pay for the work that was already done. My sister did not apply for a loan to do any work. They told her to use the money to pay for the remodeling. My niece started sending the money back in $2400.00 payments until all of the money was gone. Construction had stopped. The lender still felt that they were owed $250,000.00+- at 11.5%. My sister was born in 1929. If you were to project $250,000 at 11.5%, it would project into millions of dollars and for what? They added an unlawful bathroom, installed some windows and did a lot of things that were not according to code, but nothing worth $250,000.
Since the payments stopped, they proceeded to sell the house at an auction. On July 10, 2011, the sheriff locked her out of her house. At age 82 years old and two operations on her eyes, she is now homeless. The bank says she still owes the balance of the money. Money that she did not sign for, nor asked for.

I obtained copies of the tax records. The records states that my sister signed her house over to Mortgage Solutions Management, Inc. on August 8, 2007 for a $253,000.00 loan. My sister did not sign the loan. Her name was transferred from a sheet of paper that they had asked her to sign her name several times. I know this is long. I think I forgot something. They sold my sisters' house at an auction. Her paid for house is now sold and she owes money to the people that sold it. Plus she is homeless.
This does not sound right.


She had 6 children, two were living with her plus one grandson.
They are all temporarily living with one of her daughters.

I hope that you can follow this. Some of the players were Fast Pace Funding, Mortgage Solution, Texas Capital Bank, West Coast Servicing, Inc.,etc. The house was sold to SDLA Properties, LP, 1785 Hancock St. #100, San Diego, CA 92110.

I have hired a friend of mine, who is a lawyer, but it is getting expensive to try to fight it. I did notify the State Contraction License Board and the City of L.A.
