Indiana Home Owners Facing Foreclosure - Beware of For-Profit Consultants Promising to Save Your Home from Foreclosure for a FEE $

Indiana Home Owners facing Foreclosure beware of scamsWe've blogged about this topic several times before.

An Indiana Homeowner calls us, unsure if they should list their home to sell  or invest even more money (that they sometimes even don't have due to unemployment or illness or economic condtions)to pay an unknown company that calls them up promising to SAVE THEIR HOME FROM FORECLOSURE (for a fee of course-> sometimes thousands of dollars upfront)!

 

We have had our current SHORT SALE LISTINGS get calls NON-STOP from predators.

 

Our answer is, PLEASE contact the Indiana Attorney Generals Office and check out each companies legitimacy and see if the've had complaints filed. CONSUMERS BEWARE!

This is why:


"....On October 21, 2010 the OAG filed 10 lawsuits in nine different Indiana Counties against companies offering 100% guarantee that... any home can be saved from foreclosure... calling these assertions false and illegal."

OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, through the Consumer Protection Division and the Licensing Enforcement and Homeowner Protection Unit
