How Do Mortgage Rescue Scams Work?

A common mortgage rescue con occurs when a company promises to help you avoid foreclosure without the costs and stigma of bankruptcy. Because data about upcoming foreclosures is public information, the company knows that you are in financial distress. They promise the help you get your mortgage current. In reality, however, you are signing your house over to them. They lease it back to you and you make monthly payments. After a few months, they evict you from your home.

Put the Power of the Law on Your Side

If you have signed a mortgage rescue scam contract, you have rights under the Distressed Homeowner's Act (also known as the New Washington Distressed Home Law). Leen & O'Sullivan, PLLC can represent you in court to protect your rights and your property.
