Hello, hello--hello!

As you know, we all live in very tough economic times, and, with these being tough economic times, I'm sure there's a lot of you who are doing modifications on your home loans, and a lot of people are out there saying that they can help you with this task.  However, there's also a lot of con artists out there as well, and many people are not who they claim to be, and they can cost you even more than before you got involved with them.  But there is a way you can tell the difference, and, this being the official "Information Station," I will tell you what to look out for, so that you, and your house, won't get soaked.

First of all, the really great lawyers don't use junk mail or spam to look for new clients.  If anything, you have to go looking for them, usually through the Better Business Bureau's website.  So, if you get anything in the mail that you didn't ask any information for, or someone you didn't contact first, throw it out, because they could be a scam.  Second, the really great lawyers also don't ask for any fees upfront, and they also never, ever, tell you they won't go through with your case until you pay the whole upfront fee.  Great layers and even the good ones always wait until they win your case for you to pay them.  And third, and the most important rule of all, good lawyers never tell you to stop your mortgage payments so that you can pay them their upfront fee.  Everyone on the level always tell you to continue your monthly mortgage payments.

Look, everybody knows that the fakers and frauds are out there, and it's up to each and every single one of us to alert each other to what's going on out there and try to warn everyone so that they won't fall for the okey doke, and help each other keep what we've worked so hard for.  Hope I was of help to you today.

Well, that's all the time we have for this week.  Until next time, be well, stay well, and remember to help the disaster survivors!

Sincerely,




Marley Sue
