My husband had a loan through People's Choice Home Loans, who subsequently sold it to Ocwen. About 2 years ago we were solicited by a 3rd party debt counseler, someone who called himself Professional Credit and Forefront Financial Services, located in West Hartford and Cromwell Connecticut. Long story short, he scammed us, promising to negotiate with our lender to secure a loan modification, to which he never did. In fact what he DID manage to accomplish was filing a pro se appearence and bankruptcy on my husband's behalf, FORGING the documents and his signature, and putting us into strict foreclosure.
Because the law day has passed we keep being told that there is nothing we can do, and apparently Ocwen doesn't care if you've been scammed or not. In contacting the Attorney General's office today (9-14-09) I was informed that there IS in fact a pending criminal investigation, and that really all we can hope for is to be placed on a list of other people that this guy has screwed. While it offers little consolation that he's done this to others, we're still out any money that we could have hoped to used to move or hire an attorney, forcing ME to represent us, starting with a motion to reopen the judgement of strict foreclosure. Evelyn Pierre at Ocwen is the woman I spoke with, and quite frankly she was very VERY rude to me, and the last time I spoke with her, convieniently enough she has no record of such conversation, when I asked for her supervisor, she HUNG UP ON ME. They sure as hell don't seem to care that while my husband is self-employed, he works here at home, as an auto mechanic, so if they take our home, they take away his source of income.
If anyone has any ideas on what avenue I can take now, please PLEASE let me know. I can't let my family become homeless. We have children here, and they can't end up out on the street.
