I wish I would have known about you, Trevor Sines, before I was seduced into this legal scam by Chase! I warn everyone I come into contact with, to avoid applying for a modification. The man I originally spoke with at Chase was helpful and OFFERED this new not so wonderful plan to me. I thought a weight was lifted off my shoulders, instead they replaced it with one that was about 8 thousand lbs/ dollars heavier! I have cried, coward into a corner, and lost sleep over this whole delimma. I am very proud of the work you do for others and I am cheering you on every minute you are on the phone with them! I hope they cowar in a corner when they hear your name and know it’s you on the phone. I feel connected to all the others that comment about this horrible company, and it THRILLS me that someone is actually fighting back! I hope there are more of you who take pride in their job and do what is right!

Persistance is key! I’ve had clients that I’ve worked with for over 2 years before we completed their modification. If you are dealing with Bank of America or Chase, this is perfectly normal…and it sux! But stick in there and don’t get discouraged. If they ask you to send them more paperwork don’t fight it, just send it. Hope this helps!

What happens when you do your home work and do everything that is told of you and work with the second and third party companys, and be stuck in modicifation hell for two years, and still just going round and around in an endless maze of stress and madness.???

Anyone have any advise.

Thanks

I’ve heard nightmare stories about Chase, and am glad you wrote this blog post Trevor. A reputable third party can make a big difference when you are dealing with a pit of vipers like Chase Home Loans. Keep up the important work you are doing.

Brandon, you are absolutely right when it comes to researching any company you choose to do business with. But that shouldn’t be specific to just the mortgage modification industry, it goes for every industry as there are bad apples in every bunch.

If you do your homework on the HAMP program, on your mortgage company, and, on the third party companies you might do business with, you should end up on the right side of this process. If you don’t do your homework, unfortunately, you may get taken advantage of by your mortgage company or by your third party.

I am glad to hear that there are actually 3rd party companies out there that arent scams. Unfourtunetly 50% of the companies are and charge outragious fees and rip off clients everyday. I am glad that Chase warns people of this because no where in this article mentions that. Everyone needs to do their homework in life and double check everything that is told to you. I would never put my life or future in anyone’s hands but my own. If you can find a honest 3d party company that is truely trying to help out it is a huge advantage.

Thanks Greg! It would be nice if the banks did what they were supposed to do for struggling homeowners but unfortunately that isn’t the case. That is why self education is a must when it comes to a mortgage bailout.
