Question by : I paid an lawyer to do a loan modification. It didn’t function, and now my residence is going into foreclosure. I d?
I paid $ 1500 to an attorney for a loan modification (in Florida) and I was told by him not to pay my mortgage. He did not do the modification. Now my house is going into foreclosure and he wants yet another $ 500.00 to represent me. Is there anybody that I can report him to for not doing the function that I asked him to do? I do not want to shed my residence.

The ONLY 1 who can modify your loan is your lender. The lawyer who said he could is a scam artist. Report him to the bar association of your state.
You genuinely although not paying your mortgage was a great concept?

A loan modification is approved by your lender. There is no guarantee that anyone other than your lender is able to approve your modification request.
Anyone else is simply helping you complete the modification documents your lender would send to you.
You indicated he did not do the modification. How do you know if he did the modification or not or if the modification was denied?
Did he present any paper work to you from your mortgage lender indicating you had been denied your applied for modification.
Apparently you have not been looking at the latest news or business program in print media or on TV about obtaining the service of an attorney or loan modification company that would tell you not to pay your mortgage company. This is a no no.
To report this attorney you would have to find the local Bar Association and report questions concerning his legal and moral ethics. You might ask this attorney to give you the documents he submitted to your lender requesting the loan modification.
Contact your mortgage lender to find out if there are programs that are available to you to save your house.
I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.
“FIGHT ON:
He can modify your home. You can’t report him for not doing something that is IMPOSSIBLE in hte first place. Get real.
You need to stop throwing money at him and cough up those funds you thought you coudl just keep to the bank.
Report him for what??? Did he guarantee you…in writing…that he would get a mod. for you??? No…only a lender can approve a mod. It was your choice to hire an attorney…which was stupid on your part.
