United Law Group issued a statement supporting the government's crackdown on mortgage scams. In addition to offering a full range of foreclosure prevention and foreclosure litigation services, the firm provides honest Americans with the resources to protect themselves from predatory loan modification companies.
Irvine, CA (PRWEB) April 8, 2009 -- United Law Group, the leading provider of legal foreclosure prevention and debt resolution services, commented on the government crackdown on mortgage scams. The firm fully supports the government initiatives in this matter and provides a host of resources for honest Americans on their website.
"Borrowers caught up in the current mortgage crisis are desperate for help," says Sean Rutledge, Managing Director for United Law Group. "Up until now, it's been like the Wild West with unscrupulous loan modification companies sprouting up everyday. The government crackdown sends a clear message: unethical actions will be punished."
United Law Group helps its clients to find a legal resolution to debt-related issues and supports homeowners who've been victimized by predatory "loan modification" companies. They do this by pursuing legal channels not available to average citizens.
"It comes down to the enforcement of rights. Working through the court system law firms like ours can compel a lender to respond to a request," says Rutledge. "If a loan modification company is not a law firm they do not have the ability to legally protect and enforce the client's rights."
The firm is outspoken against the fraudulent companies who are preying on frightened citizens.
"As a law firm we must adhere to a strict set of guidelines that are designed to protect our clients," said Rutledge. "Companies claiming to use an 'attorney' model or touting that they maintain in-house attorneys are not law firms and are not subject to the same requirements as law firms."
To help people to combat loan modification fraud the firm created a section on its website that provides news, provides links to valuable resource, addresses legal statutes by state and offers victims of fraud to file a complaint.
"I'm frequently asked how people can spot a scam loan modification company," says Rutledge. "I tell them to ask the company if they are a law firm and check there answer with the state bar. Don't let them tap dance. If they are a law firm regulated by the state bar, they have to tell you. If they aren't, run, don't walk, away from the company as fast as you can."
United Law Group is registered with the state bars in California, New York, Florida. The firm is registered as associate counsel in Nevada and Ohio.
