LP Advocates

Review: I was contacted by this company,for getting rid of my mortgage company or making two mortgages into one and/or being refinanced with much lower interest rates to get our home out of foreclosure.My wife and I was told to send money orders totaling $1,988, in which we did in (5) money orders. We were given a date to start new modification payments and called to verify one week before due date, only to find out that we were still in foreclosure and due to be in court next day,because mortgage company never made arrangements and never received any monies.When trying to contact LP Advocates, every number that previously we had talked to contacts,no one could be reached and recordings always stated that mailboxes are full, since May 28,2014. We have copies of signatures,money order receipts,certified mail receipts and FedEx receipts.We have had to pay this amount plus more,but now after contacting our Mortgage Company and showing them our receipts, they have decided to work along with us and actual modification arrangements have been made.Desired Settlement: We would like to have our money returned and court actions if possible. We were scammed, even though we thought we had been careful in checking out this supposed business.

Review: [redacted] I was contacted by a company calling themselves "LP Advocates", by direct mail. They advertised that they were mortgage relief specialists. When I called them over the phone they explained they could modify our mortgage and lower our monthly payment through the HAMP program. After filling out all the necessary financial documents as they requested, they informed me that we qualified for the program. They gave us a new payment schedule and we made the payments on time as laid out by them. Last week we received a foreclosure notice from our mortgage company. I have been calling LP Advocates daily (6 days straight) trying to find out why we have received a foreclosure notice after being accepted into the program and making our payments on time. No one has answered the phones, or returned our calls after leaving numerous messages. I called our mortgage company and asked them why we have received a foreclosure notice after being accepted into the program and making timely payments. They had no idea what I was talking about and said they hadn't received any of our mortgage payments totaling ($4,589.13) from LP Advocates or the HAMP program as of this date (6/13/14). Payments were made to LP Advocates Default Dept on 3/22/14, 4/25/14, and 5/30/14. All payments were sent by us through UPS Express shipping with tracking numbers. I called the Fountain Valley Police Department. They informed me the address I was sending the money to is a dentists office not a mortgage company. So I googled the address I sent the payments to (11037 Warner Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708) and it is a "Mail Center Plus", not a mortgage company. I called the "Mail Center Plus" listed at this address and spoke to the owner ([redacted], phone [redacted]). He informed me that the "Suite 225" is not an actual office suite, but simply a post office box that he rents out to various customers. He also informed me that "225" is not the correct mailbox address of the "Default Dept." company we have been sending our payments to. The correct numerical mailbox address is "255". The name of the company that rents that "255 mailbox" is "Default Dept." When Mail comes in with the "wrong" mailbox number, [redacted] places it in the correct mailbox and has the person who picks it up initial it to ok it. He also mentioned that "Default Dept. " has 24 hour access to their mailbox.At this point I am convinced we have been scammed out of our mortgage payments by this fraudulent company posing as mortgage relief specialists. Please help us!! We have (3) young children (6,4, and 1 yrs old) and cannot afford to become homeless due to outright theft from these sg parasites. We have 30 days to respond to this foreclosure notice. Sent from my iPadDesired Settlement: I want all money returned immediately!! And for these impostors to be prosecuted for fraud, theft, and false advertising!!
