I just blogged the story about 21st Century Legal Services operating illegally in several states. Now I want to show you how these creeps get business and swindle homeowners.
Not only is this company using notaries, but they are affiliated with or are the same owners that operate a real estate and investment brokerage in Rancho Cucamonga, California called 21ST Century Real Estate Investment Corporation.
Their website is http://21stcenturylegalservices.com/, if you look in the bottom left hand corner, there is a button that says visit our real estate affiliate. If you click on the button it takes you to this website, http://www.21centuryre.com/.
On the surface this looks like the feeder company that sits in the limelight while their shady loan modification operation sits in the shadows.
They don’t list an address on there website, but I found this one in 1 minute on Google. A company that doesn’t not list their address or the owners of the company is a HUGE RED SCAM FLAG. This is also a DRE requirement.
21st Century Real Estate
9507 Business Center Dr
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
I then went to the DRE license look up home page and found this on the company and the head cockbroker in charge, Sue Mindy Holt. But there is no additional real estate licensees listed under her name.

Emphasize “using” when talking about the notaries 21st calls. They tell the homeowner the notary is their rep. The Notary is not their rep. The notary knows nothing about this disclosure. I feel the notary is sent to give them validation since nothing in this sign up package needs notarization. The notaries 21st targets are the ones that customarily preform loan closings. So Initially there is nothing unusual about the call from the company. Until you see the directions to the notary and the contract for the homeowner. Generally speaking, most professional notary/ loan signers have decided not to do the modification sign ups. Some decided this because 21st is either not paying them or they are paying with a rubber check. Playing bank acct roulette etc.
I was stupid enough to fall for this companys crap at the cost of $1400.00 beside the BBB what can be done
I was refered to this company by a friend, and then I refered one of my wife’s co-worker. My friends house was forclosed, my wife’s co-worker sold in a short sale. I am still here hoping that with ACORN’s free help the bank will modify. I was scammed out of about $ 7,700. 21st Century Real Estate Investment Corp. assured me that they could modify my primary residence, and my rental property. My rental was in pre-forclosure and I had to get it out of pre-forclosure, because my parents, and my siblings live there. On Friday 9/25/09 I heard over the radio that the FBI raided the office of 21st Century Legal Services. I would like to sue them but them, and get my money back.
I heard the cops are investigating this company and the phony Andrea Ramirez. People spread the word and contact the Rancho Cucamonga Police or the San Bernardino County DA and give any info you have on the company, the owners, the employees anything. This has gone on too long.+
I Talk Out About 2.800 Dollars I Hope There can be done About This. Anyone Please Sent Me Help. They Just Cannot Get Away with This Keep Trick Out Of Their Money Something Got To Be Done
I think we should get a class act law suit out against them. At least we could seize their account and assets before they can get away.
Same situation with me…..I have a loan with Wells Fargo & 21st Century Legal Services, told me they could do a modification. I checked with Wells Fargo & they told me 21st Century L S had only contacted them twice……21st Century has direct debited my account for 1800.00$……..Let`s all get intouch with the San Bernardino D A & let that office know about this scam…..
I signed up with 21st century legal services in May 2009. The told me I qualified for a loan modification loan and they woul need for me to predate 3 checks for the amount of $528.80 and after we completed this waiting period they would contact me with further instructions on how to pay my mortgage payments. They also kept changing agents which they kept telling me they would take care of me. I am now going to have to find another place to lkive after I haver lived here for 46 years and have been screwed by these people.
I found out from another source that 21st is under investigation for fraud and scamming. They screwed me, an old lady out of nearly $1,600.00 and kept lying to my daughter who is taking care of my business. She was told the modification had indeed taken place in August, just to find out the mortgage company never received any modification packet for her address. They make you get excited and then pull the rug out from under you after they take your money and lead you on. They are liars and should be prosicuted for scamming senior citizsens.
I was scammed by these people to but we all need to get together and write emails everyday to the california DA office the White House, FBI and who ever else we can write emails to people do be just another victim lets bring these MotherF****R down please write emails everyday….thank you
Write emails everyday about these people to the President, FBI and California Authorities please lets all work together to bring these bastards down…thank you
I was scammed by 21th Century. It stated with a phone call with a friendly voice on the other end. It ended up with them taking 2344.00 of my money. I had to take a hardship loan from my 403B to save my home.
I am a victim of this scam. She used my checks and I have not heared from her since. How can I get my money back since I was not qualified for a loan Modification? Please help I need that money to pay my bills.
Sincerley Arturo
I have my mortgage with Wells Fargo. I received something in the mail from 21st Century Modification. It had an application I was to fax back to them. I did. A man called me and told me they could do a modification. He said they work with Wells Fargo all the time. He said to send them a cashier’s check for $1010 and my loan would be modified immediately and my mortgage would be saved.
I checked with Wells Fargo and they said no they do not work with them and to definitely not give them any money!! I was so lucky to get that info from Wells Fargo, otherwise I would have sent them the money$!! They feed on the old thought “desperate times call for desperate measures”
What really got me was that the BBB has an “A” rating for them!!
