NEW YORK — Four New York City homeowners have filed a lawsuit charging they were denied access to a federal home-refinancing program.
The plaintiffs are homeowners in Brooklyn and Queens who have mortgages serviced by Aurora Loan Services.
They are charging that Aurora denied them access to the Obama administration’s Home Affordable Modification Program without valid reasons.
That program is designed to help borrowers refinance their home loans to avoid foreclosure.

My husband and I have also fallen victims of Aurora’s “imaginary” modification process, all to lead you to default and foreclosure so they can then begin to charge outrageous fees and charges and ultimately take your home. I am in touch with very prominent attorney – Niell McCarthy who is very interested in compiling homeowners’ stories throughout the USA to file a class action suit. This attorney has already filed one against another major home loan servicer whose predatory and illegal default and foreclosure practices were exactly as those that Aurora is currently engaged in. My God there are virtually thousands of complaints and stories by homeowners detailing basically the same story and experiences with Aurora. Aurora is not out of modify your loan, they want to lead you into default and foreclosure. That is their motive. They even go to the extent of encouraging you to become late so they can default and foreclose. I know, because one of their representatives told us that the reason why we do not qualify for a modification is because we are making the payments. Once you default, then they offer you a “forbearance” plan all the while they file a default notice without you even getting advance notice as required the real estate regulations. Then they foreclose and sell your home while the homeowner is supposedly under a “forbearance” program. There has been a few success stories when they (Aurora) have been taken to court. There are also MANY federal court caes against Aurora for violation of the truth lending acts and foreclosure laws. Please e-mail me your story at marlenebalmaseda@aol.com. I will send you the article about the class action suit and some other information how to go about filing complaints with the government. If the government officials receive hundreds and thousands of complaints about Aurora’s tactics and how they are misusing the $785 million they received from TARP, they MUST hear us and act on it. Only if you write letters and issue complaints will this non-sense stop. Please e-mail me and I will send you the information. Lets UNITE against these crooks and stop them.
I have an Aurora Loan. Looking for help.
My husband and I are in the same boat.It has been 2+ yrs all run around to find out that we are not able to get are loan modification that they said they would Obama help us with.That we would be able to lower our payment and we would be able to keep our home,instead they came back wanting to give us a regular one modification instead.We have been lied too and them saying to sent all the paper work again and again ,that every time you call a they give you the run around.We are too in desperate need of help all we want is too keep our home for our 6 children and a Class Action suit sounds good.
Tammie, what you need to do is change who who vote for.
