4 New York Homeowners Sue Aurora Loan Services

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.

    To: Aurora Loan victims
    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 COME TO FIND OUT WITH LESS THAN A MONTH THEY HAD A SALE DATE FOR MY HOME, BASED ON THE FACT, THEY SAID I MISSED 3 PAYMENTS IN 2008. I SENT PROOF OF CANCELED CHECKS, CALLED THEIR LOCAL OFFICE, THEIR MAIN OFFICE, HIRED AN ATTORNET, AND I AM STILL 11 MONTHS LATER BEING ASKED TO RENEW MY WORK OUT PROGRAM, OR THREAT OF SALE IN JUNE!!!

    My family has also been victim of the Aurora “scam.” My husband was a drywall taper. In 2007 his work was beginning to dwindle down. He was going from working 6 days a week to possibly 4 days a week. Then in early 2008, as his work fell even further, our mortgage loan adjusted up and raised our payments another $300 per month. Before we fell behind we too tried to get help from Aurora. We too were told they could not help until we were 3 months behind. So, foolishly, we too fell behind. At this point, we were lucky if my husband had 3 days of work per week. Everything came crashing down and we did what we had to to get by. Finally, in Oct my husband found a different, stable job with a steady income (at a 50% cut in pay) and we continued trying to work with Aurora to save our home. We did everything we were told. We even made “out of reach” payments for 3 months under a “forebarence agreement.” Then, they RAISED our payment. We worked with our local CDA office as well as Housing Preservation lawyers in Minnesota. We also sent a letter to the US Treasury. They “looked into it.” I received a copy of the letter that Aurora sent to the US Treasury. It explained how they “did workout a modification” for us. Yeah, right. If we can’t afford the first payment that we are trying desperately to modify, how on this planet are we going to be able to afford the new modification that RAISES the payment by another $300 a month??? A few months ago I received a letter from the US Treasury saying they were satisfied that Aurora did all they could to help us. WHATEVER!! I am in on a classaction suit. We have to be out of our home in a month and I can’t find anywhere to live. I have 3 kids. What am I supposed to do? These monsters get to steal my home, take advantage of a bad situation and we are left on the streets? They need to be taken down before they can hurt anyone else.

    I bought my home, property for $845k when I asked Aurora, to modify the loan, they put me on a forbearance agreement for 18 months paying them, they went ahead and foreclosed on me anyway, even though I can afford it.

    Those thieves preferred to sell the property at 435k then to modify and keep me paying at the a lower rate 4.9% than the thieving rate of 11%
    A new buyer will be on 3.9%

    I am thrown out of my home my neighbors’ homes are reduced in value thanks to AURORA!
    I gave back the property in corporate condition.

    I have decided to sue them.
    I have spoken to an attorney and will be filing soon hopefully.
    I have worked on a lawsuit previously, it is very tedious and it can take up to three to five years, but patience will prevail.

    I ask you now who is the Scum,
    AURORA!
    We the People, DO NOT want to bail them out, nor do we want to work with them.

  14. HBSS Law says:

    Aurora Loan Services LLC may have deceived homeowners into “workout agreements” that gave them false hope of avoiding a default on their mortgages, according to a new lawsuit These “workout agreements” allegedly duped homeowners into paying tens of thousands of dollars for months on end while the company purported to work on their behalf to secure loan modifications.

    I work with attorneys at HBSS who represent homeowners in California in a class action suit against Aurora Loan Services. If you believe you were deceived by Aurora Loan Services, you should contact them at hbsslaw.com/aurora.
