HOUSTON – For months, Houston-area homeowners on the verge of foreclosure flocked to a southwest side office building.
“I was several months behind,” said Jose Valladares. “I believe three or four months behind.”
Like hundreds of other Spanish speaking homeowners, Valladares thought a business called Homeowners Legal Assistance could stop his foreclosure.
“They were going to work on my loan modification, they were going to get that approved and I was going to save my home and start making payments on my home,” said Valladares.

I paid over $3500.00 to a company that was supposed to provide home modification assistance, credit counseling and negotiating credit card debt, clean up my credit. It has been since last June. over a year and they have done absolutely nothing to help me. I have had to muddle through everything myself and now I am afraid that my modification will be denied anyway. How do people get away with this. They don’t return calls or they just give lip service and do nothing. What can we do once we have already been taken? Is there anyway that I can report them and get my money back? Please any info would be appreciated.
