The Answer
Dear Jose,
And yet again we have another website springing up that certainly looks suspiciously similar to National Remedy Center and Remedy Law. See Is National Remedy Center the Same as Remedy Law? – Kevin.
First, let’s start with the fact that you got a mailer. It’s an advertising piece and the purpose is to try to sell you something.
in looking at the website I don’t see the California Bar attorney marketing disclaimer message on the site. There is nothing to indicate that it is actually backed by any attorney license.
I seriously doubt the sales person mentioned anything to you about the Mortgage Assistance Relief Services rule that says that most companies can’t charge an upfront fee.
I also thing you should look at How to Avoid Getting Scammed When Getting Debt Help so you can be better educated about how to protect yourself.
Another post you should read is Is Remedy Law the Same as Prudent Law with Pamela Gerber Gressier? – Karen
If you need mortgage help, instead of falling for an advance fee sales pitch, read How to Modify Your Mortgage for Free.
But let me ask you this, after looking at the information I’ve shared above, what do you think of the situation?
