I started doing business with The Mortgage Law Group in February of 2011.  It is now February of 2012 and I am in forclosure proceedings with my mortgage company.  I do qualify for the programs that are in place because of a loss of income.  I have been trying with my mortgage comapany and through the  attorneys to get this done, but I am still losing my home.
I have been trying to get a hold of my loan specialist and he will not return my phone calls.  I have left several messages.  When I spoke with my mortgage company to see if anyone had been in contact with them from my attorney's office, she said she had not heard from them.  She also said that she was going forward with the forclosure proceedings.  I have had so many numbers for this company and have changed loan officers in this year, that I think that this company has  just a front for their business, and when they recieve the money they don't bother with the paperwork and proceedings needed to get a modification for your loan.

Other consumers, beware!  Do not give money away for a modification.  Always investigate who you are doing business with and remember to always check with the legislators in your state to see if they can help or turn you into a direction that can.  I have contacted the Senator for my district in Michigan, and he said he will contact my mortgage company on my behalf.  We will see what he can do.

Why Isn't Vanderhoof In Jail?

AUTHOR: Another Vanderhoof Victim? - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, March 15, 2012
I was a ex-employee of The Credit Exchange in Orange County, CA.  I saw the massive harm Vanderhoof did with that company and was relieved when I heard about the over $16M judgment that had been awarded innocent people associated with Hess-Kennedy.  I am sure that was ONLY the tip of the ice berg as Steve had numerous companies involved.  The employees at The Credit Exchange were assured that the enrolles were being given excellent advice and successful programs.  We knew that was not true after unfortunate victims would start calling in months later in desperation.  The wiser employees bolted as new opportunities arrived and the more unfortunate employees would stay out of desperation for a mediocre income.  And the employees, believe me, were cheated as much as the consumers were.  I know many ex-employees tried in vain to collect past wages

Then came MoveMyNetWorth after The Credit Exchange crumbled and the doors were closed by the authorities.  I believe when The Credit Exchange closed their doors Steve owed the landlords over at Hutton Centre hundreds of thousands of dollars for back rent on his "penthouse office suites".  MoveMyNetWorth went down the drain quickly as the concept was easily exposed as a convoluted scheme.

The next Vanderhoof adventure was Legal Helpers Debt Resolution in Chicago, their main headquarters.  Legal Helpers Debt Resolution was already in trouble for basically the same reasons as The Credit Exchange.  They brought Steve Vanderhoof to Chicago to escape the heat he was being experiencing in Southern California after The Credit Exchange shut down and they basically needed someone to run their boiler room enrollment operations for debt settlement.  Vanderhoof has no legal background, no legal degree much less even a minimal junior college degree, but this was new fluff to get back into the debt settlement arena.  The laws had changed to try and protect consumers, stating that licensed attorneys could only collect upfront fees for debt settlement.  But Legal Helpers Debt Resolution was and is just as jaded at The Credit Exchange except they are obviously much larger and powerful.

Last but not least with the mortgage foreclosure crisis sweeping over the country, Vanderhoof invented The Mortgage Law Group as the debt settlement arena at Legal Helpers Debt Resolution started to sink.  And remember again, Vanderhoof needed to stay out of California because of The Credit Exchange collection issues from various judgments.  Within virtually less than a year, The Mortgage Law Group has lead into the same diseased path of victims as other Vanderhoof smoke-and-mirror companies. 

You will find many, many reports throughout numerous sites on these companies and 99.9% of the reports are accurate and true stories of innocent consumers that were victimized and lied to which resulted in their original problems becoming the real nightmares they were trying to avoid, i.e. bankruptcies, judgments and foreclosures.  The rare and few "success stories" are fabricated by Vanderhoof company employees for rebuttals.

I am amazed this man can sleep at night, pretending to live the celebrity-party life and also portray a lavish and affluent family lifestyle.  Vanderhoof's bragging on Facebook is almost a slap in the face to the probable hundreds of thousands of people he victimized.  The only remaining loyal followers are fellow employees who will bow to Steve, follow his commands and unfortunately also participate in his reported and well-known drug habits.

I blame our legal system for not stepping in.  I blame The Federal Trade Commission for not putting the brakes on this before his fourth company was born.  If you read this and you have more to include, please do so.

The Mortgage Law Group

AUTHOR: Breah Edwards - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, February 25, 2012

Ii is now the end of February and I have already been contacted by my mortgage lender that I am in forclosure without a sale date yet.  I have not heard from The Mortgage Law Group since the end of December.  I have left numerous messages with no success of a reply.  I have every transaction and paper I faxed to these ripoffs.  One person asked why we have not filed suit against them?  Well I can answer for my family, I have already paid these attorneys $2500 and I do not have the money to move because of forclosure and file a lawsuit against this firm.  I have to choose saving to move, I have children and I will not let them be on the street because of this firm not doing what they were paid for.
