Quick Analysis                         Consumer Comments Below

We thought this scam died back in the nineties, but it is alive and well, operating from Huntington Station, from New York. Debt buyers United Abstract Group, Inc., are bottom feeders who use their entity of C. Barry & Associates, LLC, who operate out of the same address to lie, intimidate and totally misrepresent their illegal debt collection practices.

Owners Barry Calvagna and Anthony Picone are about to feel the wrath of the legal system for their blatant disregard for the law and consumer rights. Not to mention the fact that we could NOT locate one state where they are licensed or bonded in.

Calls to their office result in debt collectors who don’t have any answer (they are all operators and not sure if the phones they answer are a law office) to one brazen gutter tramp who insisted they are the law office of Michael Greenberg who files suits on debts. Their notices violate a host of federal and state laws; their accounts are out of statutes, which show how desperate these fools really are.

Take a look below at the incredibly stupid notice they are sending out, see if you can count how many FDCPA violations it has. To say these sewer rats are dumb is an understatement. These folks have NOT a clue of what they are doing; here is what we found on their website:

“These are some of the services that we offer:
  • Title Search and Retrieval
  • Real Estate Closings
  • Debt Sales And Acquisitions
  • Charge-off Credit Card Debt Recovery
  • Medical Self Pay/Insurance Claims Recovery
  • Education/Tuition Recovery”
“We offer investment opportunities for the serious investor.”

If you cannot even send out a letter that is in compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, how in the world can you make money doing what they claim, above? … (I had to keep asking myself…”How could anyone be this dumb?)
A SERIOUS INVESTOR would need a LOT of money to pay their legal fees because our impression of these dummies is they can’t do anything right, they have unprofessional and under-trained collectors working for them and who uses this scam anymore?

Take a look at what they are sending out from the old, worthless, out of statute portfolios they are desperately trying to collect on because it’s hard to believe that any debt collector is really this STUPID!             
 
CONSUMER WARNING: DO NOT to fall for this scam! These liars and assorted idiots are incapable of taking any actions.  Contact us if you need assistance and referral to REAL lawyers in dealing with this trash. 
CAUTION: I recommend you NEVER disclose your bank account or credit card information to a debt collector, as you risk them emptying your account, or maxing out your credit card. If you feel they are reporting on your credit bureau files in error or need assistance in dealing with them, email  the details w/your location.  Assistance and referral to a consumer legal specialist may be available.

News Center – Springhill Group Home Loans : Home Loan Modifications – Aid Or Scam?

Home Loan Modifications – Aid or Scam?
test4Bank Pirates!
Vinnieby Vince Meehan Editor, Mission Valley News(Mission Valley News, San Diego, CA) – Southern California has been hit hard by the housing crisis and many San Diegans are in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure if that hasn’t happened already. Many homeowners have enrolled in loan modification programs offered by their banks in hopes of reducing their monthly mortgage payments to an affordable amount. These programs were enacted at the request of the government as compensation to the American public who’s taxpayer money was used to bail out these large banks in 2008 as a result of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. But people in the programs have had no success in lowering their payments, and feel as if the banks never had any intention of modifying loan payments from the beginning.Echoing that sentiment is attorney Jason L. Jones of Avatar Legal, P.C., who sees a lot of the misery endured by homeowners as a bankruptcy specialist. Jones contends that the banks have no incentive to modify loans, so they don’t. Since the mortgages are bought and assigned to a trust outside of the banks, they do not suffer if a foreclosure happens. Indeed, it is more profitable for the banks to foreclose on property because of the fees and surcharges involved, typically around $30,000 per foreclosure. Anytime property changes hands, fees are paid to all sorts of companies such as appraisal, title, and escrow. And many times, these companies are actually owned by the banks, so everybody makes out. It creates a situation where the banks actually try to force foreclosure instead of modify the loan. So the homeowner loses as well as investors of the trust which often includes groups like public servant unions and teachers unions who invested into the trusts as a part of their pension programs.What bothers Mr. Jones is that if you do apply for a loan modification, the banks will start the foreclosure process at the same time. Jones says that these two processes occur “parallel” to each other, happening at the same time. And the homeowner is not aware that the foreclosure process has begun. He says many people hold off on paying their mortgage during this process, and the banks start piling up late fees that return to haunt the homeowner.In 2009, the government created the Making Homes Affordable program which was supposed to create relief for homeowners in danger of losing their homes. Underneath this umbrella is the Home Affordable Modification Program known as HAMP in which banks were supposed to streamline the modification process. But participation in Making Homes Affordable is strictly voluntary for the banks and there is no penalty for refusing to participate. That aside, homeowners are reporting that even the banks who claim to be participating in the program are not serious and play games instead.
  • In the loan modification process, the banks create a win less scenario where countless forms are filled out, receipts mailed in, and then promptly lost by the banks. The process is drawn out over time and the foreclosure clock is ticking the entire time. The sentiment is echoed by countless homeowners who have applied for loan modifications to no avail. Indeed, finding a homeowner who has actually succeeded in a loan modification is impossible. Stated one homeowner, “Whether they are calling it HOME, HOPE, or HAMP, the loan modification program is a complete joke and a lie to the American people.” As the National Taxpayer Union puts it, “HAMP has proven to be a colossal failure that has done more to harm than help debt-laden homeowners.”
  • This frustration has led to public anger that has manifested itself in public demonstrations such as Occupy Wall Street and Occupy San Diego. Lorena Gonzalez, Treasurer-Secretary/CEO for the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council recently organized a rally downtown  for “Withdrawal Wednesday” where citizens were encouraged to withdraw their savings from large national banks as a protest. She says that after the bailouts, banks hoarded the money and did not use it to help ease the mortgage crisis as promised. So she and others across the county asked people to withdraw money from large national banks and deposit it in local credit unions. Said Gonzales, “After the bailout, the banks continued to foreclose on homes and CEOs got huge bonuses. This fueled the anger that resulted in “Occupy Wall Street and Occupy San Diego.” She added that these foreclosed homes also began to create blight in neighborhoods, so this even effected homeowners not involved in foreclosure.
  • Gonzales is currently trying to pursue legislation that would fine the banks of foreclosed homes for any code violations, but that it is currently stalled in committee. Gonzales said that the banks don’t like the legislation, and the banking lobby is is even more powerful than the union lobby in Sacramento. Mission Valley News asked Gonzales if she was aware of any of her constituents who achieved a loan modification, and she said she could not think of any who were successful. Mission Valley News could not find one example of a successful loan modification.
  • But even if you do qualify for a loan reduction (which is a feat in itself) and jump through the hoops laid out by the banks, you run a good chance of having your payment actually increase as a result. In many cases, one of the terms of beginning a loan modification is to pay into an “escrow fund” where the banks pay off your home owners insurance and property taxes in advance. This actually makes your payment far more expensive at a time which couldn’t be worse. Failure to pay this escrow will result in late fees and default.
  • Jason Jones says “Right now, the loan modification process goes hand in hand with the foreclosure process because most banks will not consider a loan modification unless the borrower is in default. The homeowner has to stop paying on the mortgage before the bank will talk to him. Only then is he allowed into the modification process. Meanwhile, the bank begins increasing the amount owed by the homeowner by tacking on late fees and penalties, will start making collection calls, and will decrease the homeowner’s credit score. The bank will also file a notice of default, which is the first step in the foreclosure process.”
  • Jones adds “Being in the loan modification process prevents the individual homeowner from facing the actual underlying problem which is the need to move to more affordable housing. As a result, the affected homeowner makes poor decisions and their emotional and physical health can suffer as a result of the false hope offered by a bank’s home loan modification program.” The message he wants to get out is the futility of loan modifications and the reality of foreclosure which is inevitable. Jones says that as a bankruptcy lawyer, his issue with the loan modification programs is the false hope that they create. He said it would create better financial health as well as mental health if the homeowners knew the truth about losing their homes.

News Center – Springhill Group Home Loans : Rates For Home Loans And Savings Could Swing Again

News Center – Springhill Group Home Loans

The deteriorating situation in Europe has increased the chances of a December interest rate cut.
Australian banks are coming under increasing pressure from the ensuing European debt crisis, and have become nervous about lending to each other because of their exposure to risky European debt. Consequently, there are concerns about the risks if the Reserve Bank does not cut interest rates, with the next opportunity not until February. The Reserve Bank Governor, Glenn Stevens, ramped up the pressure on European leaders to find a swift solution to the crisis, saying that “the damage to us and everyone else will be unacceptable”.
It is not immediately clear, though, whether banks will be so eager to pass on the full benefits of any such cuts to consumers. The recent interest rate cut saw every major bank reduce theirhome loan rates by the full 0.25% with the exception of NAB, who faced strong criticism for their decision to offer less.
However, Australian banks are facing higher costs of funding due to the rising cost of lending across global money markets. It is suspected that these costs will be passed onto consumers by not passing on the full benefit of central rate cuts.
Therefore, it is predicted that the Reserve Bank’s committee will have to cut interest rates by a bigger margin if it hopes to see any monetary benefit reach consumers.
One advantage for the consumer is the legislation meaning that home loans can now be transferred without exit fee, ensuring a greater level of competition between retail banks.
It may be the right time to consider Which4U’s current savings account rates, in case these are set to fall in the near future.

News Center – Springhill Group Home Loans:Fed Seen Buying $545B of Home-Loan Debt : Report

News Center – Springhill Group Home Loans

By Joseph Woelfel

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — The Federal Reserve is poised to start a new round of stimulus,Bloomberg reported, citing the biggest bond dealers in the U.S.
The Fed will inject more money into the economy next quarter by purchasing mortgage securities instead of Treasuries, the bond dealers said. The Fed may buy about $545 billion in home-loan debt, Bloomberg said.
The Fed bought $2.3 trillion of Treasury and mortgage-related bonds between 2008 and June.
Separately, Bloomberg reported the Fed and big banks fought for more than two years to keep details of the largest bailout in U.S. history a secret. Now, the rest of the world can see what it was missing, Bloomberg said, based on 29,000 pages of Fed documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and central bank records of more than 21,000 transactions.
According to Bloomberg Markets magazine’s January issue, the Fed didn’t tell anyone which banks were in trouble so deep they required a combined $1.2 trillion on Dec. 5, 2008, their single neediest day; bankers didn’t mention they took tens of billions of dollars in emergency loans at the same time they were assuring investors their firms were healthy; and no one calculated until now that banks got an estimated $13 billion of income by taking advantage of the Fed’s below-market rates.
Fed officials say almost all of the loans were repaid and there have been no losses, but details suggest the secret funding enabled the biggest banks to grow even bigger, according toBloomberg.
The six biggest U.S. banks — JPMorgan Chase(JPM_), Bank of America(BAC_),Citigroup(C_), Wells Fargo(WFC_), Goldman Sachs(GS_) and Morgan Stanley (MS_)which received $160 billion from the Troubled Assets Relief Program, borrowed as much as $460 billion from the Fed, Bloomberg calculated, citing data obtained from the Fed.
