Stay away - I am amazed he is still in business

I paid $1,895 to Michael S. Duggan who said to be working with the company name Credits Best Solutions to stop foreclosure on my house.Michael said his team would conduct a “mortgage violation audit” in which they would review loan documents to find bank violations and promised they would stop the fo...reclosure. I sent him all the docs. He demanded further $1,500 to pay to the attorney, Jason Allan Smith who was going to review my foreclosure file. After a debate and hearing lot of promises from Michael and Jason, I paid another $1,500. None of them did any work on my file. They did not even answer my phone calls after getting my $3,395. Occasionally, when Jason did answer he would come up with some excuses like he contacted the opposite side’s attorney but got no response! Of course, my house was foreclosed. Instead of stopping the foreclosure these guys shoved me into eviction. Surprisingly, Michael demanded another $900 to stop eviction!! Stay away from these thieves.

Don't use Jason Smith

Buyer beware. Jason Smith gladly took my money up front but then all but disappeared. I received virtually no assistance from them in getting my mortgage re-modification. Thanks to them, I am literally in a much worse position than if I had never used them at all.

Not recommended

I was referred to Jason who initiated the process. I sent a $3650 money order for his help in getting a loan modification on my upsidedown loan and didn't hear back for 1.5 months. I had to email daily/weekly for updates to get their attention and paid an additional $400 appraisal fee to one of his... vendors to "guarantee" the loan modification. I even got convinced to pay another $1k to try a second time with no results after the first attempt produced a denial. I was told they would try a 3rd time for free and never heard back. PLEASE just work with your local loan officer to get help for free. I just completed HARP 2.0 with our local loan officer at Wells and have a much lower payment than before. You can find help from other homeowners here: http://www.loansafe.org/home-loans I keep regretting how much money I spent on these services. =(

Solid & Reliable

I was referred to Jason by a friend of mine who had a very good experience. I had tried getting help from my lender on my own and kept getting the run around for nearly 2 years. Jason very quickly was able to get the lender to stop harassing me. Jason was able to get me a very good modification th...at I am very happy with. I am no longer in fear of losing my home and I have a payment that I can actually afford each month.

Waste of Time and Money

Made promises to get a loan modification in a 60-90 day window. We are still waiting after a year. Save your money and do it your self. Someone will sue this firm!!
