I was seriously considering the deal, but starting getting a few of those red flags. (hotmail would send their emails straight to my junk folder...I sent two emails...both were answered with the same automatic response, there was some discrepancies with his "tour of duty" since there are no indication of further troups being deployed to Kandahar...etc.) Anyway...searched online and couldn't find much...except this post which almost described word for word my situation. Thank you for sharing! You've just saved me a bundle! Thank Goodness for your post!

Oh yeah, you can't do that because everything in the post is accurate and factual. Homophobic - no Ammiano just proposes bad legislation. Don't believe sexual orientation has anything to do with that. But thanks for stopping by. Hmmm, instead of name calling, why don’t you actually point out the areas where I am misinformed?

I have an FHA loan with Guild Mortgage as my servicer. If Guild excepts my income as enough to modifiy then I would go into a 3 month trail to see if I can make payments. Yet I owe back payment. KeepYourHomeCalifornia stated that if I am excepted for modification and make it through the trail period then I do not quilify for the program of 15,00 to get caught up on my loan. Come to find out all bank are wanting to put those who do quilfy for a modification on some sort of a trail 3 to 4 months. So who can get help from that? Also FHA did not sign up for the reduction even though my servicer did, so I do not quilfiy for that either. Who can KeepYourHomesCalifornia HELP? Really I do not see how they are helping anyone.

OSHA states after 15 to 20 years of even low exposure, silicosis( inability to breathe) happens. 155 local doctors signed individual petitions against Liberty Quarry were presented to Commission.

Wow, these attorneys are something else. We know all lawyers are lyers and stealers. Now all of a sudden these attorneys are becoming ethical? The state bar is probably trying to hide the fact that the banks are finally being caught red handed and someone is paying this guy to make it seem as if Michael Pines is a crook and no one should believe him! It's hard to trust anyone no a day. Let's trust the attorneys from the state bar now. They have just turned ethical!!! Yeah right they are all crooks! The state bar going after their own people.

Loser didn't show up. Judge dismissed with prejudice and invited me to file my motion for fees, costs, and sanctions. His client had lost her duplex through foreclosure, and while under his representation, his client rented one unit out without disclosing the fact that she no longer owned the property. He had his client file a frivolous unlawful detainer against the renters for paying their rent to actual owner. Now he is facing a motion for sanction, fees and costs which I assume he will blow off like he did every other hearing along the way. What a loser! I can only imagine what he is telling his client. She is going to get hit hard with costs, and if she doesn't know what's going on, she is going to find out soon! When I returned to my office from the trial, I had an email from Mr. Pines with attached letter threatening that he has decided that there is more money in suing my firm then my client, and that he was going to be filing a class action lawsuit against my firm for violation of the fair debt collection act! This guy is out to lunch! Of course, that letter is right in front for the judge to read when he reviews our motion for fees/sanctions. I just had a trial against Pines in Beverly Hills Courthouse.

When they said they would ship the vehicle on their expense I knew this had to be a scam for sure. Plus, a truck like that wouldn't sit for that long at a low low price they were asking for.
