We hired, People’s First Financial (PFF) in San Diego, to help us modify our loan. The person who worked for the company, Dan Short, stated that they had a 99% approval rate, worked with our mortgage company in the past, and could our loan modified. They also mentioned that we needed to be at least 2 months late on the mortgage because that would prove a hardship in paying the current loan - we were a month behind at the time. We submitted our application and were given the option to pay $3500 in full, or make payments. We choose payments and made 4 or 5 payments until the balance was paid in full. We complied with all the their request to submit bank statements and other loan related documents to complete the modification. During the process we had a difficult time contacting PFF and would get bounced around from person to person and excuses. After about 4 months we receive a “Sale Date” Notice and contacted PFF. PFF stated not to worry that they could get the “Sale Date” postponed as long as we were current on our property tax, fire and homeowners insurance and that we need to fax it the mortgage company. We were then instructed about 3 weeks later to send $8000 to the mortgage company by Western Union to prevent the foreclosure and get the modification approve. Here is a quote we received from PFF:
“You should have your modification within 10 to 30 business days, when you receive it you need to fax it to me at 858-368-5999”
Then we receive another email stating:
“Well unfortunately they have sold your loan what is your fax number I need to get a new authorization form over to you so you can sign it and fax it back so I can give them a call. Remember the sale was cancelled so lets not worry just yet”.

Then we receive another email from a person claiming to be a Move Out Specialist from PFF stating that they could get us cash to move out or more time in the house.
