The rep came to my house saying that all would be cared for in the sale of my house, including the title search, and closing etc. The truth was they charged me 3,000.00 for advertising my house on the internet., and the closing cost and other paper work was was a 1% on the cost of the sale of my house. They made me sign a paper I never read, saying it was something other than what it was.
The rep told me I could make payments (4) of 20.00 a month, which in fact it was over 500.00. And when it sold, I could pay the rest out from the sale.
I am a widow of 70 yrs old, and on a fixed income. And when I said to S&S Financial I couldn't make that payment of what they wanted. They charged me a late fee, and put a lien on my house., and this was my first payment that was due.
My home was paid for and had no mortgage, but because of this I had to take out a homeowners to pay this off.
I had no calls no emails about prospective buyers in the 3 months I was on the net. So I wanted out of this contract with them. I was paid up., and had just given 3,000.00 to them for nothing in return.
I had called and never got a return call from them as they were either out of the office, in the hospital, or on the phone or on vacation. This went on for months., or they had no authority to do this.
Now I wanted just to cancel my contract. And with MLS, they will not let me out of the 1% to be pd to them if I sell my house with anyone till next Sept., as they said I signed a contract with them till then., which I wasn't advised of when I signed this paper., of what it was even for...
They are rip offs, and I have written the DBPR and the Attorney Generals ofc, among others.
I cannot afford to get a lawyer, as I have so much invested now., and when I sell I will have to pay more to a real real estate co., plus moving costs. As my health depends on me moving closer to family in Michigan.
I have been a nervous wreck over this transaction. And would love to have these people give me my money back... They can keep some for the advertising, but it sure don't cost 3,000.00 and I want out of this MLS contract that is holding me prisoner in my own home.
Thank you for listening. And God Bless
