US Loan Auditors review: Company reviews 884

Run from this "company". ABC Nightly News did an expose story on them on November 28 that outlined the fraudulent practices of this organization. A representative of the Federal Trade Commission said that it is a disreputable company preying on vulnerable homeowners.

Run from this "company". ABC Nightly News ran an expose of this organization on November 28 that detailed its dishonest preying upon vulnerable homeowners. A rep of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) noted that the company provides no services of value to consumers that pay thousands of dollars to it. It's a scam.

Officials: New Foreclosure Scam Preys on Desperate Homeowners In October, California Attorney General Jerry Brown sued U.S. Loan Auditors, its legal arm My U.S. Legal Services and the companies' owners for $60 million, accusing them of scamming hundreds of homeowners out of anywhere from several thousand dollars to, in one case, $55, 000.

Thanks for the recent comments, glad ABC finally did the story, most of us here already know about USLA, more then we wish. Too bad the local media is so greedy that they looked the other way when scammed homeowners were complaining to them. The sad news is this has taken so long, the owners have had a lot of time to hide assets, the only justice would be prison.

I do have to say seeing Shane Barker's face on the world news labeled as a scam sits good with me! I do hope they do some time for everything they created! Justice will prevail!

Lucky Dog i so agree with you.. I actually sent over information to two diff news stations and both ignored it. I even had a reporter take me off facebook.. A little crazy. Thankfully Kurtis Ming jumped on it and helped to bring it public.. I'm so very greatful for that!

Here's the direct link to see Shane Barkers face!

So sixtela were you the one who provided Mr. Ming employees #'s?

USLA Back in court on December 15th! Downtown Sacramento. If anyone wants to watch!

What happens to or what happened with that class action filed before the Jerry brown one?

Thx ddiner: Can you plz post the time and location?

I'm sure a lot of us would love to see the [censor] at court.

From the latest news 10 story: "But the bankruptcy attorney representing the two companies told News10 the federal filings represent the best chance for clients to recover money they believe is owed to them because all the companies' assets had been frozen by the state court.

"They are subjecting themselves to the rigorous scrutiny of the bankruptcy court. They want to administer the remaining funds appropriately, " said attorney Austin Cooper.

Cooper estimated as many as 2, 700 homeowners had dealt with the two companies and he insisted most were satisfied with the results.

"There's a whole cadre of people whe were satisfied that it's not a scam, " he said.

Cooper suggested homeowners who believe they are entitled to a refund file a claim with the US Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California"

Let me say this, BS. "most of the 2700 were satisfied with the results"? After all this, that has to be the dumbest comment I have ever heard. Is that what they are going to argue in court? Will they bring in fake clients to testify that? I have not heard ONE client that was happy, and if there was, that person would have been a poster for usla on every corner. We need to all show up and let the court know how angry we are, USLA is still acting like it's some sort of joke. really got me boiling right now!

So wonder what this means to al that have filed with Attorney General. I can't believe what [censor] this company is and Sandison... you deserve a jail cell.

They are all [censor]! Jim is constantly trying to work someone into something...

"Cooper suggested homeowners who believe they are entitled to a refund file a claim with the US Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California"

We requested refunds. We filed with the BBB and you denied wrong doing. We complained to the A.G. office and USLA gets smacked with a lawsuit. Now Cooper suggests we file another claim. How the heck does he think a refund is going to settle the losses already suffered. If USLA was so sharp to find lawyers to fight the lenders then why are they depending on bankruptcy lawyers to bail them out? It's not actually a question here I'm asking. It's all part of their scam. Suffer a few losses, pay a few fines, and open up shop somewhere else.

You are right Steve. Plan "B" has been initiated. Only Jail time will stop these [censor].

2, 700 satisfied customers what planet is he living on? Is he related to Barker/ Pulvino/ Sandison

Somebody CALL KURTIS...we need to stop them too before other fall victim! Kurtis save us again!

Hello Complaint Board,

My name is David Hood...

I have nothing to do with any scam office.
It seems rather stupid that I have to defend myself regarding this, but, here it is.
I simply purchased a web domain at godaddy for $9.99…That’s it. It was an impulse buy and I may use it in the future. I have no idea if I’ll ever use it for business. If I someday do, I will be 100% legal and by the book.

The website hosting isn’t even paid for…It was a free trial that came with an order I placed for magnetic refrigerator calendars from Vist Print.com. Check it out if you like!
Since my phone number has been advertised to the entire planet…Feel to call me and I’ll share any facts with you regarding my integrity and my future business plans. Owning a website domain that has the word audit in it, does not mean I’m looking to scam anyone. It doesn’t mean anything. It's a virtual domain...

Those of you that have met me, should know the type of character I possess.
There is no office and no company…Nadda, zilch!
Also, I have no business relationship or connection with Jarrod Lamar or Nick Lucia.
Absolutely no connection…None, nothing.
Somebody has way to much free time...
I understand your concerns, but please check a little deeper before jumping to conclusions. I don’t enjoy having to defend myself from an invisible false attacker.
Pick up the phone, like the old days and discuss your allegations, first…It appears you have my phone number.
Please take note, I resigned from US loan Auditors. I resigned less than a week after being given a 30% raise in salary. If I was out to scam people, I would have stayed on until the wheels fell off. Leaving a job during a recession is not usually advised. I left because, it was the right thing to do.

Again, please contact me directly before publically slandering me on the web.
That’s all I got!
Be well and best wishes,
David Hood

David: so u don't work for United Pro audit? And how can any of us trust you after all your lies? If you're so innocent, why don't you tell us some details about the USLA scam? Maybe you are not even Hood. When did you know it was a scam? who was the mastermind, give us some insight.

David: Are you working with the Attorney General ?

Hood wrote: " I have nothing to do with any scam office"

You had a lot to do with USLA and they were a scam office, are you denying that?

And somehow by chance you were linked to here Mr. Hood to defend your website. How is that? Were you Google searching your own name under fraud or scam? Or have you always been here observing posting comments debating when USLA was going to get caught?

You have no intention on using the website yet it's posted for anyone to call you for an audit. But then again it was posted yesterday and now it's not. Why is that? Why'd you take it down? Doing maintenance?

Your should be well aware by now that you need to be registered at the attorney generals office to do any kind of foreclosure consulting in the State of California. Did you register when posting the site? Ten bucks for a domain sounds like peanuts compared to the amount you would have made in audits.

You should realize at least by now that peoples homes and their remaining life savings are gone due to this so called financial crisis. Most of all, when savings and the home is gone the relationship and any future a couple might of had is gone too. So yes, when you post a new service that might be in question. You'd better be thinking that we are pissed and we will be coming after you. Not for ourselves but to make sure your not scamming any other elder, mid age, or any young couple under heavy stress struggling to find help.

Does anyone know Hood's phone number? Since he no longer seems to want to respond here.

Luckydog,

Please call me. [protected].

Best,
David Hood

I will, so Hood, why can't u answer the questions i posted? I have never ever heard an ex-employee say they were sorry, or admit guilt. Why is that?

I did talk to David Hood, and really think he was an employee that was scammed. The plan did involve keeping a lot of employees in the dark, I feel comfortable to say Hood was one of them.

Thank you for that Luckydog!
As we discussed, I've sent several letters and emails to both the Attorney General and call Kurtis. People need to know that the lower level employees where being sold a bill of goods as well. That is precisely why, I resigned.
As we also discussed, doing a mortgage document audit is not predatory. Selling it as a means of protecting a home owner from foreclosure is.
My intent as a real estate professional is to follow the letter of the law and assist attorneys only, when it come to offering auditing services. I have been in the industry for many years and I've always protected my clients first. As I told you, I'm an open book and have nothing to hide. You're welcome to call me again, anytime you like and I will be upfront and honest with you.

I truly appreciate you calling me this evening.
Sincerely,
David Hood

I did call this company, that Nick Lucia is involved: It's a total scam, it's as if you went back in time and called US Loan Auditors, they give you the same spill over the phone, this company needs to be reported:
Nationwide Loan Auditing
Toll Free: [protected]

Sacramento Address:

10301 Placer Lane, Ste. 200

Sacramento, CA 95827

and Jerod LaMar has set up shot in Sterling Heights, MI under the same name, Nationwide Loan Auditing. The phone number there is [protected] . The AG in Michigan needs to be warned. You can email the Attorney General in Michigan at miag@michigan.gov

I emailed them, but I'm sure you realize they only pay attention when several on the same subject come in. Thank you. Also here locally, we need to make our contacts about Lucia's latest adventure.

Instead of calling every AG individually, why not go to the FBI or Treasury, since it is now clearly an interstate problem.

Superior Court will hear the matter regarding the filing of the Bankruptcy to stop the State of California from moving forward with the lawsuit. This is set for 9 o'clock on December 17th Department 54. I think everyone involved with this company who knows they did wrong to the public should be there! They need to go to jail. Channel 13 will probably be there as well. Maybe everyone can tell Kurtis Ming personally "Thank you" for covering this story to help expose these crooks.

For those Fraud Investigators who were still selling this crap referred to as the "Bad Apple" to the public, BEWARE. Really, David, you had to idea? Ummmm, I find that BS! In fact I know personally it is BS. Dont anyone be fooled by his story! You say you are a professional that has been in the business for a long time? Yep, you know. You just quit because everyone saw this coming. DONT BE FOOLED BY HIS WORDS.
If anyone has read the declarations filed in court on this case they will see there were undercover agents going in acting like potential clients. BUSTED REDHANDED.

Thx ddiner, do you know the address for this court? Thanks for the info. and advice about Hood.

LuckyDog444, the adddress is 720 9th Street, Sacramento

One more thing, I want everyone to know that while I worked at USLA, everyone knew about the complaint board website and was reading it. Everyone knew that clients were showing up in the lobby everyday demanding their money back. There was buzz about it all the time. For those people who did not do what they should have done, quit!, shame on them! The turn around at this place was crazy! That is because people were getting smart and feeling like this was a scam! The stories we were getting from management were very vague and unable to verify. Alot of people knew that the State Bar and AG's office were investigating. It is called greed and reflects the times we are in. Fraudulent people all around. Everyone needs to be aware!
Does anyone know what Dan Fleetwood is up to? Haven't seen his name on here at all?

ddiner,

Any idea, guess, on how many employees were foreclosed borrowers fighting the cause and how many were in the financial industry such as real estate or ex-mortgage brokers chasing the greed?

I usually don't get involved in posts but I find this one a "great" morning read with my coffee. I applaud you all for coming forward and fighting the good fight. We all knew this day would come, but I encourage all of you to be very careful with your posts. By using names you're opening yourselves up to possible lawsuits against yourselves for "Libel and Slander". If this David Hood or Roland or dan whatevern his dam name is want to they could come after you and YOU'D be in the courtroom next to USLA. Keep it up all of you, this con needed to be shut down. Hopfully the people will have their day in court.

greetings USLA did file a lawsuit against me personally I was out there with a huge sign on my truck protesting everyday for weeks.They were out there everyday video taping me, harrassing me and even staged a huge protest against me on a friday. When you tell the truth about the company and its owners it's not slander or libel. They finally realized even after filing a suit against me I was not going away, they settled and dropped the lawsuit. My goal was to get a refund of the money I had payed them and also to let other people know my story so that they could make there own decision about whether or not to hire this company. Mr. Pulvono approached me while I was out there protesting and stated he would never give me a refund no matter how much it cost his company because in his words what his company was doing was totally legal and ethical. I drove from Auburn everyday and spent 6-8 hrs each and everyday out there because I believed what this company was doing was totally at best unethical and I did not want anyone else to suffer as I did and many others.

gamblingbob99. AKA Mr. Robert J******* Bravo young man. I saw a copy of their complaint against you. I'm not saying that you can't speak ill of the principals of a company by no means. What I'm trying to convey to some of these indivuals is that they're using employee names. These employess have been found guilty of no crimes. If, in the future, they are denied a job OR lose money or are caused physical harm based on something posted here, they could press complaints board to legally give up the "blogger's" IP and/or additional ifno and then sue based on this. Welcome to CA, the land of lawsuits. I would encourage any and all of you to show up Dec 17th and speak out. Call Kurtis has filed paperwork and has been granted the rights to cover this fiasco. You should take your truck and sign down there too.
