CBN News On Foreclosure Rescue

CBN News ran a television report recently on a Virginia Beach, Virginia homeowner who got caught up in a foreclosure rescue scam and is fighting back to keep his home. Reportedly, the company that took his house was legally forced to give it back -- and only because of a technicality. But because the company failed to make the mortgage payments, he's still fighting to hold onto it. Attorneys Tanya Bullock and Wanda Cooper represent the homeowner.
  • "The main thing is he was not informed of what was happening," Bullock said. "He thought he was re-financing. He ended up doing a full-fledged sale with the option to rent or lease the house back and with no right to cancel."
