Homeowners Facing Foreclosure Demand Refunds From South Florida Foreclosure Rescue Operator

In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, WFOR-TV Channel 4 reports:
  • Dozens of South Florida homeowners are caught in the middle of a blame game. They say a company that promised to help them fight foreclosure blatantly took their money. The company, however, says they are the victim. People in Ft. Lauderdale have been lining up demanding their money back. This company [Outreach Housing] is blaming their former attorney for the problems. Both sides are filing reams of paperwork in court, accusing the other, and while they argue it's the little guy -- the homeowner who is getting hurt.
