United Housing Relief Complaints - Mortgage Scam

Mortgage Scam
Complaint Rating:  92 % with 13 votes
Company information:
United Housing Relief
7551 Wiles Road
Coral Springs, Florida
United States
Phone: 866.957.7718

In February 2009 Paul Damiano at United Housing Relief (UHR) responded to my on-line request for information concerning mortgage loan modification. He said that UHR could work with my mortgage company and secure a modified mortgage (after saying that I pre-qualified based on my financial information that we went over on the telephone in that initial conversation). He said they by-pass the Servicer, and go directly to the investor and that their services were money back guaranteed if they were unable to successfully secure a fixed rate, lower monthly payment mortgage that would, of course, be in my benefit.

He said this would cost me $1, 595. I paid this in 2 payments. Needless to say, they were not able to work anything out. Once this was clear, after confirming with my mortgage company, I contacted UHR several times via email and telephone and they do not respond.

I would not recommend anyone using this company as I have heard from at least 2 other people who have tried working with them that they have had the same experience with them. They are scam artists.

They were also know as Elect Group LLC and they stole $1495 from me with the same promise of getting my money back if loan modification refused by my mortgage company. Well my mortgage company refused the modification and told us that Elect Group LLC (aka United Housing Relief) were not an approved loan modification company thru HUD! Now I can not get in contact with them via phone or email to get refund on my money.

SCAM ARTISTS and LIARS.

I have just experienced the same problem with this company and have been taken for 1, 995.00 dollars. I say we all step up and take their ass to court. This has been nothing but a SCAM.

Oh My God.I am doing battle with them right now...I am devastated. I paid them $2000 in March and nothing has been done. Do not use them.

I am out $2, 495.00 just days after laying my Army son to rest. They knew that we were grieving and said that they could help. They took advantage of us during our grief. They need to be arrested.

They are a scam try to dispute the charge through your credit card company but if you paid them by check your pretty much out of luck. Contact the fla attorneys general office and make a complaint to get these guys what they deserve. The corporation name they use is W.A.R consulting and the owners names are wayne kriesberg and allen jarboe. There webste doesn't work and no one even picks up the phone any more. They are out of business but every now and than you can get a girl to pick up the phone or this piece of shit named Rodney. Call the Federal trade commision and the attorney generals office and maybe we can get our money back.

I also paid 2300.00 to this company. This payment was made in March and nothing has been done and my mortgage company keeps calling. I am also upset at all of the financial information that was submitted to this company. I will be calling the Attorney generals office in Florida because this has affected my credit and my family.

wayne kriesberg is the biggest piece of shit I have ever met. He will not refund anyone money. He is the the mastermind behind this scumbag company called United Housing Relief. I was called by a girl Kristina from uhr and said she could help me with my mortgage. 2 month later there out of business and now nobody anwers the phone except this scumbag black guy rodney. I hope the ftc puts the owner in jail for many years to come.

The true mastermind behind United Housing Relief is Paul Damiano. He set the whole place up, he trained everyone to sell the way he wants to. He also reviewed every deal that was done at UHR. He was responsable for every deal that took place. Paul made almost all of the money at UHR and bank records would prove that. He was the silent genius of UHR while Wayne and Allan were just the monetary investors, who lost theirs shirts trying to do the right thing while Paul made a fortune. He worked hand in hand with Tina LoCicero. Tina was paid per deal upfront to make sure she did all of the modifications. Paul Damiano and Tina fled and left all the files and clients behind while the made off with all the money they pocketed. They are both scum and are now ripping people off at C AND R LOAN MODIFCATIONS. Their new number is 866-957-1227. I was told that regulators are currently watching C and R by a credible source. While Paul and Tina fled, Wayne and Allan kept the place going...paying out of their own pocket to make sure that the loan modifications get done. UHR has not taken any new deals in about 3 months are are filing for bankruptcy since Paul and Tina left them high and dry...although, all files will be finished out and hopfully modified. Everyone can thank Paul and Tina for any grief suffered.

I also got taken in Feb of 2009 for $1995 and nobody from this office is doing a damn thing. The only person I can get a hold of at this place is some bimbo named Mel or Christie. I finally contacted my lender since I could not get a hold of anyone at UHR and my lender said that UHR has done nothing and has not had any communication with them regarding my loan. In my opinion Paul, Diamano, this damned Tina chick and the two investors are all pieces of shit! They all preyed on all of the us--the homeowners just trying to save our homes. I am also very worried that all of my financial information is out ther in the hands of these scumbags. I don't know about all of you, but I intend to bring the Feds down on all four of these scumbags and won't let up until they all get what they deserve. On a possitive note, I was able to work with my lender and THEY are processing a loan mod for me. If you haven't already tried, you should try. Also, if you are looking for a loan mod company, make sure they are attorneys. Good luck to my fellow victims.

Wayne Kriesberg is a saint. He is a great guy. He never has fucked over anyone. He always ran legit companies like mortgages, warranties, Loan Modifcations and a pain clinic. Every1 that knows wayne Kriesberg will say that he never screwed any1 over. I truly don't understand this.

ALLANWAYNE, I just need to know did Paul Damiano's girlfriend die in Janurary of 2009? Just days after my son died, Paul said that his girlfriend overdosed. Is this true? I felt a kindred towards him and trusted him. I just want to know if this is true.

Also, the only people I dealt with were Paul Damiano, Tina and DaniAnn. Were they not the employees? I own my own business, my employees do not have access to my company bank accounts, I don't believe that any employer would just allow any employee access to the bank accounts.

I spoke with Paul Damiano since, this company ripped me off. He seemed perplexed, said that the owners fired everone, one day in March (I think), and they all lost 2 weeks of their salary. Then they filed a police report saying that a computer the company gave him was stolen. He returned it to the police upon this accusation, however no files or client information was stolen at all. If he really stole anything, he would have been in Jail, right? The new company he works for probably would not have hired him???? I am confused.

I just want my money back. This pissing match between all of the people involved is getting out of hand. Who had access to the bank accounts that the money was deposited in? That is the only thing that matters really right now. Who is the owner? And is Elite grouop LLC? Does this owner own Elite Group LLC? Whomever is the owner and whomever signed the employees checks, had access to the bank accounts is the one that will be responsible. Who is that?

I have filed with the Attorney General 850-414-3300. I filed a police report with the Police 954-344-1800 report # 09-4373. I am not going to just let this go. I want answers.

My name is Christina and I spoke with someone at your office on the 20th, I sent over a new set of my files and they were never processed. I was not denied, nothing was done at all. My son died Jan 23rd he was in the Army. Pauls girlfriend died just days later. It was all so very sad. I paid $2, 495.00 in full and nothing was done on my loan. I just need to get my loan modified so that I do not loose my home. You can call my business line and leave a message and I will return your call. 951-757-1200
 146 days ago by   ALLANnWayne -2 Votes
MomZor---I can tell you this...many hours of work go into each and every file and I highly doubt that nothing was done on your file at all. Quite frankly, I am a little bit tired of people saying that nothing was done on their file when we have full files with proof of everything that was done including a conversation log with your lender. So please, when you say nothing was done on your file, make sure you know what you are talking about. I will have someone call you on Monday.
 146 days ago by   MomZor +2 Votes
AllannWayne, when I called on May 20th I asked them why noone called me, the person at the office told me that the files and computers were stolen in March and nothing had been done on the file and that I needed to resend all current stuff to them as they had no file on me. I am just stating what I was told.

When I first signed up with this company, I did receive a notice from my lender 6 weeks later, that they received the auth for this company to talk with them about my account. Then I heard nothing.

If that is what people are saying, then someone must have told them like they told me. This is not time for a pissing match, on who said what, it is time to fix this mess.
 146 days ago by   ALLANnWayne -2 Votes
That is exactly what we are doing...fixing the mess we were left from Damiano and Tina. The computers that were stolen, were stolen by Damiano. Unfortunatly, your complaints to the police department (completely absurd)...they do not even handle issues such as these. This is a civil matter, as they must have told you, and complaints to the Attorney General cause unecessary issues for the people trying to do the right thing on files such as yours, and cause delays becuase then we have to spend hours repsonding to complaints which take time off of working on files. Again...I need your name...first and LAST...and the best contact number to get you on Monday.

John Thornton...are you a client also? Your nursery rhymes are amuzing. If you ever had the drive enough to invest in a business or own one yourself, you would know that you can't make everyone happy...and that there are always a few rotton apples who spoil the bunch. You remind me of the person who dines in a restaurant...eats every last drop of food on their plate...and then complains and tries to get the whold damn meal for free. The great thing about this country is that NORMAL people understand that a few complaints out of hundreds of statisfied customers is pretty damn good. For people such as yourself who are of a narrow mind...I will be uploading several letters of appreciation from some of the many happy and satisfied clients on Monday..Feel free to look them up on your own time and contact them about the job that we did for them. Being that you are now an expert in the field of the FTC, mortgages, and loan modificatons...you must already know that this is a civil matter. It seems that you are also an expert in movies...who was in the one with the black denalis and black suits...OHH that must have been Wil Smith...lol...Now here is a piece of information for the ignorant people who do not understand what happens in a loan modification. Their own lender calls the shots...we work on behalf of the client to get the best possible deal for them. While we get great deals for some people, other people are in much worse situations. They either are much further behind on their mortgage or whatever the case may be. If the client is not happy with the modification that we get for them, that is not our problem anymore. We are hired to obtain a modification...nothing more...nothing less. Everyone needs to get their expections in perspective and stop crying wolf. As we said in previous posts, if anyone is unhappy with the job done, we will retry to get them a modification for FREE. I do not know how much more we can do for unreasonable people. We have been closed for 3 months and are willing to re-do anyone who is unsatisfied for Free. If we were running away...believe me...we would have already been gone...MORON!
