This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

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.

ALLANnWAYNE - I am the person who began with the initial complaint about UHR. UHR was not able to secure a modification for me. This fact was confirmed with my mortgage servicer. I was pre-qualified by P. Damiano. I made sure they received my information in a timely manner. I made sure the lines of communication were open because I was the one who kept them open. I was the one who contacted Tina via email and telephone to let them know when I would be out of the office and they could contact me at my home number. I was the one who contacted them when too much time had passed and I felt that it would be good to have an update. Eventually I would hear from UHR, but I was the one who initiated the contact.

At this point, my papers can not be resubmitted, because I filed Chapter 13 to save my property because the servicer was moving forward with foreclosure plans. I am due a full refund of $1, 595. I could not care less who is responsible for what at UHR. The Florida BBB/Southeast Region list Wayne Kriesberg as the owner of UHR. If, as you say in one of the previous posts, UHR had hundreds of satisfied clients, then there should be money available to refund the few of us who are overdue.

These guys need to be in the cell next to Madoff! They use the same principle--take from people--use to support their lifestyle--leave you high and dry.

My heart and prayers go out to you Momzor. I feel like you do--a certified check in the mail would stop me. So since it looks like that is not going to happen, I am moving along with filing my complaints with the proper authorities.

I wonder if Wayne and the others have lost their homes and/or jobs the way many others have. I wonder if they have consciences that make them think about how people trusted them with their most valuable asset--their homes--and how UHR knowingly scammed people and in many cases took them from being late to Chapter 13 or foreclosure and displacement of families. Do they realize or even care that they are part of the problem instead being part of the solution?

They better make sure they wear the best fire repellant outfits at the Time of Reckoning because right now they are headed to Hell with gasoline drawers on.

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 ### named Rodney. Call the Federal trade commision and the attorney generals office and maybe we can get our money back.

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.

I am having the same problem. I paid them $1000 and my bank refused my request also now can't contact them and a date has been set for the sale of my house. I have been told by other agency's to make a complaint with the Attorney General in Fla.

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 ### to court. This has been nothing but a SCAM.

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.
