Oh yes this company are scammers 2 ladies went to my home claiming all the things that this company could do for me I am not late on my mortgage but wanted my payments lowered well they took my money $1595 the ladies names were Isela Reyes, and Cynthia Hernandez well check this out Cynthia is married to one of the companies owners his name is Ken Carreon. Well in looking into Cynthia's background she is a Felon, yes a Felon they caught her smuggling illegals, yes just what we need. I applied last year in August and till this day nothing I cant even get someone to call me back not even the 2 scammers that went to my house Isela and Cynthia. Oh and Isela said she was a realtor well in checking with the AZ dept of realtors she dont even have a license to sell houses, she said she was a agent and she is nowhere to be found under ADOR. imagine that. My next step is to contact the Attorney General office. Im not stopping till they all get what they deserve. SCAMMERS!

WOW RINDA,
You sure do know our situation so well. We have two disable twins and was having a very hard time, we had been traveling back and forth to St.Louis with hospital stays that would at times last almost a month. We had no lavish boats, jet ski's, vacations, no big screen TV's. Our house payments where spent on medical expenses you doushe bag. The money you stole from us was the last of our saving you scammer. I am telling the story right. And now I see you are working with budget repair and stealing other peoples money also.. You said to me in the office you had researched this company for a year. Well it took me only 3 months and 1800.00 to figure out they were not a legit company. It only took me 5 mins on the Internet to see it, wish I would have checked that out 3 months prior. Lesson learned. And you should not have been operating your business you were using your mother name to operate the business because you were already told you could not operate another business. You are to blame, you took advantage of us and I am sure others also. Get a job one that you might have to make your own money like everyone else. You will one day get what's coming to you..

I have been following the loan mod - principal reduction programs and scams since mid 2009 and have just recently found a provider that is doing things properly. They have a recognized non-profit division providing counseling AND a loan modification via attorney program with NO upfront fee or cost until the lender has agreed to a modification acceptable to the homeowners. After test marketing thoroughly, they have launched nationally in January and because I have a web presence in the principal reduction keyword searchable arena, I was contacted and will be a registered agent soon. The parent company is in the INC 500 and there is no doubt as to their legitimacy. Anyone interested as a client or representative may contact Bruce Lee Inman and The Inman Team, Inc for information.

Elvia
File a complaint with the Arizona Attorney Generals office along with the Arizona Dept of Financial Institutions.This is the procedure for you to get a refund[if one is available after they wrap up the investigation] The AG's office is going to be dealing criminally with the Guardian Group and the worthless Bryan Prehoda-Luis Belevan etc the masterminds and lowlifes of the scam that was brought upon the innocent victims of Arizona.This is the only info that i have been told about and do not know when this will happen.All the victims that were scammed in Arizona hope and pray that this will happen sooner than later but you know how slow the justice system can be.I wish you good fortune in pursuing this and hopefully we all get some justice for this terrible burden they put upon all of us.

My name is Elvia we too were Scammed with the same amount of money 1, 595.00. We went thru a local agent, her name is Sandra I keept asking her if we needed to start packing our belongings and she always answered not to worried about it, they will help us with an extention in the foreclosure but it did'nt happen, the new owner of the house threw us out of it in less than three days. They never give us a single document as a proof. The only one we have is the copy of the cashier's check with the name of the Guardian Group we want to sue this company also but I do'nt know where to go or where to call.

My name is Rinda Underwood I am affiliated with The Mortgage Compnay and have a state license from Arkansas.
I was just a referral source for the Guardian Group/PRP Nationwide that were agents for the company. But theze folks above didn't use the last of their savings, at least that is not what they said and they did have the money they could have paid their payments but chose not to. They were several months behind. And looking for a way to get a lesser paymetn. I did believe these folks, that they actually were going to help people.
But the mortgage company is not affiliated with the guardian group. I did contact these folks to let them know, as soon as I knew there was a p[roblem with the guardian group and I had beenin contact with an attorney in Scottsdale AZ on their behalf as well as other previous clients I had referred. I nor anyone else was to have continuous contact with the customer, since The Guardian Group was not their working agen. Brian Pahoda, Jim Ausel were two of the people that actaully had given information on the above mentioned clients. As well as others that I had sent their way. No money was given to Rinda Underwood on these folks behalf or any others. A cashiers check was made to Thne Guaredian Group and any additional funds went to PRP Nationwide for credit, value anayl., and shipping of the file to Tje Guardian Group in Scottsdale AZ.
I woild so appreciate it if these things were quoted correctly. I was very upset also to find that after many months of investigation this compnay was not what they appeared.
I find it very disheartening there are people just looking to place blame on others. I also was a victim of this company. And never woild have referred them if I hadn't believed in the company.
Even though these folks choose to place blame I still continue to pursue tryiong to get their funds replaced as well as my own.

We also have been scamed through this company. We went through a local agent here in Arkansas, that now say they were just acting agents for them and they are not responible for the money we lost. 1595.00 plus 200.00 grand total of 1795.00. This was the last of your savings, We live in Arkansas and was talking with The Mortgage Company out of Roger, AR (Rinda Underwood) that assurred us that this company was legit.. She had been reserching this company for a year and they were helping people. 3 Months later nothing, and barely a word from The Mortgage Company about what was going down on the Guardian Group, She under her breath stated that they were not operating with the correct business licence. That she would try and get out money back but she could not promise they would get anything. I trusted this Mortgage company because we had used them before so I put all my trust in them instead of reserching it myself and would have found out that it was a scam. I feel so stupid for trusting someone..

we too were scamed with the samething.. The Guardian Group that WAS based in Arizona started operating in California through other businesses. The one that we delt through promising this great solid deal was US Loan Specialist in Stockton Ca. Imagine working with the VP of the california company and still get scammed. The Guardian Group I found in investigating was actually shut down by the FBI and ordered to payback but this was only in effect for Arizona. So if your in Az contact the FBI office there special agent Kevin Luke you may find some result better than us here in Ca .

WoW this is so funny the same thing happened to me these two scammers waddled up to my house and they said they had helped every body else on my block and that our neighborhood was hit hard by the housing market they said normally the program cost $5995 but they were giving a discount if we paid cash of $2995 we were 6 months behind and my husband had lost his job and we took out an advance on our credit card to pay them. They said it would take 60 days and that we wouldn't lose our house and next thing you know its 5 months later and we find out that Guardian Group Fund never did receive our file and they claimed they never even hear of Isela Reyes and Cynthia Hernandez as for this Ken Carreon I never seen him but I did do a little research on the two lady after it was too late. And you finding are totally accurate. I also heard that Bryan Prehoda was convicted of 2 count of Child Pornography back in 1996 he molested a student at a middle school that he worked at. I'm so pist at my self for not looking into this company before I handed over my hard earned cash. I'm deturminds to take them down
