I have been approached by this company and am unsure as well. They said they will find the discrepancies in my loan (for 1% of original loan amount) and give to their law people who will then assign a lawyer at $1000 per month (for about 9 months). I have researched the lawyers, the Founders and everything I can. All seems OK...but they are a newbie company. Basically not enough data to determine. The Rep I talked to was knowledgeable and explained well and answered my questions. I would go for it for sure except for...I am afraid of the process where I am not supposed to talk to the lender once the TRO (temporary restraining order) is filed, which means I'm not supposed to be sending the lender money, correspondence, nothing. That is the only part of this whole thing I am holding back on because at this time, I have never been late in my payments. Problem is, everything is going to change and soon--so I have to do something. Also, 9 months (10 if you include the audit the first month) is a long time to wait to see if you are a winner...almost like having a baby! I was told things would get worse before they got better--but they cannot guarantee that we will win. So what to do...what to do.
Thank you everyone! I have been holding off becoming a customer of these guys and am glad I listened to my gut. They were too positive I would win my case, they kept lowering the cost of the audit and raising the cost of the legal services. George Pulvino keeps trying, but the next time he calls, I am just going to tell him we went with someone else (and I did... me!). I've figured out how to make it all work without losing my home or even being late on one payment. By the time trouble comes-a-knocking, when all is said and done, I will be paying less for my house than if I went with US Loan Auditors/My Legal Service.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you who did get scammed, I hope Karma bites them ALL on the behind!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Good! His smart-### children have a few things to learn in life. Sandison, his wife, and Christian need to have a swift kick in the ### to make sure that they learn that lying, cheating, stealing, adultery, fraud, malice, unlawful greed has a price.

Shane Barker, Jeff Pulvino, Jim Sandison, and the rest of the scam artists will get what is coming to them! They are too stupid to realize that the authorities and everyone they screwed are watching them and will catch up with them in due time. Shan may have put everything in his wife's name hoping to avoid prosecution, but this can only go so far. Shane is a "serial psycho" who is about as sincere as a fly and if you are intelligent you can pick this up - his fast talking is the biggest clue.
Barker lists himself as a "serial entrepeneur" but it should be listed as a serial scammer.
Guess who has new company?

To this date, Jeff Pulvino is boasting about the wondeful vacations he takes with his girlfriend Jennifer, who has a huge lesson to learn in life. Pulvino, Barker, Sandison, Soutar, and their co-criminals left many people homeless, hopeless, and jobless for thier own criminal and financial gain. Jeff Pulvino is a career criminal, period. Honestly, everyone needs to hammer these idots via their social networking sites so that they are never allowed to do it again. Pulvino is supported by his criminal mother and they hide behind religion to make themselves feel better. Some of the biggest crooks and criminals hide behind religion.
Any updates since 5/19/2011 ?
Voyage financial mortgage division is fraudulent as well. I experienced this in individual mortgage refinancing.
I had an escrow balance, without my knowledge they took it and put it into my loan amount. And they calculated my monthly payment based on some random old tax number, 6 months after my refinance I am getting a increase of 600$ in my monthly bill.
This is after I uncovered (unfortunately) after I signed the papers. I have to blame myself as I was not knowledgeable or diligent enough to look at the papers.
But this was predatory and Voyage financials is part of the fraud as well
I have had reason to go to the former offices of US Loan Auditors, I say former because they are not there anymore. I had a hunch they were not on the straightest of roads. We did not give them a cent. They were asking like $2, 000.00 a month from us. We have paperwork still with them and would like to get it back. We are 74 and 65 and don't want to have to go through this kind of garbage. Please, if any of you know what government agency closed them down let us know. Post in on this website. We went to both offices and each was empty. This was in May, 2011. The people downstairs from them told us several people had been by to check out their current status. I can't believe that some are still OK with the way they conduct business. I want my papers back and I will do everything I can to obtain them.
Thanks,
L. Velasco, Placerville, CA. (OLD HANGTOWN)
Checking in to see if anything is new. I hope the AG presses for criminal charges on all of them. Any word? Anyone know what's happening with the bankruptcy? What's interesting is in looking at the peoples case and all the documents being submitted, Sandison seems to be keeping a low profile and Barker and Puvlino are pushing their case. I thought I read here that Sandison was the only attorney on record. You would think he would be more active in trying to defend himself or his attorneys defending him. Good luck to you all. Good does triumph over evil.
I'm with you. Lets do what we have to do to put an end to these scammers.
EVERYONE WHOM IS INTERESTED, PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE TO ME OR OAKTOWN 4 AND WE WILL INFORM YOU OF WHAT TO DO ONCE THE D.A. STARTS THE BALL ROLLING.
Nice, what happend here?
Wish Sacramento would do the same.
Voyage isn't and shouldn't be in the same category as the above. They are Great and Reputable! Do the math.
Has anyone been served a subpoena for a personal appearance by Pulvino's Lawyer? Law Offices of K. Greg Peterson.
For anyone looking for info on why the company shut down - - plain and simple they are/were scammers. They have a Bankruptcy court date March 18th in Sacramento California at 2pm...I know I will sit my [censor] in that court room and demand the $20, 000 dollars they stole from me, my husband, and our 16 year old son. They should be liable for taking thousands from innocent families...If you have fallen victim to this dispicable company, lets ban together and make them pay for what they did. Also the Attorneys that took part in their evil plot should be dis-barred...
Looks like court resumes on March 10th.
The law license is gone first, and the real estate licence will be gone shortly.
The disciplinary action that lists Sandison as inactive is attached to a case he had with comcast and $300, 000 he hid from his partner. It looks like he has 2 different bar review cases. That one and another one which looks linked to the lawsuit by the AG. Regardless of why, at least he can't practice for now.
It shows as inactive because of the suit and the investigation they have on him. Hopefully the AG continues to search aand take everything away from those people.
I've been lurking here and reading these posts. While I don't have a claim to this I'm stunned at what these people have done and the number of people they scammed. I searched Sandison on the bar webpage and it showed him as inactive. Unless that is new he would have been practicing illegally. I hope you all get some restitution.
So What's new? Please someone update me. Thanks

Creditors, go to the hearings. It will feel unfamiliar, but it's not scary.
Hi all, I'm just finding this thread. USLA also stole money from me. I'll go back and read to find out how I can join in the efforts to retrieving some of my money and brining these guys to justice. Any advise would be helpful. -CS

Good Luck! We are in the pit with these guy's. REAL [censor]!
For the USLA bankruptcy, the list of unsecured, non-priority creditors, which I assume is a list of its beleaguered customers, is about 200 pages long. If you are a former customer, you may be on this list. For Chapter 7 bankruptcies, the 'plan' is to come out having discharged all these debts, meaning creditors eat their losses. Collection on discharged debts is prohibited. This includes judgments. I tried to upload the statement of financial affairs, but this board won't take the file. Sorry. You'll have to get a copy from the bankruptcy court. This is best done with a Pacer account, which is free and available to the public. Here is the main Pacer website. http://www.pacer.gov/
Did someone need Sanidison's address? I can get it. He lives in Wilton, or he did.
Alethia- Check the bankruptcy papers filed in the case with the State. There are some individuals names listed on there who USLA owed money to from small claims court. One of them might be you. If you need more info you can let me know on this site and I will check back on it.
when I called the b.k. court all I got was a recording that kept me in a looped recording.
I wasn't able to get a live person. any help? how do I get to speak to the trustee for each case?
does anyone have a direct phone number for the trustees or any info on how to contact them directly?
How many cases are there total for USLA and Sandison for the B.K. Court?
If you win a small claims case against Sandison or USLA(s) how would anyone collect if they have filed b.k.?
It would be nice to collect!
does anyone know where any former usla scammers are working now? I know LaMar went to Michigan to work for nationwide. thank you.
What is the actual website where we can keep up with the case? Thank you, good luck to you all.
"I have a small claims lawsuit against USLA and James Donald Sandison - #148812 (State Bar Of Ca Lic.)
and we won a judgment for $7500.00"
How did you find Sandison to be able to serve him, where does he reside now? Please, anyone, keep us informed to the court dates, we need to show up to make the Court know the hurt and pain they have caused. Thank you.
Oops, sorry everyone, the first meeting of creditors for Sandison was yesterday (1-17-11) at 4:30 p.m. and for USLA it was today. I regret the mis-information. If anyone managed to attend, it would be helpful if they could post their observations.
They have to show up to the first meeting of creditors for the bankruptcy cases. No outs, no excuses, no substitutions. In addition, they must submit to questioning by any creditor that wishes to ask questions (as long as the questions are relevant), and they must answer them under oath. One of the first meetings was today and the other is tomorrow. Feel free to exercise your rights in that forum. It can't hurt and it might help.

I have a small claims lawsuit against USLA and James Donald Sandison - #148812 (State Bar Of Ca Lic.)
and we won a judgment for $7500.00 (they stole $10, 880 from us). I received some documents from U.S. DOJ office of the U.S. Trustee and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of California, Sac. Division. I'm down as a unsecured creditor since we won a judgment against USLA and My US legal services. I don't think that helps me but I wanted a day in court to face them but they didn't even show up (three times). This is another scam by everyone that is associated with USLA and My Us Legal. I dont think they should have the option for bankruptcy and it should be a criminal case.
Good luck alethia.
Thanks Barkley123 I will follow up on this.
Case Number [protected] is the personal bkcy. The USLA case number is [protected], and the US Legal case number is [protected] .
There is also a new case, number [protected] in the BK court, "People of the State of California vs US Loan Auditors, " filed Jan 4, but the Pacer site was acting up and I couldn't access the documents to know the details. There is a similar case against My US Legal, but again, the Pacer site was acting up.
As for filing a proof of claim, I can't give legal advice, but it is a pretty simple matter of submitting a form and attaching documentation to substantiate the amount you are claiming. You mail it to the trustee. But again, this is NOT legal advice. Check with a real attorney if you have questions about filing a claim.
WHAT ARE THE B.K. CASE NUMBERS FOR EACH OF THE CASES? ANYONE?
THANKS
is this the correct b.k. court phne number [protected] I street Suite 200 Sac Ca ?
and yes, isnt there a stay on the b.k.'s for sandison and both companies or did that stay get lifted?
Barkley123,
Where is the list of creditors? Where do you file this proof of claim? As far as I can tell from the SAC court there is a preliminary injunction. The police powers from automatic stay can't be lifted. Bankruptcy can't work. What am I missing here?
Unless you are specifically listed as a creditor on the schedules, you won't receive anything from the Bkcy court. If you feel the debtors owe you money, you can still file a proof of claim as long as you have proof. There are deadlines, so check with the Bkcy court to be sure you don't miss them.
