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

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!

That comment from Ricky reminds me of this silly saying that I always hear people say and it goes like this "BETTER LATE THAN NEVER", but I agree with you. When they endorsed Jerry Brown on his stance for modification fraud, Brown's office should have checked them out a little closer.

This is only the beginning. There is still a long haul to overcome. At the least it does accomplish a few things such as 1) Public Awareness (it was aired and it got widespead media attention)
2) When something of this nature is started, the ball is rolling (hopefully to VICTORY of the people that were robbed once again.
3) The message was delivered to Jim Sandison, Shane Barker and Jeff Pulvino that this will not be tolerated.
Results come when people gather together and rally as one. Just this little bit of information gives me hope for a favorable outcome.

I really don't think Brown did much personally, the only thing he did was delay what could have taken place 6 months ago to fit his political ambitions.

Yes, DRE is Department of Real Estate which you should file a complaint with and can online. Most important if you want to be part of the Attorney General's lawsuit is to file with Dept. of Justice (Attorney General) as well as the Ca. State Bar. Make sure to supply each with all the information and documentation you can. They all take some time to prepare and make copies of everything but are well worth it. Justice will be served and USLA will get to feel a small amount of the burn they have caused all of us. I have also filed a complaint with the BBB which went unresolved because of course USLA think they are right and dispute everything you say. Also I have filed with the Sacramento D.A.'s office who redirected it to the Dept. of Justice anyway.

Call the DRE, State bar Association, Attorney General. Numbers speak volumes. They want to know who all is out there that got scammed. Im sure the three owners of the company are not going to willingly give your information You need to get the ball rolling. This Law Suit filed by the State of California is so that hopefully at the end of this madness you will get some type of compensation.

AG Jerry Brown Sues US Loan Auditors for $60 million:

This company has been sending out letters to homeowners, claiming their lender was being investigated for predatory lending and that they could stop foreclosure by hiring the firm to conduct an audit of their loan documents at a cost of $3000.

Bank of America is also suing them for falsely alleging, in their mailers, that the bank was under investigation for illegal activity.

California Attorney General Jerry Brown on Wednesday filed a $60 million lawsuit against two local companies that worked together to help distressed homeowners but failed to deliver as promised.

The suit targets US Loan Auditors and My US Legal Services, both of Rancho Cordova, as well as five people in the companies, including two attorneys.

“These defendants dangled the term ‘forensic loan audit’ as a sure-fire remedy for the mortgage problems of homeowners in distress, ” Brown said in a release “In fact, it was no remedy at all, and hundreds of desperate California homeowners took the bait and lost their money — and sometimes their homes.”

The suit seeks civil penalties, restitution for victims, and permanent injunctions against the companies and the defendants.

2. Your question, “Why would anyone need $2, 000 per month in costs, thousands of dollars up front for a "forensic audit" if they know the law so well, and then also have you sign for attorneys fees, with no guarantee of a result? “ Answer: We use the forensic loan audit (all done in-house) in State or Federal court. It is a very useful tool if audited correctly. In other words, not all forensic audits are the same. Yes there are companies out there scamming homeowners and they claim to do forensic audits; we are definitely NOT one of those fraudulent companies. Guaranteeing a "win" in federal or state court is impossible. If there is any company/attorney that guarantee's a "win" in court, be very cautious! It is a court case, there are NO guarantees! There are a number of precautionary steps that we take as a company to help ensure the highest probability of having a favorable outcome in a court case.

Straight from shane barker: Read line 6!
Why is it on the video that channel 13 aired Laura Soutar says otherwise? strange don't you think?

As for USLA, $60 million! They must of really pissed off Jerry Brown when he got wind of the articles such as "USLA applauds Jerry Brown cracking down on phony loan audits."

GOOD NEWS AND A HUGE RELIEF WE GOT THIS FAR!

Thank you everyone and the Departments of Justice.

See ya " NeedHelp". Let me know if you ever got that loan audit. Just Food for Thought.

THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE (BUT IN THIS CASE, USLA FOUNDERS AND STAFF AND OUTSIDE LAWYERS WILL BE GOING TO PRISON) AT LEAST LETS HOPE!

http://ag.ca.gov/newsalerts/release.php?id=1998&

attorneys generals news alert on USLA and the founders.

CHECK IT OUT!

Roland sison, laura souter, tish brazer, tony and all the other scammers, oh yeah Mike Mix (mr. real estate), Dan Wahley etc.. (ex-attorney?) your all going down. I have recorded conversations with all of you. Roland (the computer tech and [censor]ter) tish (defender of usla who didn't want to hear bad mouthing of the company and vehemently denied that USLA was doing anything wrong and got smart on the phone and abrasive, now you'll have to listen, smart-[censor]) laura who never follows up or returns your calls when the sheriff is due to your door in 24 hrs to evict you, tony, who never returns your calls or $,
and there is a rumor that, (dont know if its true) Dan & Mike in co-hoots with jim, Jeff and Shane to buy the clients foreclosed homes or homes about to be foreclosed, thru their other businesses and associates and their businesses (as here-say has it) but wouldnt doubt it.

Look at the pics of these guys on the internet thru various searches and their own ads or postings, such as the blood drive, etc.. and in my opinion, they look like people that you cant trust. Barkers taste in music and associates/friends on his facebook pages dont reflect that of an intelligent and refined person, let alone a business person. sandison looks like a mobster with his hair slicked back and an untrustworthy sole. You can tell alot about someones soul by looking deep into their eyes and just the way they look, regardless of what they wear.
Pulvino, well, you make your own decision. My conversations with him were of pure [censor]. nothing ever came of talks about how they were going to help us and that they were on top of things. He made sure we were on top of our payments though!

I SAY TO ALL OF THEM: PAYBACK IS A MOTHER FUXXER! SE LA VIE

Long time a coming. Where are all the liars now that came on this board the past year and harassed people? Also, Sandison's son, Jimmy was doing some work for USLA and he is also a sac county sheriff. time to call that department, he should no longer be a cop. Where are u LaMar? I heard the CA Bar will also sue them.

I fought this in fed. court in sac, ca and won a judgement, but like everything else associated with scalise, it is worthless. peter scalise is a life-long piece of trash.

I found out that she never appeared in court but rather did a conference telephone call into the court room.
there were more than 3 people whom she was representing at that case conference. although, the case conference doesnt do much besides keep things on track and moving along, it would have been better if she had shown up to meet with her clients.
