Hope Financial Loan Modification Scam

June 17th, 2009
Goto comments

A group of scammers has been cold calling consumers posing as Hope Financial, a legitimate loan modification company that helps negotiate debt with credit card companies and banks. Apparently the scammers ask for consumers credit card information in order to charge them for “debt modification”. Hope Financial has been featured on the CBS Evening News and the New York Times; however, they don’t cold call consumers or take credit card payments over the phone.

If you’ve received any such call you should note the number that call you, the person who called, and the time of the call and report it to: info@hopefinancialusa.com. If you are looking for credit card debt help from Hope Financial, you can find their official website here. Their official phone number is 800-242-0500.

    Lisa White called me and said she was with Hope Financial. She said in order to save my home I could pay Hope Financial $199.00 for 6-12 months and they would call my credit card companies and settle with them. I pay $755 in credit card debt. She said she could get my payment to my credit cards down to $456.50 per month. Her phone number is 888-343-3442 extension 4503. Is this a scam? Thank you.

    I’ve been talking to Hope Financial Group in hopes of help for home loan modification. Well after taking over $1800 from me, I’ve heard nothing from them. Can get a response from email or phone. Some of the numbers they refer too don’t even have voicemail setup or the voicmail is full. Here are some of the names I’ve talked too.

    Celia Larson 904-637-1809
    Brittany Bolton 904-435-4673

    Did I just get scammed? This is so not cool and I don’t know what I’m going to do now.

    The name of this company is Financial Hope For America. If they were posing as Hope Financial, then yes it is a scam. If not and you got the 2 mixed up, then probably not. Do homework people before you hire any debt settlement or loan mod company to work on your behalf. Any company that takes an advance fee in either vertical is a scam. Buyer Beware !
