Country: United States
I got a call on my cell phone regarding credit card debt relief. . I was transferred to nakisha,  asked if I wanted to continue, they asked for $600 or $60.00 to send me the paperwork and for the consultation. When I asked them what it was for she said they would deduct from my first payment but would not tell me what the money was for FINALLY SHE  said yes.

THE FIRST TIME THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD APPLY TO MY CREDITORS BUT WHEN THEY CONVINCED ME TO RECORD MY VOICE THAN THEY SAID IT WAS ONLY A FEE FOR THE CONSULTATION!!!

. No fees should be sent to anyone for additional information requested on a company or program

she has been harrasing me telling that i have to pay this amount or else! and that they can take me to court becaues they have my voice accepting!! !  unfortunally i gave many personal information!!
what happends now??
i never signed anything!!!!

    STOP!!
    All these complaints are NONSENSE!! Pay ATTENTION people!! These are just 2 or 3 companies competing with each other and its disgusting. Deal with whom ever you feel comfortable with. Just make sure your dealing with a licensed attorney!! And another thing posting peoples names and scrutinizing them is also wrong. If you have a valid complaint then make it. this is serious people your dealing with people and losing there homes stop taking advantage of them. and if you cant complete the modification return the clients money and let them try another avenue! When you cant get a hold of the company that your working with then you should worry. Work it out by dealing with the company. putting these complaints wont get you anywere these companies will continue doing business regardless. Thank you all and good luck!!

    Hey Everyone,
    I to went online to search for help regarding my home and came across consumer first law group.Reading all these post make me aa little nervous. I've been dealing with them for a month now.I gave them 2595 up front to handle my modification. So far everything seems ok. I even contacted bank of america myself to see if they are actually working on my file and they said my application was in review.so I will keep everyone posted and let you guys know how everything goes.

    A legit firm they claim to do home loan modifications by working my with current mortgage company.
    Accepted Answer  The vendor's website lists the name of Anthony Blackwell, Esq. as the attorney running the advertisement. According to the Nevada State Bar, Mr. Blackwell's contact info is as follows:
    Name
    Anthony J. Blackwell
    Status Attorney CLE Suspended
    Company
    Blackwell Law Group PLLC
    Address
    2320 Paseo Del Prado  
    Suite B101
    Las Vegas, NV 89102

    Note: according to the NV State Bar listing, the attorney is "suspended" from the practice of law. If true, this could make his representation of you illegal.

    Hope this helps.

Customer Reply  They list the NV office on there WEB site, they claim to get home loan modifications and ask for $3500 retainer fee, and garentee it will cover all costs in re-writting loans and getting mortgage companies to accept the Atterneys terms.

         Posted by socrateaser 15 days and 21 hours ago. Expert's Answer  According to the Nevada State Bar attorney directory, the lead attorney in the advertisement is currently suspended from the practice of law. This means he cannot lawfully represent anyone for any purpose -- at least not as a Nevada lawyer.

    You can contact the NV State Bar and discuss the attorney's activities with the state agency. They may be particularly interested in the attorney's apparently advertising legal services while suspended from practice.

    Hope this helps.

    SOCRATES
    So basically don't give Consumer First Law Group any money and seek out other Attorneys?

         Posted by socrateaser 15 days and 21 hours ago. Expert's Answer  Only you can decide what you should do.

    The lead attorney for the organization that you inquired about may be the greatest legal advocate in the history of law. However, he's currently suspended from practicing law, in his home jurisdiction, at least according to the State Bar, which means that his advertisement is illegal, because he calls his organization a "law group."

    This would concern me, were I looking for a legal representative

    I just checked the Nevada Bar and his status is active.  Does active mean suspended? Not in my experience. Sounds like a problem with competitors posting untrue statements to steer buisness away from a company to me

    Does not appear to be suspended.  So do your homework as opposed to reading blogs that aren't at all confirmed for legitamcy. Also Homesafe America became United Legal Solutions.  They are both in Levittown.  Consumer First Law (and not Consumer Law) is a separate company in Woodbury.

    I was skeptical at first.  I did my homework and also viewed their "case studies"  That was enough to allow me to decide to hire them.  They have modified my loan.  For all those who a weary check http://consumer1stlaw.com/case-studies.php
    Mine is up there now as well.  So for those in doubt read through them.  Where do you think they got them? They are from people they have helped.  Ask another company to provide that.  I tried and no other company had anything remotely close.  So as Bob said, do your homeowrk and not just by reading blogs.  Good luck people and Thank you to Consumer First!

    I am totally appalled at the number of complaints I am finding regarding Consumer First Law Group. It seems that Bob and Mary are employees or  the interested party. The posts are  very concerning . Some or part of these comments  have to have something of certain . My impression is that Blackwell, Samuel and Daloya left the ship sunk (HOME SAFE AMERICA).
    Why they closed  Home Safe America and became Consumer First? It was because they were professionals and did a good work for their clients? . I dont think so. There are none so blind as those, that will not see.

    I work as a strategic default negotiator and consultant for a major law firm based out of central Florida and recently one of my clients was contacted by Consumer First Law Group.  My client never "applied" for anything and simply was requesting information regarding HAMP alternatives to foreclosure.  My client received a call today from someone named "Dean" at CFLG claiming he had her "application" in front of him and was ready to move forward.  

    First, she never made any application to modify her home.  Second, as a professional working in the industry now for years I can say with absolute certainty that the "work" CFLG is claiming to do is completely false.

    Bank of America does not and has never had a "Special department" dedicated to handling their files.  BoA actually has no realtion with this "firm" in any way.  Loan modification are completely plausible in many cases and always remain an option for certain individuals.  That being said, a loan modification can only be handled by your individual lender and requires investor approval.  No firm, organization or singular person can guarantee that a loan modification will go through.  To do so is fradulent and morally corrupt.  By framing the fee as a "retainer" CFLG is making people believe that they receive some kind of representation for their money.  If you go into foreclosure CFLG will not be representing you or you interests in court.  For this reason alone you should avoid them at all costs.

    You can find numerous firms that will not only work on loan modifications for you but also complete short sales, deed-in-lieu or consent to judgment should your loan modification be denied or other options found impossible.  A true law firm will represent the client in their entirety.  You can pay less that $3000 and get an entire year of representation from numerous law firms with proven records.

    Why CFLG would say that they are working with BoA is beyond me.  If your loan is not with BoA then it would have absolutely no bearing on your attempts to modify.  

    Always do your research before paying any money up front, which is illegal anyway.  

    If you have honest questions or just want more education on:
    Loan Modification
    Strategic Default
    Short Payoffs
    Principal Reduction
    HAMP/HAFA
    HARP
    Short Sales
    Deed-In-Lieu
    Consent to Judgment
    Lien Release

    Then please post in response to this email and I will contact you privately.

    FALSE.  Law Firms of any reasonable reputation are still listed with the BBB.  More lies and disinformation from CFLG.

    I am the one who wrote 4-5 messages in regards to Consumer 1st Law Group stating they were a scam and not to use them... well at that time I was not getting any help and the run around and I would like to rescind all of my messages stating it was a scam and all the negative things.

    I in the last week have had nothing but wonderful service by Anthony Blackwell.  He took my call everytime I called there and I was refunded my money and he was the one that had to go out of his way many of times to assist me.

    When I originally was dealing with them my case manager was nice and helped me but when I no longer wanted to pursue it within the next 4 days and I cancelled it all that is where I was leaving messages and I was left out not knowing what was going on.  That is when I left the messages on the blog because they had my money and no one would help me.  This last week I had contacted not the refund department but Anthony himself then I was taked care of above and beyond and I got my refund back.  Anthony is a truely genuine person and I now think that the place is a true organization that really wants to help people but there is issues with there process of it all.  One person does not know what to do with the person and they tell you they cannot help you anymore and the person who just gave a ton of money gets all stressed out and thinks its a scam when in reality I think it is a precedural issue there.

    If I need help in the future I can honestly say that I would go to consumer 1st law group again.

    Thank you so very much Anthony Blackwell.  I appreciate all the time you put into helping me :)

    I did get my refund today so I am rescinding what I had put on here a week ago.  It was true and accurate but Anthony corrected it all and I think it was all confusion and incorrect handling on there end and Anthony himself corrected the issue and apologized to me and he personally did the refund to me.  Thank You Anthony :)

    I did get my money and I got 6 return phone calls from Anthony once I was able to get the correct person to get me in touch with him.  They are a good company just a couple procedural flaws to work out :)
