Scammers use a variety of tactics to find and target homeowners in distress. They may falsely "guarantee" or "promise" successful loan modifications or offer to help you save your home for an upfront fee.
The Center for NYC Neighborhoods (CNYCN) can help with:
- Referrals to trustworthy legal assistance
- Understanding your rights and options
- Reporting a scam to law enforcement
- Avoiding predatory lending
- Protecting against mortgage rescue scams
The Center can provide you with a referral to a community-based organization to assess your financial and legal situation for mortgage-related issues and other homeownership assistance.
