Manhattan Mitigation

Jannatul of HOLLIS, NY August 21, 2009

I saw one advertisement in web side and Bengali newspaper called Thikana stated that Manhattan Mitigation Corp. lower the mortgage payment to contact my lender to do loan modification. I handed over a bank check 5000 to Manhattan Mitigation Attn. Minconee Law Group LLC. After that no trace they close their office. My loan denied. Now I am in the street and going to lose my house.

I was one of those desperate people that Mr. Ken contacted. At the time I was in trouble with my mortgage. I wa told by Mr. Ken he could help send me 1950.00 an we will have you out of trouble in no time, also we were told not to pay the mortgage we are holding at that time, do no talk to them because while we are workin on this we can not speak with them. A few weeks go by they never were in touch with us. we kept trying to call them and was told oh the person that was assigned your file no longer works with us.

Well ther last contact we had with Mr. Ken was a lawyer's name and #. When contacted this person we were told our name is on a list showing some one was working with us, but shows no money was ever paid.

I have two canceled money orders, one for deposit of Manhattan Mitigation was stamped on the back the other one just has a signature. I bet I know who signed it.

None of us deserve this I wish we could all get our money back.

In October of 08 I was contacted by Manhattan Mitigation to modify my morgage.In November they seid they would need 4,400 to do modifacation. In January they told me that they had to wait for the stimulas pacage to be worked out before they can do the work.In March They seid that it would be done by the end of April. In May I tryed to contact them by phone and all of there numbers have been disconected.I emailed them and there was no reply.

Over the last mounth I have been in contact with over 20 people that have been scamed out of a lot of money. There are a lot more out there. The owners name is Kenneth. I have fild a complaint with the Manhattan Disterict Attorneys office. I also filded a complaint with the New York State Attorney Generals office. The address that I gave for Manhattan Mitigation was there orignal office they move in April to. That office closed and they can't be found.

Manhattan Mitigation Corp. contacted me about renegotiating the terms of my loan with my mortgage company. I was desperate to save my home, so I agreed. They required money up front that was going to be put into an escrow account and if they were unable to assist me I would receive a refund. I had to borrow the 1,950 from my family to give to them.

At first, everything seemed to be going well. They were very professional, they made sure that all the t's were crossed and the i's dotted on the paperwork. They stayed in contact. Then, all of the sudden the guy that I had been working with was no longer available and a lady "took over" my account. I was only able to contact her twice by phone and twice by email, before she too disapeared.

None of the phone numbers are in service for this company. I called information and there is no listing for Manhattan Mitigation. To my knowledge Manhattan Mitigation has not held up to their contract. They have taken my money and ran.

I was notified by this company and was told they could help me with my current situation. I had been recently laid off from my job and they could help me with my mortgage company because I knew I was going to fall behind because I was the bread maker of my family. While on the phone with Ken Berenger he put me on hold and said he was calling my mortgage company. He said Oh yes they will work with us to lower your monthly payment and to Lower my interest rate and to get my credit repaired. He told me usually thier fee would be 3000 but this time because I sounded desperate he would only charge me 1950.00.

I gave him the money via credit card he gave me a bunch of forms to fill out that gave him all of my personal information. He then said someone else would be in touch with me. I never heard from him again. A few weeks later this girl called me and said she was now in charge of my account. When I had a question I tried to contact her and she no longer exsisted. I then got another call from another girl who was "In charge of my case". Again when I tried to contact her for questions because 2 months had lapsed Icould not get in touch with her. They never did what was promised and I am out 1950.00. They are scam artisits praying on volnerable people.
