  21st Century Legal Services
  I've done several loan mods for 21st Century.  They've always paid within 2-3 weeks.  I feel they are very legit and will continue to do business with them when they call.

  Thank you Kelly!  In my opinion, you have just announced to the world that you are: lacking in judgment; morally deficient; greedy; probably in violation of FL laws; and a bit dim. However…that said….there are probably many that will take your advice.

  Re: She probably works for them!
  Well Lisa, I think that if we take a closing for them, of course we work for them. They are the ones that are paying us. I just think that we are all just being too judgmental about everything this company does. If you go onto their website WWW.21stcenturyremod.COM it will show you some of their many finalized cases. I don't think that if this company was fraudulent that they would be getting so many referrals. There was a signing that I serviced for them a couple of days ago and the clients were referred to the company by a previously satisfied costumer. They were telling me how when they spoke with their loan representative he was professional about how he explained everything. Then when they spoke with the young lady to set the appointment that she was polite and professional about it as well. Of course we all have our problems trying to get a hold of the loan officer or the client, but if you are patient and persistent, you can get the appointment set. I had a client where I had to call him several times before I could get an appointment set with them. It was frustrating of course but you just have manage your time right and know that it's not always going to be easy to get a hold of people. So in all of that I can say that I will gladly represent myself as a 21st Century Legal Services Representative.

  I've done only one of these loss mitigation "deals" with their up-front charges, and vowed to not ever do another ... apart from the low signing fee paid.  It's just I didn't feel comfortable sitting there in front of those people who were grasping at straws to save their homes, which may or may not happen ... if you read the reports on this kind of activity. Very much reminds me of those days in the past, sitting in front of sub-prime borrowers listening to their loan officer's line of (you know what) on the speaker phone telling them all the (wrong) reasons why they should go ahead and sign the loan dox. Had to bite my tounge so hard, I thought I might have to go to the emergency room to have it stitched up! Not good karma. Yeah, I know we're supposed to be impartial participants in the process, but IMHO, there are times when I feel we need to take the moral high ground and decline to be involved. We all have choices ... this is mine.

  I am with you guys, I cant sit there and act like i dont know they are making a big mistake and being taken advantage of.  A colleague of mine offered to let me in on this where they the company charges like fifteen hundred and whatever over you charge you get to keep, sorry i dont want any part of that scheme, i have to sleep at night and heaven forbid i run into them later after they have lost everything, i couldnt live with myself.

  Maybe we could keep these posts in Signing Central & end the controversy and suspected "advertising".  Everyone will decide for themselves whether to take these assignments or not.

  Carolyn, If I'm Wrong...
  ...I'll be glad to apologize to Leslie & to Brenda for that matter.  Brenada knows I was only tweaking her a little bit.  I could have sworn from past postings Les' gender was female.  The question is, are you willing to apologize for your little swipe at me?

Reply by BrendaTx on 2/11/09 9:08am   Msg #277161
  Dennis...you sure don't owe me an apology!
  I, too, have seen the evidence and/or innuendo on this forum that Les is female.  
  Some things just aren't for plebes like me to know and/or understand.     
  I leave loftier and more important positions such as "record keeping of sex determination of non-image bearing posters" to WDMD/MD and PL/WA who, by the way, have both presented themselves to be male.  (In my mind they both bear a striking resemblance to Cosmo Kramer aka Michael Richards although not enough to be identical twins.)  As far as Les_Co goes, I'm seeing someone who is or has been blond in the past,  but honestly...I am not getting the male or female vibe one way or the other on Les.  
  Wait...I've forgotten...um...what was it we were talking about??

  ...what transpired this past Monday with my beloved Jayhawks falling to their hated rivals Mizzou.  What a downer!  And I'm not real sure we want to talk about what's transpiring down in College Station with your Aggies either.  I really like your new coach, Mark Turgeon, though.  It doesn't hurt that he's a KU grad!

  Re: Dennis...you sure don't owe me an apology!
  Sorry Gals! I have never been blond. I’m mostly gray now. Yes, my first name is Leslie…something my Mom cursed me with many years ago. Kind of like “A boy named Sue,” and I am of the male gender. I hope this doesn’t disappoint anyone? I know most “Notary Signing Agents” are women, as are most people with long experience in the Title business. I have been a licensed Real Estate Broker here in CO since the 70’s, with many contacts, and friends in the Title business. I started in this (NSA) business years ago as a favor to someone running a Title company office. All her closers were women, and there were times that for one reason or another the borrower wanted to close not in the TC’s office, but in their home. The policy was that no women could go to a gentleman’s home at night. So I, being familiar with the doc’s, did these closings. Then things got busy, and I went from one a month, to three or more a day. Anyway…enough about me!  But…yup.. I’m a Guy, and an old one at that!  I have not tried to be misleading.

  Thank You for the Clarification...
  ...& I do apologize for inferring otherwise.  If anyone has been doing the misleading here, it's me.  For my future edification you're now a part of my database with the notation "Leslie is a MALE!".  The mistake won't be repeated, at least by me anyway.

  No apologies necessary Dennis! I for one have never believed that intelligence or wit had anything to do with gender. Although I may not always agree with your posts, I do enjoy reading them. Thanks for contributing.

  Wait a minute---
  Did we not all sit silently (as we're supposed to) and watch people signing ARMs, loans with 'teaser' rates, interest only, stated income, maybe even make several trips to the same home while they, once again, refi'd to eliminate credit card debt that they'd run up again after the last refi and did we not all at some point hear an LO lie? And that was OK.  But this is wrong.  What has changed?  Little bit hypocritical, huh?

  Re: Wait a minute---
  I appreciate the frustration, Lee - but that's a pretty wide brush you're using.  I had certain brokers whose closings I did refuse and I doubt I'm alone in this camp.  Just as now I have certain mitigation/modification applications I exercise my right to refuse - and as we see, I am not alone in this camp, either.
  BUT - even so, I do think we need to allow for those who might also just be looking back at the past, and deciding it's not the way they want to be now.  You know, live and learn - not learn and live, right?  =)

Reply by John/CT on 2/11/09 1:43pm   Msg #277181
  No, Lee, not hypocritical ...
  The scenario you painted (as I did in an earlier post) happend well AFTER we accepted the assignment ... without any prior knowledge as to whether the loan was good or bad.  And, for all intent and purpose, we couldn't have because even the Signing Service wouldn't have known either. This have only been evident when we had the dox in hand, and actually sitting there with the borrowers. Too late for us (at least me) to walk away. Not true with those so called loss mitgation/loan modification deals ... and I'm not talking about the legitimate loan mods offered by the original lender. We (can) know up front about those other "deals", and decline ... which is what I do.  That's "what has changed".

  Please check out the report on the BBB website and Ripoffreport.com or simply Google them! As a notary, we are commissoned by our state and have taken an oath to uphold our moral standards.  You could be hauled into court for knowingly representing this company that has taken money from desperate homeowners without any guarantees.  With an "F" rating on the Better Business Bureau I am not taking any chances working for them or giving them my personal information.  What if they try to scam you?  They asked me to send over my w-9, drivers license, notary registration etc and I will not be notarizing one document!  Further more, they want me to act as a representative of their company!  Who is to say they won't use my information for fraud? There are other legitimate companies out there willing to help home owners stay in their homes.  Accept assignments from these companies, not the ones that are ultimately going to put these homeowners out onto the streets.

  I have to agree with Kelly I have had no problems with them at all.  I look foward to working with them again,  As a matter of fact have referred quite of few people to them and they are already in the process of the program.
