Since 2008, over 5-and-a-half million homes have been foreclosed on. In fact, in this same time period homeowners have reported losses in excess of $104 million dollars with the average loss around $3,500 per household. These companies have targeted everyone – no matter their age, education, income, or community. Even deployed military and their families are targets!

The bottom line is that anyone who struggles with their mortgage payments is at risk.
