I GOT RIPPED OFF BY THIS ATTORNEY!



Being a homeowner under water and in foreclosure, I received a post card from Maria Flynn and scheduled an appointment for loan modification assistance I thought. At the time I signed a contract with Maria Flynn, unbeknownst to me that "Upfront Fee's" was illegal to perform loan modification services in Maryland. Additionally, an attorney can't operate their law firm exclusively for loan modifications 100% of the time, according to the Office of The Commissioner of Financial Regulation enforcement unit. Also the requirement of anyone providing loan modification services are required to have a Business Credit Services license issued by the state of Maryland, including attorneys and Maria Flynn did not have this license. At the time of me paying my retainer fee, Ms. Flynn was acting inappropriately and unethical by accepting my monies without being licensed by the State of MD. Its hard to believe that Maria Flynn was unknowledgeable to the fact that loan modification services is FREE TO ALL MARYLAND HOMEOWNERS and that she was acting improperly. Maria Flynn business practices are questionable. I requested from Maria Flynn a full refund of $3,200.00 in writing . I sent a certified letter back in August 2013 to Maria Flynn office requesting a full refund within 30 days of receipt of my letter and she ignored it.



FYI:



On July 23, 2014, the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation issued a cease and desist order against the Law Office of Maria Flynn. The order was prompted by allegations that the firm operated an illegal loan modification scheme. Allegations include: "(using) their status as law firms as a marketing tool to provide the appearance of legal representation and an air of trustworthiness, while providing little or no legal services, misrepresenting the success of the services that they do provide and charging illegal advance fees. After collecting upfront fees, these operations often fail to negotiate successful loan modifications, placing their victims at even greater risk of financial loss and foreclosure."

A hearing will take place on October 27th, 2014 in order to finalize charges.
