Can somebody tell me if they have heard of a company called PRG System in Chula Vista CA.  Apparently it is run by a guy named Pable Rodolfo Gonzales who has been an investor for over thirty years (according to the website).

Realtors are bringing their clients and leads to this company promising to get their equity back even if they are three to six months late on payments. Realtors apparently get paid for these referrals (this is heresay).

This company charges clients aprox $1,000 to try and perform a "short pay." Apparently the PRG company has investors who buy the property from the struggling homeowner at 65% of the "fair market value" and then the investors either sell it back to the homeowner at a 10% premium or the homeowner can sell it to anyone at the new lower price plus the 10% premium to the investors.

They promise Instant Equity For The Struggling Desperate Homeowner Who's Behind On Their Payments And Living In A Home That Has Depreciated Big Time!

First I have to ask, Are they doing a short sale with the original lender?  If so, they are not selling it back to the owner as they will not be able to obtain financing.  Short sales I am afraid are looked at by FHA and lenders of all types as foreclosures.  Therefore the people would not qualify to purchase the home back.  They could not get a mortgage.  Thus the investor has a home he bought for 65% and may lease it back to them.  But he is now earning the equity.

Sounds fishy to me.  The old saying, if it sounds too good to be true.....it probably is.

The topic asks if loan modificaiton is legitimate, I can say with out a doubt yes it is.  Your post does not address loan modification, which is a permanent change in the terms of the original note.

I'm sure they will do well.  There's an uninformed consumer born every minute.

I'd contact the state's attorney and see if there are any complaints.  This advertisement is full of misstatements.
