CFLA HAS AN A+++++ RATUING WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU

Hello, you did a securitization audit for me in 2014. Guess what? Chase agreed to settle for 11k, which was only PART of the property tax owed. The bankruptcy court approved the settlement agreement so It is a done deal. Once I submitted your audit, in my amended objection to their proof of claim, they started talking about a settlement. Anyway, I am interested in taking your three day course at a future date. Thanks again.

I went to this seminar to help people in foreclosure save their homes. Google SECRITIZATION SCAMS.

Wasted my money and my time!

I paid $3,000 to attend the securitization audit seminar a few months ago and the person teaching the class was totally unprepared. Hesimply read from a book and you could not hear what he was saying. He had nooutline, no material to hand out and when it came time to take the test, and the material on the test was very little that he taught on. In fact I took the exam but was unable tocomplete of it. They told us that we would know at the end of the seminar if we passed or not. More than one month passed and I did not hear from anyone so I complained about the class and demanded my money back because I learned absolutely nothing and was unable to use any of the material that was given or taught during the seminar. It was a total waste of time AND LATER LEARNED THATMOST MORTGAGE SECURITIZATION AUDITS WERE SCAMS. I went to this seminar because I thought I could help the homeowner but later found out that this business simply bleeds the homeowner of needed funds, giving them false hope and they ultimately wind up losing their homes in foreclosure. I urge anyone that considers paying and attending this seminar to ask how many people actually go on and use this material successfully and make a business out of it and actually help the troubled homeowner save their home.

The material taught, in my opinion, at least in the seminar that I attended was not beneficial at all. It not only cost me transportation, a hotel and meals, and the time away from my job (a big loss and waste of time).

Do not fall for this seminar. GOOGLE SECURITIZATON AUDIT SCAMS. The following is the one of the first things you will find when searching Mortgage Securitization audit scams.

Masquerading under the impressive-sounding title of a "mortgage securitization audit," a new scam is bleeding financially-pressured homeowners out of their dwindling funds.

Sometimes simply called a "mortgage audit" or a "forensic document review," the service supposedly combs through all of the documents relating to a mortgage, looking for mistakes or even frauds in those documents.

The purported aim is either to help homeowners escape foreclosure or to strengthen their case for a loan

modification, which will ease their repayments. That sounds like a pretty good idea, except for two things:

Many so-called mortgage securitization companies actually do nothing at all but collect a couple thousand dollars from their victims.

Or maybe, they'll produce an impressive looking set of documents that are actually publicly available and have no legal value.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer watchdog, has publicly denounced the use of mortgage audits, even if they're done properly and legally.

Initially the Class was taught by Andrew Lehman, J.D., and Brendan McDonald, and Michael T.

It is CFLA’s hard stance in an otherwise unregulated Industry that has made for a better and safer place for the consumers who demand the cutting edge work product presently known as the Bloomberg Property Securitization Audit. CFLA prides itself as being on the forefront for compliance with its customers, trainees, and followers since its inception in or about 2009.

II. CFLA CONSUMER RELATED INFORMATION

In or about December 2018, CFLA, sent a Freedom of Information Act Request to the CFPB requesting copies of any and all complaints submitted to the FTC or FFPB referencing “CFLA” or regarding “CFLA” at any time since 2010.[iii] The results of this FOIAR yielding great information about the nature of the complaints from consumers concerning CFLA. Interesting to learn that the FTC and the CFPB had received 42 complaints regarding CFLA, however, only 3 of these complaints had CFLA named as the party/entity that the complaint was against (one in 2010, 2016, and 2018). In fact, the far standing majority of these complaints were as against Banks / Servicers, or other banking institutions with CFLA being represented in the complaint as assisting in the complaint process. Of the 3 complaints listed in the entire CFPB database regarding CFLA, 2 of them had already been refunded in their entirety, and only one consumer, a resident of the North Pole Alaska’s complaint still remained unresolved due to his difficulty traveling by sled to the CFLA Attorney Referral in Anchorage, AK.

Only 1 such consumer complaint existed since 2010 claiming “Fraud” which is the consumer from North Pole, AK. To give a fair ratio, CFLA produced more than 15,000 client files that it had completed for customers of CFLA since 2007. 3 of the consumer complaints against CFLA occurred during this time period referenced in the CID (e.g. 2014 – current). So given the 15,000 client files produced by CFLA during the period CFLA had a complaint ration of 1 in 5,000 customer which equates to a .000004%.

I. CFLA SELLS BLOOMBERG SECURITIZATION PROPERTY ANALYSIS REPORTS

As Business to Business providers of these auditing services CFLA provides the Bloomberg Securitization Audit Report with a Court Ready Expert Witness Affidavit from our Senior Auditor & Leading Expert, Michael Carrigan, in addition to

(1) Time Stamped Bloomberg Screenshots showing all the financial data of the trust including paid off, insurance, remics, loan forgiveness, loan mod info, re capitalization, etc,

(2) Copy of the Pooling & Servicing Agreement on the respective loan,

(3) Full Fraud & Robo Signing Analysis,

(4) Credit Default Swap Analysis,

(5) Full Chain of Title Analysis of Assignments & Transfers looking for

(a) defunct entity status,

(b) improper dates,

(c) improper signatures & endorsements,

(d) fraud,

(e) robosigning,

(6) Court Ready Expert Witness Affidavit Under Oath by Michael Carrigan attesting to the facts derived in the audit report.

Each CFLA Client executes an agreement that states the following, in pertinent part: (a) CFLA is NOT a Law Firm and we Do Not Provide Legal Advice, (b) CFLA Does NOT Provide Foreclosure Consulting Services, (c) CFLA Does NOT Offer or assist with any form of Loan Modification, (d) CFLA Is a Professional Auditing Company and Document Support Provider, € we do not transact on behalf of the Homeowner in any way, including sending letters, making phone calls, contacting banks, or filing and serving your legal documents. CFLA offers the Sale of Goods, and NOT Services, (f) CFLA always recommends that Homeowners use these cutting edge services in conjunction with the representation of a Licensed Attorney in their respective Jurisdiction, (g) that the use of the CFLA Legal Forms is not the substitute for the actual advice of an attorney, (h) finally that all work generated on behalf of CFLA for CLIENT shall be under the direct supervision of an Attorney Licensed in their Appropriate Jurisdiction [iv]

II. CFLA HAS AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION IN THE TRADE WITH CONSUMERS, CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES, CONSUMER TRADE SITES, AND OTHERWISE

CFLA has been registered with the Better Business Bureau and has maintained an A+ rating on its business since January of 2010. CFLA has had very few complaints and those complaints were responded to quickly, and resolved by CFLA. CFLA Has been cited by the BBB as (1) having very few complaints, (2) Transparent Business Practices, and (3) No known Advertising Issues. [v]

CFLA also maintains an AAA rating with the Business Consumer Alliance as having responded

(1) responded to consumer complaints promptly,

(2) resolving consumer complaints directly with clients fairly, and

(3) making appropriate representations online regarding the company.

[vii] Furthermore, as evidence by the FOIA Request Produced by the Bureau, CFLA Does Not facilitate very many consumer complaints having had only 3 consumer complaints in the 10 years of business reported to the CFPB and the FTC.

In determining whether an act or practice is unfair, the Bureau may consider established public policies as evidence to be considered with all other evidence. 12 USC 5531 (2).

CLFA Never Engages in Any Contact with Consumer’s Servicer as such would violate State law, and CFLA Does Not Provide Services Directly to the Consumer without Representation (See CFLA Customer Agreement) . Furthermore,

(1) CFLA Does Not Practice law and

(2) CFLA Does Not perform any type of Loan Modification.

The Reason That CFLA Does Not Negotiate Directly with the Consumers Dwelling or Servicer is to avoid violating State Law Statutes Restricting the unlawful Practice of Law. This was the major consideration when CFLA formed it business back in 2007. CFLA Wanted to Avoid Breaking Laws and as a result it required all of its Clients to have representation, evinced by the customers executing a service agreement which stated CFLA’s Client Agreement States in Bold Inconspicuous Form as follows “CLIENT agrees and hereby covenants that all work generated on his behalf, or on behalf of his company, that is generated by CFLA or its members will be under the supervision of his/her attorney, licensed in the appropriate jurisdiction, The Bold Statements are intended to ensure that the Client Know up Front that CFLA is Not Performing a Mortgage Foreclosure Relief Service on their behalf.

Each CFLA Client executes an agreement that states the following, in pertinent part:

(a) CFLA is NOT a Law Firm and we Do Not Provide Legal Advice,

(b) CFLA Does NOT Provide Foreclosure Consulting Services,

(c) CFLA Does NOT Offer or assist with any form of Loan Modification,

(d) CFLA Is a Professional Auditing Company and Document Support Provider,

(e) We do not transact on behalf of the Homeowner in any way, including sending letters, making phone calls, contacting banks, or filing and serving your legal documents. CFLA offers the Sale of Goods, and NOT Services,

(f) CFLA always recommends that Homeowners use these cutting edge services in conjunction with the representation of a Licensed Attorney in their respective Jurisdiction,

[viii] The Intent of the Founders was for this policy to stay in place because it would prevent CFLA Customer Service from engaging in the Unlawful Practice of Law Under State Laws.

CFLA has had very few complaints and those complaints were responded to quickly, and resolved by CFLA. CFLA Has been cited by the BBB as (1) having very few complaints, (2) Transparent Business Practices, and (3) No known Advertising Issues. [v]

CFLA also maintains an AAA rating with the Business Consumer Alliance as having responded

(1) responded to consumer complaints promptly,

(2) resolving consumer complaints directly with clients fairly, and

(3) making appropriate representations online regarding the company.

[vii] Furthermore, as evidence by the FOIA Request Produced by the Bureau, CFLA Does Not facilitate very many consumer complaints having had only 3 consumer complaints in the 10 years of business reported to the CFPB and the FTC.

In determining whether an act or practice is unfair, the Bureau may consider established public policies as evidence to be considered with all other evidence. 12 USC 5531 (2).

CLFA Never Engages in Any Contact with Consumer’s Servicer as such would violate State law, and CFLA Does Not Provide Services Directly to the Consumer without Representation (See CFLA Customer Agreement) . Furthermore,

(1) CFLA Does Not Practice law and

(2) CFLA Does Not perform any type of Loan Modification.

The Reason That CFLA Does Not Negotiate Directly with the Consumers Dwelling or Servicer is to avoid violating State Law Statutes Restricting the unlawful Practice of Law. This was the major consideration when CFLA formed it business back in 2007. CFLA Wanted to Avoid Breaking Laws and as a result it required all of its Clients to have representation, evinced by the customers executing a service agreement which stated CFLA’s Client Agreement States in Bold Inconspicuous Form as follows “CLIENT agrees and hereby covenants that all work generated on his behalf, or on behalf of his company, that is generated by CFLA or its members will be under the supervision of his/her attorney, licensed in the appropriate jurisdiction, The Bold Statements are intended to ensure that the Client Know up Front that CFLA is Not Performing a Mortgage Foreclosure Relief Service on their behalf.

Each CFLA Client executes an agreement that states the following, in pertinent part:

(a) CFLA is NOT a Law Firm and we Do Not Provide Legal Advice,

(b) CFLA Does NOT Provide Foreclosure Consulting Services,

(c) CFLA Does NOT Offer or assist with any form of Loan Modification,

(d) CFLA Is a Professional Auditing Company and Document Support Provider,

(e) We do not transact on behalf of the Homeowner in any way, including sending letters, making phone calls, contacting banks, or filing and serving your legal documents. CFLA offers the Sale of Goods, and NOT Services,

(f) CFLA always recommends that Homeowners use these cutting edge services in conjunction with the representation of a Licensed Attorney in their respective Jurisdiction,

[viii] The Intent of the Founders was for this policy to stay in place because it would prevent CFLA Customer Service from engaging in the Unlawful Practice of Law Under State Laws.

In addition to daily harassing phone calls if you don't take the course, the course itself is worthless to anyone who actually wants to help homeowners in foreclosure as opposed to those who only wish to sell more courses to more unsuspecting consumers.

Do not buy their course. It's a scam. Don't sell it either, you are being bought off. They told me the class was taught by attorneys. In fact, the only attorney that "teaches" is on Monday morning to give the "introduction and welcome" to the class.

They told me I would be able to negotiate a settlement easily as a non-attorney. I've discovered banks won't listen to anyone without a bar number. If you are not a licensed attorney, they will just put you in a holding pattern doomed for failure.

They told me I would be given work from their company. Instead they asked me to bring them clients and asked me to sign a "marriage document" of a non-compete.

They told me to read the testimonials from their former students. They didn't tell me that others had posted negative material they refused to post on their website, I had to learn that from calling their former students myself. They told me they were the only nationally certified school, but there is no such thing as national certification. The only certification I would get would be from another company they themselves had formed to certify their own courses.

Then I started asking around. They list all their "graduates" on their website, along with their "testimonials". I started to call them. I spoke with one who told me that NAMU.org was founded in January BY CFLA in order to "certify" their students so they could claim national certification by a non-profit company. He also said he was unimpressed with the calibur of their teaching, specifically stating the teachers were unable to calculate an APR rate. He said he allowed them to certify him on their website, because why not? He didn't ask for his money back because he figured he just got scammed and learned his lesson. He is based on Orlando. He struck a deal with them for 10K a month to teach their course for them. Which their

sales force will sell for him.

Andrew Lehman called anyone complaining with an offer of the same deal. He won't give a refund, it admits guilt. He offered clients to do his audits for him. I refused because his product isn't worth the paper it's written on as far as negotiations for the benefit of the homeowner are concerned. Mortgage evaluations must be done by an attorney and negotiated by an attorney in order to have any chance of success for the homeowner. Only an attorney doing the examination can comment competently on contract and tort law causes of action a homeowner may have against his or her lender.

It is CFLA’s hard stance in an otherwise unregulated Industry that has made for a better and safer place for the consumers who demand the cutting edge work product presently known as the Bloomberg Property Securitization Audit. CFLA prides itself as being on the forefront for compliance with its customers, trainees, and followers since its inception in or about 2009.

II. CFLA CONSUMER RELATED INFORMATION

In or about December 2018, CFLA, sent a Freedom of Information Act Request to the CFPB requesting copies of any and all complaints submitted to the FTC or FFPB referencing “CFLA” or regarding “CFLA” at any time since 2010.[iii] The results of this FOIAR yielding great information about the nature of the complaints from consumers concerning CFLA. Interesting to learn that the FTC and the CFPB had received 42 complaints regarding CFLA, however, only 3 of these complaints had CFLA named as the party/entity that the complaint was against (one in 2010, 2016, and 2018). In fact, the far standing majority of these complaints were as against Banks / Servicers, or other banking institutions with CFLA being represented in the complaint as assisting in the complaint process. Of the 3 complaints listed in the entire CFPB database regarding CFLA, 2 of them had already been refunded in their entirety, and only one consumer, a resident of the North Pole Alaska’s complaint still remained unresolved due to his difficulty traveling by sled to the CFLA Attorney Referral in Anchorage, AK.

Only 1 such consumer complaint existed since 2010 claiming “Fraud” which is the consumer from North Pole, AK. To give a fair ratio, CFLA produced more than 15,000 client files that it had completed for customers of CFLA since 2007. 3 of the consumer complaints against CFLA occurred during this time period referenced in the CID (e.g. 2014 – current). So given the 15,000 client files produced by CFLA during the period CFLA had a complaint ration of 1 in 5,000 customer which equates to a .000004%.

I. CFLA SELLS BLOOMBERG SECURITIZATION PROPERTY ANALYSIS REPORTS

I have a mortgage background and am no dummy, but I still lost $1000 to a Securitization Audit that a 3rd party company ordered from Certified Forensic Loan Auditors aka CFLA? I probably would have never known that their report was useless if a friend of a friend didnt happen to look at it. He explained some interesting things to me about CFLA so I wanted to make sure that people know what theyre getting from a CFLA or any of their affiliates for that matter. I did a lot of my own research and found everything he described to be true. So as you can imagine, Im a little ticked off.

1. CFLA offers a 2 days Certified Training Course. Certified by who exactly? It turns out, they certified themselves. There is no legislative body that licenses or certifies any person or company involved in securitization audits. CFLA also claim to be the only certified securitization auditor training course. Again, congrats on giving yourself a bogus certificate but it obviously means nothing if the data if my report is worthless.

2. If you search for it, youll easily find that they advertise their 2 day training courses all over the country. People with absolutely no experience in securitization attend these classes and after 2 days of training, theyre also Certified Securitization Auditors. Let me repeat: people with 2 days of experience are starting their own businesses and selling these reports as experts.

3.Dont take my word for it. Go to the CFLA website (http://www.certifiedforensicloanauditors.com/) and see a sample of their Securitization Report. Then, search the internet for securitization audit samples or securitization report samples - you will be amazed at how many reports look exactly like the CFLA report. In other words, that company took the 2 day certified class and immediately began to sell reports using the template that CFLA gave them. Sure, some of the fancy colors may have changed but cmon, Im not blind. When I saw a ton of variations of my report online, It made me feel like theyre just a report mill, trying to sell as many as they can while content isnt all that important. Isnt that how I got screwed by the banks in the first place?

4.The most important information in a securitization report is the identification of the Trust that supposedly bought your loan. Read the CFLA disclaimer on the last page carefully they GUESS the name of the Trust and claim no responsibility if the guess is wrong. CFLA calls their choice of the Trust an expert opinion but this is a matter of fact, not opinion. You should be given proof that the loan was sold.

5. How did I verify this for myself? I paid another company $700 to redo my report. The new report proved that CFLAs expert opinion was completely wrong I was given a long list of the mortgages owned by the newly named Trust and mine was highlighted clearly on the list. I asked the guy who I bought the CFLA report from if he was given that list of mortgages owned by the Trust? He told me that CFLA can offer that same service but only with their most expensive report. If I paid $1000 and didnt get that information, how much more would I have had to pay to get the actual facts? I dont even understand why you would offer a cheaper report that has someones crazy guess when you clearly have a way to verify the facts and provide proof? I might have even paid for it. $1500 for a report that helps me is still better than $1000 for a piece of crap. Mind you, I paid $700 to the other company and got exactly what I needed.

You get the point. I dont want to waste my day typing or yours reading my post. BUT - I would avoid any company that claims to be Certified Securitization Auditors. And ask to make sure that your report will have proof of your loan in the Trust. You should get a list like I did and you should be able to easily identify your loan. Also, ask for a sample of their report and if it looks like the sample on CFLA, Id be worried.

Like I said, dont take my word for it, do your own digging. Just remember, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck

Mortgage evaluations must be done by an attorney and negotiated by an attorney in order to have any chance of success for the homeowner. Only an attorney doing the examination can comment competently on contract and tort law causes of action a homeowner may have against his or her lender.

Interesting to learn that the FTC and the CFPB had received 42 complaints regarding CFLA, however, only 3 of these complaints had CFLA named as the party/entity that the complaint was against (one in 2010, 2016, and 2018). In fact, the far standing majority of these complaints were as against Banks / Servicers, or other banking institutions with CFLA being represented in the complaint as assisting in the complaint process. Of the 3 complaints listed in the entire CFPB database regarding CFLA, 2 of them had already been refunded in their entirety, and only one consumer, a resident of the North Pole Alaska’s complaint still remained unresolved due to his difficulty traveling by sled to the CFLA Attorney Referral in Anchorage, AK.

Only 1 such consumer complaint existed since 2010 claiming “Fraud” which is the consumer from North Pole, AK. To give a fair ratio, CFLA produced more than 15,000 client files that it had completed for customers of CFLA since 2007. 3 of the consumer complaints against CFLA occurred during this time period referenced in the CID (e.g. 2014 – current). So given the 15,000 client files produced by CFLA during the period CFLA had a complaint ration of 1 in 5,000 customer which equates to a .000004%.

CFLA has had very few complaints and those complaints were responded to quickly, and resolved by CFLA.

CFLA also maintains an AAA rating with the Business Consumer Alliance as having responded

(1) responded to consumer complaints promptly,

(2) resolving consumer complaints directly with clients fairly, and

BUYER BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!

My husband and I are retired senior citizens with serious health issues, we reached out to this company to assist us with the wrongful foreclosure of our home.

The principle owner, Mr. Andrew Lehman, was a high pressure, fast talking person who said if you sign up right now I will give you a discount.

I gave Mr. Lehman my credit card number because he told me he had to send me an authorization form via email in order to proceed, and I didn't believe he would or could charge my card without the authorization.

After hanging up with Mr. Lehman I did due dilligence and did a google search & checked the Rip Off Report. I didscovered there were several disgruntled people who said Mr. Lehaman had been fraudulently touting himself as a lawyer, which he is not. There were other complaints re: Mr. Lehman not delivering on his promises. Which sadly we found to ourselves in the same situation.

I immediately (within a few minutes) tried to call Mr. Lehman to tell him I did not wish to do business with his company based on these terrible reviews. I went straight to voice mail. I tried a 2nd time to reach Mr. Lehman, but to no avail. I then wrote to Mr. Lehman via email and told him I was very disappointed in what I found out about him and his company and told him I did not wish to move forward with his company. I told him I did not appreciate being lied to and asked that he please not charge my card.

I also told Mr. Lehman that I would report him to the Rip Off Report, the BBB, etc. if I didn't hear from him. Remarkably, Mr. Lehman called me back. He told me it was too late, stating he had already charged my card. I told him I did not sign his authorization form that he sent to me and he said he didn't need the form. Our conversation became heated, he ultimately asked if I would contact an attorney out of FL for a reference on him. The attorney he referred me to did not give a glowing review of Mr. Lehman or his company. Again, I felt misled.

Mr. Lehman then had another person call me to attest to Mr. Lehman's character., turns out that person was trained by his company, CFLA.

Mr. Lehman pulled the audit without my consent, despite me telling him I did not want to move forward. He called ultimately me to explain the contents of the report. During that call he had taken numerous and lengthy calls, leaving me on hold for much of the time. He was most unprofessional and left the impression that he was a one-man operation. He promised he would call me again, but did not.

I called Mr. Lehman several days later and he told me he did not have time to talk with me and said he had already explained the report and would not devote any more time without me paying him more money.

I never authorized the report in the first place!

I have included the brief email thread between us below to hopefully prevent others from encountering the same dreadful experience and unnecessary loss of their money.

BE CAREFUL...DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY...YOU WILL REGRET IT !
