The New York Times had a story today about the loan sharks that are trolling the ranks of folks seeking relief from resetting mortgage interest rates. Don’t take the bait!
Not if you hear it on the radio, read it in a newspaper ad or see it dancing across a web page.
Instead, call the City of Chicago 311 number and tell them that you are looking for assistance with a mortgage reset, or visit Neighborhood Housing Services, whose Home Ownership Preservation Initiative (HOPI) is a free service.
