Last october I searched for help to prevent foreclosure on my home, I came across infinity funding group. I contacted them to find out what they could do and was given a list of things that would happen. I hold 2 mortgages on my house wamu is the primary and countrywide is the second. I first spoke to steve levy then was passed onto kieran rogers. Kieran stated that they could get the first mortgage rate lowered and fixed as far as the second mortgage he stated in a foreclosure they loose everything. My second mortgage was 78000. He said that worst case scenario would be payments of 250.00 as opposed to the 589. I am paying. Kieran said the fee was a mortgage payment which between the 2 it came to 1866.00.
The bottom line I was promised quite a bit such as lower payments lower principle and my credit would be cleaned up which sounded good to me except it never happened. If you check the site they claim it comes with a money back guarantee. But its been almost a month trying to get my money back I have been dealing with jpepio the vp it took almost 2 weeks to get a release form sent to me for a refund but the amount was for the first mortgage only 1276. And as stated I payed them 1866.00. Now I am trying to get the correct form from jim pepio but he seems to be ignoring my emails and phone calls. I also filed a claim with the bbb in ny. Hoping someone can help get my refund as my situation has not changed and will end up getting foreclosed. So anyone thinking of using one these companies you would be better of to handle it yourself, these companies are taking advantage of people that can't afford it and that have hopes of getting help. Once they get paid you are no longer of interest.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Yes Johnnynoeyezz is John Oldring, I'm not the owner of the company noR was i ever in control of the company money. it's unfortunate that all of keiran rodgers clients as well as all the other employees that worked for that company got thrown on to me. little do you know, i worked for over one year without making 1 dollar, trying my best to work with the attorney's that we were using. as for jim and neil the two crooks who robbed clients and employees working for the company. clients who deserve their money back should get it, i had no control over company funds no i had no control over what the owner and vp did, jim pepio or neil singer.
i'm sorry for what has happend, .

IF ANYONE SHOULD BE SLANDERED IT SHOULD BE JAMES PEPIO OR NEIL SINGER THE OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF THE COMANY AND OF THE FUNDS THEY CONTROLED
Update on Infinity. i contacted the New York State Department of Law, Consumer Frauds and Protection Bureau. Apparently, our Infinity Funding Group has skipped town, however, they stated that you may be able to find out where they are by going to www.newyork.bbb.org. The Attorney General in New York states that if I can find out the new location of the company, they can assist in mediation. They also stated that the company may not be insolvent and may be able to pay all or part of your claim. Enough people need to write to the Bureau of Consumer Frauds and Protection, 300 Motor Parkway #205, Hauppauge, NY [protected].
In the alternative, we need to band together and get a class action lawsuit filed against them for fraud. I understand that if New York can't locate them, they can't be prosecuted for fraud, however, they need to be held accountable.
If anyone has a new address for them or if they are doing business under another name, please let me know. There was also a law firm out of new york that was working with them.
They obviously have closed down as their phones were disconnected and the emails would not go through in early summer of 2009 but I am sure that the owners can be found. My husband and I have already called the Attorney General's Office in New York and we do have a case number but will all of the fraud cases that they have to get through, it is going to be some time before anything is done.
As for the BBB, they did absolutley nothing when we submitted a complaint so I don't really see how they can help now. I don't trust that organization at all.
The law firm that was working for them when we unwittingly handed over our money was Rubin and Licatesi. Richard Rubin informed me months ago that his firm stopped working for them almost a year ago.
We will keep searching and post anything that we can find.
Yeah for Attorney General Andrew Cuomo! A lawsuit was filed on March 25, 2010, against Infinity Funding Group and Neil Singer. I was going to put up a link but all that needs to be done is a basic search and there are several links to the story. Hopefully we will all see some or all of our money back. What's his name, above, doesn't have to worry about being "slandered" anymore. I never had to worry about him anyway. I never dealt with him...
I too was scammed by infinity. I lost $2600. I filed a complaint with the FTC. Fortunately I never lost my house. I contact the Feds. My loan was remodified through Fanny May. Never the less Infinity put my family and I through hell. The promised to help. They didn't do a thing. I fought long and hard to keep my house and I did. I didn't buy a house I couldn't afford. It was just the economy. I took a 8% pay cut as all has reduced hours, and my wife lost her job. I'm bless to say things have turned around for us but, there's still a matter of Infinity defrauding many families. We need to get together and file a class action lawsuit against his company. Infinity preyed on families going through tough times and destroyed their dreams, and most importantly, our families. My name is Miguel Vega. My e-mail mvega1974@hotmail.com. Let's all communicate and file suit against Infinity. They need to be stopped and brought to justice!
I have to say I am shocked about all the negative complaints about this company I dealt with them for about 7 mos. a couple of years ago and they saved my home I dealt with a gentleman Jim Pepio who was very professional he pulled through and did everything he promised to do. Thanks to him I am living in my home today happily with my children.
I just want to make sure that the names JIM PEPIO, JOHN OLDRING, KIERAN ROGERS, and NEIL SINGER stay fresh in the pages of the internet so everyone know what a bunch of scam artists they are! Thanks fellas!
ELMONT (WABC) -- Two Long Island-based companies who claim a hugely successful record of foreclosure rescues across the country are being investigated for scamming customers nationwide.
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced lawsuits against National Modification Service and Infinity Mitigation Services, as well as owners Joseph Romano and Neil Singer Thursday afternoon.
The two companies promised to modify 98 percent of mortgage foreclosures by working directly with banks. Authorities say the companies forced customers to pay 1 percent of the mortgage upfront, which is illegal.
"As New Yorkers and others across the country fight to stay afloat in these tough times, we continue to see dishonest companies preying on vulnerable homeowners, " Cuomo said. "These companies pretend to be reaching out a helping hand, but instead they push consumers further down into debt and, in some cases, into foreclosure."

The lawsuits against National Modification and Infinity allege that the companies charged homeowners up-front fees of several thousand dollars, a violation of New York law. In addition, the companies used misleading advertising and made false representations to customers, including unsubstantiated claims of over a 90 percent success rate and guarantees that they would be able to convert an adjustable-rate mortgage to a lower, fixed-rate mortgage.
The lawsuits also allege that the companies promised a 100 percent money-back guarantee, but then failed to provide refunds to customers that they scammed, often even refusing to answer the customers' calls.
The Attorney General's lawsuits against National Modification and Infinity seek to shut down the companies and provide restitution and damages to customers. The lawsuits also aim to prevent both National Modification and Infinity and their owners from ever providing foreclosure rescue services.
In addition, the lawsuit seeks penalties and costs from the companies and their principals. Collectively, the companies may be subject to penalties of $1 million and potentially much more.
The foreclosure crisis has claimed the homes of thousands of New Yorkers across the state. In January 2010 alone, there were 4, 569 foreclosed properties in New York, and 1 in every 1, 737 housing units had received notice of foreclosure.
Under the law in New York, foreclosure rescue companies are required to provide clients with contracts, let financially vulnerable homeowners know that there are non-profit counselors that can help them for free, and refrain from charging up-front fees.
Consumers who are unable to make their mortgage payments should call their lender immediately to discuss the available alternatives to foreclosure. Many lenders offer foreclosure avoidance programs and have pledged publicly to assist distressed borrowers.
To find counselors approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in your local area, call [protected] or visit HUD.gov. To obtain foreclosure assistance or contact your mortgage lender, call the Federal Housing Administration at 800-CALL-FHA or visit FHA.gov.
Consumers who believe they are being targeted or defrauded by a foreclosure rescue company that may be engaging in unlawful conduct are urged to contact the Attorney General's Office at [protected] or visit the Attorney General's new Web site NYProtectYourHome.com.
Just wondering if anyone ever received anything back from these thieves? I am planning on calling the Attorney General's Office of New York tomorrow to see if I can get any info on this case.
I have not heard anything. I wrote to Andrew Cuomo's office and din not hear a thing. Will try again.
Has anyone received anything back from these frauds? They were found guilty and ordered to repay the fees and pay restitution. We haven't heard a thing and it would be nice to have our money back.
I am planning on attempting to start a class action suit before it is too late. If you are interested, please let me know. The judgement was for over 8 million and no one received anything? I contacted the Attorney Generals Office in New York and got no where. Don't let them get away with this fraud. We lost our home and our money. They contracted with us to prevent this...
