You are a victim of foreclosure rescue scheme. Contact an experienced real estate attorney in your local area immediately for assistance or you can contact my office for a referral to real estate attorney who handles real estate litigation who may able to assist you. In the interim, contact the Attorney General's Office to report this company.

Re: Real Estate/lease option to buy

Attorney Phillips is correct. This is a foreclosure rescue scheme. First, they have to evict you and you have a claim of constructive ownership based on their representations.

I would contact the Attorney General's office immediately. Next I would contact a real estate attorney like myself in your area to assist you.

Please feel free to contact me if you have more questions.
