Did the Media Prevent Homeowners from getting Helpful Information?
A press release found at Yahoo suggests that the Las Vegas media outlets may be overlooking the needs of Las Vegas homeowners. Some excerpts from the release can be found below.
“We have institutional criminal activity on a mass scale and the media have done nothing to help educate and protect the public,” said Consumer Advocate Harj Gill. Gill is also a Mortgage Reduction Expert, Bestselling author, as well Founder & President of American Mortgage Educators.
Attendees at the latest Mortgage Bankers Association fraud conference in Chicago agreed that it is going to take the FBI, state efforts, state attorneys general, neighborhood activists — and individuals — to help prevail against widespread fraud and malpractices.
In Las Vegas, NV where foreclosures rates increased by 99% from January to February, Gill presented a community service seminar to teach homeowners how to avoid losing their homes. In addition to covering all his expenses, Gill donated copies of his book and financial software program to help attendees create a personal foreclosure protection plan.
According to Gill, all requests to the LV media for assistance in promoting the free educational seminar were ignored.
“The tragedy is that thousands of Las Vegans missed out on crucial information to help them save their homes,” he said.
