I'll be the guinea pig!!!
Have any of you tried the service or know of anyone who has? I have done alot of research and I have been unable to find anyone who has posted a complaint anywhere on the entire World Wide Web. If this is a scam don't you think at least one person would report this scam and share to the world about their experience? So stop all your talking and put your money where your mouth is. Thats what I am going to do. I am a real homeowner with real life issues. I have recently lost my employment in Nov of 08 and have not made a payment for the last 2 months. I have been denied a loan modification and any further assistance. All I have asked for is some time to find employment and modify the loan so we can afford to stay in our home. Times have been tough. Everything costs more now than it did a year ago and its tough to find any work that will pay like it did a year ago. I know of many other families in my community going through the same thing. So I have done my due diligence and I have listened to the recorded conference calls and I understand what it is that Last Solutions does and I will put up the money to see if they can do what they say. Then I will report this... good or bad to every forum that has this discussion so others in my situation will be properly informed, instead of rambling on and on without proof of anything. I don't see why you are attacking Last Solutions without sufficient evidence of any sort. What if they can help us? What then have you done to pursuade others who have read this post and decided not to give Last Solutions a chance and ended up losing their home? What then? Again I will post my experience with Last Solutions soon and I will provide an update each step of the way so you all will be informed properly.

UPDATE...
Well I decided to wait and participate in the Tuesday night 8PM conference before sending in the $1995.00. It was very lengthy but if anyone is interested in this program, I highly recommend that you participate in this conference call or call in and listen to a recorded call from previous. I have some good news and some bad news to report.
PROS...
- After the conference call, I am more informed on how this program works and feel confident that I know what it is YourLastSolution is doing to "FREEZE" my mortgage.
- The Q and A was very informative and it did answer the many questions I had such as... if my mortgage is "frozen" what happens if my taxes and my insurance is escrowed... or what if I have a 2nd mortgage... or if I have a loan... etc. It was all answered in the Q and A...
Conference call on Tuesday January 20th, 2009.
CONS...
- I was disappointed that there was no one that could provide a testimonial on the call. I wanted an unbias opinion, the only testimony was from the people associated with YourLastSolution. I must admit that did raise a flag for me, I was highly disappointed.
- During the Q and A there was an appointed person from YourLastSolution that read the "Questions" from his computer. I didn't understand why the questions couldn't be from the people themselves. I had a question and wanted it answered but there was not an option for me to ask it. It seemed as if my phone was muted. Luckily for me my questions were asked by someone else, but I fail to understand how that person was able to ask the question and I was not. Very weird, another flag.
- Before Tuesday I listened to the recorded Conference call by calling 402-426-6969 and used the access code 60044358#. This is made available 7 days a week 24 hours a day. Funny thing is that when I called in on Tuesday using 402-237-2020 access 014528#. It was very strange to me that it sounded like the recording... the reason I say this is because there is a point in the call where the appointed person who reads our Q and A has problems with his computer. And when the narrator asks him to begin asking the questions there is a delay as if the narrator was not sure if he was on the call and calls out his name again. This happened both times on the recorded call as well as the proposed "LIVE" call. Then when he starts reading the Questions he has trouble with is computer and states that there is an issue with is computer. Again this happened both times on the recorded call as well as the proposed "LIVE" call. Now I must admit that during the 1st call I made which was a recorded conference call, I fell asleep during the Q and A portion with the phone in my hand (the call was over 2 hours long) so I wasn't sure if the questions were the same or not, but pretty much the entire call was EXACT... BIG BIG FLAG!!!
SO after what I have found, I was starting to rethink my decision to send in the $1995.00. After all that is alot of money, but I have already committed to this not only here in the forum but in 1 other public forum and 2 private forums. So as a good investigator I cannot let everyone down who is waiting for my report so I will go through with this and send in the money. Now I really hope this works because if it doesn't, I WILL lose my home and MY WIFE will KILL me. Well I hope the LORD will help me through this tough time and I hope that YourLastSolution will come through for all of our sakes. Because I know many many people that this program can help and if not at least maybe I helped alot of you to save your money looking for other solutions.
- Check in on my next update. I will make the payment tomorrow and update when there is new NEWS!
God Bless everyone...

UPDATE 1-27-2009
Last Thursday I received an email from David Brandolino from YourLastSolution and a call asking if I was going to move forward and send in my payment. I informed him that I wanted to participate in the conference call before sending in the payment. I raised my concern with him about the Flags that I encountered and he reassured me that the calls may seem very similar as the questions will too because it is the same information and questions that are always shared and asked. He offered to provide some contacts of recent and current customers for testimonials and I accepted.
On Friday I sent in my $1995.00 cashiers check along with the completed Long Program form in, crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. I sent David an email to notify that payment has been sent.
Monday I received an email with 2 names and phone numbers. I called the first number and left a VM to return my call. I got in contact with the 2nd person at work, and she was able to give me 5 minutes of her time.
My 1st question... As a customer of YourLastSolution, how satisfied are you with their service, did they do everything for you as they promised? (now the answer I received was not what I wanted to hear, but it was exactly what I was looking for).
Her Answer... (not word for word but this is what was said) "I was very happy at 1st but now my house is being sold as a Sheriff Sale! I have tried calling and emailing YourLastSolution and have not recieved a response... at first the response was quick and the program was working, now my house is involved in a Sheriff Sale and I cannot get anyone to return my call or emails to help get my house out of this mess.
ME>>> Who are you trying to get a hold of David Brandolino?
HER>>> No (she mentions another name but I forgot), he is an affiliate and is not returning my call. I have to let you go, I am at work right now but if you call me back in an hour I can go into further detail.
ME>>> Just one more quick question please... Does this program really work?
HER>>> It does work, I know it is working for others I know and they haven't paid a mortgage for the past 2 going on 3 years. But for some reason it is not working for me, I don't know what it is but I have a special case even they (YourLastSolution) said they don't know what it is. I really have to go, call me back in an hour and we can discuss.
I wasn't able to call her back today... but I will call her again tomorrow to get more information. After this discussion, I thought about calling my bank to cancel the Cashiers Check but after some thought I decided to stay the course. WHY?... because what other alternative do I have... after all she did say it worked for others she knows. 2-3 years of not paying a mortgage??? How ridiculous is that, it would definately help my family tremendously. Now I know that it is not right to take advantage of the program but desparate times call for desparate measures and I dont know of anyone who couldnt use 2-3 years to help them get back on track.
OK but her house is in a Sheriff Sale and she could lose her house. I dont know what a Sheriff Sale is but it sounds like the Sheriff wants to sell her house for whatever reason. I dont want to end up like that so I will need to speak to her tomorrow and find out more about this and see what YourLastSolution is doing to help her. But the key here was that she said that she is a "special case" meaning there is something not normal with her mortgage or her lender. I will get more info and find out.
P.S. I am getting a huge amount of emails to my email address... alot are unnecessary since you can easily post your questions in this forum to get the help and answers you need. Some emails are very valid but others should be posted here so the community can help. I am not an expert, if you have a question specifically for me then ask away but if it is program related ask it here in this forum.

Update
1-28-2009
To be honest, I started this out thinking I need help and why not help others at the same time by posting my experiences with this program for the benefit of anyone in my situation. But it has become a full time job answering emails, calling for testimonials, updating forums, sending out emails for advice and you know what? I don’t mind it a bit. I feel very satisfied in doing my part to help others; this is my service to the community. I am learning a lot about the mortgage industry, the side of it that no one even knew existed or understands. The best part is I am feeling more confident in this program with each call and testimonial. Here is what I learned today.
I was able to get a hold of Debbie (I informed her about the forum and she didn’t mind that I share her name) again today. We continued where we left off yesterday. Again she informed me that she didn’t have much time so I started immediately. Again the following is not word for word but the content is what I remember how the conversation took place.
Lark (my real name is Truc Nguyen just in case anyone was wondering) >>> Yesterday you mentioned you couldn’t get a hold of someone to help you get some answers about the Sheriff Sale. Could you share that name with me?
Debbie>>> his name is Max Andover
Lark>>> is he the affiliate who is supposed to help you with your case?
Debbie>>> No, he is the owner.
Lark>>> Shouldn’t you try contacting your affiliate? Aren’t they the ones who will help you get the answers you need?
Debbie>>> I cannot get a hold of anyone. No one is returning my calls.
Lark>>> I have been in direct communication with David and Robert Brandolino the past few days. Everytime I send an email or call they pick right up, maybe you should try one of them.
Debbie>>>You know I haven’t had a lot of time for it. I am trying to keep my house, I have to work. It’s a big headache.
Lark>>>Let me do this for you. I will contact one of them for you and see if I can get an update for you and I promise you I will return a call and get you an update or have someone call you with one. I don’t expect the owner will return calls as quickly as maybe David or Robert.
Debbie>>>Thank you.
Lark>>>It’s good that we are helping each other out. Glad I can help. You also mentioned that you know of others that this program has helped. Is it someone you know personally or just testimonials form YourLastSolution?
Debbie>>>I know them personally. One of my friends hasn’t paid a mortgage close to 3 years and I know others over 2 years. I am the only one who seems to be having this issue.
Lark>>>Well I am sure there is a good reason for it and we will get to the bottom of this. So I still have to ask. Would you recommend this program to anyone.
Debbie>>>No.
Lark>>>What do you mean. Why not? You know of couples that it has worked for.
Debbie>>>Well, I only recommend it if you have the time. You have to get the program started early. Do not wait too long because the longer you wait the more complicated it gets and you could be facing a Sheriff Sale. I have to go but please update me if you can.
Lark>>>I will, and thank you again Debbie for your time.
Immediately after the conversation I emailed David Brandolino and he replied immediately. I updated him on Debbie’s situation and I expect an answer back shortly. I will share this once I receive the update.
Then I called another contact that David provided. Her name is Melissa. Melissa has not paid a mortgage payment since August 2006. The reason she hasn't paid a payment is because her mortgage company has not provided her a modification loan in this time. She just recently received a call from her mortgage company regarding a loan modification after over 2 1/2 years. She wants to keep her home of 20 years and doesn't want to move and it looks like she will get it to keep it with a loan modification that she deserves. She strongly suggested that anyone who is looking at this program get started before receiving an NOS (Notice of Sale). She highly recommends the program to start on or before receiving an NOD (Notice of Default). This she says will give YourLastSolution enough time to prepare all of the paperwork and get the ball rolling before the judge has a chance to rule on a Sheriff Sale.
Needless to say Melissa is extremely satisfied with her experience with YourLastSolution.
After speaking with Melissa I felt very comfortable and confident in the program. As I am writing this I received an email from Robert with my 1st and 2nd mailings with instructions on when to send each letter. I have not read each letter but I will and provide an update of the general contents of each letter intended for my mortgage company.
Looks to be getting better, I think we may have a good alternative to bankruptcy for keeping our homes.
