-- "In the fire service, we say there's no substitute for training," said Kevin Hines, Orange County Legislature Public Safety Committee Chairman. Orange County Executive Ed Diana, along with fire officials, broke ground on a new burn building part of the Orange County fire training center. "The better training they have, the better knowledge they have and certainly the safer it is for them and http://cortrightlaw.com/location/Orange Attorney-attorney-office also safer for the public," said Diana. The $1.5 million burn building will help train about 2,000 volunteer and career firefighters from across Orange County in each year. "They're going to learn live burn training, so they're going to get heat exposure, smoke exposure, they're going to learn to stay low in fires, they're going to learn search and rescue techniques. All things that will save the firefighters and residents that they're protecting," said Hines. The state of the art training facility will replace the old burn building, which officials say is not up to date and no longer safe to use.

Law Suit Filed: Saxon Mortgage Faces Class Action Over Alleged Illegal Use of HAMP

Home > Lawsuits > Saxon Mortgage Faces Class Action Over Alleged Illegal Use of HAMP Saxon Mortgage Faces Class Action Over Alleged Illegal Use of HAMP April 7 2011 San Francisco, CA: Saxon Mortgage Inc, the mortgage service division of Morgan Stanley, is facing a a potential class action lawsuit alleging that the company uses the Homeowners Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) to attract customers into making "trial" payments on loans it has no intention of ever permanently modifying. Filed in Northern California, the suit, titled Gaudin v. Saxon Mortgage Services Inc, alleges a pattern of misconduct by Saxon of collecting trial payments, delaying the processing of loan modifications, and then denying the application altogether for demonstrably false reasons. According to the suit, Marie Gaudin, lead plaintiff and owner of a San Francisco bridal boutique that suffered hard times as a result of the recession brought on by the sub-prime mortgage crisis, asked Saxon for loan modification on her home. Gaudin was directed to Saxon's "Home Preservation Department" and subsequently asked to provide extensive documentation of her financial condition, which she did. She was assured by Saxon that they were "committed to assisting you in any way we can to complete the [the loan modification]. We want to help!" She received a written agreement from them that appeared to promise a permanent HAMP loan modification after she made three "trial" payments as proof she could handle the loan repayments. The complaint notes that Saxon instead delayed the processing of the HAMP loan modification, while urging Gaudin to continue making trial payments. However, after receiving numerous trial payments and fulfilling the rest of her obligations under the agreement Saxon denied her a permanent HAMP modification. They falsely claimed that Gaudin had failed to make payments or comply with document requests. Saxon's correspondence with Gaudin shows a pattern of inaccurate and irresponsible behavior on the part of a major global bank. The company claimed that she did not make payments, while in the same letter actually acknowledged that she was current on all payments. It also claimed that the U.S. Treasury Department was involved in reviewing HAMP applications. The class action alleges that Saxon's breach of contract, rescission and restitution, deceptive debt collection practices violated California's Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (Rosenthal Act) and fraudulent, unlawful, and unfair business practices under California's Unfair Competition Law (UCL).

The freeway will be shut down between the 605 Freeway and Valley View Street in Westminster, according to a news release from the Orange County Transportation Authority.

Officials said the closure is needed to demolish a bridge that links the southbound 405 to the eastbound 22 Freeway as part of a larger $277-million traffic improvement project.

Orange County Escrow Company Cheater Admits Guilt In Home Loan Ponzi Scheme

Though he initially claimed he was innocent in June, Russell Samuel Biszantz told U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter that he knowingly operated an unlicensed escrow company that diverted bank loans for customers to pay his own company expenses and secretly channeled funds to other borrowers. According to Assistant United States Attorney Greg Staples, Biszantz owned eLender Escrow, Inc. of Lake Forest, failed to obey state disclosure laws, lost his license in 2008, and nonetheless continued to seek deals with unwitting consumers, including an abused couple in Arkansas. The scheme, officially unraveled in federal court in an April filing by the U.S. Department of Justice, cheated at least eight buyers out of their loans, which apparently remain unpaid. At today's hearing, Carter asked Biszantz if he would pay restitution to the victims and the businessman solemnly agreed. How much prison time, if any, Carter will order won't be known until a Dec. 16 sentencing hearing inside Orange County's Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse.
