I am going through a tough time with a company that was to assist me in getting a loan modification. In May I started the process by signing a contract, in Pasadena, CA, the company that I did business with is located in Irvine,CA. I shortly thereafter received phone calls and emails stating that in order to proceed with the loan modification I had to send them a payment of $1200. I paid them and then I did not hear from any of them anymore. I later find out that, this person had been doing this to other people also, and I now feel scammed. I was calling this guy, everyday, to get my money and he now says that he does not work there anymore, and recommends that I contact the person who had forwarded my file to, but I never signed any contracts with them, in addition that person does not work for that business either. So my question is: where do I sue, Pasadena court or in Irvine court? I signed a contract in Pasadena but the contract was broken since they did nothing in Irvine for me?
