Feldman Law Center – Congress Modifies HOPE for Homeowners; CA Senate passes SB 94
Feldman Law Center – Congress Modifies HOPE for Homeowners; CA Senate passes SB 94
Feldman Law Center – News by Feldman Law Center — The U.S. Senate, as well as the California State Senate, are both at work to help homeowners avoid bankruptcy and foreclosure. The U.S. Senate and the California State Senate are also both at work to make lenders happy, balance budgets, and do any number of things that may or may not serve your best interests as a homeowner.
What do you need to know? Why should you care?
The Federal bill HOPE for Homeowners was passed in the summer of 2008 to help prevent foreclosures on the more than 400,000 homes that were facing it. In the first seven months that the law was enacted, the law helped exactly one family stay in their home. That’s right, one. Recently (May, 2009), Congress passed a bill that augments the original HOPE for Homeowners legislation to make it more effective.
In April 2009, in California, State Bill 94 cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee and awaits approval by the Senate Appropriations Committee. State Bill 94 was proposed by Senator Calderon (D-Montebello) and was designed to crackdown on some of the dishonest, disreputable, and predatory firms that are popping up hoping to profit from the misfortune of others. The main focus of the bill is to prevent loan modification firms from requiring payment up front for their services.
While it is possible to negotiate with the lender yourself or to hire a non-profit agencies, when it comes to staying in your home you should look for the most effective and efficient means possible. Hiring a loan modification attorney to help negotiate new terms on your loan can mean the difference between avoiding bankruptcy, foreclosure and a short sale and…not avoiding them. The important thing is that you are able to get out of your financial mess and stay in your home.
Truth is, thousands of loan modifications are successfully negotiated by private sector firms in California and throughout the country. This is important to remember when considering your options. It would be foolish to trust someone who promises something they can’t deliver. It would also be foolish to ignore help from someone who is willing and able to assist. If you are drowning, and someone that has been standing on the bank pulling people out offers you a hand, shouldn’t you take it?
We will continue to hear grumbling about the economy, and what “got us into this mess.” We will continue to hear proposed legislation to regulate, modify and change rules and regulations in the various industries directly linked to this financial crisis. And we will continue to hear pleas from senators, congressmen, banks, loan modification “experts,” and any number of people whose direct interests are involved.
Think about what is best for you. Are you prepared to negotiate a loan modification directly with your lender? The Feldman Law Center is trustworthy, reputable, and ready to help you stay in your home. We specialize in loan modifications and have attorneys on staff who know the business.

Government-organized BPO exhibition in Philippines February 12-13
The Philippines’ premiere BPO (contact centers, software development, medical transcription, animation, engineering & design) exhibition expects a record number of exhibitors and international trade visitors.
Manila, Philippines — January 29, 2004 –Over 90 local and international exhibitors have reserved exhibition space in the fourth annual e-Services Philippines exhibit organized by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM).
CITEM executives expect to more than double this number before the exposition takes place February 12-13 at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Manila.
Companies and organizations from e-Services sectors – including medical transcription, contact center, software development, BPO and animation services – are coming in force this year to showcase their expertise and support one of the governments principal initiatives for promoting the Philippines as a premiere IT outsourcing hub,” said CITEM IT services director Josephine Briones-Gonzalez.
The strong showing is driven by the important business advantages provided by the exhibit to exhibitors. e-Services is an extremely cost-effective opportunity for companies to communicate first-hand with potential clients in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Each year, the exposition draws over 10,000 local and international trade visitors,” she said. Thats a very large number of prospects to see over the course of just two days. And these people are here because they have an interest in outsourcing to the Philippines, so they are pre-qualified.”
Last year, e-Services generated over 4,000 trade contacts for participants and an estimated P41 million worth of business contracts for exhibitors during the exposition. The value of contracts signed subsequently isnt available, but the large annual turnout suggests it is substantial.
This years exposition will highlight the growth of e-Services hubs in key cities such as Cebu, Davao, and Dumaguete and Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon provinces. Almost 20 software companies and IT-real estate developers from these areas are confirmed.
Thanks to the concerted effort of the government and local business sectors, these places are fast emerging as prime BPO sites. By developing local IT labor pools and infrastructure, as well as providing benefits and incentives to foreign investors and customers, these hubs are creating tens of thousands of job opportunities for Filipinos and making a substantial contribution to economic growth,” Ms. Briones-Gonzalez added.
Local software and hardware developers will exhibit their products and services alongside multinational and local industry technology giants such HP, Globe, GlobeQuest, MozCom, and SPI Technologies, according to Ms. Briones-Gonzalez. Industry associations participating in e-Services include the Contact Center Association of the Philippines, the Animation Council of the Philippines, and the Medical Transcription Association of the Philippines.
Respected international speakers have also been invited to speak at a concurrent conference on global BPO trends, IT hub development, the global animation industry, and offshore medical transcription according to Ms. Briones-Gonzalez. They include Gartner Research vice president Rebecca Scholl, EDS senior director Trey Traviesa, medical transcription industry analyst Terry Peteete, and animation experts Hans Bacher and Yasuhiro Imagawa.
These speakers will provide exposition visitors, exhibitors and conference participants a credible, global perspective of their industries, and the Philippine emerging role as an IT-enabled services hub,” Ms. Briones-Gonzalez explained.
Also concurrent to the exposition CITEM will conduct its annual e-Services awards program – open to all local exhibitors – to recognize 2003s most innovative solutions, applications, and service offerings. It will also feature this years winner for the much anticipated Animazing Shorts, a film competition involving students and amateur animators.
Winners will be chosen based on their distinctly Filipino brand of innovation, market potential, and presentation,” said Madulid.
Companies and individuals interested in attending e-Services Philippines 2004 may contact CITEMs IT Services and Electronics Division at 63 2 832 5044 or 63 2 831 2201 to 09 locals 212, 251 and 301, by fax at 63 2 832 3965 or 63 2 834 0177, or by e-mail at itservices@citem.com.ph.

Western Canada’s largest school board, the Calgary Board of Education, launched Telax Hosted Call Center this week to support growing demands on its IT Department Helpdesk. The 24-month contract was secured by Telax following a successful bid in response to an RFP.
Calgary, Alberta — October 27, 2009 — Western Canada’s largest school board, the Calgary Board of Education (“CBE”), launched Telax Hosted Call Center this week to support the growing service demands on its IT Department Helpdesk. “We’re very excited about having CBE as a customer,” said Telax founder and CEO, Mario Perez. “Our solution brings a lot of value to non-traditional call center spaces like this one.”
The 24-month contract was secured by Telax following a successful bid in response to a Calgary Board of Education RFP, which closed on March 12, 2009. The RFP stressed the importance of scalability, reliability, location portability and features.
The CBE, which boasts an annual budget of C0 million, precluded hardware-based solution providers from responding to the RFP, indicating that it was seeking “a hosted solution” and that all solution-specific equipment should be “owned, hosted and maintained by the service provider.”
The contract for the cloud-based call center solution provided by Telax runs for 24-months with multiple subsequent option years. Telax secured a similar contract earlier this year with the Dallas Independent School District, the 12th largest school district in the United States.
