Agreed, if the wording is saying something along the lines of YOU ARE AT RISK OF LOSING YOUR HOME" etc, then yes it's a scam however, once more it depends entirely upon the wording of the letter, these idiots hire laywers to make sure they can get away with it and stay just within a hairline of the laws on false or misrepresentation. |

I would agree that the letter is slightly legal, due to the fine print, but its still worthy of posting in this Scam forum because it is deceptive and worthless.
It would be helpful to post the current names of the companies that send the letters. I regret shredding mine. |

1 edit | Slightly legal? An act is either legal or it is not. Black and white. However, your advice is well taken.
Strictly from my personal perspective I consider the OP described situation more the act of a shyster than a scammer, because as you alluded to legality is an issue. To me a scam means to me a willful illegal dishonest act. |

The letter is legal, they are offeringa service to provide you with documents.
The point of this is that YES if you KNOW your stuff you can get these documents for very little to no money at the courthouse/city hall etc. I believe most charge the nominal 5$ fee or something, point being, YES you can get this stuff yourself.
They use scare tactics that have almost no chance at occurring to get you to buy it, that to me is not right, it's not illegal unfortunately. |
