Rising Foreclosures and Rescue Scams

Foreclosures are on the rise in New Hampshire and along with them...the number of so-called "rescue scams"...where homeowners end up losing their homes, going further into debt or being evicted after getting lost in the red tape of the very companies or individuals who promise to help save their home from foreclosure. The New Hampshire legislature is considering a new bill that would make changes to the current system to hold these rescue companies accountable and to give the consumer more power for legal recourse.
