The National Mortgage Complaint Center Warns 80 Percent Of All US Homeowners Could Be Paying Too Much On Their Property Taxes

Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 5, 2009

The National Mortgage Complaint Center is one of the most quoted sources in the United States on predatory mortgage lending issues, or mortgage issues in general. The group is saying, “we fear over 80% of all US homeowners are paying too much on their property taxes. With the dramatic US residential real estate devaluations we have all seen in the last three years, most US homeowners could be paying 25% to 35%, or more on their property taxes, than they should be.” For more information please contact the National Mortgage Complaint Center at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://NationalMortgageComplaintCenter.Com

According to the National Mortgage Complaint Center,” if a homeowner feels like he/she/they are paying higher property taxes than are realistic in today’s US real estate market, they need to contact their County, or in rare instances their City & County tax assessors office, and get the forms required to appeal their property taxes-at the same time they should check to see what the assessor says the home is worth, or check the tax statement.” The group says, “hint, most of you are paying 25% to 35% more than you should be. In all likelihood you will be required to get an appraisal from an approved, or licensed appraisal firm, & the homeowner may have to appear before a hearing examiner, or county tax assessors board, to get your appeal approved.” But the group says, “we think its worth the effort, because the savings could be in the hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, for an average US homeowner.” For more information please feel free to call the National Mortgage Complaint Center at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://NationalMortgageComplaintCenter.Com

Note: Typically an appraisal from a licensed appraisal firm will cost between $ 350 to $ 450. The price varies in each state, or metro area.

The National Mortgage Complaint Center is also saying, “for the 100,000+ homeowners living in homes with confirmed toxic Chinese drywall in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, or South Carolina, your actual home is probably worth zero. The land may be the only thing of value. You should all appeal your current property tax bills.” For more information contact the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via their web site at Http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

The National Mortgage Complaint Center is saying, “these are really tough times, the government is really great at taking your money, but they rarely say, we overcharged you, here’s a refund. Please don’t get over charged on your property taxes.” The National Mortgage Complaint Center has always been about consumer protection. Http://NationalMortgageComplaintCenter.Com

The National Mortgage Complaint Center is requesting homeowners, real estate agents, financial planners, accountants, and real estate appraisers share this press release with their clients, and associates.

The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center Increases Its Victims Initiative For Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama & Florida Property Owners

Washington, DC (Vocus) June 7, 2010

The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center is all about being an advocate for the mostly voiceless victims of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill-now officially the worst oil spill in US history. So who are the victims? The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center is saying, “every fisherman, or potentially every fishing camp owner in Louisiana is a victim, with oil washing ashore from Grand Isle, Louisiana to Pensicola, Florida-every waterfront property owner is a victim-or potential victim, as are hotel owners, restaurant owners, fishing guides,Oystermen, or anyone else who depends upon a healthy Gulf of Mexico.” The group says,” our major push right now is to get Louisiana fishing camp owners identified, along with waterfront property owners in Mississippi, Alabama & the pan handle of Florida-in the hopes knowing who lost what & when—with respect to property values-or business. We fear its going to be in the billions.” The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center wants to identify Louisiana fishing camp owners, or other US Gulf States property-business owners now-so they can begin the potential loss of value estimations, & calculations.For more information Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama property owners, or business owners can contact the Gulf Oil Spill Help Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://GulfOilSpillHelpCenter.Com

The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center says, “we think it is a national disgrace that it took President Obama & his Administration a month to figure out the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill was your basic biblical disaster. After not saying a word in public about another biblical type homeowner disaster called toxic Chinese drywall-for over a year-also effecting Gulf States property owners-we were not surprised-it was just more Change he promised.” The group says, “the $ 64,000 question is why is BP still running the show? Doesn’t something so bad—that it could literally effect millions of US citizens deserve a real federal response-not a BP is still running the show?” The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center is saying, we really need to hear from fishing camp owners in Louisiana, waterfront property owners in Mississippi, Alabama & Florida & business owners in all US Gulf States effected by this tragedy-now. This is going to linger on for months-we need to know who you are. We have zero faith BP really cares about you, nor do we think President Obama-or his Administration get it.” For more information effected parties can call the Gulf Oil Spill Help Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://GulfOilSpillHelpCenter.Com

There is no charge for this service.” The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center is also saying, “anyone who thinks this is just going away, and things will soon be right back to normal would be short sighted.

The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center has just learned that at this moment, property devaluation losses due to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster are not yet on the table. The group is saying, “so 1000′s of Louisiana fishing camp owners, who have just seen a 50% or more devaluation of their property have no claim? That’s nonsense, and we want to hear from all property owners who have suffered a loss in their property’s value due to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.” For more information please contact the Gulf Oil Spill Help Center at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://GulfOilSpillHelpCenter.Com

The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center is saying, “what if 170,000,000 gallons of crude oil were washing ashore in New York state or California? Would those property owners be told ‘you do not have a claim’ on the loss of your property’s value?” Http://GulfOilSpillHelpCenter.Com

Union Grove, AL (PRWEB) May 17, 2006

“Smith Lake is now seeing tremendous growth”, said Angela Treadway owner and co-developer at Emerald Valley Estates. A gorgeous new premiere Smith Lake lakefront development just released. “You cannot find better priced lakefront property anywhere in the country. You can buy one of our lots and build a lake house and still be under $ 500,000. As a developer I know what is happening on this lake. We are just now on the front end of the boom. Now is the time to invest anywhere on Smith Lake. These prices will not last.” continued Treadway.

Additionally, Grandview Resort is another new lakefront development. Angela Treadway consulted on the initial setup, marketing, layout and design of this project and after the first two weeks building one is sold out! This new resort will be a gated community, with one hundred luxury condo units, outdoor water park, large balconies, private marina and a lakeside terrace. From the moment you drive through the gated entrance you will see the stunning views of the clear emerald green waters. “When coming to Grandview plan to relax, unwind and enjoy nature’s beauty” added Treadway.

It is one of the deepest lakes in America with water depths of over 200 feet and was recently named the 3rd cleanest Lake in America. It covers portions of three Alabama counties: Cullman, Walker, and Winston. Smith Lake is an excellent fishing lake drawing fishermen from all over the southeast. Five World Fishing records have been established on Smith Lake and several champion fishing tournaments are held on the lake each year. One of the biggest drawing points about Smith Lake is its location.

Beasley Allen Files Coal Ash Spill Class Action Lawsuit on Behalf of Residents and Property Owners Affected by Disaster

Home devastated by the Dec., 22 coal ash spill in Kingston, TN

Montgomery, Ala. (PRWEB) January 9, 2009

Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles, P.C., has filed a class action lawsuit (3:09-CV-00009) on behalf of property owners damaged by the Dec. 22, 2008 Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) coal ash spill at the Kingston Fossil Plant. Located 40 miles west of Knoxville, Tenn., the plant released 1.1 billion gallons of toxin-laden sludge into a rural neighborhood when a waste storage pond retaining wall failed. The suit is filed against the TVA, the nation’s largest public utility, over potentially the most significant environmental disaster since the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

The class action complaint was filed today in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Tennessee.

Beasley Allen will be working with attorneys Gary Davis and Mary Parker in Tennessee, both of whom have Environmental experience. Beasley Allen has its own Environmental department to handle cases such as this disaster. The firm has handled previous environmental claims including a $ 700 million settlement with Monsanto/Solutia in Anniston (CV-2001-832), Ala., over PCB contamination, the largest environmental settlement in American history. More recently, Beasley Allen obtained a $ 20.7 million verdict (US 07-257) against manufacturers of carbon black )for nearby property owners, a verdict that was upheld by the United States Supreme Court.

Coal-fired power plants produce coal ash and other toxic waste byproducts. The material is usually stored on site in retention ponds or dams. A failure in the retaining wall, or an overflow, can result in an environmental disaster contaminating surrounding waterways, soil, and wildlife, and endangering human health and life.

There is ongoing debate about how coal ash is stored and regulated. Currently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not regulate these types of retention ponds or the materials contained in them. Surprisingly, the EPA does not consider the coal ash hazardous material. There is a great deal of debate over whether state regulations are sufficient to regulate these retention ponds, as evidenced by this most recent disaster.

“It is absolutely incredible that there is no real oversight for the storage and safe disposal of this toxic waste,” said Beasley Allen attorney Rhon Jones, who specializes in Environmental issues. “Most of these retention ponds are not lined or reinforced, and it’s inevitable that potentially hazardous material will leak out. They just are not a long-term solution. It’s only a matter of time before the next disaster. These facilities are everywhere – Alabama, Tennessee. Communities are living under a cloud, uncertain of their safety.”

There is a U.S. Senate hearing set for Jan. 8 to review the Tennessee disaster that will include representatives from the TVA and environmental groups. Beasley Allen attorneys have contacted Congressional leaders offering to speak at the hearings, and lawyers from the Beasley Allen team will be present in Washington.
