On March 2, 2009, a mere six weeks right after becoming retained by Mr. Jacobs, ULGs efforts on his behalf resulted in a loan modification provide that lowered his interest price from 8.2% to five.75%, slashed his monthly principal and interest payment from $ 1,511.22 to $ 847.82 and reduce the quantity owed on the note from $ 207,855.35 to $ 156,250.00 a principal reduction of over $ 50,000.

Bankruptcy, Northern District of Texas, on July 31, 2003,” said Buscho. “In the article, writer Paul Elias states that Mr. Jacobs claims to have filed one more bankruptcy petition in June of 2009.
