Consumer Defense Law Group Secures Another Surplus Trustee Sale Reversal for LA Homeowner After Third Party Sale
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, July 18, 2025 / / -- In a significant victory for consumer rights, LA homeowner Cameron Culton has successfully regained ownership of his foreclosed property through a trustee sale reversal, an outcome he initially thought impossible. Fortunately, the Consumer Defense Law Group (CDLG) believed that getting Culton's home back was a realistic outcome. Cameron Culton lost his family's home to foreclosure in February 2025. His family purchased the home in 2003 for $254,000, but due to financial hardships, he fell behind on his mortgage. Despite the house being worth over $680,000, he couldn't afford payments. The house entered foreclosure, with a Notice of Default recorded on November 20, 2023, followed by a Notice of Trustee Sale in January 2025. On February 20, 2025, Culton's home was auctioned off, starting at $176,682 and selling to the highest bidder for $440,000. This resulted in $263,318 in surplus funds; the amount remaining after the sale price exceeded the total owed. While many post-trustee sale companies focus only on helping homeowners retrieve these surplus funds for a percentage, Culton's priority was not the money, but saving his home. Immediately following the sale, he contacted the Nonprofit Alliance of Consumer Advocates, a Loss Mitigation Nonprofit Organization focused on Homeownership Preservation and Affordable Housing. The Nonprofit quicky identified the clients need to be referred to Consumer Defense Law Group (CDLG), a highly skilled Wrongful Foreclosure Litigation Law Firm, to explore his legal options. Once CDLG was retained they presented a multi-pronged strategy that included possibly suing for wrongful foreclosure, protecting against untimely eviction, maximizing surplus funds by challenging questionable liens and claims, and conserving funds for a potential down payment to repurchase his foreclosed home or a similar property. CDLG's primary goal is always to keep homeowners housed. On March 3, 2025, CDLG issued a formal demand letter outlining alleged procedural irregularities in the foreclosure process. Subsequently, in April 2025, a civil lawsuit (Case # 25STCY09693) was filed in LA Superior Court, seeking reversal of the trustee sale or recovery of damages. Ultimately, through significant effort and negotiations, the sale was reversed, and the home was returned to the homeowner. This case highlights the critical significance of proper legal assistance in reversing a Trustee sale, demonstrating that homeowners can successfully fight back against foreclosure actions and regain their properties, even when most other companies only offer surplus retrieval services. Consumer Defense Law Group continues to support those facing similar issues, fighting for justice in potential wrongful foreclosure cases nationwide. J.

New Research From The Nonprofit Alliance Shows Strong Public Support for Nonprofits as Sector Faces Federal Funding Threats
As the nonprofit sector confronts the White House's latest sweeping threat to federal funding, new research from The Nonprofit Alliance reveals strong public support for nonprofit organizations and their essential role in American society. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: A February 7 executive action directs federal agencies to review all funding provided to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), claiming 'many … are engaged in actions that actively undermine the security, prosperity, and safety of the American people.' This comes despite three temporary restraining orders from federal courts mandating the reversal of recent funding freezes. 'Labeling NGOs as undermining national interests while tying funding decisions to undefined and shifting political priorities jeopardizes essential services and vulnerable communities that rely on them,' said Shannon McCracken, chief executive officer of The Nonprofit Alliance. 'Our research clearly shows that Americans across the political spectrum recognize the vital role nonprofits play in our society and support federal funding for these critical services.' The research, titled 'Protecting Vital Service: Mobilizing Support for Nonprofit Federal Funding,' is based on a November 2024 survey of 2,500 U.S. adults. While some political differences exist, there is a strong endorsement for continued federal funding when nonprofits are seen as a vital force in addressing issues such as healthcare, education, and emergency relief. Republicans (83%) and Democrats (88%) agree that nonprofits are essential to the nation's well-being. Fifty-eight percent of Americans believe that the federal government should provide ongoing funding for charitable organizations to cover their core operational and administrative expenses. Broken out by self-identified party affiliation, 'yes' was the response from 68.5% of Democrats, 51.7% of Republicans, 67.6% of Green party members, and 56.8% of Libertarians. Individuals who believe that crises such as climate disasters or economic downturns intensify the need for nonprofit services are roughly three times more likely to favor government support. 'The nonprofit sector has long been a trusted partner in advancing American values, supporting security, and fostering global stability,' said McCracken. 'We urge the administration to focus on strengthening the vital partnerships between government and NGOs that serve the best interests of the nation and the world.' The Nonprofit Alliance is an association that promotes, protects, and strengthens the nonprofit sector. Members include nonprofit organizations in the United States representing a diverse landscape of causes, and industry experts who help nonprofits in their public outreach, fundraising and resource development.
