Mergers And Layoffs Are Hand In Hand

October 17, 2013

We are receiving unconfirmed reports that Asset Management Services (AMSREO), recently purchased by the Concentric Equity Group, laid off almost their entire Vendor Management Department. This, on the heels of an update to their Vorticity System which is considered un user friendly at best. Many will remember that we documented the Website was half baked and open to even the most novice of hacking attempts.

We are going to follow up on this tomorrow and keep everyone posted. AMSREO is a Member of the National Association of Mortgage Field Services and has, to date, remained largely off our radar. Perhaps, if this pans out, we are seeing what is up and coming for Field Asset Services. We are going to follow up with the PA Department of Labor to verify that they filed WARN Act Notifications.

I predicted issues like these across the board. If Contractors think it is a good sign I have some Work Orders to farm to you that pay in 2019!

Before You Go ...

Foreclosurepedia exists because readers, workers, and advocates understand that protecting Labor in the mortgage field services industry requires independence, persistence, and resources. We do not answer to servicers, hedge funds, or corporate trade groups; our accountability is to the Field Service Technicians, Inspectors and administrative personnel whose livelihoods are too often treated as expendable. Donations are what allow us to investigate quietly buried contract changes, expose abusive labor practices, and publish work that would otherwise never see the light of day. Every contribution helps keep our reporting free from industry pressure and focused squarely on defending labor standards, fair pay, and basic dignity in the foreclosure ecosystem. If you believe this work matters, your support is not symbolic—it is the reason Foreclosurepedia can continue to stand between Labor and a system that routinely exploits it.
