FCTC Announces Move to WXYT 1170 Talk Radio – Starting 10/15 – Airing Saturday Mornings 10 – 11 AM

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Financial Crisis Talk Center Radio Show

Moves to WXYT-AM 1270 Beginning October 15th

 

Bingham Farms, MICH, September xx, 2011The Financial Crisis Talk Center (FCTC), a weekly radio talk show hosted by Ken Gross, David Einstandig and the financial crisis management team of attorneys at THAV GROSS PC, has found a new radio home and will begin airing on WXYT-AM 1270 from 10-11AM beginning Saturday, October 15th.

FCTC which launched in 2008 on WDFN 1130, “The Fan,” was created by Gross at the inception of the Financial Crisis for consumers and businesses that are searching for help and need answers regarding their vital financial concerns.  Listeners of the show hear in-depth interviews with state newsmakers, critical and up to date information on issues relating to the economy, housing crisis, tax and debt relief opportunities.

“We are excited to be moving down the dial and joining the talented WXYT-AM 1270 team,” said Gross. “WXYT 1270’s Talk Radio format is an ideal home for us – we created the Financial Crisis Talk Center radio show because we know how significant and confusing these issues are for people who are frustrated with the longevity of the crisis and looking for solutions and opportunities to improve their situation in the face of lost equity in their homes and the increasing federal deficit. We will continue to bring the same formula to our new show that has made it a success these past three years.”

Since the show’s inception, Gross and Einstandig have interviewed some of the State’s leading politicians, including: Thaddeus McCotter, Gary Peters, Phil Cavanagh, Verg Bernero, David Leyton, Mark Brewer and others.

Leveraging their 30 years of experience in resolving business and personal financial and tax problems, the THAV GROSS firm specializes in meeting the needs of business and individual clients by providing Financial Crisis Management. For businesses, this means crafting a strategy to address delinquent taxes and the problems imposed by banks that are refusing to continue to extend credit to the business. For individuals, the firm designs strategies that include exit strategies from homes underwater, debt resolution, bankruptcy and tax relief. Gross’s mantra for the financial crisis is “We must preserve future income for ourselves and family – rather than allow it to be wasted on payment debts of the past. By now it is clear, absent our own positive actions, we will pay twice for the misdeeds of our government oversight – in the form of lost property values and added tax burdens to resolve the deficit.”

The FCTC radio team also conducts FREE seminars about these topics. The next seminar, entitled, “Learn Your Options in Addressing Financial Crisis Issues,” is taking place at the FCTC offices, located at 30150 Telegraph Rd, Suite 360, Bingham Farms, 48025 on Wednesday, October 26th from 7:00-8:30PM. Registration is required by phone 888.345.4357 or online at www.financialcrisistalkcenter.com or www.thavgross.com.

Kenneth L. Gross – Leaders in the Law 2011

Thav, Gross, Steinway & Bennett, P.C., Bingham Farms
Education: Wayne State University Law School, 1982
Specialty: Financial crisis management, business law, estate planning

Kenneth L. Gross, co-founding shareholder of Thav, Gross, Steinway & Bennett, P.C., puts a lot of people back on their feet after they’ve had the financial rug pulled from underneath them.

In the process, he’s evolved the law practice that he and Charles Thav founded 29 years ago, the day after Gross graduated from law school.

For many years, he said, Thav Gross “was a normal business practice.” The bulk of the work was mergers, new companies, contracts and commercial disputes.

Then, in 2008, the national economy melted down, unemployment shot up, and the real estate market crashed.

“A lot of people connected to the real estate market were put out of work,” Gross said.

In response, he led the firm to a new type of practice: financial crisis management.

“We had a tax collection defense and bankruptcy practice, so we rechanneled the focus and expanded it from a standpoint of what’s going on the economy,” he explained.

“The real estate developers, the mortgage brokers, the trade workers, the suppliers — all those people have suffered horrendous losses as a result of the housing crisis. They’re fighting for survival. They’re trying to save their homes. They’re trying to figure out how to put food on the table.”

This troubled Gross. He also was frustrated by “the arrogance and the lack of practically the banking industry has displayed with regard to the mortgage crisis.”

When homeowners are underwater with their mortgage and their income drops, “it would make more sense to renegotiate the principal and let the people stay in there,” he said.

“But the lending market and the banking industry absolutely refuses to recognize any concept of principal reduction.”

So Gross views his advocacy as if “it’s almost a war, an ‘us versus them’ mentality in terms of the banking industry.”

But, he added, “what’s incredibly interesting is all of the possible ways to improve a bad situation that we’ve learned by doing.”

Gross’ approach is to assess a client’s particular circumstances and determine which creative combination of the available tools — bankruptcy, debt settlement, loan modification, short sale tax relief — will work best to resolve the client’s problems.

This approach has worked well for his clients in many instances.

Gross’ business strategy has worked well for his firm.

Due to the slow economy, fewer clients seek “pure” business services and many more clients seek help with their personal financial circumstances.

Gross is invigorated by the shift in focus, saying, “I used sit there sometimes and say, ‘Is there any good that I do as a lawyer?’

“When I’m engaged from a pure business standpoint, I’m doing good for my client. But when you start moving into this financial crisis area, where you’re trying to help and solve people’s problems on a long-term basis, it is more inspiring and in some respects it’s more fun.

“I think I’m more charged-up about practicing law now than I’ve ever been,” he said.

Though he admitted feeling guilty at times about being too impatient to bring about the result he’s after, “I’ve learned over the course of time that you need some level of impatience to stay on track.”

Fund to Help Hardest Hit Homeowners

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – The state says help is on the way for Michigan’s hardest hit homeowners. $154-million in federal aid will save thousands of families from foreclosure. But there’s not enough money for everyone, and you have to act fast to apply.

You don’t have to look far to find a foreclosed home. They are in just about every neighborhood, but the state says about 17,000 Michigan homeowners will get help to prevent a padlock on the door. We’re one of five states getting an Obama administration Hardest Hit Fund.

The first big question is who qualifies?

“If you’re unemployed it will help to pay your mortgage payments while you are looking for a job. If you are somebody who has had a medical emergency, we want to be able to allow for us to cash you up on your mortgage so that you’re not put out,” said Governor Jennifer Granholm.

We caught up with Granholm at a Habitat for Humanity building project.

“There is help being offered. You got to take a positive step, and you’ve got to look to do something,” said Ken Gross, a financial crisis attorney in Bingham Farms.

He says there’s a big catch to all of this. Mortgage companies have to agree to sign up for the program. That will start to happen on Monday, July 12, but not all mortgage companies will participate. The state says people should keep checking their website at www.michigan.gov/hardesthit. You can also call 866-946-7432 for more information.

While the plan sounds good on paper, Gross is skeptical about how many people will receive help and how long it will take to get approved.

“My big question is are they going to be effective in the ability to process these applications and get people the help they need,” Gross said.

He says other recent government programs to help homeowners have resulted in an endless trail of paperwork and only a small fraction of people actually getting help.

Specific details on how to apply for the Hardest Hit Fund are still being finalized.
