UFS MISLED ME, AND MY FAMILY

Ted Morris from Universal Field Services (UFS) said I would receive $28,000 in installments over three and one-half years after the state forced me to move to make room for the new middle school. I had lived at 507 Jersey Ave.

I have lived here in Gloucester City all my life. I moved to another home. My landlord and Mr. Morris discussed my lease and agreements. I moved December 10, 2004.

The state sent me a check for $7,800 that I gave to my landlord for rental assistance. The next year, on December 10, I called Ted Morris and I was told that he no longer works there and Elaine Hathaway took over my case.

I asked her for my check and she said she did deposit the check into my landlord's checking account. On December 10, 2006, I called about my money and they discharged Elaine. Leslie Pachanco took over my case.

My landlord called and said he never received money from UFS this year. I called and called and all I have gotten is the run around. Now my landlord has filed for eviction. I have to go to court on April 26. I need help, my children go to school here, and I cannot afford to lose my home.

The state still owes me $7,800 for this year and $4,600 for the next year.
