SouthStar Funding, LLC Files Chapter 7 Petition in Northern District of Georgia

SouthStar Funding, LLC, the Subprime Lender based in Sandy Springs, has filed a Chapter 7 petition in Atlanta. Case No. 07-65842 (filed March 11, 2007).  The company announced it was closing its doors last week.  The petition lists assets and debts of over $100 million.   According to news reports, the company did over $6 Billion in loans last year.

From the Atlanta Business Chronicle -

The Sandy Springs, Ga.-based subprime lender had more than 600 employees in 30 states, with 2006 mortgage production exceeding $6 billion, according to the company's Web site.  The firm closed its other offices in Orlando, Fla., and Denver first, and followed with the shuttering of the Atlanta headquarters on Monday.

"When I came in Friday morning, I had no anticipation of shutting down," said Mike Fierman, Southstar executive vice president. "We just took the whole company to the beach last month on a trip."

The closing also came as a surprise to some local mortgage lenders.
 

 

 In 2005, the company was named in the Inc. Magazine Top 500 companies.

Please help, my home was forclosed on by southstar in 2006 and the foreclosure paperwork and notice in the paperwork mysteriously does not exist. Also, somehow the paperwork was done up to look like I sold my home directly - not the foreclosure company. Please help

Hi everyone. I just got a letter in the mail from Southstar LLC. wanting to negotiate the terms of my loan. Saying they can offer me a NEW 30yr fixed loan and it's not a refinance. So I looked up the company and see you all need to contact them. Well, here you are...
