Complaint:
I started a process of refinancing an existing load with the company that has my mortgage, mainly because they promised a lower interest rate, after a lot of paperwork, they sent to do an appraisal ( twice ), they ask for more paperwork on pages that were no send in the first lot of paper work due to scanner malfunction, I resent all the pages of this paperwork, after a week seeing that nothing had happened, i sent an email asking for an update and was told that the loan has died due to lack of response on my part. 
First will like to point out that even if I did not sent the paper, a simple call telling me that they have not received this will be courteousSecond after all the time and effort that went into this and the amount of hour of work i had to miss to be at the appraisal, I deserve an answer as to why they kill the loan application unilaterally.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX gave me a CareCredit brochure with a promotion to help pay for some XXXX. I was not told at the time what would happen at the end of the promotion period. Applied and got the Credit Card. Paid for some of the XXXX with the card. made the Payments and when I got close to the end of the promotion I though the balance had been transferred to another credit card account with a 4 % interest rate. Yet no transfer happened. My payments were still being made though and at no time did I fail to make payments. Autodrafted! In XXXX I got a notice that my card had been charged over {$4000.00} for past interest! I had no idea that would happen. I assumed like regular credit cards it would go to a high interest rate on the remainder of the balance. NOT be charged for the promotional period. I called the Dr. office to find out why they promoted this company! I told them what had happened and they claim to have no idea that this practice of charging the accumulated interest was possible. They, like me, thought the remaining balance would be charged the ultra high interest rate 26.999 %. NOT retroactive. I paid the balance of what I owed for the original amount. And I have paid {$720.00} as well. I called and wanted to find out what I could do about that charge. They just said sorry. This is unacceptable. I pay my bills but this is robbery,.

Complaint:
I had a valid short sale offer in and Nationstar backed-doored my file and 'sold ' my home on XXXX, though I highly doubt that they fulfilled all of the XXXX County MLS requirements in order to do so ; the home went back to Nationstar . They stalled my short sale file out to 'sell ' the property on their own terms. 
The BPO came in at XXXX. My offer was for XXXX, with XXXX down. 
XXXX XXXX ( me, the owner ) has had several XXXX attributed to the entire foreclosure/short sale process. XXXX XXXX ( my wife and co-owner ) has XXXX. The entire process has been very traumatic to both of us and now I have been foreclosed on. 
I had a valid offer in the XXXX system and have been working on this file for close to a year with my agent, XXXX XXXX, who has been a God send to both of us throughout this very trying process. Nationstar initially tried to sell our home on their auction site ( XXXX ), but he was able to stop them once he listed all of the MLS requirements in order to do so ( see attached ). 

I am also attaching the following : Purchase contractListing agreementHardship letterAll correspondence in the XXXX system ( my agent salvaged what he could as the hard files were deleted today ) XXXX sale informationXXXX County MLS requirements to auction a homeHere is what we are ; we are talking about an older married couple in poor health that now has a foreclosure on their credit reports, and for what? The BPO ( appraisal Nationstar did ) came in at XXXX. Nationstar has the 'bid ' starting at over {$1000000.00}, though no bids were received and now it is a bank-owned REO. 

If the short sale is not put back into active review I will be suing Nationstar for the unlawful foreclosure, pain and suffering, and to release the home from REO to complete the short sale process, as well as contacting my Congressman and the media. 

My wife and I did everything asked of us and you gave us no notice of the foreclosure sale date, nor should you have foreclosed, as their was an active short sale file under review at Nationstar in the XXXX system. You stalled the file out over and over again so that you could own our home and sell it on your auction website. The home is worth far less than you think it is and your actions are nothing short of criminal. 

You should be ashamed of yourselves.
