Consumer complaint received 2018-03-24
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other type of mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
We are homeowners who were paying our mortgage religiously every month for over 12 years {$1200.00} a month. Then, Nationstar Mortgage ( NSM ) bought our loan and increased the payment to {$1900.00} a month. The increase amount was not in our budget so we called the company for a loan modification. This is when our American dream turned to a nightmare. 
We are filing a complaint based on illegal representation of loan modification procedures and omissions of NSM, now Mr. Cooper. 
Our family has not been awarded / granted a loan modification although we have tried. NSM took too long to finalize our file and now we are facing foreclosure. 
We would have made our payment only if we have received the approval letter and confirmation of future payments. We never received the final notice, we found out when we did not hear from them, and we decided to call them. When we made our inquiry with NSM, as to why we were not informed, we were told that we had to start the process all over again. This negligence has led to further disarray and miscommunication between the loan documentation department. We were then instructed to wait for approval one more time and to complete another application. 
RIGHT NOW, WE NEED TO SAVE OUR HOME on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, we have a hearing for FORECLOSURE. 
I beg you to help with canceling foreclosure and finalize the modification. I got in touch with an HUD agency to help us with counseling and a solution on our own. I want a review of our loan modification ; please help our family save our home. 
Important dates : XX/XX/XXXX- Mortgage payment increased to {$2000.00} we called to do a modification and after hours spent on the phone and many papers faxed and sent by mail ; we never got the letter for approval. we called and XXXX XXXX from NSM told us that we had to start all over again because we did not responded to the approval that by the way we never received. 
XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX Second modification was done but we were told by our broker, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and Attorney XXXX XXXX not to pay because we were not guarantee the future monthly payment and that NSM could keep that money and not decline the loan modification. We were scammed by XXXX XXXX and Attorney XXXX XXXX,. as you can see in the court papers, they never responded to the court. They made us signed the deed of the house, rented our house and kept the money for more than six months. 
After that we hired Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX to defend us and XXXX to deal with the application for modification. XXXX did not include my income and the modification was denied for lack of income. He said that because my name was not in the loan ; it was okay not to add my income and only use my husband 's income. 
We are now facing a day in court and we do not know what to do. 
We contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and have an appointment for counseling next week. ( see attachment information ) We attached the court case for dates and information
