Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage
Sub-issue: Applying for or obtaining a modification, forbearance plan, short sale, or deed-in-lieu

Complaint:
Email sent to XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX on XXXX : I spoke to XXXX XXXX ( Shellpoint, a division of Newrez ) three times ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) regarding my loan modification that was supposed to carryover from XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX XXXX told me maybe they're still working on it, but never checked, just guessed. 

Since my loan modification from XXXX XXXX that was supposed to carryover to Newrez, as promised, wasn't happening and I wasn't getting any definitive answers to my questions, I decided to apply again. I haven't received any information or request for information about this, but looking at my account today I see that many documents are being asked of me. All of this information/documents should have already been given to you from XXXX XXXX. I shouldn't have to begin the process again when I already completed the XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX and was approved for a loan modification. Newrez is supposed to legally honor the loan modification that was approved by XXXX XXXX before being transferred to Newrez. 

I received a letter from XXXX XXXX, Newrez Compliance Department, dated XX/XX/2023 which states, " Newrez was able to locate the Loan Modification Agreement signed by you on XX/XX/2023. Nonetheless, the copy of the document provided by the servicer does not reflect it was executed before the transfer. Hence, our Loss Mitigation Department has reached out to XXXX XXXX to obtain the original copies and be able to proceed with the implementation of the loan modification. In the event additional information is needed, one of our Loss Mitigation Specialist will reach out to you. '' No one has reached out to me. 

Therefore, I'm thinking I should file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the State of Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services. I don't understand why I'm getting the runaround. I was told that Newrez would honor my loan modification that I completed with XXXX XXXX before being transferred to Newrez. This all feels like a game and manipulation to me. It's a terrible shame that big mortgage companies treat their customers in such a manner. 

I would like to reiterate the reason I initiated a loan modification with XXXX XXXX. In XXXX of this year XXXX, I was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX... ( *I provided details in my original letter ). 

I would appreciate it if you would give me definitive answers as to why my loan modification hasn't been honored and when will it be implemented? I've never been late or behind with a mortgage payment in over 30 years and I would like to keep it that way and a loan modification would help me tremendously.
