Complaint:
XX/XX/2007, we were duped by B of A on the terms of a XXXX mortgage, which they " converted '' to a HELOC, effectively raising our mortgage rate by XXXX 20 %. At this point, XXXX effectually made our loan a " credit '', or " unsecured debt ''. The payment amount was unaffordable. We tried to obtain assistance, even enlisting our local Housing Assistance office. XXXX process, including threats of foreclosure and harassing us and our children at our residence, forced us into declaring a Ch. XXXX BK. Our court-approved repayment plan lists this B of A debt as unsecured debt, and it was discharged at the time of our successful completion of the repayment plan to the trustee. Despite this, XXXX sold the discharged debt to a " debt collection '' mortgage company, who sold it to another, who sold it to another, who sold it to yet another. We contacted our XXXX attorney via email ( prior to our discharge, when he was still bound by contract to act to protect us ), and he contacted the then-creditor who was harassing us. He informed us that they had stated that they had coded our discharge incorrectly and that they would rectify their error, so that our credit would not continue to be negatively affected. This did not happen, but by then our case was finished, and the BK lawyer stated that he would charge us his hourly fee, which we could not afford, to work for the correction he failed to ensure while we were retaining him. Since then, each ensuing company sent us monthly statements that were harassing in nature. Nationstar is the longest-standing, most intransigent of those who are causing us three years of ongoing financial and personal damages ( denial of credit, higher interest rates, and severely limited housing options, to name a few civil damages ). On top of this, we faced a XXXX in the midst of this situation. Notwithstanding, we paid off our Ch. XXXX plan and received our Federal Discharge of Bankruptcy. We have personally spoken to Nationstar 's representatives on no less than fifteen occasions, each of which has cost us upwards of three hours of time. We have been given a new name of the " Dedicated Loan Specialist '' to contact on EVERY statement we have received, but none has EVER remedied the error. We have WRITTEN, FAXED, and CALLED. We have been TRANSFERRED, REFERRED, and ADVISED on how to remedy our situation by providing our court documents, statements, and contact information. We can think of nothing left to do but the possibility of filing charges against our own lawyer AND Nationstar. We hope that this is not our only option. We have simply requested, and now would demand, that Nationstar relinquish its unfounded claim, and if necessary, instigate further actions against the seller of this unsecured, bankruptcy-discharged debt, and cease and desist its unethical harassment of us.
