Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX my property in XXXX XXXX had some hurricane damage, and my mortgage company, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), offered me forbearance for 3 payments that would be added on to the end of my mortgage. I accepted forbearance, and in XXXX, just as the forbearance period ended, XXXX transferred my mortgage to XXXX XXXX XXXX. The XXXX   agreement stated that XXXX  would accept and complete the forbearance agreement made by XXXX. XXXX  harassed me and finally added a modification onto my loan, but instead of a forbearance modification, they processed it as a foreclosure modification, which showed up on my credit report as my being delinquent with mortgage payments. They pressured me, giving me one day to sign which allowed no time for legal review, threatening foreclosure if I did not sign. I disputed it with the credit bureaus later who did nothing to correct it, and it ruined has my credit score. XXXX refused to correct their mistake and I have been turned down for refinancing my mortgage because of the mistake XXXX   made and the delinquency on my credit report. Changing the forbearance modification to a foreclosure modification is an unfair bait and switch practice, and has cost me my credit. At the time I didn't know the difference in the modifications, but now I understand what has happened and I am requesting that the delinquency be removed from my credit report and my mortgage be corrected due to this unfair practice. This has damaged my financial reputation and cost me money. I tried to refinance with XXXX  again and they just told me yesterday XXXX they can not proceed until this mistake is corrected. I have paid almost {$1000.00} in fees for appraisals and application and my loan is denied now because of XXXX XXXX mistake. As a senior citizen I feel this is unfair, and I deserve punitive damages from XXXX now that I have figured out what they actually did is illegal. I was entitled to federal forbearance from a natural disaster and they defrauded me to accept a foreclosure. I can not even refinance my house and get away from XXXX because of the mistake they refuse to correct on my credit report. XXXX agreed to take the loan from XXXX " as is '', then switched it to a foreclosure. They refused to correct the balance or give me credit for all payments made in XXXX. There have been no delinquent payments, and I have submitted receipts to XXXX  and the credit bureaus. XXXX documented the 3 months of forbearance as 3 delinquent payments and threw me into foreclosure and forced me to agree with a foreclosure modification and did not explain the difference in a federal disaster forbearance modification and a foreclosure modification. Please help me straighten this out and get the delinquency off my credit report so I can get away from this unethical mortgage company. The mortgaged property is at XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX in XXXX XXXX, where I hope to retire to. I live and work in XXXX and my address is XXXX XXXX   XXXX # XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Thank you. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX-XXXX.
