Complaint:
I want t express my frustration on working on a Loan Modification request with Select Portfolio. Not only did they make the situation matter more complicated, they made it worst. It all started when I requested a Loan Modification back in XX/XX/2015. More than 4 years ago, I requested a loan modification on my house because I was experiencing an extreme hardship. My wife of many years and I encounter some life problems which resulted in her leaving me and a divorce. Through out this process, I became very ill and had an XXXX XXXX. My emotions were all over the place and I had a XXXX XXXX. Due to my XXXX XXXX, I was not myself and was considered XXXX. My family locked me up in a XXXX XXXX for a couple of years until I became better again. I have all documentation pertaining to the XXXX XXXX I had and also being in a XXXX XXXX  due to my XXXX  XXXX. This cause me a huge breakdown in my life because I was not able to work, and my expenses for the house kept increasing. I apologize the debt has become this large but its due to my XXXX  state, like I said I have all needed information to proof you of my hardship. Once I was out of the institution, my life started to get together slowly by the use of family members. They helped me at the beginning by providing me financially until I can get to my feet and start a life again, that was destroyed by my previous marriage. 
After all my financial situation was getting better, I decided to look for help from SPS to come clean and start making payments. 
Throughout the process of the loan modification, the bank kept bringing up my previous review. They kept requesting information from a loan modification that started 3 years ago. I kept telling them me and my wife were not together anymore, and they still wanted her finances, shes not even part of this loan, and nowhere near my life, I believe I was getting bullied by them or in a way they just wanted to make fun of me and I did not appreciate any of the gestures. Once it became clear after a couple of months, they denied my loan modification due to not enough income to support a loan modification, but approved me for a Repayment Plan. The Loan Modification was based on a payment of {$2800.00} which included the escrow. The Repayment Plan was for {$5400.00} on a monthly basis. I called this XXXX and excuse my language. I can not qualify for {$2800.00} but I qualify for {$5400.00} which is insane. I know this bank has been after my property because it possesses a great market value. I know they are doing this on purpose to take ownership of my house. Im scared of the sales date. I tried to re modify again and they said no, just sell the house or we would foreclosure. Please help me with a Loan Modification, it is neither my fault I had a XXXX XXXX  XXXX  that caused me to be hospitalized and cause me my hardship. I just want my house, please stop the foreclosure until we can finalize a review.
