Complaint:
XXXX and XXXX XXXX, due to a job relocation, have been attempting to sell their property located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, OR XXXX for over two years. 
Recently we were able to get the XXXX lien holder, XXXX, to agree to a short sale and they have provided the FHA Approval To Participate letter on XX/XX/XXXX. Please see attached documents. The XXXX lien older, US Bank, has been " processing and reviewing '' the same short sale documents that XXXX has approved since XX/XX/XXXX, At this time they have stalled the process of the short sale review with no explanation. Please see attached email string where I have asked, then demanded, some indication of the activity on the file. I keep getting an email from XXXX XXXX, the Customer Relations Manager, telling me the file is being reviewed. It 's been " being reviewed '' for almost 5 months now! It 's past time for a decision but US Bank is deliberately stalling this file for their own reasons, none of which have to do with the file. They asked me for a Request for Mortgage Assistance ( RMA ) on XX/XX/XXXX and it was completed and sent to them the same day. But when I called them to see what the status of the file was on XX/XX/XXXX the US Bank folks told me they did not have the RMA and required it. I emailed it to tem again and apparently they found it, or did not lose it, that time. Then on XX/XX/XXXX they asked for another group of documents, including the same XX/XX/2014 Federal Tax Return we had sent in back on XX/XX/XXXX, a copy of the Homeowner 's Declaration page and the Property Tax Statement, which we had previously informed them on XX/XX/XXXX by signed and dated written statements that the XXXX lien holder had been taking care of, and a copy of the XXXX lien holder payoff statement, AGAIN provided to tem on XX/XX/XXXX. The Relationship Manager, XXXX XXXX, sent an email on XX/XX/XXXX asking for a VALID PURCHASE AGREEMENT. That document had been sent in XXXX times previously, on XX/XX/XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX told me they needed a fully signed sales agreement but, after reviewing the file VERY carefully and not seeing any missed signatures and asking for specifics as to the supposed missing signatures, she would not provide any specific page numbers or page identification information. See attached email string. 

US Bank is deliberately stalling the process of this short sale request and refusing to cooperate to allow the borrower to avoid foreclosure. They are obstructing the process by " losing documents '', asking for correction on imaginary problems and in general not acting in good faith with the borrower. They are the quintessence of a financial institution that thumbs its nose at the federal regulatory agencies by not cooperating with their customers as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act intended to enforce and that intentionally causes damage to the lives of heir " customers ''.
