Complaint:
I am homeless ( in XXXX, XXXX ). I have a house in XXXX that I can not sell with only a mortgage for an addition I had to do to replace a condemned garage. I bought the house itself cash. I have not been able to pay this mortgage nor taxes, and the mortgage company keeps boosting up the money owed. At this point, I 've lost a lot of money and pretty much all my equity on the house. This mortgage company has always been shady and I 've complained before. I asked them why they have n't foreclosed and they simply said that they " charged it off '' because they did n't want it. Meanwhile, with an original XXXX loan, house worth near 70K, the loan now says I owe almost 38K after about 8 years, last year was my time of trouble, otherwise I paid okay. They told me ( after many calls/cut offs/etc ) that they send a letter to my place of residence which I got evicted from so could never get the mail. I said okay FAX a copy to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( who are taking care of me ) and they said they did n't have a copy - although they had verbally read the contents/etc off to me on the phone. I have this one thing for XXXX left to get help and I can not get it. I even sent DHHS my credit report showing the charge off. Food stamps a must, plus SSI and XXXX for XXXX. Luckily I finally go XXXX. Help. How can a mortgage company pull this. Why ca n't DHHS work with me - I 've visited them, called them, got info to them any way I can. They 've already got so much money out of me with high interest, fees, etc. Help. I will forward what I sent to the Federal Reserve. All the info is there. My number is XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX. 
I hope you can help. Thank you.
