My husband and I have been trying to obtain a loan modification from our lender, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage for many years! They have claimed that they did not receive all requested documents, which we sent via certified mail, and closed our file many times, to which we appealed. My husband is rated XXXX % XXXX by the Veterans Administration from XXXX and XXXX XXXX as a result of his military service during XXXX, and the XXXX and fear of losing our home has debilitated him further and we almost lost him in. In XX/XX/XXXX, I assumed negotiations with Wells Fargo because my husband 's health prevented him from doing so. Wells Fargo invited me to apply for another loan modification, denied us because there was not enough equity, and now has denied us because there is equity. They will not tell us what income we need to have in order to qualify, and I was told Wells Fargo 's investors do not want modified loans. They keep sending us " Net Present Value '' analysis, that show a monthly payment that we can in fact afford, but yet they continue to deny us a loan modification, " due to the Net Present Value. '' They are not transparent in their dealings with us as customers, and they have made it impossible for us to get our loan modification so that we can begin making payments and keep our home. Below is an outline of just my dealings with them since XX/XX/XXXX. There were many more in the years prior which I can give to you as well.

She instructed me to call them to let them know we are in active loan modification process and not in active foreclosure. I called the telephone number that she gave to me for the attorneys, and was told that the only way this law firm could stop the foreclosure is by direct notice from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.

Further, " Once we determined that you did not meet the requirements for a particular program, we did not continue to evaluate that program based on other criteria related to your loan type or information you may have supplied.

He conferenced " XXXX '' from underwriting on the call and I explained that I had to sell the stock in our IRA to pay our former lawyer, XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX, who claimed he could help us negotiate a loan modification and is now suing us. XXXX XXXX asked if I had any questions, and I asked him directly why we did not qualify for a loan modification based upon the Net Present Value analysis. He indicated that there is a formula used by the federal government with 40 financial factors, but that Wells Fargo Home Mortgage 's responsibility is to their investors, and that a negative Net Present Value diminishes the value of our mortgage as an investment and it declines post-modification. I asked him what we need to do to qualify for a loan modification and he said that he could not give me specifics and that our situation is not correctable. XX/XX/XXXX - Letter from XXXX XXXX, Home Preservation Specialist, indicating we do not meet the requirements of the Proprietary Step Rate Program due to the results of the Net Present Value evaluation.

XX/XX/XXXX - We sent a letter via fax to XXXX XXXX to request suspension of foreclosure sale because we are being harassed by Realtors in huge quantities every time Wells Fargo sets a sale date which is public information, and written request to provide us with the detailed explanation of the Net Present Value analysis used to deny our modification so we understand why we do not qualify. XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX XXXX called and said our foreclosure has been suspended, with an active sale date of XX/XX/XXXX. She said we can complete a new application for loan modification. She asked me if I received a denial letter from XXXX, to which I responded I did not, and she asked me if XXXX told me whether there is an appeal process, to which I responded they had not at this time. She said our case is in the executive office only as it relates to the Net Present Value information, and that " outside sources in the company do n't always correspond '', which is why she did not have that information regarding XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX - I received a call from XXXX XXXX indicating she is in final review of our loan modification application and has moved the sale date to XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX of Wells Fargo called me and said there will not be any further review for loan modification again, that we are not eligible for an appeal, and that the foreclosure sale has been postponed to XX/XX/XXXX, and will not be postponed further. She said the Net Present Value is a formula based on the national treasury, and that on XX/XX/XXXX, Wells Fargo conducted a new appraisal of our property which increased the value to {$710000.00} which we do n't qualify for. She said even at {$750000.00} value, we do n't qualify. ( She did not provide me with the specifics we have been asking for as to exactly WHY we did not qualify. They have kept their answers vague and have withheld information that would help us qualify for a loan modification and keep our home. ) I asked again why we were turned down, and what income we need to qualify, and she said that she will not provide that information because it is a sensitive subject. She would not give me the percentage requirement of income to loan ratio set forth by Wells Fargo in qualifying borrowers for home loans. She said from this point forward, I can work with XXXX XXXX in the home preservation department, and she was sorry it did not work out for us. We have received information from an attorney indicating that Wells Fargo may be in violation of California Civil Code Sections 2923.6, 2923.7, Negligence, violation of Business and Professions Code Section 17200, Et Seq, and accounting and are in violation of the Homeowners Bill of Rights, but do not have the financial resources to file legal action against this giant. We respectfully request your help, so that our rights can be enforced relating to Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, and appreciate your advocacy as you deem appropriate. With much appreciation!
