Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (CA)

We have asked for your company select portfolio servicing inc to investigate these matters and your company gives us incomplete investigation information. 


Under our homeowner bill of rights we have the right to ask for this information and you keep giving us incomplete information we demand to get complete information. 




I understand that under Section 6 of RESPA you are required to acknowledge my request within 20 business days and must try to resolve the issue within 60 business days. Please treat this letter as a " qualified written request '' under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 2605 ( e ).

I am writing to you to complain about the accounting and servicing of my mortgage and my need for understanding and clarification of various charges, credits, debits, transactions, reversals, actions, payments, analyses and records related to the servicing of my loan from its origination to the present date. To date, the documents and information I have, that you have sent me, and the conversations with your service representatives can not answer my many questions. 
It is my understanding that your company has been accused as engaging in one or more predatory lending and servicing schemes. As a citizen, I am extremely concerned about such practices by anyone, let alone my own mortgage company or anyone who has held a beneficial interest in my QUALIFIED WRITTEN REQUEST COMPLAINT DISPUTE OF DEBT/ VALIDATION OF DEBT TILA REQUEST Page 2 of 8 loan. I am concerned that such abuses are targeting the uneducated and uninformed consumer and disadvantaged, poor, elderly and minorities.

Needless to say, I am more concerned as an alleged borrower. I am worried that potential fraudulent and deceptive practices by unscrupulous mortgage brokers ; sales and transfers of mortgage servicing rights ; deceptive and fraudulent servicing practices to enhance balance sheets ; deceptive, abusive and fraudulent accounting tricks and practices may have negatively affected my credit rating, mortgage account and/or the debt or payments to which I am legally obligated.

Because of this and other reasons that leave me to believe that I may be a victim of predatory lending, I am disputing the validity of the current debt you claim I owe. By debt I am referring to : 1. The principal balance claimed owed ; 2. My calculated monthly payment, 3. Calculated escrow payment 4. And any fees claimed to be owed by you or any trust or entity you may represent.

I have reason to believe that the loan terms were misrepresented to me at the time of application and further obscured and/
or modified prior to signing. I believe that my income may have been inflated on the application. I also have reason to believe that certain statements were not provided for my approval prior to closing, and that signatures may have been forged on various documents. It is also my belief that certain documents may have not been presented at all. Additionally, I believe that a notary was not physically present to witness my signatures on several pertinent documents and that I was ill advised at the time of closing. 
To independently validate my debt, I need to conduct a complete exam, audit, review and accounting of my mortgage loan from its inception through the present date. Upon receipt of this letter, please refrain from reporting ANY negative credit information [ if any ] to any credit-reporting agency until you respond to each of my requests.

QUALIFIED WRITTEN REQUEST COMPLAINT DISPUTE OF DEBT/ VALIDATION OF DEBT TILA REQUEST Page 3 of 8 I also request that you kindly conduct your own investigation and audit of my account since its inception to validate the debt you currently claim I owe.

Increased the principal balance I owe ; 3. Increased my escrow payments ; 4. Increased the amounts applied and attributed toward interest on my account ; 5. Decreased the proper amounts applied and attributed toward principal on my account ; and/or 6. Assessed, charged and/or collected fees, expenses and misc. charges I am not legally obligated to pay under my mortgage, note and/or deed of trust. 7.

I am thinking about contracting the Home Owners Foreclosure Hotline and/or one of their affiliates to perform a forensic document review of your investigation and audit of my account. To help me decide if I am going to move forward with a third party auditing company, I need : ( 1 ) copies of all documents pertaining to the origination of the alleged mortgage and note including my loan application ( s ), Right to cancel, deed of trust, note, adjustable rate note, addendum to the note for the interest only payment period, truth in lending statements, good faith estimate ( GFE ), HUD 1, appraisal, and all required disclosures and rate sheets QUALIFIED WRITTEN REQUEST COMPLAINT DISPUTE OF DEBT/ VALIDATION OF DEBT TILA REQUEST Page 4 of 8 associated with this transaction for the above referenced loan.

( 2 ) A copy of the loan history including all payments made, all fees incurred, what has been paid out of the escrow account, and how all payments were applied. This information should cover the ENTIRE life of the loan.
