To Whom This May Concern, I was denied a modification by SPS and I have not had a modification since XXXX - 5 years ago. I have the right to modify my loan after 12 months and is well above the 12 month mark since my last modification. I have taken detailed notes of all interactions with SPS and I was told multiple times that my account was eligible for a modification without even asking. I spoke with loss mitigation multiple times to review income, tax returns and my employment status and not a single rep, point of contact or underwriter mentioned that I was ineligible for a modification. I have been trying to get myself reviewed since XXXX and I was constantly told that documents were not received or my employment date needed to be clarified ( I clarified 3 times ). When I inquired as to why the account was deemed ineligible I was told that I had a recent modification and that is simply not true, based on your own records at SPS. I was not given any other information, asked to be transferred to a supervisor and were hung up My account needs to be reviewed for a loan modification immediately. 
Here is a detailed record of all my interactions with SPS over the last few months, where I was told multiple times that I am ineligible for a modification : *** XXXX *** XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX AM NOTE [ n ] - Called SPS, rep said that an NOD was sent out, needs to be cured by XXXX or will be referred to an attorney for legal action. Said the loan was recently modified on XX/XX/XXXX. I asked if the loan is eligible for a mod, rep said no, I asked why not, she said that info is in the denial letter. I told her that the letter says it was denied because she had a RECENT mod, the rep could not tell me if we can reapply for a mod, she just kept saying she is not eligible for a mod and it is in the denial letter as to why, asked to be transferred to a supervisor, rep hung up.
