Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC (MD)

My home is in foreclosure. I am working with Specialized Loan Servicing. I submitted a request for modification through XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX has not been active as an advocate for me to get relief from SLS. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from SLS indicating they want a letter of explanation. This followed a request for a copy of my pension documents from the XXXX XXXX XXXX County, Maryland. The requester was XXXX XXXX, ID # XXXX. All of this information was to help them modify my loan to a point I can make the monthly payment. Just a few days later, before I was able to submit a letter of explanation I received a letter from XXXX XXXX ID # XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX ( just 4 days ) indicating my loan was modified and my trial payments were {$1500.00}. This is the same modification that was offered to me in XX/XX/XXXX. I talked with XXXX XXXX then and told her I could not make that payment due to my fixed income. I am XXXX and receive a Social Security check for {$1800.00} a month and a pension check for {$430.00}. This pension is based on my being a Volunteer XXXX XXXX XXXX for 43 years. I told XXXX XXXX in XXXX I could not afford the monthly payment and needed it to be around {$1000.00} a month. Notwithstanding she sent the same modification out so I can not afford it and they will take my home. She did not reference any of the documents sent to them by XXXX wherein I requested the lower payment. Furthermore they made their decision before I was able to send the letter into XXXX XXXX. In my opinion they are bargaining in bad faith, knowing I can not afford their modification. I have lived in my home since XXXX.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (NV)

Hello, in 2008 I was XXXX XXXX from my job. I found another job, but was XXXX  around 54 % of my previous income. During that time, my loan was with XXXX XXXX. I asked well before my lay off if they are able to help me until I am able to be at a fairly good standpoint. I also called all my credit cards and requested the same. I have never been late on any of my accounts at that time, and I had a FICO score of XXXX. I was told by XXXX XXXX there is nothing they can do, and to make sure I sell my stocks before I default ( while she laughed ). I ended up losing a good percentage of my stocks due to the crash, as well as cashing some money out to help with my XXXX, to the point all my money was gone. It was n't until I missed two payments that I received a call from XXXX XXXX stating they can help me. 

Prior to the modification I had a principal balance of ( rough estimates ) around {$220000.00} with 22 or 23 years left on my mortgage. I then spoke with them about a loan modification. I also asked if I may pay what I can to apply to my mortgage loan. I was specifically told by making a payment, it does not show hardship and my modification may be denied. In short, when the modification was finally completed my new principal loan was now around {$310000.00} with a new 40 year term. My home was already undervalued, and with the modifications undervalued my home even further. 

My loan is now with XXXX XXXX, and I am unable to do a refinance that will make my payments lower than what I pay now. My main questions are : Why would they increase my principal balance and term, rather than keeping my original principal the same with an extended term to lower my monthly payment? 
I have spoke with multiple people who own multiple properties that all had principal reductions. I was just trying to save my one home. 

Also, now my loan is no longer with XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX, with no equity am I still able to refinance without paying more than I am now? 

I have a bigger family who are getting older, as prices and medical cost keep rising, while my salary has not increased. I am close to struggling again, but as before try to anticipate my options to prevent that struggle from happening. 

With the increase in principal and increase term from XXXX XXXX a mistake? I noticed those who received a principal reduction, and actually got help from the loan modifications were those who had bad credit, with multiple late payments. Was I judged base on my credit history and willing to pay? 

Thanks for your help.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (FL)

Navient has considered each semester I took a loan as separate loans. Each month they apply interest and penalties to each of the loans, which now total 13 separate loans for the same school attended. I have tried to speak with Navient on several occasions and they have never helped. Each time I speak to them, I am told that nothing can be done, even consolidation of the loans, much less crediting me with the interest and penalties on all but one of the loans after consolidation. Now a {$30000.00} loan has become a {$130000.00} loan, and it continues to climb daily. Navient has provided no counseling or information - they just continually say, " NO, we ca n't do that. '' My credit is now ruined, and it shows a negative ratio of money coming in and going out. I really need this issue resolved and my credit to be restored.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NY)

I, XXXX XXXX, ( the " Borrower '' ) am the innocent victim of foreclosure fraud perpetrated by BANK AMERICA, N.A. ( the " Lender '' ). Lender is located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC XXXX, ATTN : XXXX XXXX XXXX, CEO, tel. ( XXXX ). Borrower 's Home Equity Line of Credit ( HELOC ) Account No. is XXXX. Borrower 's Bank America, N.A. 's Checking Account No. is XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

According to the terms of Borrower 's HELOC contract with Lender ( successor to XXXX XXXX ) dated and commenced on XX/XX/XXXX, funds to pay for the monthly Periodic Finance Charge ( interest and interest only ) as stipulated by the Automatic Payment Authorization provision in the HELOC contract are to be debited monthly. 

This above-referenced debiting from Borrower 's checking account occurred successfully and faultlessly from the HELOC loan 's inception until XX/XX/XXXX, a period of almost eight ( 8 ) years, when the Lender put Borrower 's HELOC loan into " default '' status claiming there were insufficient funds in his checking account to pay for that month 's Periodic Finance Charge. On the contrary, Borrower has endorsed Bank America, N.A. deposit slip proof indicating the funds in cash were in Borrower 's checking account per the terms of the HELOC contract each and every month through the present date. Lender commenced a fraudulent foreclosure action upon the Borrower without ever providing a truthful and valid reason as to the cause as to why and how there could be insufficient funds in Borrower 's checking account. 

The Lender never truthfully nor timely nor completely responded to Borrower 's multiple verbal as well as written requests to answer the reason for the insufficient funds. After several years, the Borrower ascertained that the Lender illegally and fraudulently debited the Borrower 's checking account to pay a Lender-Placed Flood Policy premium in XX/XX/XXXX. The Lender never complained before this XX/XX/XXXX date, an approximate eight ( 8 ) year period, that the Borrower was ever not compliant with his flood policy coverage per the terms .of the HELOC contract.Instead, the Lender illicitly debited the Borrower 's checking account.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

Short summary : Wells Fargo did not prepay my property tax for no reason when they willingly prepaid another customer 's property tax Details : My complaints are about Wells Fargo 's practice on customer 's mortgage escrow account. I sent an online message to Wells Fargo ( WF ) on XX/XX/XXXX to ask if they can prepay my property tax that is due in XX/XX/XXXX. This was after the tax reform bill was passed. The response I received said WF could n't honor my request because the escrow funds will be disbursed earlier than anticipated. Hence I prepaid the tax bill with my own funds. Later on XX/XX/XXXX when I was talking to a friend who also has a mortgage with WF, I found out that his property tax bill was prepaid by WF. He told me that WF was even willing to lend money to prepay the tax bill as there was not enough funds in the escrow account. I requested an explanation to WF but they have not provided me any so far. I have been nothing but a great customer. I have not had any complaint before, and my payments are always on time. Only reason I have had my mortgage with WF is because it was sold to them by the local lender that I originally obtained it from. WF should not be allowed to buy mortgage from other lenders without customers consent.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (OH)

In the last 60 days, I attempted to acquire a XXXX home loan from USAA. 
During the initial process I was asked to lock in a rate. What was not mentioned was that there is a penalty if not closed by the time the lock expires. This was not mentioned until after the rate was locked in and closing was approaching. I was offered the opportunity to buy my way into a better rate. A common practice these days that would be called bribery in any other dealings. The problem here was that the amount of bribe money ( points ) was not comparable to the amount of savings over the course of the loan. 
All documents requested were provided promptly and within the closing window. What would have been helpful is if the list of necessary documents and explanations were available up front. Once their list of demands from the underwriters was satisfied a new list of demands would come up. This happened several times and led to not making the closing date. One particular item of contention was the underwriter 's inability to comprehend investment withdrawal documents that spelled out money transfers and deposits. You would think this sort of thing would be easy for people that are required to track money all day every day. There are many things that USAA does well, mortgage underwriting is not one of them. 
No matter how all the process went there was always someone with their hand out wanting more money to make this loan happen. From paying for a better rate to paying for rate lock in that was exceeded because of them to paying to get a rate after being convinced to withdraw one application and start another in order to save money, just to have them try to take it back out of my pocket. There was an offer for zero origination fees that came up and would save me over {$1000.00}. What came up after the fact was the detail that it would cost me nearly that much or another 30 days waiting to get an interest rate. 
Every part of this process and any time I have dealt with home buying at all there is no end to the crooked money grubbing garbage that is passed off as legal process. 
Something needs to be done about the unending chain of paperwork and underhanded misdealing that these banks and financial institutions are using to get one over on XXXX and XXXX XXXX. 
The bottom line of this whole thing is that I would have paid this loan completely and timely. These buffoons simply screwed themselves out of all that interest money.
