Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (CA)

applied for a modification twice and twice denied. The first denial according to their loan specialist was because the house did n't appraise for their drive-by perceived value. Appealed their decision, the second time it was because the income was not correct and I believe the house value. An independent appraisal stated that the value was $ XXXX more than their stated value. They are now saying that the NVP is negative, but in speaking with professionals in the real estate area, none have heard of any lender or servicer using this as a tool for a modification. This supposedly is used for income property to determine cash flow. This is a single family home.They are also using something called a mock NVP which no one has heard of. I have asked them to explain, but nothing as of this date. They have also used old income stats for this evaluation even though I have told them the income has changed from XXXX to XXXX. I am not sure what type of game this servicer is playing but it is not ethical. Nationstar is the servicer. And while they did provide a dedicated loan specialist, she was many times uninformed and did n't get back with us in a timely manner with answers. And they repeatedly stated they did n't receive information that was either faxed or submitted thru XXXX. Thus I figured using a third party would be a verification of information sent. Please let me know what I can do at this point or where I should go for further assistance..

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (PA)

Original Mortgage company is NATIONSTAR, ( XXXX, TX XXXX ). Mortgage rate of 30 year term beginning in XX/XX/2006 was 7.0 %. We applied for and received a home equity loan from XXXX at a significantly lower interest rate to pay off the original mortgage. The request for the payoff amount was made by us to NATIONSTAR by telephone conversation. This payoff amount was not detailed by telephone but mailed to us several days later. We closed on the loan on XX/XX/XXXX and a cashier 's check was mailed overnight by XXXX to the address that Nationstar provided. 
A mortgage statement arrived by mail on XX/XX/XXXX detailing a delinquent payment for XX/XX/XXXX, penalty charges and due XX/XX/XXXX payment. A phone conversation with Nationstar on XX/XX/XXXX ultimately revealed that they did receive a check but had not processed it because it was not in the appropriate amount of the payoff. 
When asked about any attempts to contact us in the interim, their reply was unintelligible to us. During this period we had noticed a definite stepped-up bombardment of invitations to refinance with them by email, US mail and special delivery. No successful contact was made until the mortgage statement. 
We paid the penalty and the XX/XX/XXXX mortgage payment while we tried to ascertain the disposition of the cashier 's check. Nationstar claims to have returned it to the XXXX. 
Alas, we 've been sent an image of the cashier 's check that WAS presented for payment by Nationstar. Nationstar processed our check for XXXX XXXX dollars on XX/XX/XXXX and our account has yet to be credited!

I never received any paperwork at the time they told me it would be mailed to me so once I did receive it in the mail I went over it and it was not correct, it was not what I was shown to me and agreed upon. iThe interest rate in this paperwork was higher then my credit card interest I tried to talk to someone at the bank numerous times where I was told I was given paperwork and I told them no I was told it would be mailed I received no paperwork before leaving.

I contacted XXXX to negotiate a settlement, they did not reply. 

My credit report says it is a charge off. I contacted XXXX again and requested a 1099-C since written off accounts are income and do not belong on a credit report. They did not reply. 

If XXXX sold the debt, they need to update my credit report to a balance of XXXX. If they leave my account with a balance after they sold the debt, they are committing double jeopardy. 

If they have not sold my debt, they need to respond to me in writing regarding negotiating a settlement. 

It is not legal for them to be currently and continuously reporting negative information about me without providing any way for me to make improvements.
